Thats a big show, we were not expecting you to win!!! Just do your best, then you are a winner!! You told us that this is not your life anyway, so who cares.

 

[balplayer]

[Good Shape]

awww

someone's got a case of "mundays" (office space) Dude...don't be so thin skinned. You look awesome.

 

[PHIL HERNON]

Yea!

You looked awesome! BTW, where are the pics?

 

[balplayer]

Please take my comments as constructive criticism as you can come into a contest much better than me.

Phil's comments were far from derogatory - you must still be low on carbs and high on test

I REALLY don't understand how anyone can go into a contest without giving 100% of themselves?!?! What is the expectation - nobody else will show up in shape and you'll win by default? Most guys I know that compete will back out if they're not 100%.

It would seem that if you're gonna do what it takes to get contest ready, you'd want to hit every contest you enter at 100% - not; "well this contest is just a primer."

[Vander_V]

You looked good but like you said the AZ is what you were after so im sure your gonna dial it in real nice.

CONGRATS TO YOU AND YOUR SOON TO BE WIFE.

 

[balplayer]

thanks vander. yes i proposed. im very happy and ready to continue living a nice life. the pics are of the night show. id really like to see the prejudjing pics when they finally get up. this show i didnt drop all water or salt. i wanted to stay fuller and just see what happened. i will tighten things up and i know comming into the az exactly how im gonna do it by how i practiced on the carb up timing and such. ill see you on the 10th bud

 

[PHIL HERNON]

From the pics

It is fat you need to lose, not water. Drop about 7 more pounds of fat which takes weeks or months to do. That will bring you in at top of middles and leaner. Believing that it is water or salt will just stop you from getting lean because in reality, you wont change much next show unless you drop your carbs completely.

I'm glad that you're reinforcing this Phil.

I was talking with the class winner at my last contest. He was EXTREMELY ripped and only competes when he can get into that condition. I asked him about shedding water. He said that it's almost always an issue of fat (didn't lose enough), not water - people just put the blame on water.

BUT Balplaya doesnt have weeks or months

PHIL The AZ show is july 10th ??? do you think hell be ok?

 

[joshbarnett]

you can do a lot in a few weeks. i have seen a guy compete at 226 and then 2 weeks later weighed in at 214 ripped. he then went on to place 6th as a heavy at jr nationals
