In the spring again. It has been 2 years since my last comp, but I've made some major improvements since then.
I'll be noticed, I plan on walking on stage at 245lbs or greater. Hopefully more like 255. I'm 6'2" though. lol.
Been in the BB scene for the last 13 years.

your age should work to your advantage. Many pros don't peak until there 30's.

man those shows are weak especially the hwt and superhwt. no legs and back development

I've done the caveman and the southern states. Southern states had a lot more good physiques in it. Emerald cup is even tougher. Just my .02.

Emerald cup is in my neck of the woods. You better be top dog if you plan on going to that one!

big al what year did you do the caveman

bigassdelts · #15 (**permalink**) 08-29-2002, 06:23 AM

judging in missouri is horrible. 2001 was the only tough year at red river ,i look at pictures from previous years 1/2 and 1/2,but the caveman is top shelf.i get the npc magazine southern states and emerald cup the lighter guys rule.

dpsquat · #16 (**permalink**) 08-29-2002, 11:09 AM

You need to locate wyldeone.. he did my prep for the jr nationals and the usa's.. dude knows his stuff email for more info

big-al · #18 (**permalink**) 08-29-2002, 05:02 PM

I did the caveman, I think 3 years ago. Kevin Levrone was guest poser that year. I also thought the judging there was the worse I have seen at any contest. There was too many obvious misses. I worked out at the Ultimate gym in St. Louis (actually Hazelwood i think), but the owner and one of the guys that worked there said the same thing. They had people competing but they would compete elsewhere.

bigassdelts · #19 (**permalink**) 08-29-2002, 08:58 PM

big al i proably know you and we know some of same bb ,the head judge trains guys and then judge them thats bs.i know a lot good bb who say they will never do a show in missouri again .it is good to have a midwest bb to chat with maybe we can trade some diet tips and training tips .may next show is in april a weak show the irongames in oklahoma plan to 240-248lbs.:kickass:
