Sorry been asleep and resting most of the time just exhausted as hell from only 2 hours of sleep yesterday then after my show had to go film my friends music performance in which I was up for a total of 24 hours yesterday and dehydrated most of the time.

I hope I can get some better pics but probably not, they don't have the best photographers for these shows in my state.

This pic was from the night show, I was darker during the night show and I was told by a few I needed more color so I did. I expected another pose down round but I guess thats not how they did it in these levels shows. Just 2 rounds. A pose down, your posing music and trophies awarded.

I'll give you my honest opinion. I feel like most that I was given the shaft. If people think thats shitty that I question the judges well I'm sorry. I was definitely bigger in all points, poses, and my condition was on point with the others if not better. I'm not delusional and I know what I saw. Especially the crowds reaction when we all hit this front double bi and I could just hear in the crowd they were seeing the same thing you all are

After prejudging everyone had me winning this class and the guy placing 4th in second. Even the competitors in the class thought I had it. Apparently not.

My class wasn't the only one that was iffy that was for sure

My parents were there and just thought it was a total sham and the event was a completely unorganized mess and to lose over a couple shades of color to them is a load of shit. They though it was bodybuilding not tanning. We talked after the show for a while and want me to give it some real consideration and concern if I should pursue this sport (going pro) for health and monetary reasons.

This sport is all about opinions the judges have theirs and here is mine.

Yeah, you might want to work on the mental side of BB. I don't think there is any sport more political than BB. Imagine how Cutler felt getting 2nd all those years knowing damn well he looked better than Ronnie sometimes.

Seems like the Pro's understand and accept the BS politics that come with the sport. It would definately be hard to take but you can't get pissed, just move on to the next one.

Solid advice.

But definitely not easy to swallow.

Man, I've been there a couple times myself.
