Congrats brother, 2nd place is nothing to sneeze at. Remember, this was your FIRST show!!! You should be very proud of your accomplishments. With all due respect, remember that you were fat a few short months ago (as per bodybuilding standards), and last night you placed second in a gotdamn bodybuilding competition. Put that in perspective!!!!

Time to change that avy now brotha... IMO you did what you set out to do.

PS - big win for you and the Yanks in the same night!

One piece of advice, if you are planning on staying natural a 5lbs increase per year in stage weight is a VERY good off season, I averaged a 2-3lbs increase over the first 6 years after my first show. If you are planning on coming in with 15-20lbs more stage muscle naturally I think you are going to be disappointed.

^^^ pretty sure he's planning to run a couple of cycles.

Thanks Gbrice, always appreciate the kind words and your 100% in eveerything that you said. I'm happy with my placing and the experience is priceless. From the spray tanning (which you have to get naked for lol) to the battle woth dehydration it was GREAT. Nonetheless, I still have work that I will take care of and 364 days from now, I will be the overall winner at the Northstar Classic 2012.

Fireguy- Props to you for never giving up and doing all those shows. I'm sure the overall win was a great feeling.

Thanks for the good words guys, I do appreciate it. I'm back in the gym, slowly but surely. The days of having ice cream for breakfast are done and its time to refocus and capture this title in 11 3/4 months. I'll be keeping everyone posted on my progress
