Those are the best comparison shots I have with Eric.
I have a couple more if someone wants them posted.
I think I may have mis-timed the shots a bit as Eric isn't fully contracted in the shots (as you can see in his individual shots on bb.com) so it's going to be VERY, VERY close.
On a side note
Gerry - have a couple of Lance that turned out "OK" if you like I can post those as well but I'm not sure if theyare any better than what's already out there.

Well guys it is finally over. I won the super heavyweight class but was unhappy with my conditioning. 25 weeks of dieting took its toll and I wasn't as sharp as I was 6 weeks ago. No matter what I did, my body just did what it wanted. I ended up coming in a lot sharper for the finals as I dumped 4 pounds over night. My body is a mess right now and I am just happy it is over.
The winner of the over 40 also won the open overall. The guy was unreal and I couldn't have beaten him in my best conditioning. A true genetic freak. He won two pro cards.lol
Time for the off season. I will post some pictures of the finals when I get them. I was in much better shape.

Nice job Eric.
I don't know if you heard my wife and I yelling for you during the pre-judging but we she thought it a little funny as she didn't know you personally. But what the heck.
I couldn't wait to see your pics so I checked out MD - your condition definitely improved.....even got striations on your ARSE!!!!!!
And your vascularity improved tremendously.
Be proud - you did a phenomenal job!!

Be proud - you did a phenomenal job!! Jeremy Thanks Jeremy. I heard some people yelling that I didn't recognize.lol I improved as much as I could over night. There is pretty much no gas left in the tank now after 25 weeks. I am happy with this year though so now it is time to get better for next year. |

We should get together sometime - if you're in Pittsburgh I'm not too far - only about an hour from Akron, OH
Get some much needed rest and we'll talk soon.
Congrats again!!!

Eric, what you have achieved this past year is nothing short of amazing. Now take that offseason, eat and relax a bit.
Look forward to seeing you and Keith on stage next year!

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate the support you guys give me. It means a lot.
I am thrilled with what I did this year. I won two national titles and cannot be upset about that. I would have loved to get that pro card but it wasn't meant to be this year so I will just try and get better for next year and give it another shot. I am just glad the off season is here because my body cannot take another day of dieting.lol
