Mr. Ment1on 12 Weeks Out LOG.

**Carlos_E** · 07-15-2006, 11:58 AM

I'm going over the pictures on graphic muscle. What the hell is up with the photographer?

He has multiple pages (25 & 30 pictures) of the 2 White guys who were called out in th first group but 1 page (12 pictures) for each Black guy when the 2 Black guys were called out 1st and 2nd which usually means they're 1st and 2nd place. They even took a 2nd look at Darrell Hobson, the guy calld out first.

????

This photographer has issues. He did the same thing in middle weight.

By the way. I'm not sure if you heard me. I was down front row 7 yellin' like a fool for you.

the areas you want to bring up, from looking at the callout picks and back to yours: calves, hamstrings, quads. in that order. the upper body will become more dense, which is the only thing you lacked, the shape, size , and symmetrey are all there. but 5'9" is tall. you need the density to place.

great work. your so close to where you need to be. 1 or 2 more years and you should be right where you have to be.

congragulations on putting together a really solid prep period. all the groundwork is set for you to win in the near future. you should feel very proud.

Good call bro your right on the money. I know what I have to do and it might take a few more years but it will be done. Thanks again.

Nice Job man, you look real good, were all proud of ya here, stay focused man, rest up then train hard bro!

**MrMent1on** · 07-16-2006, 01:26 PM

Thanks Bros. All you guys thank you for being there for me and pushing me and helping me out. It was a learning experience. national level is another world, lol. I'm going to rest for about 2 months and get my receptors fresh and hit it again for 10 months to do it all over again. hopefully 10 lbs bigger.

Yes they did. Take a look at some of the guys who placed higher. it doesn't make sense. Taller than him, half the mass and same conditioning.

Thats how it goes, you've been there. But I'm not mad. Just ensure me to come in bigger & better next year. Failure is essential to discovering strength.

That's an admirable outlook bro... I have a show this weekend and hopin I place well.

**C_Bino** · 07-16-2006, 11:23 PM

Hey bro you looked great, you gotta give yourself credit man. But I like your attitude as well, you are gonna come back f*ckin bigger and better for next year, and we will still be here behind you bro.

If I can add any constructive criticism merely to help you out for next year is that your back side got you beat, the glute/ham/calves. Your quads and upper body development are spot on bro.

You know all this anyways, so like I said before just use this as fuel for your workouts for the next year and you will have it. Good showing my friend, again you looked awesome. Your an inspiration to many.

Thats the attitude Bro. Respect.

**Big Broker 1** · 07-17-2006, 09:42 AM

You looked great, keep up the hard work and soon enough you will have 1st place......

You looked fantastic. What was your waist size bout 28? I can't understand why some of those guys placed above ya. You looked awesome and will be 10x better next year. GL in the offseason.
