^^haha awesome picture

**phillysteak** · 10-09-2014, 06:00 AM

If anyone missed it in JP's log, I'm heading to Cape Cod to cheer our boy on this weekend! I'll post updates in his thread as the day rolls on.

I'm gonna go see the pro show in the morning also, so if I can get some pics of Doug Miller in person, I'll drop em in here

The Home Alone line is classic. One of my favorite movies.

**phillysteak** · 10-10-2014, 02:41 PM

Alright guys and girls! Headed to Cape Cod tomorrow morning. I decided this week I'm definitely going to the pro show in the morning. There's probably going to be a huge gap between the pro bodybuilding portion and when JP hits the stage, but the chance to see Doug Miller in person is too cool to pass up!

I'll check in on here and his thread frequently tomorrow and hook you guys up with the updates! May even do a vlog

**The Solution** · 10-10-2014, 05:43 PM

Have fun, get some pics, and try to get one with Doug miller!
Hope you have a great time dude and some good eats

**NaturalPursuit** · 10-11-2014, 03:22 AM

Man! EVERYONE is going to see this show! Thats awesome man enjoy!

**phillysteak** · 10-11-2014, 09:00 AM

Doug Miller guys, he's in a class of his own

**IK9** · 10-11-2014, 09:18 AM

Wow ^

**Bnizzle163** · 10-11-2014, 06:47 PM

Not sure if human...

**The Solution** · 10-12-2014, 03:54 AM

**pete89** · 10-12-2014, 01:35 PM

Doug is just insane, and always improves each show. I thought he was huge back in 2010, now hes just on another level.

**mhilliard44** · 10-12-2014, 05:50 PM

Philly,

Super jealous you got to go to the show, you got some good pics and I'm sure it was a freaking blast!

Lmao. It probably shouldn't be. There has been some phenomenal natty physiques over the years, I think Doug probably set a new standard though, buttttt bodybuilding is subjective lol

*hangs head in shame for actually posing question*

We got to hang at her parents and watch the Eagles after. I feel like I haven't slept all weekend but it's been well worth it!

Also tried on my wedding band. It fits!

**phillysteak** · 10-15-2014, 08:01 AM

Haha no joke I pasted the whole thing together, edited, and was processing as we went for a walk. Laptop died

I'll plug it in this time lol. But do it again tonight while we take our walk and it'll be up!

I have to say...you look absolutely diced in it.

**phillysteak** · 10-15-2014, 04:20 PM

Okay, reuploading! If it's not done tonight before bed, I'll drop it in JP's log in the am when I leave for school.

In the meantime,

Great on rice cakes
Good on apples
Not so hot on potatoes
AWESOME on skinny cows :P

**wheathins** · 10-16-2014, 05:45 AM

so jellz of your trip to the Cape show to support our buddy, JP!!! If you were still living in Cinnaminson it would've been cool to carpool up there haha.

Dude, that wedding band.... shiz is getting real huh? I just got married two weeks ago. It's funny because in the gym you're used to flexing or catching glimpse of a sick pump in the mirror right? Now I find myself mirin' my wedding band as I grip up a barbell haha.

Glad to see everything is going well in and out the gym, Brad. You've absolutely murdered this reverse, very well done. Like a seasoned competitor!!!

I don't even wear a wedding ring anymore because I almost lost my finger deadlifting lol - The band was too small and almost chopped my finger off. Haven't got around to getting another one

**phillysteak** · 10-16-2014, 07:00 AM
