Mr.America T-Muslce Prejudinging

Mr.Huge · Oct 26, 2004

I believe these are from prejudging. All I have from him right now hopefully some more soon. Looks like he was still holding some water from the pics probably could have came in a bit dryer and harder however, he still looked great and did his best! Came in 3rd place as Lats mentioned previously in another post. He's still a winner in my book! Shit anyone who goes through what bodybuilders do both mentally and physically when preparing for a show is still first rate in my book whether they take the show or not. Great job T-Muscle!

bro i was reading few of your posts and i see you did have some injuries,i do know how you feel,i had a lot this year too,i couldnt lift for 7 months i torn bouth my knees and that wast very nice,now i am in the 4 th month of training and thanks GOD come back good,but still i dont have a lot of size i did had a year ago,but i do know you pain,i know where you comeing from,my head dow for you bro,i give you all props just for doing that.
like last year i got sick 5 days to the show i was 243 ready go on the stage,and end up with 105 fever for 2 days,but still did the show but i was flat no pump and still sick,and i lost just about 20 lb,and after that all thouse problem with knees,shoulder,i hope i'll be fine this year,so far so good,but you the man just for not quiting.

T-MUSCLE · Oct 26, 2004

yes and no

jerrywear yes, i did have the one syatic nerve was pinch in low back ,funny did not affect back it was all leg pain..but i have been very blessed in that 23 yearrs of this with no injuries at all ,( knock on wood) and since now it is almost gone .or it was till sat flexing my legs irritated it a bit i can feel it today a little ..but on stage that was not even a factor ,it was the water i dont think was going to be right after that last month my body was just not right .
injuries are part of the game , working thru them seperates the boy's
from the Iron warrior's ..lol

People keep asking me if im gonna win bla bla bla fuck its not up to the athelete you never know what the judges are looking for on that particular day when i enter a show i enter to bring my best not to expect to win anything , its not about fucking winning its about having fun and looking your best , Tom you did exceptionally well for what you went through and guys i know what he was going through and its not fun at all , it pinches all the way down your leg making every little thing you do very uncomfortable im actually very surprised he continued and did so well , when i extended my L-4 disc i was unable to take a good shit LOL no joke i was in hell

Tom I just wanna say honestly you are a true warrior and a winner no matter what bro.

brachialis · Oct 26, 2004

T... You look amazing bro! No doubt you'll only get better and better! Again, you're an inspiration! Working not only through the sludge of prep, but doing it with an injury. There are few that have no injuries...

You're right on as well...any time your body comes under trauma it's going to protect itself and water is one way of doing so. Even STRESS can cause this!

So, how was the post contest MEAL(S)?

Thanks for being a "real" humble person

T-MUSCLE · Oct 26, 2004

i cant seem to empty my PM box !!!! thanx for the kind words everyone
i will be making my plans as far as training and meals soon and post ,this is a new year and need to stay proactive with training thats why dieting down is helpful its when u see are your weak parts and you must adjust training to stmulate those exact area's ,meals also must be approched proactively meaning up dated ok for me stoping insulin did cut my waist by maybe as much as 1and 1/2 small waist this year , that was my best accoplishment
this last year and so that must stay down but my back and legs are always going to need some more meat ..i will discuse with Phil , but my offseason are always produtive i hope they continue to be

Sigmund Roid · Oct 26, 2004

T-muscle, nice work!

Congratulations on your final look. You did well.

TooPowerful4u · Oct 27, 2004

Damn bro, sorry to hear those injuries cuased u to hold a ton of water. Thats the worst thing to happen to a BB when u go through the entire prep n something happens last minute. Your still a winner and you will hit it on the head next time. Just learn from ur mistakes and dont make them twice. We know you were much fuller and dryer a few weeks out so you know ur capable of doing it. Since u placed 3rd this time thats not too bad, so next time you know ur coming to win.

luckyone · Oct 27, 2004

you still looked GREAT!!

T - sorry that you didn't take the title, but next year is only 12 short months away. following your progress over the last couple months has shown me what one can accomplish and I know if you had been at your peak you would have been impossible to beat

you're a great inspiration, especially to those of us who are over 40

keep it up and take that title next year

your brother in Christ,

lucky

Your post is almost correct but i just went back and checked his 5 days out pics and he looked fine infact he looked much much better ? what happened in those 5 days that altered his condition ? im confused cause 5 days is nada.

jerrywear · Oct 27, 2004

Vander,5 days its a lot,we could argue about it,i did very first show and in two days of carb load,wated came out from everywhere,this is why i am low f.....carbs per day,everyone is diferent,but those last two days,with no carbs and no water and tons of cardio

f...... that wasnt fun,but i did win, that was great

but like i told you everyone is diferent, in this sport you'll never know.

PHIL HERNON · Oct 27, 2004

The problem with pictures and mirror

You look waaaaaaaaaaaay different in the mirror and outside taking pictures than you do on stage with that lighting. You guys need to get beyond shredded to just look lean on stage.T-muscle just did not get down low enough, but next time he will.
