Its just hard for me to justify spending that kind of money for a local show. I can understand doing it for Nationals, but doing it for a small show, can't see that.
One more thing. Am I the only one that doesn't weigh his food, or take a ton of BCAA's, glutamine, creatine, NO, and other shit that's out there. I read some of these threads and guys are counting every gram of food that goes into their mouth, taking their bf% every week, etc...If you eat a lot of food, train hard, you will get big right? Add some test/deca/d-ball and grow? Man, i'm getting fucking old!!! Back in my day, we just had Mega Mass 200 and Gainer's Fuel. LOL
