Competition is so much fun!!!!!

[toopowerful4u]

Im hooked for life. Makes me wanna hit the weights so much harder n get so much bigger. I ended up 2nd in a group of 4. Other 2 were young, so i didnt do anything great. I still had a good time. I was told 2 things that were bad that maybe i can get sum help with for my next show (2 weeks away lol)

1. My color sucked. I was pretty dark base tan, but i only used 2 coats of light pro tan. Maybe some better tips on gettin real dark?

2. I was coulda been more cut. Im around 5-6%bf now. I wanna get as low as i possibly can in 2 weeks for next show. I need a crash diet and program. Anything. Im using a E/c/a stack along with my cardio.

I also didnt notice ANYTHING with the carb and fat loading. I think i looked the same as i did when i started that stuff. I think im gonna just go in regular in the next one. If my pix look decent when i get em in a few days, il think about postin sum lol. Thanx again for all your help guys!!!!!

Didn't we all tell you to use Jan Tana??? :insure:, well that is your answear to # 1.

Nothing short of miracle and hiring me will get you much lower then you are in next 2 weeks without sacraficing lean muscle.

How lean were you , if you do not post the pictures e-mail me one or two so i can give you my opinion and feed back...and for my first show i was only about 6-7%, that is higher then yours and i was lean how are you coming up with that number. Also if you didn't seem the differance you did something wrong because i gain 7-10lbs in 2 days while carb loading and then loose about 5-6 of water when i start to fat load, if you weren't lean enough at 5-9% you were probably still holding water.

Congrats on getting 2nd.

Didn't anyone tell you to use Dream Tan?

And Mike, i didn't know you were for hire...

[toopowerful4u]

Well, when i depleted i lost like 4 lbs, and just got it back when i loaded. Maybe one lb extra. Yea, but i couldnt get my hands on Jan Tana in 2 days. Im gonna use that for the first coat, then apply pro tan over it. Im also gonna tan my ass off.

I had my bf taken, and i was around 6% a few days b4 comp. I was cut well everywhere except my arms n legs. Quads not very cut, and bracialis not showing on my arms. Possibly was holding water, but i used taxatone exactly as the bottle says, and cut my water 18hrs b4 prejudging. I dunno. Im gonna try the carb load thing again, but not as extreme. I have the basic idea with complex carbs n stuff, and im not gonna fat load as heavily either. Im not disappointed, im actually proud of myself. The next show is a much bigger one anyway, would b sweet to try to come back n win it. I dont mind sacraficing a little muscle as long as i get a considerable amount more cut. Im also gonna use sum Prep H on my legs n arms this time.

How old are you?

[toopowerful4u]

haha 19. My first competition. Cant wait til i do another (2 week!)

[mr grizzly]

2nd place is great for a first show, nice job bro
good luck in the next one

[MIKE_XXL]

Oh yeah Congrats Bro, shit i forgot to say that...GOOD SHOWING!!!!

...I would apply Pro Tan first and then Jan Tana...

...and let me say one thing my fat calipers told me i was 4.5-4.7% bodyfat 1 weeks ago, and i know i wasn't that low, i might have bee 6% on a good day...

...and Primo what would like to hire me for.........XXL

[toopowerful4u]

Thanx everyone. Im pleased with myself as well. I think il post up pix regardless of how they come out.

Im lookin for a walkthrough here lol, on how, when, and how often to apply jan tana and Pro Tan to get dark enough to actually fit in this time lol.

Also would like a quick rundown on Prep H usage for my arms, mid section, and quads. Im thinking(guessing) that it should be thursday night before the show, because when i cut my water at 5:00 itl stay out.

ill hit this sucker on the head yet haha.

[ARABIAN_FREAK]
