My Results From 2006 Natural NBI Tri-State Open

Lando33 · 03-14-2006, 10:37 AM

Hey guys,

Haven't posted in a while (been lurking a bit) but here the some pics from my contest this past weekend. It was held on March 11, 2006. It was the NBI 2006 TRI-STATE Open. It was a natural show.

I weighed in at 161 the morning of the show and definitly weighed a little bit more by the time I stepped onto the stage. I took first in the Novice - Lightweight Division, Best Poser in the Lightweight Division and won the Overall Novice Title. I finished second in the Overall Best In Show, losing by only one point to the Overall Winner of the Night, Denny Matos.

It was a great experience, a real rollercoaster ride from start to finish. I could have never expected to bring it home like this. There will be more pics to come and even some video so keep your eyes peeled. I'll be posting links soon.

And yes, that was THE King Kamali in the second picture. He was at the pre-judging to help out a friend. He was really cool and he let me know that he'll be doing the New York Pro in May. Plus, I've never seen anyone fill out a Jordan sweatsuit like that before!

Excellent work!

Lando, you have very good balance and no real weak points. What also stood out was your color. What was your secret in obtaining such a great even overall color!

Haha, funny you should mention color. I was talking with the head judge after the show and he offered some really good constructive criticism. Besides the physical stuff he offered, he said that my color was too light! Looking at some of the pictures i can disagree, others i agree with him.

Anyway, I am naturally really light skinned. I started tanning in a tanning bed about 5 weeks out, going twice a week and then three times a week 2 weeks out of the show. That helped to give me a nice base tan but I don't know if i will do that again b/c i don't know of the long term effects of it. My skin type is prone to skin cancer and if there is a better way to get darker (or just as dark) for a show without bakeing in a bed, i will find it.

The night before I used two coats of Protan Competition color. Then the day of, 2 more coats and then finally a layering of dream tan #2 (which ever one was the golden brown color).

The color looks great in some of the picts. I guess they must have been the ones that stuck in my mind.

I am not sure at this point. I am going to stay lean, keep my cardio up and train hard. I am eyeing up another possible show in june but I have not commited to anything yet at this point.
