that was my first time at the nationals. the guy that won was a freak. 248 ripped. second place was a fellow that had won his class over the years as a lightweight, middleweight and lightheavyweight and looked great his first time in heavys. third place was a fat out of shape dude. i got sixth.
Politics Of Peace
I got beat at a show in Syracuse put on by IFBB Pro Jeremy Freeman....I placed top 5 in my class. but one guy that placed ahead of me was like 7 years out from being in condition for the show and had on a veritable ton of baby oil.
I have the DVD from the show and for me, I looked great.
Two weeks later I was in Rochester competing, and I placed third in my class and the slob that beat me in Syracuse didn`t even place.
After the show he comes up to me and says congrats bro now are placings are 1to1.....he looked terrible,and I never did Freemans show again though I had done it twice, because I later found out the the glazed donut looking guy was a trainer there and had trained there for years.
No way can I compare notes with you Rik,just pointing out the role politics play in this game.
As Bob Chick would say....."Sometimes you get the elevator......sometimes you get the shaft".
