17 weeks out !!! Let's do it !!

Congrats!!! So proud of you! ??
 
Congrats man!! I never had any doubts, you were focused all through this journey!!!
 
Thanks I appreciate it ! It was a long grueling prep, but it payed off in the end.
 
I find a longer more controlled prep is the best for me and yours was just that. You always stayed way ahead which allowed you to get ultra shredded.
 
Ya I was just comparing pics. This is Aug and then my show.

Nah wasn't going to ask that. Different people have different reactions. Most I know have a hard time staying awake. The 1mg was only for the porn star erections, not just controlling prolactin. I would agree that .5 is plenty for keeping prolactin sides at bay for most unless on a serious dose.


Congrats man, you were absolutely peeled! I didn't see the other competitors but you were definitely in absolutely amazing condition!!!!

You were more sliced no doubt. For me the better conditioned athlete should win but some go more for size.

They probably just didn't want to give you the entire show. LOL You were spot on brother!
 
Lol. My brother knew one of the judges and said I missed 1st by a point. It came down to him having more size he believes.

I guess I would have had to see him there live and in person to the size advantage...
 
So a few weeks later and 20lbs heavier I feel a LOT better haha. You never realize how out of it you are until you get rehydrated and some real nutrients back in you ! I am bloated most of the time haha so I ordered some digestive enzymes and probiotics to help. Even though I am carrying a lot of water I am still pretty lean. Still have veins in my quads and calves, lines across my tris, and all though it looks like a GH turtleshell by the time evening comes around, I can still see the lines in my abs lol.

Right now I am still eating bro foods my first 4 meals, eggs, chicken, broccoli, rice etc and then eating what ever the wife fixes for supper. Although she is still keeping things pretty healthy it is harder to keep track of my cals. Been eating things like burritos with whole wheat tortillas and venison, deer chilli, venison meatloaf etc. So I am around 32-3600 cals.

I am looking at competing again in June with my brother. He is got the itch to get back on stage now so it'll be pretty cool to compete with him.

Also I am starting to get feedback from the judges. Pretty good so far "Excellent conditioning. Add more muscle to your frame with similar conditioning and you will on your way." But, much respect to your conditioning it stood out! Add some size to match that conditioning!!! " "U dominated and were amazing to watch on stage." "Great symmetry" " I saw the complete package."

Makes me feel pretty good. I went into this with a competitive attitude, but was mainly just happy to get on stage and see how far I could push myself. I never dreamed I would do as well as I did !!
 
That's great that you got such good feedback! You definitely did an amazing job! Glad you're feeling good and back to eating normal now! Lol
 
Some great feedback! You lost some muscle mass trying to get down into that weight class for sure, but it probably already right back on from the super compensation effect. I always say no need to lose muscle to get into a lower weight class. Considering you won the Open Overall you would have probably done just as well not pushing for the lower weight class and coming in the same condition. Hard to argue with your kick ass placing regardless!

Like I said though, the muscle is already recovered I am sure, and now you just get to build on top of that and come in 5-10 lbs heavier stage weight next year if all works out well. Are you planning on Nationals for your next show?

Yes I am growing pretty quick :D And that is the plans to do it right and put on some more size before my next show. I don't think I am going to do a nationals though. Looking at some of last years pictures I think I really need to put some more size on first, even for the masters class.

Are you contemplating adding in HGH, it is a game changer if you are going to take bodybuilding in the NPC seriously.
