Thanks for taking the time to post that bro. I actually had'nt even seen them until I saw your post. That was definitely the best "Me" that I could have been on that day. I have no regrets as I did'nt hold anything back. I did the best I could. That show was pretty much testing the waters as a light heavy for the first time. I am pretty confident that once I add weight in the right places that even those that finished ahead of me won't have a chance. I know that may sound arrogant. I was out weighed by 16 pounds yet those guys did'nt appear bigger. The top two had a little better legs, and conditioning and that's it.

As for the binge, it was pizza, wedding cake (I love the almond flavor), and a couple of Pepsi's. I ate fried chicken Sunday, and more cake, and ice cream, and some strawberry newtons. Monday I did about the same. I woke up this morning (tuesday) had my usual egg whites, made my low carb protein for the day to take with me, had tuna, tuna, oatmeal and shake preworkout, oatmeal and shake post workout, tuna, and I'm on my way to the kitchen as we speak. I am back on track. I know that by sticking to a clean diet year round I will come in harder, and bigger next year. I am so close to being a dominant bodybuilder at this level I can taste it. Plus I have gotten to the point where I actually enjoy the food and find it more convenient than eating junk.

Thanks Again To All of You for your Support and Encouragement.

Alter bro,

Your abs were by far the best on the stage, and vascularity in the upper body is nuts BRO. The striactions in the delts and chest amazing. Massive guns too.. I thought from looking in the pics you came in alot fuller ( your muscles were filled out alot better then some others) the guy in the black trunks and crew cut looked really flat and didnt have abs like yours. But Alter man, Still my hero!!!

AE does have that tiny waist - lucky guy - you looked amazing Alter and were SHREDDED - just like you said - a bit more size and no beating you IMO.

Thanks for the pics JuicedOne!!

AE you look great on stage - a natural!

your hams came in so nicely. question, i'm having trouble getting the water off mine, any tricks? been using prep h w/ my water delpete.

Thanks Tech. I really do appreciate the compliments from a fellow competitor!

Sienna, I'm shocked at the Hams comment. If you notice my right ham looked soft. I strained my hamstring over a month ago, and it held fluid the whole time. I was hoping that when I dropped water and sodium it would go down, but that was not the case. I had to hit everything on the left side to try an hide it.

As for last minute ideas, Thiomucase comes to mind. It is a little stronger than Prep-H. It is not used in the US but there are no restrictions against its imprtation into the US. You should be able to find it online for 10-20 dollars. There are supposedly a few US companies that carry since it is not illegal.

What are you using for your diuretic? This was my first time using Aldactone and I loved it. I never cramped, did'nt have to take the potassium. It takes longer to work, but man it does the job without flattening you out. Being you are so close I would stick with what you are doing as far as diuretics and Prep-H go.

Good Luck, don't get too stressed out this week. I took the whole week off and focused on the show and nothing else. It made all the difference in the world.

You look awesome bud!! 4th out of 12 and getting outweighed but 16 pounds is insane. Just think where your going be a year from now. These same guys won't even touch you.

[Nautilus]

A.E. and Sienna I am having more than normal problems with cramping.Like muscles locking up on me.How much potassium do you consider to be on the top end.I know there are days I don;t get my 1.5 gallons of water down.What if any alternate supplements could I use...I know how you feel AE at just under 6 ft. its impossible for me to take first regaurdless of how hard and ripped I get.I go in at 210 and the other guys come in at 210 at 5.8....Need to come in 15 lbs. heavier if not more b/c of my height...........I'll just have to train even harder and eat even more...And yes after years your body really doesn't crave the junk food.On my last cheat day I spent the night puking 3x's my body really doesn't want the fat,high sugar and ehhhh grease and I didn't have much thats the kicker....................
