Mike and Laura good job at the show, competition looked deep. But IMO it's better to be up against a bunch of good competitors then be at a show with only a few marginal people and get a false sense of where you are at. Pizza for me too after a show!! But some Dunkin Doughnuts and coffee would also be mighty tasty.
Well now the show is over and you have had a chance to reflect I see you have established some goals of putting on a substantial amount of size for next show. What's the plan?
good job Mike and Laura, keep up the hard work
honest assessment: Given Mike's advance age and genetic structure I don't see him "putting on substantial size for his next show" or even the near future. He might be better trying to make what gains he can in his legs and back and try to come in ripped to shreds.
To me Laura has the world of potential, she has good genetics to do what ever she wants. From the pics that I saw she had the best abs and her structure is pleasing. As someone else pointed out she just needs to dial in her legs.
Good luck to both of you.
