Well boys im at 215 still but pretty damned shredded. May be up there next to ya bro. Remember though im only 5'11 so dont push me around.

Sounds like you're looking pretty good bro! Congrats on the progress! You can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Just wait till you step on-stage it feels incredible! I'm at 230 right now. I haven't been strict on my diet because I stayed lean after the show on the 16th. I just don't want to go flat. I obviously have to stay tight with it now cause I'm only ten days out, I'm afraid that with no androgens in my system I am gonna soften up. I will have been clean for 2 weeks by the time the show gets here. I was barely running anything anyway, I guess it's just the mental aspect of it.

Hang in there bro! Try to stay the course as much as possible, but if you need to chill out do it. Nobody knows your body better than you do. We are almost there dog!

Sounds good to me bro! I was more nervous at 3 weeks out from my first show cause I was thinking I wasn't going to be in shape. You won't be nervous after you carb deplete and load and realize that you are ready. Hell, I practically ran on-stage last year. By that point you are ready to do the damn thing. The intense part is the pre-judging, after that it's all decided and you can just relax. You will get much more comfortable after your first round of pre-judgings. It's a big relief to have it done. It's a great learning experience. By the night show you will just be excited to do the damn thing! To me if you don't enjoy that then you shouldn't even be competing. That's the fun part. The hard part is the diet and the dehydration. Stepping on-stage should be the fun part!

Having never done a show before what do you guys normally do after it is all over? I mean the celebrating and all and you head back to the hotel, do you atart eating and drinking water or just go to sleep or what? I have always wondered after all your hard work and dedication is rewarded with a placing and everything, how do you unwind and reward yourself?
