Well all with tremendous backing from my WIFE and KIDS, I will be competeing in my FIRST show October 28th in Cincinnati,Ohio. I am nervous as hell and am sure i will be asking a ton of questions. This is something that i have always wanted to do ever since i started this game many years ago. I did a 12 week cut to prove to myself that i can cut down and compete. the end of the 12 weeks is tomorrow. I did not make it all the way to leaness but i did prove to myself that i can do it. Dont get me wrong i am very close to being fully cut. I am going to actually go a little longer with the diet then take some time off from dieting just to regain my sanity. I am going to do some pics at the end of the week to critique(sp?) myself and to get some feedback from my fellow bodybuilders here.....

All right Steve........the gauntlet has been thrown down!!! #arockon6ha#
If you need any help during the pre-contest dieting process,this is definately the place to be,and I`m sure everybody who has been there will be more than willing to offer advice and suggestions.

Hoopie,
One thing I can say, since you are going to compete, you are definitely at the right place for the best advice. You will do fine, just get focused and get a plan lined out. Then your off to the races.

Great news Hoopie!
I agree that when you live the lifestyle 24/7 why not just buy the posing suit and step on stage to show people what you achieved! You'll live the trill of a contest, and once you do it, you become addicted to it!
As everyone here, i'll be pleaseto help if i can just ask if you have any questions!
