Lori, thanks for stopping by!
DavidPaul, here's the math one more time: ON JUICE: 209 on stage
NO JUICE - 198 with 9 days to go, meaning I will probably be 195 on stage. 209-195= 16 pounds, twice the 8 pounds you just mentioned. And do I think it's fair for a former juicer of 8 years (with a nearly 2-year break in there at one point) to compete against lifetime natties? NO! That's why I am doing a show (NPC) where the stipulation is that you be clean for at least ONE YEAR - which I am, plus another 6 months. There are other orgs that ask you to be 5 yrs drug-free, 7 yrs, or lifetime. So if someone does not want to go up against a guy or girl that used gear as recently maybe as a year or two ago, they should stay away from these one-year clean shows and orgs.
