Carlos, we knew you had this one in the bag, bro. Nice job. Your hard work and dedication has certainly paid off. Congrats!

So did you even CHEW the Key lime?

**Carlos_E** · 11-14-2004, 02:01 PM

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!

One of our members has done a great job out in the real world, let's see if we can get a member title change--at least--from "Anabolic Member" to "National Bodybuilding Qualifier."

Usually it's in two DIFFERENT shows, you need only a 1st and 2nd placing, or two 1st's of course. I did mine in San Francisco, then 1 month later in Sacramento.

Not sure about one show, but I don't see why not.

Congrats again! ~SC~

**GeoQuadzilla** · 11-15-2004, 09:36 AM

Awesome job Carlos!

I read the rules:

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Among the first 2 in his/her weight class in an area level Championship designated as a National Qualifier.

So I'm good to go!!!

**dj desmondo** · 11-15-2004, 10:43 AM

I wrapped the raw fish in lettuce and ate that.

That is exactly the dedication that made you a National Qualifier, your **** right you should be proud bro, all that hard work paid off and i am sure this is just the beginning.

I invited a sports photographer to the show. His name is Al Bello. This guy is no joke. He's an award winning sports photographer.

This is during mandatories... I smiled during my routine. It was enough I could stand let alone smile. I was so tired back stage I didn't even bother to pump up before going on stage. There were some guys doing entire workout routines. I just kinda laid around back stage and tried to rest until it was time to go on stage.
