While supporting my two friends who did the Garden Classic in NJ I met not 1, not 2, but three IBFF pros and I also worked out next to Victor Martinez at the powerhouse gym in Bloomfield, NJ.. Woah!
The three bb were Craig Richardson, Desmond Miller, and the XMAN Toney Freeman!!! When I get home I'll upload the pictures!
Another cool thing was I got alot of props from people for me!! I'm totally shocked because they were like bro.. why are u up there. I told them I was 8 weeks out and they were like your gonna be the man. I smiled at them. Now this made me feel VERY amped up for my show and also seeing my friends on stage Amped me up big time! I can't wait until Aug!!

Hey Chanman:
Sounds like it was alot of fun- Victor Martinez is awesome- huge but with aesthetics. Must have been great to train with him.

He was there busting his ass like I was. I however, felt like an incredible rush while doing arms near him. HAHA thanks to him I got some great pumps. |

Very cool. How did that guy do? The one you posted pic's of.. Hey Randy, no these are two different guys from my gym closer to home. Their names are Rob Kreider and Vic Keenan. Rob has been doing national level NPC shows for a while now and took 3rd in 2003 nationals the same year David Henry won that class. He took me under his wing a while back when I was starting up and we've been great friends ever since. Myself, Vic, and Rob form Team Kreider and we represented very well at NJ. Here are some pics day before.. Rob:  Vic:  |

Looks like a great time!
You look like you're leaning out very well, also.
Keep up the good work!

C-Man.....Cool Stuff!!!
I once did a show that Gunther Schlierkampf was the guest poser at. It was so cool to be back stage with him pumping up at the night show.
After I did my routine, I walked back stage and Gunther gave me a high five and said with his German accent, "Man, that was really cool!"
That was better than the trophy!

Great pics Andrew...........you`re looking good dude. How did your boys finish at the show? Rob took 2nd in both Masters 35 and open light heavy. What was more interesting was he weight in at 188!!! The guy was just harder than he was. We are going to kick Rob's ass and get him down to middleweights for USAs! Vic took 3rd in Masters over 45, 4th in novice middleweight and 6th (by 2 pts) in open middleweight. |

I woke up today actually 183 and looking like how I was TWO WEEKS out from the FL show and i'm EIGHT so you know i'm excited to see how this body looks in 8 weeks! |
