what's been going on (yes another rant).

There about 9 members in the gym that I frequent that are going to be doing the largest bb'ing comp in our state (several months off - in May). The owner brought in a former successful competitor to help with contest prep.

I've been trying to drive into these guy's head how important nutrition is - of course nobody listens (except one gal)! What's the main point this "expert" is trying to drive home with everyone? DIET!!

We practiced posing the other night. He singled "me" out to use for demonstrations. Realize that I used to have "no back." Three noted comments he made about me: I had a very "thick" back, great leg separation for being this far out, and good sized arms.

On another note:

I ran into the promotor of this event in the store on Monday. He's a former competitor that competed back in the 80's, when I did.

He mentioned that so-so was still competing (of course he's now Masters class - same as me). So-so used to win LOTS of local competitions and has WON the over-60's nationals! So my class is not a sandbag class by any means.

Thnx bro. That's why I'm trying to get all these "ripped" members to post diets

I've got a very small frame (which can work to my advantage as far as "looking" big) and will be very blessed if I come in at 180# comp weight. Getting "ripped" will be my only saving grace.

Thnx for encouragement bigkiwi!
