    As of prejudging, I'm 1st in novice and 2nd in open. I started going flat from my diuretic and it took away the veins and cuts in my quads. I'm at home now carb loading like a mofo trying to get it back. So far so good. I can see the veins coming back in. Even if I hold a little water I'm still leaner than the guy who's first in open. So I can fill out a bit and still beat him.

    Yaaaay Carlos. Very proud of one of AR's Own!
    1. Once a cheat always a cheat!
    2. YES, SHE can get pregnant the first time!
    3. NO, PULLING out IS NOT a RELIABLE method of Birth Control. DAMMMMIT..... Wrap that shyte UP!!

    Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

    For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

    What the mind can conceive....the body will achieve!

    It's official, 1st place novice, 2nd place open. I think that is pretty good for my first time out. After I got my trophies I pulled out a big ass key lime pie and sat in the audience with my trophies next to me eating it. After that we went out for fried mahi mahi, shrimp and crawfish. It was so **** good dipping fried crawfish in butter and washing it down with strawberry pink lemonade.

    I had some dude at the show ask if I would be interested in guess posing at a bbding show he is hosting. It seems like a small local thing but if he's paying, hell I'll do it. I also got an offer to do a photo shoot for some photog.

    No, the placing was fine. I took a diuretic and the **** was drawing to much water out of me. Made my quads look soft and flat. I lost all definition. I lost definition, veins and fullness and didn't get it back till well into the night show. By then the placements were set. At the night show I started filling back out to where I should have been. People back stage were joking saying I should be in a higher weight class.

    I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM A FRIEND TO TELL ME I QUALIFIED FOR NATIONALS!!! HE SAID 1st AND 2nd PLACE IN EACH WEIGHT CLASS QUALIFIES!!!

    I am freaking out! Jason called me and said he wants me to do Junior Nationals in June and do Nationals next year because I'm qualified for two years.

    Can someone verify this because I can't believe it!

    That must be how they keep guys competing, its a psychological battle to see if they can ever look like the trophies they get.


    You look(ed) awesome, congrats on your first contest!

    Well, it's verified. I read the rules:

    ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

    Among the first 2 in his/her weight class in an area level Championship designated as a National Qualifier.

    My post contest diet....

    What I've eaten so far today:

    Meal #1 5 whole eggs, 1 1/2 cups of cream of wheat with brown sugar

    Meal # 2 two turkey burgers with 2 cups brown rice and asparagus.

    Meal #3 1 1/2 slices of key lime pie, 3 reeces white chocolate peanut butter cups

    Meal #4 Two turkey burgers, 1 1/2 baked yams

    Meal #5 Stewed, halibut, salmon, tuna steak, shrimp and mussels over brown rice.

    Meal #6 3 reeses white chocolate peanut butter cups, 1 rice cake, 2 kit kat strips

    Meals # 3 & 6 have been the most enjoyable so far today. Maybe I can top them later tonight.

    Hey my diet isn't THAT bad.

    I did a mild diuretic, aldactone, but I had to take a double dose. Then I ran around the outside of the building for 30 mins and took 2 enemas to make weigh in. I dropped 3.25 pounds in 45 mins.

    It ****ed me up for the rest of prejudging, I started going flat. So I spent the 4 hours between prejudging and finals to fill back out. By finals I looked MUCH better.

    A guy I know was supposed to be light heavy and he weighed in a few pounds into heavy. He made himself throw up and did a couple enemas to make light heavy. There were a few of us doing crazy stuff to make our weight classes.
