Tweetall right. i made it back and i am done haha. i came in at 248 on the dot exactly 5lbs heavier than last time and my condition was on point and better as well. so that in itself is a win. i damn sure didnt do as well as i would have liked but the competition was fierce. we put some work in for damn sure. in my second place finish the guy that beat me was about as close to me as could be and either of us could have taken it. he even told me when we where lining up that his coach and all his friends and family said i had him beat. no bueno on that one but we were both good enough to have taken it. i did win my masters class and took 3d in the open. i feel like i could have been at least 2d in the open but again the competitors were all so close we could have all moved up or down 1 or 2 spots. so i am not completely pissed off at my performance because i got bigger and better but some better people just happened to show up. so now we will begin to make more improvements and try to add on another 3-8lbs or so and tighten up a little more. i do need to figure out what the fuck is going on with my drying out. i did everything the way i was supposed to and i was on the verge of cramping as soon as i hit my first damn pose. i may need to move my minerals closer or further away from stage time. i will mess around with it and get it ironed out.

on the food side i havent went completely ape shit crazy and i will be back in the gym tomorrow. i did walk about 12 miles total on sunday and spent the entire day at a water park with my wife and kids. so i kept some of the water off my joints. i also pushed a gal and a half of water sat night through today. so that is a plus. i have eaten

cheese burger and fries (from a big joint i saw on food network)
doughnut sundary (another one i saw on the food network)
4 slices of pizza and 2 cookies
swiss chocolate chip pancakes w/syrup and sausage
beef sirloin tacos and shrimp tacos
black berry crumble
big sasauge and egg skillet with gravy

and that's about it since sat. i will eat what i want when i want for the remainder of this week and then go back into strict clean eating again with my 2 cheats a week. i am also ramping training back down over the next 3-4 weeks and cardio going in. then i may or may not take a full week off to completely and fully recover. i will cross that bridge when i get there.

i will get some good pics up here in a couple of days. got to find ones i cant be identified in etc.... also thanks to all following along the ride. going to be getting on the big stage nationally here next hopefully

got to ramp it back down and ease out before taking any time off. if not you mess up both your body and your metabolism. well i am wrecking my metabolism big time this week anyway so i might as well push all the nasty food and sugar around so it doesnt just sit and turn into pure fat

those doughnuts were probably the best doughnuts i have ever had and i am not even a big cake doughnut fan. the made them fresh to order and the maple bacon was perfect. actually all of the doughnuts that i tried were spot on. not to sweet not to savory but just right and they melt in your mouth like a normal doughnut. i have found a new favorite haha. they were actually cheap as krispy kreme or dunkin also which was a surprise

i learned and carried an extra 3 gals of water with me and as soon as i got done i started rehydrating sat and sunday before hand. so other than being super sore, i didnt get all the nasty water rebound effects so the park was a breeze. it was actually a huge park that was a part of the hotel so it was super super cheap. crowded as all hell but didnt wreck the budget at all

my body did the same thing last time. i dropped about 10-15lbs while junking it up and then slowly started gaining again. my metabolism must not be shutting down to bad at all. that and no really bad water retention at all. i know it's gross but i havent had the jungle shits in a long ass time. even eating nasty ass greasy food and tons of sugar and that has never happened before. so my body must be processing and doing really well this go around. i am def not complaining at all. hell i didnt take a dump for the last 3 days of prep at all. so i was def processing and using everything up till that point. we shall see how i do when i transition back to clean eating haha

You are so funny! Junking it up. You can count on your hands how many times you have junked it up in the last 20 years. Perspective... You are the most dedicated and strict person; even in the body building world. When we really watch and pay attention to your diet and workouts it is nearly impossible to do what you do year in and year out.
