2004 Mr Michigan..

[LITTLEMAGS]

OK...history first...IN 2004 I had made some plans to hit Jr. Nationals as a lightweight (154pds) BUT needed to re-qualify so I did the Mr. Michigan (a national qualifier) as a middleweight. Jr's was 6 weeks after this show so I thought I would just do this show to stay on track. I didnt drop water for this so I just came in with the mind-set I NEED to peak for Jr's...and NOT this show.
WELL... I won my weight class (middleweights)...I weighed in at 169pds. BUT the following day I went into the gym to just do some cardio and stretch out a little. WELL a terrible pain hit my lower back. I had cracked the sacroiliac joint. BYE-BYE jr's....I later found out it was cracked for awhile and just about to give at any time. Anyways...I lost 9 months of my life with a cane. Iam fully recovered and back at the gym hard as ever...minus heavy squatting. I have just changed my routine...I am going to compete in 2007 so LOOK OUT! I will post more pics down the road...

WELL...here you go.....take it easy on me.

Nuthin but props. Solid, nice presentation, killer hammies, just nothing but quality.

Jr Nats - 7 months. Do you see anything that has suffered from your time off size-wise? Do you have a specific prep in mind and what class do you think you'll compete this time?

Hey dude you look amazing...nice job

one thing I think would add to your aesthetic is if you added a bit more thickness in the lower back/lats. I dunno if that's possible with the weight restriction, but yeah.

once again fantastic job and srry bout the injury

 

[LITTLEMAGS]

SASSY..taking some time off did hinder me slightly. I can tell you one thing...physically it was no where near the mental part of it. I went through a time of HATING that I couldnt get to the gym...then was ok with not going...then went into a stage of where I didnt want to go back...that was the toughest part of it.

crazy Russian-yeah...I do have to work on my lower back area..

thanks for all the props

Good job!

Dude you looked great. I competed last year in the lightweight after a four year layoff...I plan on coming back this year bigger, fuller and harder than ever. I too qualified for nationals back in 2001 but got married instead, that was a waste...now that has wasted a few years of growth and time, I am back in the iron game... Hope to see you back stage... good luck!

[LITTLEMAGS]

Columboweiser? What state were you competing in?

 

[slat1]

Looking good.
Good luck with your back.

 

[LITTLEMAGS]

It is getting better...still "stiff" in the mornings but after stretching it is fine. Thanks for all the support again guys.

 

[glennds]

I agree, ya looked good for jumping onto stage not dry. Hit it hard over the next year and meet me up in Miami 08. I've been watching this board for awhile and agree with iHulk nice to see someone stup up and show it. Only thing on your back pose, pull the trunks up a bit and let the ass hang out to show some glute muscle. Need to see strations in the ass that always attracts the judges. Anyways ya looked good.

You are a really nice size and have nice proportions overall. Nice face, too. I know that has nothing to do with your goals, but, hey, I'm a woman, and I notice these things...lol.
