Steve i was at Tampa and thought you placed higher, you were out classed by Dave Henry and Flex Lewis most definitely from behind as you were soft, as Shawn Ray said you need to keep your waist in check, stop the Milos insulin Diet as your skin is ageing you look old in the face and your getting thicker around the waist, this can be reversed though look at Hide.
You hold your own in single poses but when placed next to the top 3 you were easly beat, in Dallas and Tampa its very evidential, you pose well and can hide these faults.
Now one last thing----- DONT POST ANYMORE POST ABOUT I SHOULD OF PLACED HIGHER, people are behind you but your also starting to piss people off, the show was a month ago, get back to the grind stone and train for 2009 you have started many threads on many different boards MOANING about the same thing.
Being a judge myself you wouldn't of placed top 3 in any of the shows but should of places in top 5 i agree at least in Dallas, Proving Bob Chicks theory right about cross overs, as you placed high in open than 202.
Good luck in 2009 train hard and smart and listen to the people have given you advice.
