Congratulations, BT.  And good luck.

Tan didn't help.

A wee bit tighter / drier & fuller
Will be outstanding.

did the old drop the sodium for three days routine, fuck knows why I do it, this week keeping sodium high up until Thursday, cut back and keep the water going in all week until Friday night then stop the water and add in some sodium the morning of the show.

I went out after the show Saturday night and had Chinese food , Sunday morning dry full and 4lbs heavier.
Have been advised its the sodium that keeps you dry and full not the carbs.

Read about the monks who preserve their bodies after dehydrating for days they have a huge amount of salt which pulls all the water from their skin. it kills them, but I will be fine because I wont be dehydrated and wont be overdoing the sodium   


fingers crossed. 

lets see how it pans out this week, Im not getting onstage flat and lacking vascularity , which is what happened last week.

That sounds good - the sodium loading / dropping does work very well.
do you use slow k - potassium?

With those corrections to your physique it will be a dramatic visual improvement.
 
Pm me if you want.

will put things right for Saturday, looks like its going to be a big line up with some real quality competitors, just going to bring my best, hope this new approach works out this week, I cant really do anything more at this point.
I am putting together a (I hope) a very polished routine, last week I winged it and didnt practice it at all and got a lot of good feedback.
My strong point is my posing so really going to give it everything...

regardless of his years young.

You look great in that vid. The other two guys don't have the structure IMO, just look like modern bbers, squatty and stumpy, while you hit every pose better. You didn't look "wet" enough tan-wise, I guess.

[Simple Simon]

this morning....

heres a video of the comparisons

Did either of those guys beat you?  I can't believe it, you've got real shape to your body, the other two look awful.





(keep in mind I know jack shit about how bodybuilding is judged.  i'm just basing this on aesthetics and muscle bellies and whatnot.  the other two look like deformed frogs.  no comparison.)

[Simple Simon]

2/3/1

....that's so fucked.

and no, no bias at all from knowing you.

You've got the best physique on stage.  Other two look like washed up drug addicts while you pumped and full.

I swear to god, the best judges would be a random selection of college chicks picked from a spring break beach and asked to rate you best to worst.

Being a contest judge I would say Be There should of won that,
From a judging perspective they could of been swayed by the apparent
Better condition of the man that they placed 1st - I say apparent because
Of his better colour - Be There's tan let him down as he knows.

Far better structure & shape & flow to Be There - Also it is possible the
Winner was Known to some of the judges - I have refused to judge those
I have got ready & have asked that other judges not judge people that are from
Their gym or have helped.
Often they won't step down.

Like you I know nothing of how these things are judged, but be there looks to have the better physique by far, the other blokes have the "bunch of body parts thrown together" look about them.
Also to echo what has already been said, awesome physique for any age, to just say awesome physique for 50 is a massive understatement.

The guy who won looks remarkably similar to to sock that my dog swallowed whole and shit out, Jeff looks amazing in the front last spread and is light years ahead physique wise
