The judges were split right down the middle on the whole thing, funny thing is I lost the last one because I was way leaner, but he had me in size, this time, the opposite....
I have decided though, not to do the next show. He will actually be there, and I could come in tighter, and own his ass, but after thinking about all this since yesterday, i realized right now its not worth it. I sacrificed too much, at a time when it was wrong to do it(ie put a ton of cash into it, at a time when my family was hurting for cash), took time away from my family when I shouldnt. I just realized on friday that my son went from single words, to sentences in the past week or so, but missed it because I was too busy with this. Not to mention I got a new job in my field a few weeks ago that I love, and its suffered already because of this, i cant take chances with that. And hell, just by cancelling the next show, I put over $1000 back in my pocket, from lost wages, hotel room, and all the other stuff that had to go in it. My family needs that grand more than a plastic trophy right now anyway

Kudos to you, my friend! In my eyes you're even more impressive now than you were before. A very WISE decision. Kids grow up very fast and our opportunity to have a positive impact on their lives is fleeting at best.

I also do not spend as much time with my family as I would like to. However, in my case it's because I work pretty much seven days a week for long periods of time. . .the sacrifice I made so my wife could quit her 80K-a-year job to stay home with the kids. . .best decision we ever made but, I sometimes wish I could spend a little more time with my family.

Well bro I'm not biased cause I haven't really talked to you but I really though you beat him from the pics! I am no judge or expert but if I would have picked a winner it would have been you. Your quads & hamstrings blew him away, better abs, chest, and back. Awesome job!!!

thanks everyone
I didnt think anyone would really understand my decision to not do the second one, especially since if I came in a bit harder, I could beat the same guy at that show for some redemption... But so many things hit me at once when I got some last night, it was crazy. But today I actually am happy, and relaxed which I havent been in months, and for weeks havent been able to sleep, even with presciption sleeping pills, last night I just fell asleep feeling good

After rereading the other post I get it. From knowing you not suprised you would put your family first just the kinda guy you are. Also with the new job it is smart and next season is just around the corner. Do a level 3 that is closer so I can go watch

As a competitor I understand you not competing. Hey as long as you are alright with your decision then it's all good. Family comes first and if you compete next year your improvements will be greater next year than they will be in two weeks. Eat, sleep, have fun with your family you deserve it.
