cool, sean - I have a lot of pics of you in the full lineup, and in the 2nd grouping. I think you'd have done well in mids!
I was right over by you, 4th row. Let me know if you want me to email you the pics... it'll be a couple mb worth, probably, if your email account can handle it!

Congrats guys
Congrats to bigdan and sean. Great job on placing in the top 5 bigdan! Sean - you would have probably kicked butt at the top of the middies - next time you'll be where you want to be with a little help and some extra experience under your belt.
Anyone who competes and gets on stage in decent condition deserves a pat on the back.

In sean's defense, he did everything he was asked to do without fail or hesitation. He has balls of iron. for only training 3 years, he will have a bright future in the sport if he wants to.
How we missed the cutoff, I am still not sure. I have alot of sifting through of info to do and try to figure out what went wrong. he ended up only dropping about 3 pounds or so after cutting water on friday night. it seems to be a water problem, at least at this early stage. as he puts more size on, he will continue to improve and move up in placings.
I share sean's disappointment. everything went according to plan for 12 weeks and things fell apart in the final hours.
convince sean to post the pics of him a day after the show. they are little consolation, I am sure, but they looked pretty damned good.

sean looked very good at the show. he has to remember he is alot younger than the others there. he has a great start alot better than i did at his age. He just needs to stick to it and he will do fine. MEN's open lt hvy at a NAT QUAL. is very tough to start into. Determination will get you where you need to be for example it in Mon morn and i have already done cardio and looking foward to working legs this afternoon. I also want to say sean was alot harder at the night show than in the morn. I think he did a great job and should be very proud of how he looks.
Thanks for the support Dan and Skip--
One thing is for sure, I'm not giving up. It was a great experience and I learned a lot and I also held up my head and didn't run away from the light heavies even when I could have competed in the novice or junior class.
Next year I'm going to come in a lot bigger and harder and I'll be more prepared the second time around. I will post a picture of the day after shots like Skip said--they are my favorite pics by far and it is what I should have looked like on Saturday morning.
Either way, the competition was fierce and I'm looking forward to next year.
Dan you were awesome and I really appreciated talking with you at the show. I'm glad that you helped me out a little bit with things haha as you could tell I was a bit nervous at times.
Also, a HUGE thanks to SKIP. I couldn't have done any of this without him and he helped out TREMENDOUSLY. In all honestly he is what kept me going throughout this whole thing. Even though I got a bit mental at times he kept me sane and let me know that I was going to be OK. I am looking forward to working with him in the future and HIGHLY recommend him to anybody that needs/wants great personal training and attention to details. Thanks again, skip. I'm glad to know you.
