I'm Not Sure Is He Posted Them, But Carlos E Big Show Is This Weekend.wish Him Luck!!

**Carlos_E** · 11-13-2004, 02:29 PM

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.

**fitnessNY** · 11-13-2004, 03:37 PM

Good job bro -- I knew you would kick @ss after seeing your pics. Keep it up!

**63190** · 11-13-2004, 05:07 PM

Good luck Carlos, best of luck! You look awesome.

**decadbal** · 11-13-2004, 05:10 PM

goodluck bro, should be gettin close to judging...keep us posted

**Carlos_E** · 11-14-2004, 12:50 AM

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.

**mass junkie** · 11-14-2004, 12:52 AM

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.

**sin** · 11-14-2004, 09:57 AM

congrats carlos, your pics look awesome.

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!

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.
