Just trying to rest between pre judging n ...

Just laying around after prejudging. Damn today has been tough. The middleweight class that I'm competing in has 16 competitors. As they're filing us on stage I was just thinking that "damn this is going to hurt afterwards". So after a few quater turns with all 16, they make the top five call. Which didn't seem to be in a placing order, more of a right to left call. Then they made their moves. I know the judge pretty well and she enjoys plaing with your head a bit. The first move was to move me to the center. Then they move another next to me, then they move Hutch next to me. We hit some mandatories then they placed the top five in the back and brought out the rest. After moving them here and there, they place them back to the full line up. They do another final call out. I got the first call for that, then the guy that they had kept next to me the whole time. It is going to be very close. Although I have overall better conditioning, symetry and leg development and seperation. He is just jacked upstairs. Big upper body and great blocky abs. It could go either way. I don't know. I will just try to come in tighter tonight and see what the judges think. I can only hold my head high and go in confidant. The whole show has some real standouts. Troy Alves' training partner seems to be a lock as the heavy champ. He looks really good. There is a couple of lightheavies that are really solid. It should turn out to be an intense evening. Wish me Luck. Rob Roy :st:r-wars

Thanks, MM. The last couple of weeks and days are such a head trip, but the final hours is when you beat yourself up the most mentally. My mind and body need a couple of days of R and R. Will post results tonight. RR

He's not quit as symetrical as Rob either IMO. I talked to all 3 afterwards and they all deserve a pat on the back. Great showing in the middles for sure! Troy's trianing partner will be in contension(sp) for the overall. Man this is the same guy who won the overall in the natty show last year and says he's a vegaterian. He put on a TON of size from his last show. guess training with Alves paid off. There is a light heavy who has HUGE hammies named frank who does EVERY SHOW! He will most likely win the lt heavies, but just like he does every year, he's too damn blocky! I knwo AWN loves his physique! LOL! Great job Rob and Hutch!

I did end up in second to Scott Turner with Hutch coming in third. Hutch made some big improvements from the previous week. Not to go unnoticed. Frank won the light heavies and AJ did end up on top in the heavies. Scott Turner ended up taking the overall. So I can't feel so bad about the runner up spot. I was in the same changing room with Frank and Aj. Pretty much all day. Those guys are cool dudes. The whole day Aj was eating Tofu. I thought it was a bit strange but now that you mention the vegan thing. If he has put on that much size in such a small period of time eating tofu. Watch out ! He'll be hard to beat soon. Those two are actually training partners and they work out at the same Worlds as Troy.
