Excellent list there, TheBlockHead.
I think Trey is like many young bodybuilders... they overdo everything. He overdid the bulking because he probably felt as big and strong as a house and had this vision of being 280 onstage and flattening everyone. He realized at 15 weeks that he wasn't going to be able to lose it correctly, but had to do the TX guest posing anyway due to contract. He did it, and knew he wouldn't be ready for this show without major muscle loss, and DNP did what had to be done to fo this show, which was required by contract.
I think he's doing the growing up that many young bodybuilders do, only he has to do it under the pressure of reading magazine articles about himself and seeing thousands of views on message boards about him. That's pressure. Cortisol levels thru the roof, no doubt.
He'll get quiet, and it'll be good for him. Do what Sean Allen did... quietly put his head down and just work his ass off for a year or two, and come back and do the talking with a win. All the hype huge him.
