Yep thats me next to great dave Goodin!

I read about your experience on another board. . .You looked great though!!!!!!

All I could do was present all I had and thats all can do!

Craig...

Sorry to hear about the whole saturday thing. I am prepping for my first pro show. The one on September 16th. I am looking way better than I did when I won my pro card....but in looking at some pics (and you know how this goes)....the inevitable thought enters the head that "you look like ****...you are not going to look good for the day of the show!!!"

I used joe for my pro-qualifier....didnt use him for this. To be honest...I am leaner six weeks out than I was on the day of the show, holding more strength, and about 8 - 10lbs heavier.

I actually was going to do the one in georgia...but an elbow injury took me out of it. So, its September for me.

where will your weight be?? If you are under 180'ish you will be in the light weight most likely and Joe wil be in your weightclass!

Most likely be about 30 men at this one, divided down the middle!

Sorry to hear that the experience was not a good one for you...however, you looked great!

Actually....he had me come in at about 190 for last years show. I am hoping to come in close to 200 for this year. Some of the changes I have made with regard to dieting have been carb cycling, throwing down about 2 - 3x more glutamine than I ever have, taking in a pre-bed shake, and adding in some of the very FEW test boosters allowed by the WNBF.

I also learned a few tricks with regard to some back poses....but my main concern is that my legs look good.

If you go with that extra weight of 10 lbs I hope you are as hard or it will really take away from your placing, if you did add that size and are able to be just as hard thats an amazing amount of weight to add in one year??

I think I added about 3 - 5lbs since last year.....the big difference is that I did not lose as much weight as I did last year. Last year I was down to 194 by now....and VERY weak.

Curt, this is Robert, are you planning on the International in Kansas in Sept ?? I've seen the last winner of the INBF Phoenix show placed 7th. in the WNBF U.S Cup recently in the light-weight division. ------------------------- I need to do a show because I am not going to loose that card. ANYHOW , GOOD LUCK TO YOU CURT.

Robert...

I know how you feel about competing and losing that card. I am about five weeks out and really want this thing done!!! Ha Ha....I would like to do well, but I understand that this is my first pro show and will be back to square #1 with regard to the learning curve....what show are you going to do?

I was planning on doing the International also but I hurt my lower back and that threw me off totally. I was still thinking about doing the show but I know I am not ready and don't want to just compete and look like an odiot. I was thinking also of the WNBF Masters' Pro in November but that has been cancelled. I believe that all the competitors who had been preparing for the Masters' in November has been given the chance to compete at the Worlds in November, I don't know if the Masters' will be held then but I think I am going to do it. Which gym are you working out at ?? I am wishing you all the best of luck at your first show in Kansas. Do not under-estimate yourself, I am sure you will come in the condition that you want for yourself.

I am training at Worlds in Scottsdale. We shall see as far conditioning goes...just gotta get these **** legs more shredded. I just want to get this first one out of the way so that come nexk show I will know what to expect. Speaking of shredded....dear lord wouldnt it be great to come in looking this shredded (and with wider shoulders)!
