I sat in the 5th row when he came out for novice. And yes, he still had the striations in his ass.

What's up men can't sleep lol

placed 4th in the Novice Middle weight out of I think 10

the open they had to put me in lthvw 4lbs over way outclassed here lol I made 2nd callout though there was 16 guys not sure what i placed there.

yes it was a rush onstage going into 2 classes felt like I was about to go on a Disney ride wait online and go again lol

there were I think 400 competitors I was at finals for 4+hrs before we had to go.

the guys who were ahead me were not novices they compete for yrs
i don't know why novice is not just for first time only
but really I had fun I was bullshitting with everyone considering I've been in a dazed funk for awhile it was really cool I was so comfortable naked lol

i accomplished my goal, lots of people commented on my condition for my first time and also my posing I knew I wouldn't have size so I wanted to focus on those things and presentation which I was so comfortable I did that ok too!

i did get a sign by Jay trophy axe for placing in my class it was so cool so is he!

my family never thought I could do this and seeing my onstage was emotional for them even my brother as we always think of my dad and how he couldn't believe it ether

what at an experience an I can't believe it's done it feels like a real sense of closure that I followed through with this on the other hand it opened up a new lifetime commitment of diet and training and competing again( misus the shaving)


i followed Shelby protocol all the way to the end right after I hit up oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies they had backstage lol

took a shower and went with my wife to TGIF it was only thing open and reasonably priced close by

i didn't kill as much as I though but got stuffed pretty good but really not that much I had been eating rice cakes and almond butter pretty much all day which was good as shit but got tired of it at the end


yes thirsty as shit too lol well I up sweaty and hungry breakfast maybe dunkin donuts"................

big italian easter stern dinner and chilling lol

thanks again guys I though of each an decry one of you backstage if you guys were in the crowd and tried my best , I was a little shaky on my routine for some reason but confident nonetheless

got text all day from both Shelby and Kenny wanting updates and encourage me how cool is that two top names asking how I was doing a little fish

as cool as the support of you guys and RX fam has been!

Thanks agian truely appreciate it. Look for me in the contest gallery Jeff Binns was covering for rx and should have some good pics!

I also wanna thank SandPig he was a huge help backstage talking to a familiar face and hooking me up! He is really a good dude!
He also introduced me to Dave B madman guy Jays buddy

Dude, congrats!

First time competing is a real rush.

BTW, novice is not just for beginners. It's open to anyone that has never won a class before.

So technically, a ten year vet could still be a novice if he never wins anything.

Correction. Novice is for anyone who has not won a novice overall. You can enter even if you've won your class.

I won't argue with you. I'm no expert, but that wasn't the answer given to some of the competitor's who asked about it last night.

[guruhonza]

Congratulations for exceeding yourself! Such a inspiration in hard work and dedication so strong that obstacles just make the journey more fun.

Thats the NPC rules. I wasn't aware of that and entered novice in my second show. Someone informed me and I had to pull out of novice because my first show I won the overall.

Accomplishing your goal completed, now its time to see what Rich V2 has to say for the future and next time on stage! Congrats Rich and enjoy some good food on easter today.
Time for more polish donuts!

At the buffet lol
bush is right you have to win an overall. I know the guy who placed 2nd won the class last year and has been competing in 7 or 8 shows as a novice. I don't get it there should be a class of first timers only it would be more interesting to watch and actually compete in in my eyes.
