back from arnold amateur!!

[joshbarnett]

i just got back tonight from columbus and ended up placing 4th in the superheavy class. it went very well and i did pretty good for weighing in at 227 and the other 3 guys ahead of me were at least 20lbs heavier. i was very happy to just make the top 5 and move on to the finals on the main stage in the convention center. i wanted to thank DC for all the help this off season and up to the show. and also a big thanks to wylde for his precontest expertise- i couldnt have done it without you !! WYLDE- btw, i am gonna do the northern kentucky march 24 so i am eating tonight and little tomorrow then its back to the grind for a few more weeks. the LH won the overall but i really thought it should have been the heavy or superheavy to win it all but the LH did look good and he was from columbus and trained at world gym too (hmmmmm...politics haha j/k) lol

[CSWOLE]

Impressive

Hey bro.....I saw u, at the Arnold. I thought that name rang a bell. But to be honest I would have placed you in 3rd not 4th. The dude who was ahead of you had a distended gut..but what ever...I'm not a judge so my vote doesn't count.....and just to let u know.....there were people in the crowd at least a good 8-10 standing around me who were saying the same thing.....Good job bro...keep up the good work...

cswole-thanks for the comment. i was hoping to crack the top 3 after i made the finals but i cant complain. those guys are big as hell!! i talked to wylde tonight and we are not going to worry about being a super at the northern kentucky and just come in the best possble condition and if i am a super or heavy i dont care but i will be one of the best conditioned guys at the show....thats the goal. time to go back to work after a little junk this weekend.lol

Josh...you know that the NKY always puts heavy emphasis on conditioning. So come in as hard and dry as you can without going flat.
