Wow. thanks alot, I am here at work trying to fix pics, but overall I am amazed by the support you guys have given me. So the play by play went like this:
Friday night like a big dummy, I was driving around instead of resting, getting last minute comp stuff, because I rested thursday (ass backwards I know) Anywhoo, I was up until 3 am getting prepped, as my wife put the last coat of pro tan on, did the at home teeth whitening thing, and posed and such, I was quite nervous all the way until i finally was forced to sleep, by sheer tiredness. 6 am I was up and ready to go, showered, and weighed myself !!! at sheer horror I was 205...not where I wanted to be so I thought. I said no worries, poped some L-arginine with little water, along with some BCAA's and was out the door to the comp. I get to the comp, at 8:30 because check-in is at 9am. I check in, but as I am walking in you see the game faces of of the seasoned vets looking each competitor up and down. I was ishin bricks, as I see some people with gaunt faces, and fire in their eyes, I see women who look like men in better shape than me, and I see serious mass monsters sleeping in pure relaxation, as if this comp is another day for them.
I check in, and make a wise choice-I enter Heavyweight Novice only as I was still in Heavyweight class ( i was pissed because usually heavyweight class is filled with freaks, and I thought I could not hold a candle to them, so I aimed to come in as a tall light-heavy) I popped a dyazide to see if I could drop to LH's by weigh-in. Then more and more people checked in by 10:15 all 130 competitors checked in. The meeting starts, and line-ups are called. I pissed like a race horse, and by the time of the LH weigh in it turns out to be 19 competitors in the novice class, and 21 in the open class. So I am thinking ohh ish, I def did not need to be in thi class hopefully the dyazide soes not make me be in this class...
By weigh ins i am 200lbs even -pheeeww... slow carb-up begins with vitargo. and little water. I feel great, and talk to some peeps I know. Prejudging time, and I see that I have 4 competitors who are ripped beyond belief, and one is **** loading like crazy, comes to find out this guy flew in from Russia, just for this contest. He outweighs me by 10 lbs, and looked great, while being the same height-6'1".
Pre-judgung is done, and I pretty much know I am in last place but it is cool, as I am focused on the night show, and looking better, and thinking about the next show and how to do it. I eat with the wifey and some other competitors, and drive back to the comp. While resting, i decide, hey why not pop a Venom. WRONG effing move !!! 30 minutes later my notorious cramps in my legs come but worse than before. my left leg seized, and for 1 hour it seized in waves, as my wife rushed to the store to get 1 gallon of water, and and OJ, while I screamed in the worse pain I can say is with me today. I gulp down the OJ, and wait, and by that time I am drained, and barely able to walk. I go back to the building, and lay down, and low and behold my legs seize while resting them on a bench while lying on the floor. A fellow competitior says how much salt have you had today, and I think holy sheit- none, so I ask my wife to go to the concession stand to get me a hot dog. A hot dog never tasted soo good. Cramps over!!!
Night show goes over well, as we pose to our music, while the light heavies (novice) are compared 3 times in the night show, while already enduring three seperate call-outs in prejudging. Needless to say I was happy, because If I had of dropped in weigt like planned, I don't know if i would be typing today, one of my friends was a light heavy, and he dried out so nicely, yesterday he could barely walk, or talk, it was that effing grueling. Overall I made some connections, and I am proud my parents, and friends came, and I rocked it... Pics on the way, be patient...
