First of all the show was really small, only like 25 male competitors, in ALL classes including master, juniors and open.
I did the mens open, with a whopping 3 competitors. With myself the only one who was in contest type condition.
Went through the morning prejudging in about 2 minutes lol, it went so quick, i was shocked, i knew i had it because the two guys standing next to me didnt even belong on a bodybuilding stage.
So the posing round ends and they bring all 3 of us out. And my name is announced in SECOND PLACE!!!!!!!!! I think some in the crowd actually boo'd haha, and the guy who won looked suprised.
So a judge runs me down and tells me I had better shape, symmetry, presentation, conditioning, was tighter, but the other guy had "more muscle" ( he also had 15lbs more fat ). So thats why he won. He was also standing on tree limbs for legs and had a spare tire.
So i guess that means i must have really looked like shit or something because the guy who won did.
Im using this as motivation. Im going to eat some good food for the next couple of days, since i have been dieting since MAY!!!!!! But come Tuesday im going to hit it harder than i ever have before.
Shit, Im going to have to hold myself back from going to the gym tomorrow lol, im really THAT motivated!!!!
All in all the dieting and transformation I made was quite amazing, ill have to post some before and afters. But the show part was complete and utter bullshit. How 3 people (judges) can bring me down after 4 months of hard work, that shouldnt happen! And i wont let it happen again !!!
