Hey every one, Yesterday I did my last show for the year, and I got second place. But I am not happy about it not just because of my placing but, combination of bunch of things.
First This was the weakest show I've ever seen or been to. I guess every one is getting ready to do the nationals in Las Vegas next weekend so no body showed up for this show. My weight class only had five guys and one of them got disquaified because he won a novice overal title about a month ago and he was competing novice again and the fourth guy didn't even showed up for the evening show. So in reality when you get the second place from a three guy line up this second place is looking shitier and shitier.
Second I've been dieting exacly for a year ok it's gonna be a year in one week. ( I started my diet last August 1st and this was my third show in one year)I've been killing myself in the gym and I made probably five years of improvements in this past year, but I can't get the show day right. :mad:
My last show before this one was back in April 28th and I spilled over night before and I woke up holding water and yesterday because of the fear of spilling over and holding water I didn't carb up enough and of course this time it back fired and I was flat as a pancake and between diuretic I took and not carbing up enough I was super weak I couldn't do 10 push ups to get a pump and holding the poses was damn near impossible. After the morning show I kept eating and eating it took about 5 hours of almost continous eating to get me feel ok again, and for the evening show I looked halfway decent. After the show I had 12oz of steak, baked patato, french fries some kind of a toasted bread with melted cheese over it, glass of wine and some hot fudge brownies with ice cream and guess what? I woke up this morning hard as fucking nails and full muscle bellies. :mad:
Oh well! it's another lesson learned. I am taking rest of the year off until april and see if I can put on about 7 to 10 lbs of muscle and come in harder.
Oh and sorry guys no pictures I for got my camera at home, my buddy who was there with me doesn't even own a digital camera and my girlfriends camera's batteries died at the moment I got on the stage. I'll see if I can dig up some from on line.
