i honestly can't remember the guy in second. People there (who didn't know me) felt my condition was a little better and that I would have probably placed 2nd with better posing. The guy in first looked great and there's no stretch of the imaginagion that would have me placing better than him. It was my first show and a great learning experience.
I really can't see what the big deal is, plenty of people compete.
Sorry, When you asked I thought it was another joke. I didn't think you actually wanted pics and I don't have any. The pics posted here were from the hallway waiting for the afternoon part after pre-judging. I'd never seen the pics you posted until today. I have no reason to lie and a lot of people saw the other pics. The other pics were done from the website but may be on the old office computer my kids have now.
Funny to see a much skinnier me from a while back. I was so goddamn hungry and dehydrated it was fucking crazy. Had beer and cannolis after, LOL! Was sick for weeks following that show and really didn't feel healthy at all. I'll probably do it again later this year but won't go 24 hrs without water again or apeshit with dieting. Never believed it when guys wrote here about being really weak leading up to shows and so on until then.
Sucks that I can't get cannolis here, but we have heineken.

Thank you for the pics and memories, gimmic.
