Hello Everyone! I will not dissapear from GetBig or the sport of bodybuilding!
I had a hell of a ride to nationals but made huge errors in the end which resulted in me looking like a mess on stage, I have recovered mentally, will learn a huge lesson and move on and forward.
Let me Explain! Some of my errors please
I made Many key errors.. Here they are When I posted my pics. 2.5 weeks out, I weighed 163lbs. I should have continued to make the adjustments in my diet necessary to walk on stage in 2.5 weeks as a welterweight looking like this.
I had made up my mind at that point I would continue to work my diet along to make it down to 154lbs to compete in a successfull weight class for me in the past, the lightweight class. This was a huge mistake. I struggled hard to make weight. I got down to 153lbs on Thursday by cutting my food out leading up to the show the last days and cut water back so much that I did not know how to properly get my weight back up. This was a big mistake, but I learned.
Key Error #2 I fucked up my tan. Or someone else did. Well, i was the talk of the show! I looked like a black man. I truly did. Actually I was darker than most black guys and it ruined me. The curtain was black behind me and on stage i blended in with the curtain, my face was painted black. I was a wreck. I was not paying attention to who was coloring me and didnt even realize this.....SOunds crazy! Shit, it was the last thing on my fucking mind! My color, i didnt even think of it to be honest.
I got so much shit that one of the judges actually said, he didnt even judge me! he said, other judges too. All they saw on stage was some weird dark colored guy! Unbelivable. I looked like hell. That along with way too much oil
The combination of too much oil, too much color made me look way smooth and couldnt see nothing on me. Unless you were standing up close to me.
Key Error #3 I let the stress get to me. My wife is the one who usually hands this for me, she calms me down, does my color etc. And tells me to eat!
I just kept losing weight it seemed like being alone in my room and in Texas, far from home, it sucked
More stress.. The hotel was gouging the shit out of everyone! $20 dollar per day parking, $160 per day + $25 per day in taxes and no fridge or microwave in the room after calling twice and them saying there was one, this was stressfull! as hell! Plus this hotel just charged the shit out of you for everything, that shouldnt stress me, but the food situation did!
And along with me not getting my weight situation in order. I was screwed. I tried to recover but...shit! It was too late.
