Don't worry bro, Jay Cutler winning the Mr Olympia shows you that the best man in the show does not always necessarily win. pics look great as well.

I think somebody needs help with their directions...

but anyway, you look better than the other people we can see in the pics. Any pics of the winner for comparison?

Woops, I believe you're correct. Shows what happens when I post on little sleep

Size obviously wasnt an issue, I think you can agree that you need to bring better conditioning to win shows hands down. You have packed on a lot of lean tissue but you do need to come in more conditioned. I beat guys out in my shows that outweighed me by a lot and had a lot more muscle just cuz I was that much more lean. The difference between 6% and 4% can mean a couple of placings.

 

[Duality]

^ good points. and i would not be screaming bloody murder if the guy was shredded because i was not. but he was marginally barely better than me condition wise. this imo should and does not offset all the extra size i had on him. i mean size should count for something.

:carduforvip i know my english sucks, but ... c'mon i said very clearly "on (in) YOUR RIGHT"

 

[Zoknat]

You looked good there man, very good chest ,legs & tri ...keep on the good work .

 

[Ironslave]

Tough to say about the end result, would be nice if there were some good comparison pics (would make a sweet MuscleKombat thread!).

Either way, it's a learning experience, you know what you can do to improve next time.

 

[ordinary]

Great job brother. Don't let the placing bother... I know it's tough. Unfortunately, politics can play a bit of a role sometimes. You looked awesome... great size and next time you'll have a better idea of how your body reacts to the cut. Keep it up brother... next time you will scare the shit out of people!

 

[Braaq]

You looked pretty good bro, and full. BUT, I hope this makes you finally realize that you should have followed the diet exactly instead of wandering off ALL the time, kept track of what you took in so we could make adjustments or see where you went wrong, and that holding on to muscle for the sake of your conditioning will NOT win you a show. You did look good considering the amount of time you dieted but that still didn't win you the show. Next year you should take this defeat whether you feel it was legit or not and use the mistakes you made to learn how to better prepare next year. For your first show, 2nd is damn good and you should feel proud of how you did considering you made all the above mistakes.
