Had my first competition over the weekend (Pre-judging & awards Vids)

[racindude52]

So survived my first contest prep! Entered the novice and open classes at the OCB Yankee Classic. My first time ever on stage my pre-judging was 15 minutes long!! That was pretty exhausting! I'm #67 (Red Trunks) in the video I got second in this novice class. Number 72 (black trunks) was the winner.


awards for my novice class


In the open class I held my own against some bigger guys and wound up 4th out of 9 (or 10?.. i'll have to look again). in my class. #85 won this class.


awards for my open class


Overall I learned a TON and had lots of fun meeting new people! Time to re-energize, re-focus, re-build, and kick some ass next year!

good videos man, i am number 70 in the open class, you got some good genetics, i think you should have placed higher.

you look really good do you have any pics the day of?

[jaredmus]

next time around your going to do some serious work! you looked good, about 5 -8 lbs away from being a true freak, got some great arms and legs, Back is real good as well!
Best of luck in the future man looked good for any time on stage, step up condition next time and no doubt you'll have first placed locked down

[ironpump22]

Nice! Thank you. I lost pretty bad from the back.. and my posing needs some work too, but I'm looking to do that show again next year.

I'll get some pics up shortly

Thanks! I was kind of upset with the conditioning, but I only dieted 10 weeks for this show. I actually started dieting for a different show and changed gears a couple weeks in.

Thanks! It was really fun up there!

Bull**** you didn't win the novice. The guy that beat you had no conditioning, was sweatin like crazy, no posing skill, and zero legs. That was an awful call on the judges part, you had it hands down.

[ChickenandYams]

Nice job bro!! You looked great for your first contest too. Looked calm and very confident up there with your posing as well. I know how you feel, my first prejudging was looooooong! There were 11 of us, so they split us in half and did it one group at a time while the other group stood back in the relaxed pose waiting. It was grueling, but so much fun. Keep up the good work and congrats on a job well done! You're one of the few, of thousands of people, that will ever make that kind of commitment and have the guts to compete. Mad respect for all the competitors out there!

[tumtum]

looked great.. and not just for your first showing.. very nice MM

[mrusa85]

Best shape in the novice class.

lol I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. However, it did open my eyes to see I need to bring my back up like crazy, and learn to pose from the rear.

I appreciate it man. I had a lot of fun up there. Hearing all these people I don't know yelling out my number was a big confidence boost too.
