I take back my views on carb ups

[The_Leafy_Bug]

Here is a picture i took at my show to test my tan and here is a pic i took 2 days later jumping from 146 to 166 after eating junk food. By the time i clean out my fridge i will probably be 180. I got calipered at 5% but realistically im more like 7 here and at the show i was probably 4-5% as my glutes weren't crisp.

[pumpher]

Looking lean LB,

Never said it didn't move. Calipers aren't accurate but its mostly water.

nahhh i got 2nd out of 2 people. I can't really say anything either because the judges were the same people who judge ronnie and all the other top tier pros at the olympia. I can't really make a judgment till i get the video back.

LOOKIN GOOD LEAFY BUG KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[whateva]

good job ,Leafy , did you cut water? how much did you weight the day before the show?

[marcus]

Look great.

[efirkey]

It must suck to bust your ass off for a competition and when you get there only two competitors are in your class.

Im not sure because the scales were so different. They said 150 here at home but i was barely expecting to make the weight class so on the drive down to Little Rock i didn't eat or drink anything all day except a few cookies and i weighed in at 146 so i instantly starting bingining on everything i could to get my weight up. I was probabaly 155-160 during the show though. I was by far leaner then the guy and had multiple people tell me i had it hands down but i guess they went with mass. I was even confident i had it. I had some striations in my glutes although they weren't crisp. The show was a real eye opener. It was almost like a weird dream back stage. I saw Gunter in person and many other site. When Gunter came in he had an aura around him and everyone got quiet. You cannot appreciate the size of these guys until you see them in person. Those of you who think 170 pounds is small.... hahahah you better guess again. These guys were huge. 170 pounds lean is actually really big and i now have more of an appreciation for it. When i went out on stage i wasn't nervous at all. All i remember was the bright stage lights and the black audience and not being able to see anything. It was one of the best experiences of my life and i plan on doing it again next year hopefully as a middle weight.

Looking shredded!

I dug your wierd recipie for egg white spinich wraps!

Yeah it did kind of suck but i would rather have it be one other person then go in unopposed. I could have entered the mens light weight open and won it but only because no one was in it but that would just be stupid. It is all about having fun. I don't even feel like i lost because i think i was leaner and i was the best that i could bring and that to me is a success. Time will tell though when i recieve the dvd in the mail. I might post the prejudging on youtube if im not embarrassed by it.

You did AWESOME, good for you.  Things will only get better from here.  

When you say you take back your views on carb ups, does that mean that you now believe carbing up is effective?

To be honest im not so sure.... I think its good to get a whole bunch of sugar prior to stepping on stage like honey or jam because it helps with vascularity and gives you a sugar high which helps you preform but i don't think any of the carbing up helped me for the actual show. I think carbing up is a slow and long process for me that takes days.

Wow you look awesome plain and simple. Shows how hard you work. Decent
