OK guys here are some pics of my first contest. It was June 25th. I won my novice weight class which was light heavy and the overall novice. I took 4th in the open. I was no where near where I wanted to be as far as conditioning due to illness the weeks prior to the show. My lower GI shut down on me ugh.... a long story. Flame away I want to hear what was lagging so I can win the open next year, might not be possible but I want to give it a try anyway. I weighed in at 196lbs at 5'8.
