Just got back.......

[lucian]

whats up guys,
just got back from the show. weighed in at 199.89 on friday so that made me a heavywt.
it was strange i felt a lot bigger, but was dry and hard, so off to the hevies i went.
the show was ok, not too big, only 65 people in the whole thing. i have some pics and will post em. everything went perfect, just as i planned, stayed hard, filled out and stayed veiny.
i feel its my best ever shape. met some of the pros, and they were all nice. dennis wolf was so quiet,darrem was cool to chat w and kai green who was amazingly dry and hard came up to me and told me i look really good. that was a big rush havin those guys around. branch has the sickest legs in person. mags do not do him justice.
so in the end the judges said it was so close but i got edged out on a slight conditioning from the other guy. so 2nd in the heavies. which my goal was top 2 to qualify for nationals. the guy who beat me won the overal so i guess if you gotta loose loose to the best there.
i feel like have a lot of improvements to make and i could have been conditioned better.
i want to thank "team jerry" rich sieglman for making my diet work so well and for his frendship,
my little champ annie78...couldnt have gotten through those hard workouts and cardio woithout you.\, brad hollibaugh for the support and last min advice, and lkg....what can i say, you put up with the most and kept pushing me forward and being there for everything, the ups and downs.
i could not have done it with out you guys.
and lastly for all the pm members who show me support and listen to my rants.
thanks guys now its time to grow a lil and see how we do next year.

i just looke on musculardevelopment.com
i think the judges were being nice, cuz the guy was way harder than me. i was just thicker. they didnt put any pics from the night show so they used the pics from the pittsburgh but the comparisons are from the lhvally prejudging.
also i was standing kinda funny. it looks like all the pics were snapped before i was fully lockes in the pose.oh well, i know what i need to improve and conditioning is my number one priority. i learned how to dial in a little better now and im sure we will learn more next time.

if you look at the comparison photos its the kid w spikey hair.
he is only 23 yr old. he won the juniors as well.
hes good for being so young and he will only get better,
real nice kid too. nothing cocky about him, tufned to me onstage and said good job congradulations. a good sport. he is from philly.

thanks champ,
you know how im feelin, but back to the gym tomorow to harness the post contest rebound, im already eatin my oatmeal and powders again.
i appreciate you drivin up with me.
altough we got lost like 4 times and it took 5.5 hr instead of 3 hr, you did make it as painless as possible.
time to get ready, we have a lot of work to do before the next one.
onward and upward.
lucian

to everyone at pm....NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!

You can also look at it this way:
You are actually out there doing it, that's a lot more than most people can say.
I applaud you.

lucian, I was at the show bro, you looked good, def a tough class. My roommate won the novice overall so he was happy. The kid that beat you beat me by 1 place at the Lehigh in 2005, he has made significant gains since then. IMO, if your conditioning was better you could have edged him out, but you would also made lightheavy and won that class. Congrats tho you def looked awesome!!

 

[1badboy]

You Looked Great!

Congratulations! 2nd to the Overall is not bad at all, and you did what you said you set out to- qualify for Nats.

Just curious, if you had made light heavy, how do you think you would have done?

Caongrats Lucian!! You looked effin GREAT!!
