Bloody fucking hell - couple of damn things before I go...

Took 2nd in LH's and of course the guy who won took the Overall as well - wtf - two shows in a row....

EVERYONE said it could have gone either way but once again I wasn't "dry" enough - finally got close to being as lean/cut as I wanted (and had the best symetry again etc etc) but I just can NOT dry out like I want to......

Weighed in at 199 Friday and went to a nearby sauna and fried myself until I came in at 198.2 (just under 198.25) - no worries until I found I could have easily taken the fucking heavy class and spent the day today drying out some more hoping for a shot to take out the LH guy (as they didn't compare us again in that class tonight)....

All in all - I AM TIRED - I am tired of taking second and I am tired of not looking the way I want to look - I'm tired of dieting and I'm tired of ProTan (I could claw my arm off right now) - I'm tired of not going out with friends or being mad at people around me 24/7 etc - I'm tired of posting "wish me luck" threads and then not being able to hold up my end of the deal for y'all....

In other words I'm gonna take an entire season off (two calendar years) and see if I can't figure out wtf I'm doing wrong - I know it takes time but damn if I can't get dry like some of these guys - my diet is solid and I'm strict as hell with myself - I never waver from my plan - I guess my plan's just messed up beyond repair at this point - gonna head to the beach tomorrow and take next weekend to do the same - then it's my birthday and I'm going skydiving etc so maybe in a few weeks I will have my mind straight again and I can focus on fixing my shit - I've already got my diet/cycles planned out for the next 20 months so hopefully I can stay focused - just really really wanted to qualify for a National show this season - guess my 5 year plan has now become a 6 year plan :mad:

Anyways - thanks for all of the help/support everyone and I'm sorry I just bitched up a storm but I needed it so thanks for listening - peace out :hang:....

Damn dude, don't be so hard on yourself. First of all you impress the hell out of me and I'm sure many others by just committing your self. I could never have the dedication to do that. It also sounds like you are losing the political battle not the bodybuilding battle. I'm sure as you get your name out there more that will balance itself out a bit more. Take the time to eat, get some good rest and then re-evaluate the situation. Take care bro.

[blm]

I agreee with Shibby. You won the biggest battle imo by completely dedicating your life and lifestyle to preparing for your shows. If everybody came in first everytime they competed...there wouldn't be any 'competiton' or reason to push yourself any harder. Take some time to yourself, eat food you enjoy, have some drinks and relax then make a decison of what you want to do. You have too much emotion involved right now and we all know that's the worst time to make any major decisions on anything.

Congrats on your accomplishments. You should be proud of yourself.


You'll be alright lil fella ;)

I agree with the other guys bro. You are being way too hard on yourself. Unfortunatelly there is so much politics in amateur BB it is just sad. At my last show guy who won my weight calss was only in one call out. How can a guy win a show by being in only one call out? Who did the judges compare him to? I don't know. but when they called his name as the winner everyone was shocked.
You did awesome bro,now go out and party. :bravonew: :dancingne
