Hey Mo
Great Job….Mo. Whole package looking good. Muscle thickness in your lower back and chest are symmetrical and of course all enhanced by the small waistline/abs(currently at what measurement?) Your dedication and ideals of staying natural will payoff.

Thank you Terry, thank you Keith! I felt really good after reading your comments, (when i'll feel depleted, small, tired and depressed ;D i'll read it again and i'm sure i'll feel a lot better ;D) !
What also means a lot to me is the fact that you seem to understand my intense desire to remain a natural athlete! Thaaaaaaank you guys!
And Keith… i never mesured my waist… but now that you talk about that ;D , maybe i'll do it.

Thank for keeping an eye on my guys! Week 18 (May 1st)
After the week... 194 lbs Stats: Average Protein- 335 p Average Carbs - 120 c Supp: Multi vit + Glucosamine + Omega + Glutamine
i still kept my 2 x 20 mins of cardio session… and i even add a 3th one ;D just for you Tim!
So i'm now 10 days out! I feel pretty depleted and i'm very anxious to carbs up and step on stage!
Next week i wont work… i decided to take 1 week off just to be sure that i will be able to be 100% focus on my diet, training, tanning, shaving… and not to focus on my job! It will allows me to eleminate some stress! I did that startegy last years and i feel like it was a good one…
But while waiting for that week… i'm working twice as hard as usual at the office this week! (That why i wasnt very present on the web thoses last days).
Until the competition, i'll have this schedule: ( Feel free if you have any comments about how you suggest to do things)
------ May 4th Did 20 mins of cardio at lunch time (My gym is close to my office) Regular legs training at night DIET: raise my sodium intake / Keep the water intake at 5 liters
-------May 5th Cardio 20 mins DIET: keep my sodium intake high / Keep the water intake at 5 liters
-------May 6th Regular arms training DIET: keep my sodium high / Keep the water intake at 5 liters
---------May 7th Cardio 20 mins DIET: keep my sodium high / Water at 6 liters
---------May 8th DIET: Carbs very low (50g - 75g) / Water at 6 liters / Sodium high TRAINING: Upper body + cardio if i need
---------May 9th DIET: Carbs very low (50g - 75g) / Water at 6 liters / Sodium high TRAINING: Lower body + cardio if i need
--------May 10th DIET: Carbs very low (50g - 75g) / Water at 7 liters / Sodium high TRAINING: upper body + cardio if i need
---------May 11th Shaving + 2 coat of Pro tan Sodium low / Water 7 liters No training, no cardio Carbs High 500g
----------May 12th Sodium high / Water 5 liters 3 coat of pro tan No training no cardio Carbs high 500g
---------May 13th No sodium… Water 4 liters and stop at 4h00 PM Carb high 450g 3 coat of pro tan Weight in at 6h00 PM
------- May 14th contest day… all day long Carb high Sodium low No water 1 coat of pro tan
I must admit that i still have some interogations about sodium intake and carb intake ON contest day (Some competitors seem not to eat very clean on contest day… i never did… but should i?) I think i'll add some questions in the contest prep section...

Week 19 (May 8th) After the week... 193 lbs Stats: Average Protein- 345 p Average Carbs - 110 c Supp: Multi vit + Glucosamine + Omega + Glutamine Ok... a last week! i'm so hungry to step on stage! It's gonna be fun for sure! Last week end, i received i good and a bad news. The good one is that i compared a lot of pics and stats versus my last year condition and NO DOUBT i'm a lot better than last years. I'lll be 5 pounds heavier and 2-3% lower in bodyfat! The bad news is that the Provincial champion of the other bodybuilding federation in Quebec (i compete in the WNSO, and i'm talking about the FCPAQ) have registered in my weight class for this WNSO event... and outch, he is a monster ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) But i'll try to forget about that... i'm ready and i'll do the best i can... bottom line! PS: With this 7 liters of water a day... i'm in the toilet every 45 minutes ;D Mo

Good attitude Mo.....to hell with any other contestants.....you are already a winner, just for supassing your condition of last year. :Rocker Dude:
In essence, all we really do is compete against ourselves, and we have no control over who else enters the contest.
Stay focused buddy,you`re gonna` do great!! :Thumbs Up:

