competed sat at a Nat Qualifier....long stressful weekend. My last show was in 2008 and I won the overall that year as a 170lb middleweight. This show ended up being the biggest in TN ever with 173 competitors. I felt good monday as weighed around 184 and and figured I would be a small Light Heavyweight. Well fast forward to weigh ins, I arrived fri at 5:30 to weigh in and stepped on the scale and damn it if i didnt weigh 178... less than 2 lbs from making the middles ::) so....i decided to come back at the cutoff time of 8:30 to try and lose the water and come in as a BIG middleweight...well it didnt happen. Weighed 177. I knew my color was good and i was in shape so just did the best i could. I will be the first to say I always have the best legs in my class, however my upper body just doesnt have the size to bang with the bigger guys. My back is my worst bodypart and when i saw my rear lat i was shocked as i destroyed the lineup....still was 4th after all was said and done. Like a true getbigger last place ;D Oh well....have another qualifier Aug 4th and will come in as a middleweight and see what happens...enjoy my awful pics ;D
-
WTF how did you take last in that group?? You murdered everyone in conditioning, and you weren't outmuscled by anyone except the black guy a bit.
Do you have any more comparison pics??
btw, you looked great
-
dude thanks..... i have no damn idea...these are the only pics my fiance got it was her first show. They will have some up on the contest website i hope by the end of the week. I am still confused I thought for sure as lean as i was i would make top 2 after i saw the lineup backstage and they way they moved us just FYI.... placing order left to right 1st, 4th, 3rd, 2nd....dont understand it at all
-
Just found this one.... I HATE this most muscular shot but the head judge called "hand on hips" most muscular, my clavicles are so damn narrow I have to hands together or i look like a tiny tit...
-
You look great man, esp your overall balance & conditioning. :)

congrats, you re homosexual. Have a nice day.

Yeah, it must suck to end dead last after a long prep, but this looks like a pretty good line up. The only remarkable differences I see are the backs, only that guy in red has a good v-taper.
Why not take a long off season and switch to the light heavies?
-
last place
What did you expect ???
You look like absolute shit, I hope this helps.

These shows are so close together and the nest show i dont have to travel...its about 10 min from my home. It just an EASY qualifier to do since i can go back home and relax after weigh ins, tanning is easier, etc....I will do that next year
-
How original ::)
Shut up bitch

Shut up bitch
Now you hurt my feelings darling

if you want to try something, when you do that hands on hips pose, start exactly like you are posing, but then push your elbows straight forward about 4 inches.
it will feel really strange, but you might look drastically better. also, try to crunch down on the abs abit.
don't mean to offend, you look good, but you may show more than you are if you try this.

Great conditioning,good balanced physique that looks like you should have won your class.
Did you see how the middleweights looked,if so,how do you think you would have placed there?
Sucks about missing the Middles by one lousy pound,but you looked great anyway.
Stay focused and kick ass in August.

Yes there were 7 middles and the top 2 guys i was told i would have CRUSHED.....but believe it or not the guy that won my class won the damn overall! wtf.... ::)
-
up the dosage
-
I have been judging for a while now and I would have placed u 2nd behind the black guy from those couple of shots.
-
congrats, you re homosexual. Have a nice day.
Congrats....you are still a huge douche...yet are a tiny tit....the ultimate GetBig dichotomy
-

jude thats what about 15 other longtime competitors in attendance in the audience told me as well after i sat down and watched the last few classes...i had over a dozen people walk up and shake my hand and say things like "i dont know what in the F they were looking at" etc....still doesnt help but its nice to have some positive feedback. Just keep going through the motions...i am gonna change my cutting protein source from Talapia to Orange Roughy, thats about it...same macros, etc....
-
#2 & 3 are prob "friends" with the judges, while you are... a getbigger, telling it like it is ;D

I think hazbin means something like how Paris used to hit that pose. Especially, in the second example below. Good luck going forward!
yup, it feels weird, and looks funny from the side, but seems to bring things out alot more from straight on
-
Maybe switch to breast-stroke next time
-
Was this the Battle at the River show in Chattanooga?
-
great delts and triceps man
-
AKERS, DAMN impressive for a 4th place finisher. Stay with it.
Good attitude also.

Yup definitely a BS call, second sounds about right but you were not far from the first guy either, good attitude though. Even tougher to handle after a 3 year lay off, but you would be dumb to quit now cause the pics don't lie.

