JROD what was your prep like before that show, and what show/when was it? Would you be interested in hearing more about the Adonis Principles? Someone here means to suggest that you could have saved yourself alot of pain, suffering and sacrifice. 
The show was the 2006 Team Universe, which was on July 14th and 15th (pictures below are from prejudging).
My prep before the show was fairly simple. I put together a diet and gradually reduced calories every week. My basic diet stayed the same, but calories were gradually reduced. I drank a lot of water throughout, and manipulated sodium/potassium/water a few days before the show. Here's another description:

A) TA is just messing around with everybody and enjoying the fact that people really think he is serious. He's probably enjoys arguing with you guys.
Or
B) TA is serious. If so, to each his own. I dont think there's anything wrong with him believing in his principles. In fact, regardless of whether they work or not, it is comforting to believe you know what you're doing. I would say its better that he does something wrong which he truly believes in, rather than doing something thats right but he thinks is wrong (at least that way he is happy). Even worse, he does nothing. Hey, at least he seems proud of his accomplishments (nothing wrong with that).
Is it A or B? It doesnt really matter to me. Either way, I dont mind him posting about his principles.
