I was one day out of the Mr. Michigan and with the help of a master's national champion bodybuilder we decided it was a good idea to fat load the day before the show. At noon I eat a steak and looked big, full, vascular and ready to do some serious damage so I thought hey if one steak is good maybe two is better so I had another, another and another eating fat every two hours around the clock. Well around six at night my stomach began to rumble and fat was coming out of my pours and I could taste all the fat in my mouth. I began to vomit all the fat out of my system and being almost 24 hrs dehydrated this was a recipe for disaster. I sipped some pedialight and went to bed knowing there was no way I was going to miss the show. I did 12 hrs of cardio a week and 12 hrs of weights a week for 12 weeks. I was shredded to the bone. I was going to win come hell or high water. Around five in the morning I awoke with major cramping and felt like I was drunk. I fell into the refrigerator landing on the floor in the kitchen trying to get water. Not cool when your wife finds you this way my friends. I called my buddy he told me to drink some more pedialight and have a banana which I did again I felt better so I went back to bed. The next morning I was so dizzy I felt like I was drunk. I began to puke and I knew the show was slipping away. I did all I could but everytime I stood up I began to puke. Finally, I knew it was hospital time. My advice is please don't change anything right before a show. Most of you already know this but even seasoned competitors make the mistake of trying to change it up right before the show. I missed the show I trained a year for and I knew better. I have four overall N.P.C titles and still made a rookie mistake. Blaze me all you guys want I just don't want you to make the same mistake I made because we are really all into this thing together. Keep fighting the good fight and remember less talk more chalk haterzzz..... I am trying to post my pics but they say the files is to large any advice on this? Check me out at www.ironjoeleahy.com thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome to getbig!

I think you'll find it to be a really great place to share stories like this.

ironjoe · « **Reply #2 on:** May 14, 2008, 08:27:40 AM »

Thanks man! Nice to meet you. Ya, I have been on for years now and never posted but I feel its time. I have enjoyed all the craziness to say the least . Missing the Michigan was a huge blow but I feel the need to even remind the seasoned guys that the day before the show is just that another day before the show.... Don't change a thing if you are dialed in...

That sucks! What sucks even more is that I have fat coming out of my pores and I'm not even fat-loading!

Did you see a huge your fellow competitor before your prep?

Little advice....try breaking your shit up into paragraphs....

Nope, I didn't see any of my fellow competitors before the show. I was feeling great on Friday morning and playing my own game. I even went to the mall to buy a gift for my wife. I was walking around and then I met my buddy at Mongolian Bar B Q to eat chicken on the grill plain no oil spices etc... Then for some reason we decided to eat steak instead. I knew I was gonna win my weight class and had a great shot for the overall. I just plain and simple F up'd. I did look even harder after the first steak so I went back two hrs. later and had another. I looked even harder and felt great so I said what the hell and kept with it until I got sick. Looking at the pictures from the Michigan I know in my heart I would have done some serious damage.

jaejonna · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2008, 09:14:35 AM »

If you wanna just go ahead and put this all off on the wifey we probably won't have a problem with it, and many here will probably be quite supportive of the move. Why'd you have to give her a gift the day before your show anyway? She bitch about your oatmeal crumbs on the counter after your second hour of cardio for the day in your 12th week of prep? Like I said, you've born enough of the weight of this situation bro, take a load off.

Welcome to the boards Joe - great physique and good informative website.

Just a question - why have you now decided to make yourself known now? Wouldn't be a coincidence that Squadfather is gone now would it?

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2008, 12:40:46 PM »

live and learn man, nothing you can do now but not let history repeat itself.

Good website. Iron! Keep improving and go for the gold. Thanks for joining up and sharing pertinent info.

ironjoe · « **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2008, 02:41:07 PM »

Oh no! This history won't repeat itself, for sure........ I have been on Get Big for a long time just felt the need to stay in the shadows I guess. I'm really not a big talker but I do love the sport more than anything. I guess reading the posts was enough for me for a long time and then when this happened I though to myself I don't want this to happen to anyone else so what the hell I threw it up on the board. Oops no pun intended.
