    I finally subscribed to his YouTube channel.... he's the only guy worth watching out there.
    Hope he comes in "haaadah" than the competition and returns to the top.

    I'll tell you exactly what happened. Nothing at all.
    The problem is the expo lighting. The lighting really only allows for judging silhouette's, since I don't have the most impressive silhouette i.e. Wide shoulders , narrow waist) I lose these comparisons. As soon as the light is good my body comes to life & I compare a lot more favorably to the top guys. That's why I will benefit from being judged on the main stage during prejudging at The Olympia. The results will be different.

    Lighting is everything on stage, especially since posing is the performance of a magician. As a competitor, you need to control what your audience does & doesn't see. With poor lighting, you cannot do that.

    Exactly! I'm not making excuses, I could've been better & that's all I need to focus on but bad lighting definitely does not favor my type of physique.

    that's why the internet is such a cruel place for ifbb pros...they are just judged on a set of pictures without any context. thanks for coming on here and posting!

    Personally Jose...I thought you won anyway. Bad lighting or not.

    Thanks, I don't think I won but I certainly think it was a lot closer than the camel crew would have you believe!

    It is inexcusable that lighting isn't top notch at a contest like the Arnold Classic.