... i'm happy to be back on the WOTW with you guys! I was so besy those last days: Returning at the office after a week off, eating like a pork after the competition ;D , trying to log on that web site again (i dont know why but i had a lot of trouble with that... i felt like an oldies that is not able to use his video recorder ;D ), preparing the night of the premiere of star wars III and finally trying to post pics (it's bizarre but i'm not able to do it since the site is upgrade!)
But now that i'm back, i'm very anxious to share my experience with you! It's gonna be a long and emotionnal post so i hope my english capacities wont slow me too much!
So if i need to find a sentence that summarize everything, i would say: The show of a life time!
It's started at the Screening panel on Friday. The screening panel consist of being evaluatate by a jury that will determine if your phisyque corresponds to the "normal" aspect of a natural bodybuilder. Once every few years they will refuse a bodybuilder to compete... but its pretty rare! Let say that it's more a way to discourage some non-natural bodybuilders to come to the screening and register for the show. So what almost every competitor had in mind that night was: Is T.H.E. guy (the monster who i talked about in my last post) that won a lot of non-natural shows and get tested positive at a natural show few years ago would pass that screening panel! The result of that? He didn't pass at first... but they asked him to come back with pictures of him in the 3 last years to see the evolution of his physique! After the second screening, they allows him to participate! Oh and a little detail, he his a light heavy weight ;D like me. But seriously that night and during the show i didnt care. That guy his a great man (i know him a bit) and if he says that he is clean, he is and i wish him the best because he have an outstanding physique... bottom line! The only sad thing is that he used drugs in the past! But hey, i was notl beaten and i was determined to give this guy (this great guy) a run for his money ;D
On Saturday the pre jugging began! I was on the locker room, meeting the others guys! The ambiance was very...very nice! The friendship between guys was super! Now the critical moment... the time to meet the light heavy weight class competitors! Oooh my god... this was THE categorie! (I finished 1st in that categorie last year but that year, at least 5 guy would have been able to finished 1st last years!)I think that many would have agree, the winner of that categorie will have a lot of chance for the overall!
After a long day... the top 6 guys in the light heavy are asked to go on stage for comparaisons! We did all the pose and the jury asked for the comparaison of only three guys: THE guy, me and a third one! We did all the poses again and the jury asked for four guys: Everyone, excepted me and THE guy... Yesssss! i was so happy!
Finally the pose down... the moment where the audiance became nuts! When the music began i went immediately close to THE guy and did every pose that he did! And even if the friendship between guys was nice all day long (except that during the day we heard a lot of comments about the "natural" aspect of THE guy physique)... i can confirm that we forgot it during that pose down ;D It was so crazy that even when the music stopped and the other competitors came out of the stage... THE guy and i continued to pose! At this very moment i remember why i like that sport so much...
I also received some very nice comments about my routine! If the organisation have a DVD of the competition i would like to put a link to that routine here! Other great news.. My girlfriend and i finished 2nd in the couple category!
After that long day (prejugging strated at 9h00 AM and the night show finished at 1h30 AM... OUCH!) it was the award presentation! They annonced the third place: It wasn't me! Was it a great news? At that time i wasnt sure! They annonced the second spot: Maurice Vailancourt! Yes, i was so happy! That second place was great, but the fact that i challenged THE guy all day long was an even better feeling! Finally THE guy finished 1st and won the Overall and the pro card!
Sunday, i eat 3 bigs macs, 8 Krispee cream donuts, 1 medium pizza from Pizza hut, 5 bowl of cereal, chips, chocolate, subway, etc ;D You cant imagine the stomach pain i had, haha! But Monday i returned to the traditionnal Chicken and rice diet! Why? Because i received an invitation for the "advance division" at the world natural championship of the WNSO...it's call "The FAME event". That division is the highest excepted the Pro division in the WNSO. I dont think that i'm good enough to place well but it will be a great experience!
Thank you guy for your support! I'll post some 2 days out pics soon (when i'll understand how to post pics!!!)and i will post pics of contest days in few days (or week) when i'll receive it for the organisation!
Mo

Congrats Mo!!! How many points seperated the two of you? Kind of bites that you lost to a guy that had been denied the opportunity to compete, then allowed. Similar to allowing Levrone to compete in one of his last "O's." You did your best, and gave him a run for his (yours!) money!!! Congrats again!

I'll do it myself if someone tell me how to do it! Thanks again for those nice word my friend! Mo

The juges scoring cards are not avalable yet but i'm looking to see this very soon! I know there is no money to do with natural pro bodybuilding, but this show gave me the desire to continu to improve and someday getting my natural pro card (it's more an honorary thing, but it could be a great achievement) So let's continu the diet for an another 3 weeks and see what i can do in Toronto!
