Josh took 2nd in the heavies. He was slightly more complete and the other guy was slightly more conditioned. Plus I felt Josh needed to be more dark. It was a matter of opinion on that one.

AWN took 5th in the open LHW and looked better than ever.

LHW took the overall with great conditioning. I thought the show was going to the SHW but conditioning ruled the day. Long ass show like all Az shows.

Thanks

If he was leaner he would have won then? When I saw the pics of him a few days ago I thought to myself, IF he was just a bit leaner.......harder, dryer. I thought his tan looked a bit off......maybe more coats earlier on.

Anybody have a link to the placings, looking to see where a friend of mine placed(Mikey Kumelski). He was planning on coming in as a middleweight I believe.

Congrats man...you earned it. I knew you were going to take the class as you had the hardest, driest legs as well as just overall fantastic conditioning. It was great to meet you and good luck in Vegas this week.

Yeah man...in hindsight that was pretty funny and couple the fact with me being dehydrated and deaf I'm surprised I didn't turn you into an oil well! Dude...yeah man....good stuff and I'm retarded..haha! To translate what happened...I'm helping him with his oil and he's telling me he's got enough on and I'm like "what? more? okay....shhhhhshhhhh." I coat the poor guy like I'm greasing a cookie sheet or something! I'm like "Oh fuuuuuck....you said that's enough?" These are the good times of being depleted and brain dead. We will meet up again for sure! Good luck again in Vegas. Come in dry and hard again and who knows what will happen!

I can't comment on the tan because I had no control over that but his tan appeared to look ok at least to me. *shrug*

As far as his condition, though, we made HUGE strides in the last 4 weeks after just getting to work with Josh shortly before the show prior to the AZ. His body was beat to shit and he needed big changes in his training frequency, cardio and diet. Hell, we had to take a complete week off after the last show before even being able to consider making any dramatic changes to his physique prior to the AZ.

Josh and I are going to be working together this off season and then for his shows next year. After the changes we made in such a short amount of time for this show, I am looking forward to a completely different package next year after being able to work with him for his entire prep.

You did your best, he did his best.........everyone is beat up from dieting........everyone goes through bullshit getting ready for a show.....he just was not tight nor lean enough in the pics he put up days prior to his show................and it ruins things when guys say things like ," you are shredded" ......or " you got this one" ......the truth was IF I said, Josh, you are not lean enough, get leaner........it would have upset him ,worried him, pissed him off........but the truth was he has not lean enough in the pics I SAW. He has great shape and if you can get his back wider, bigger arms, chest, quads..........he will be a top level BBer.

Really proud of my boy AWN, did 2 shows this year, school, worked.... this kid works his butt off day in and day out and all while having a great positive attitude and drive. Class act..... and you improved. I hope that you have a very productive off-season and see what the future lies ahead... you have made great improvements. Congrats!:headbang:
