String of contests. 4 days out from next one

Joshua_H · 06-08-2006, 09:45 AM

I've been dieting down since early April, I've attatched a pic of what I looked like at the end of my bulk at high 220's.

I did my first of three contests last saturday-- the NGA United States Natural Championships, I was going to do the teen division but they're wasn't anyone to compete against so I ended up doing heavyweight Novice and I won 1st place in that. I did not do anything to peak for that show.. I was chugging protein shakes and **** prior to going on.. I didn't cut water at all or do anything drastic, it was basically a practice run. I stepped on stage at ~210ish. I attatched some proofs from the night show.

This saturday is the NPC Tampa Bay Classic, which will have a very competitive teen division with some seasoned 19yr olds. I'm pretty excited about it. I am 'peaking' for this show. Manipulating water/sodium, and a bunch of other **** under the guidance of some people who know what they are doing. I attatched a pic from 4 days out(taken 2days ago), you can see in that pic I've already started to dry out I am about 207lbs in that pic.

After the Tampa Classic this Saturday, then two weeks after that, June 23-24th is the Musclemania Superbody down in Miami, of which I'll also be doing the teen division. Depending on how things go this weekend I probobly will not dehydrate myself for the Musclemania, it's really hell on earth and I'll have to see if it's worth it based on how I look at the classic. for more detailed info check my log in my signature. I'll be 18 in mid-August.

thanks for any positive feedback, later

Nice job man. I can't believe you are only 17; you are going to be huge in a few years. Keep up the hard work, and good luck in the comps.

definitely have the size that most teens will not have

Joshua is 210lbs in contest shape and his conditioning is great. I would bet that his condition and shape are what win him his contest and not size. the conditioning and muscle definition are like a cartoon superhero and lookin like that is diet and desire--conditioning will win over size at a contest even if the size is solid and looks good---remember that Joshua also weighed a good deal more before he started dieting AND he was probably shooting at coming in for this last show the most, meaning this contest he would be in his best shape and we havent seen those pics yet

^^Sorry bro, after you cut down you still wouldn't be even be near this guys size when you're conditioned. Contest prep and find out if you don't believe me.

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but judging from that pic you'd have to diet down for 4-5months before you wouldn't get your balls and ass handed to you in a bodybuilding competition. Good size though.

Trapzillaoo7 · 06-12-2006, 10:12 AM

Don't sweat it Joshua. If it was that easy everyone would be competing. I can't believe how many guys just give up during their prep. It's more mental than anything. Congrats bro!
