Midwest Ironman

I took second in my class. I thought I should have won my class considering the guy who beat me had a gut and his shape wasn't as pretty. But I guess it rolls like that.

Now time to gain some quality mass and see if I can do the 2007 Jr Nationals.

Thanks Jerry for the help.

Nute, First of all, you put on a lot of mass this year. A LOT., but I will say you did not repeat the conditioning you had in some of your previous show pics. I am no expert at all, but I compared the solo shot of you up-close in your neon trunks to the one you have of you before your first show (in neon trunks again) and just looking at those two pictures shows that you could have come in MUCH tighter. Your conditioning was spot on in the pic you had of your first show. I think if you repeated that conditioning for this one, with all that new size you gained, then it waould have obviously been a whole different story. Good job though man. I know you worked hard, and know what you need to do this year. I am guessing your going to stay leaner this offseason? Good luck and happy gaining

I agree. One thing I've learn is as you get bigger your offseason has to be better. It was different the first time around as my offseason weight was 237lbs compared to this year 282lbs.

So I won't be jamming all the fatty foods during the offseason as I did this year. I'll have my break for a month and then it's back on the diet to grow solid muscle.

My goal is to bring that condition I had at the 2003 ILL or even better and as a superheavyweight.

Well I am sure you can accomplish that. You live and learn and this experience will probably help you tons in your future BB endevors.

I think you are probably right about needing to stay leaner as you get bigger, this would explain why the pros stay pretty ;ean year around (or at least most of them). Good luck!

Shouldnt you and the guy on the left be side by side for comparisons? That guy in the middle shouldnt even be up there!

You look great by the way and congrats!

You're absolutly correct. I have no idea why the judges never put us side by side.

The only thing I can think is they already knew who was first, second and third.

But to me I thought I had him beat and many others through the show thought I did too. Why I'm not compared is confusing to me. We never stood side by side. NEVER!!!

nute- congrats on your show- you did look real good-you really did add some good size over the offseason and if eating junk food along with good food made you gain size like that along with everything else, stick to what works, staying lean may not be right for you, as you do need to add even more size to your frame- as far as the show goes, you looked good, but i personally think you came in second because the dude had better legs than you, his hams are much larger, but I think your conditioning and his were similar- but his legs just outdid yours from the side, thats the only thing I can see why he won over you, other than that you really did look good, and especially with long arms, the front double bi shot looked very good imo and the arms can even get bigger as well as legs- I was not at the show so i cannout say for sure, but this is what i see from the pics- do what works- you are a bodybuilder, and you,like me, have a big frame to put on a lot of muscle so do it.

If your class was the one with the three, then I'd say you looked the part of the winner.

That was my class. What I can't understand ( which was mentioned by Jonny O) was why me and the winner never stood side by side? Why not compare us next to each other?

His hams and claves were better, my shape, hardness and dryness and small waist was better.

I thought I cared the overall better shape and conditioned. I mean he nor I were really ripped but I was harder.

I found out he did the Jr Nationals this past June and placed 14th in the super heavys. Same judges are at the Jr's so I don't know. I hope I see him again. If so I plan on some pay back.

I'm focused on going up six or seven more pounds but better conditioned. I think if my offseason is clean five days a week with weekends eating junk and I do the samethings I did this year as for training, nutrition and gear I should compete in the low 240's.

So I hope we meet again as I owe him one. The most important is I'm starting to look like a bodybuilder and filling out. I just have to bring the condition which I'm not worried because that is just a matter of better offseason eating.

Just say yes to lean ground beef and potatos and no to KFC, lol. The goal is to get as much protain and carbs as I did this year but clean carbs and protain.

Weekends eat what I want. I have a top level National level guy who I will be working with. He's very cool and a soon to be pro. He's hooking me up with a good price so look out you guys will see some great offseason improvements.

Yeah you're right. Any way what's important is the advice you gave me. That is what I'm focused on. What ever the hell you said worked. You said about eating steak and no water.

My wife and I were looking at the pictures we took and at I had some of me during the night show. I was so much tighter. DAMN MAN. You were right on the money. My wife said "its good you listened to him."

It's like you had a crystal ball or something. You should think about nutrition becuz what you told me worked in a matter of hours.

Guys Jerry knows his s***t. Gave me advice and it worked to "T." I didn't really notice but when my wife and I were viewing the pictures my jaw him the floor. I was so much tighter EVERY WHERE TOO.

Thanks again bro. You looked out for a brotha.
