Some of you may have read the other thread about my NKY show. Well, I learned a lot about myself from that show. So many of you were very supportive and I really appreciate it! So I thought to share my little journey onto the stage again. I am 2 days from the Natural Ohio show now. Last show at this time I started to load carbs and cut water drastically. This morning I got up as usuall at 04:00 and did my 45 minutes fasted cardio. I am going to keep on my low carb diet and keep the water intake high (about a gallon). I will keep my low carb going until tomorrow at 6pm. Then I will be conservative with eating a half sweet potato and steak at 6pm then a whole sweet potato and steak at 9:30ish after weigh in. I will cut my water around 6pm but not totally. One last meal at 05:00 before the show with a sweet potato and steak. Last show I got down to 135lbs and weighed in at 137lbs. Telling me that I carbed up wayyyy too much and dropped the water too soon. NOT going to happen this time. I am 133lbs right now and I took this photo just before bed last night...

Just came home from pre judging. Here is pretty much how it went... Masters 40-49 lightweight. Only 5 of us. I was in second position. Middle and end person were switched. We went through second round of comparasons. I have no clue where I will end up maybe 3 or 4. Open Bantam 9 of us. We were split to the sides. My number was called first along with 4 others. We went throught he poses. At this time top three get called off stage for the urin testing. MY NUMBER WAS CALLED!!!! In about 8 hours we'll find out what I place. Crossing fingers for the best. About 5 people asked me if I did the NKY show a few weeks ago. They all said what an improvement I made or I must be a twin or something.

Way to go Carl ! You look great! Keep up the good work! What's next on your agenda? What did you think of your physique? What did you think your strong and weak points were? What is your plan to work on those things? How was the pre-contest diet? Starving for input !
