Watching, I've got a friend in the light heavy wt. novice. Hope to get to meet you! Good luck! Sorry you posted this after I left for Ky. It was an VERY loooong day. I was freaking out Friday night after weigh in. I decided to eat the pizza Friday night. BIG mistake. I woke up looking much better than when I made it on stage which was 2 freakin P.M. All those figure and new bikini stuff. OH well live and learn eh. As promised an update. I did take 5th out of 5. Here are a couple pictures my wife took. I'm the one on the far right.

Congrats Carl!!!! Each show is a new experience and we learn something new every time. Thanks for the info on the addition of bikini. I KNEW that was coming in that it would making the shows even LONGER! Just another thing to factor in when planning for a contest.
Jusr remember, when you list ALL your shows...you did NOT come in 5 out of 5....you came in in the TOP 5!
;D

Great effort, Carl. You're a champ!
Figure and bikini should be at the end of the show. BBs should be judged first, as they have the most to lose waiting for hours back stage.
Good luck for the future.

I was already commited to doing the Natural Ohio April 4th. About 2 1/2 weeks out. I figured since I would already be in "shape" I might as well. With that being said... Sunday my kids wanted McDonalds for dinner. So I packed them up and took them. I decided to get the Big N'Tasty meal with a diet coke of course. I started back on the diet immediately after that meal. Now that I have realized that my body reacts much differently as I am a few years older (40) some changes need to happen. Now the plan for the Ohio show. I'm going to work backwards. I'll explain... I'll take the friday before the show on the calender as my target point. That will be my carb up DAY. Yes, only one day. so From here on out I am going to have three low carb days then a carb up day. I will cycle this until it matches up to that Friday as a carb day. I am NOT going to try and minipulate sodium/water. Meaning I will not drink the 1 1/2 gallon of water for 5 days and reduce it. I will maintain my "normal" drinking. I will only cut the water out around 8pm the friday night before the show. In a nut shell that's my updated plan. Thanks for all the great feedback and support gang, MUCH appreciated!!!
