Could this have anything to do with what happened at the Arnold. Manion gets the lifetime achievement award only to get criticized the next day by Arnold who doesn't like the way judging is going or...

I think they should do a Fashion Police at the Arnold.

If you don't have the body for it don't wear it and please walk normal or no admittance. That should cut down on the over crowding. lol

When the money stops flowing in they will cater to the audiences.

The Expo was way overcrowded. Boy if there was ever a fire in that room it would be disastrous.

Why can't they move gymnastics to another venue and use that space to make all the aisles wider to...

If anyone is on a budget and needs a place to stay for Jr Nationals let me know. I live 15 minutes away and you can use my house and kitchen.

How come some photos are missing. I can't believe there's no photos of the overall mens.

Hope a lot of people show up and attend. We had a great Jr. Nationals with the largest number of competitors. Now I hope the inaugural Chicago Pro Show does great too so it comes back again next...

Awesome job. How long did this transformation take?

Looking great.

Nice humble letter. Congratulations. You will do great in the future.

Damn you look great. Keep it up. A lot of time yet.

Looking real good. I don't know much but your keeping your muscle and the cuts are coming in from what my amateur eye sees.

Hang in there.

Ax,
I spent some time reading this journal and enjoyed warching your journey to the Masters Nationals. You had an awesome physique that I wish I could get half as good.

Most importantly it was...

Joe what supplements are you using now. Vito

You can always tell when its after leg day. And your floor at home is littered with dirty laundry cause your too sore to bend over and pick it up. And putting on a pair of underwear and pants is...

Good job, nice abs.

So you got about 10 weeks to go right.

How's the diet, Hang in there, got a lot of time yet put the effort into it now for payoffs later.

Proud of ya

Congratulations glad your heading back to the stage. I can't wait to see the changes coming to your physique. I'll be watching.

Cody looked awesone but maybe at that age group they wanted someone who looked somewhat natural and not on roids to serve as an example for others.

Thanks if you see on the abdomen you can see the piece sticking out sp hopefully it will be flat now.

Thanks for the support.
