Semi-successful outing to the Atlantic States Championships...

Flex2019 · Jun 6, 2010

Well, I made my return to the stage for the first time since I was a teenager yesterday. Took 2nd place in the novice middleweights and 10th (I think) in the open middleweights at the Atlantic States in NYC. Given the size and level of the competition, I am pretty satisfied. Things can only get better from here. I'm going to compete in my state show next weekend, then it's time to start pushing hard to progress to the next level. I'll post some pics from the comp when I get some (for some reason the Muscular Development website has pics of just about everyone but me). A huge thank you to everybody here who supported me during my prep.

Just found out that the only guy that beat me in the novice middles took second (nine spots above me) in the open middles. Why the hell would somebody like that be in the novice class to begin with? And I found it a little crazy to hear "novice" competitors talk to me about how much GH they are running...big show I guess lol.

Thanks Chris...after getting another taste of competition, I don't know why I ever stopped to begin with. I look at this as a new beginning, and I'm excited to move ahead. As for my state show, it's the Connecticut Championships. It's typically a very small show, and it's nearby so I figure I might as well go and get some more stage experience. A couple of guys from my gym are competing as well, so it should be fun.