X2
Although only guy that appears to look like a threat is in the red trunks, he has size in upper body, but your conditioning and lower body are superior
Dubious judging
-
thanx, i knew i was going to get last place so i got in between those two (first and second place in the superheavies) at the weigh ins. that way i would at least get compared to them at some point ;D

Looking great as always............how the fuck you got robbed so many times is beyond me. :(

You had the best flowing physique from that pic, looked great
Guy on your right had huge wheels
-
first off, looking good there.def the best in that group, ok the black guy might have better back, but nowhere your conditioning.
and now, what was your natural cycle for the show?
sharing is caring ;D
lets put it this way it was MILD
m,w,f 50mg t ace-50mg prop
50mg winni starting at 8 weeks out ED, at 4 weeks out 100mg a day
20mg a day halo starting at 14 days out
40mcg clen at 12 weeks out ED, 2 weeks on 2 weeks OFF cycled
arimidex eod starting at 8 weeks out
dropped all oils at 7 days out
diazide 1/2 tab, thur morn, thur night, fri morn and fri night...never dropped water out...drank all the way up to pre judge
Pretty low doses...but I know i dont have genetics to be a monster so why use a lot a stuff?
-
AKERS, DAMN impressive for a 4th place finisher. Stay with it.
Good attitude also.
I will, i appreciate it. This was the battle at the river in Chattanooga btw
-
thanks, , i find it intersting, youve had the best conditioning there without gh.
btw, what you mean you dropped all oils? ???
oh and thats quite the dose for winstrol, do you feel its worth it?
Yes absolutely....the winni has always helped dry me out. this was the first time i used 100mg a day and was worried it was effect my cardio (joints) but it didnt. I will NEVER use GH and Slin...STUPID, STUPID....i dont plan on doing a national show..this is a hobby to me so why spend that kinda money? My diet and cardio is how i get lean.
Yes i always drop oils at a week out...2 reasons
Bad pin and you cant flex that muscle well...so just in case
Also i dont care what ANYBODY says you will hold some water with oils in your system...so thats why i drop them. the halo and winni kept me full and grainy so why keep running them ?? ;)
-
impressive build bro, keep up the great work
-
aha, by oil you mean long esters, i thought you maybe meant synthol,haha(which is retarded to use imo).
yes, i sgree, its best to drop out the long esters some 2-3 weeks out.
smart choice on the gh and slin, i see it the same way.
what diet did you go with btw?
Pretty much this:
8 egg whites 2 pcs of ezekiel bread
10 ouces talapia, 2 pcs of ezekiel bread, cup of broccoli
10 ounces talapia, 2 pcs of ezekiel bread, asparagus, 15 almonds
10 ounces talapia 2 pcs of ezekiel bread, asparagus, 2 tbs flax oil
8 ounces tuna, salad, flax oil
8 egg whites, flax oil or natty pb
My LOW carb days which was only 2 (tues and wed) i dropped 1 pc of ezekeil breade with each meal
also this was 8 weeks out in, from 14 to 8 weeks i just had 1 cup oatmeal with brown sugar splenda and a pc of fruit with 2 meals...
I also use about every single Mrs. Dash low sodium seasoning on the planet and it just varies on each egg white and each fish meal ;D
-
mrs dash is great stuff
-
You are a tiny tit, probably loaded on gear as well.

You look great. Good job.

Well I had an interesting call with one of the judges today....his response when he figured out which one I was : "we thought your conditioning was good, but.honestly you were too lean" too lean?!! Ar you freaking kidding me....wtf kind of excuse is that, tell me the winner was uour brother in law or something....
-
Sounds like he's a fat guy ;D
"too lean" sounds weird. How knowledgeable was that judge? Maybe he meant you need to add more mass on your frame.

did he mean too lean ,'less full muscle wise for the class?not thick enough ?leg wise i remember your leg pics a while ago close up they looked awesome top to bottom ,seperation,sweep props there,,stage shots here do them no justice.good luck and middles u should do great.

you will not hold water with tren....if anything, it helps dry you out.
I can't believe the head judge called a hands on hip most muscular....I have never seen that at a show, ever.
that being said, you totally got fucked. the guy who won looks like dogshit from the back. seriously, the black guy is the only one on that stage who looks better than you.
-
Yeah.....i.had ya first...but its hard to go off pics!
-
Too lean? ???
Just goes to show you that if you had a huge gut you probably would have won.......a few torn bodyparts would definately help also! :-\
-
Weighed,197 today I love the rebound..time to regroup mon and just see how I do in 6 week....i was confident I had 2nd behind the black guy ans would have been ok with that, would have qualified..

Uh, yeah ... ::) What the fuck does "too lean" mean?
You should've been at least second to the black guy and I think you beat him. Fucking horseshit result >:(
-
Too lean, that judge should get canned IMMEDIATELY, too lean, fuckman
-
too lean, that means you didnt have the gut ;D
Just like that fattard behind the table
-
well well they posted the pics from backstage....here are some comparison shots of myself and the OVERALL winner of my class and btw he won the WHOLE f-in show...

Yes after seeing the rear shots I am not quite as up set about being paced behind hom. Judges wrre prolly like "well do we like the guy with legs or the guy with a better back?" BUT.keep in mind thrre were 2guys inbetween us....oh well

think about how well you will compare when you make weight and are the heaviest guy in your class, not the lightest.

I hear you on that...16 week prep and then not to be looked at, yeah its annoying, but just keep working...
-
you beat the class on conditioning, when you turned around you had them all beat in conditioning. you lost from the front (size). now if it were me id say it was your class to win. they gave the guy in the red trunks the win because he had you from the front on size and symetrry, but he lost to you in conditioning from the rear.
but hey they say competitors are the worst judges. i say thats bulshit
congrats on your showing, regaurdless of your placing, you were in shape and looked good.
