But it is a strain I'm not used to yet. We'll see

165 this morning

Still a couple pounds heavier than I was going into my last show. I'm not real sure why; I can't imagine one day of enjoying food again would pack on the pounds like this? I'm hoping it's just water retention that will subside when I get back on the Taraxatone.

**Rocco32** · 05-04-2005, 01:25 PM

It probably is water retention. Doesn't take much, especially when you've been dieting the way you have been

**musclepump** · 05-04-2005, 02:04 PM

Yeah, I'm hoping it was just that huge flux from low sodium to BOOM! MEXICAN FOOD! That'll subside... lol... since that show night though, even when I just drink a little water I feel bloated. Doesn't take anything anymore to make me feel full.

**P-funk** · 05-04-2005, 06:51 PM

yea, the worst part about being that lean is that anything you eat or drink you can automatically see on you...lol

**musclepump** · 05-04-2005, 07:20 PM

How long does seeing what you eat, last?

**musclepump** · 05-05-2005, 02:26 PM

164 this AM

**musclepump** · 05-05-2005, 03:41 PM

Ok, this is the point where I start getting nervous. One last show to try and get a trophy...

**musclepump** · 05-05-2005, 09:31 PM

Standing naked in front of my keyboard, letting my protan dry.. ah, so fun.

**musclepump** · 05-06-2005, 10:08 AM

Packing up, ready to cross the mountains and pose. Here we go...

**musclepump** · 05-06-2005, 11:00 AM

I'm going to really try and take in more carbs the morning of the show. I feel I looked a little flat, as seen in my gallery photos. Hopefully I'll come in a little fuller, and drier.

**Rocco32** · 05-06-2005, 11:10 AM

You'll do great buddy. Good luck and knock'em dead!

**musclepump** · 05-06-2005, 11:39 AM

Thanks man

**sara** · 05-06-2005, 10:48 PM

Good luck

**Rissole** · 05-07-2005, 11:11 PM

All the best MP, Own it

**musclepump** · 05-08-2005, 03:54 PM

Thanks everyone for the support. I'm pretty sure this journal has come to a close; I'm done competing. Both shows are over and I'm shoveling in food now at an unprecedented rate. It was a great process and one hell of a journey--I didn't bring home any trophies like I wanted, but I learned a lot. I think I may start another journal next week when I get back in the pool and in the gym (I'm taking a week off right now) just to keep my own tabs. You're all welcome to follow along, of course

**Rissole** · 05-08-2005, 04:03 PM

Good on ya MP, Anyone who's competed deserves a trophey if you ask me

**musclepump** · 05-08-2005, 04:31 PM

It's definitely not for the faint of heart!

**Rocco32** · 05-08-2005, 04:40 PM

Good job buddy. So will you compete again next year? Did you have to do a posing routine?

**musclepump** · 05-08-2005, 05:05 PM

I may do it again next year, I don't know. I'm natural, but I like big shows, so it's tough. Especially when you're 6-feet tall like I am.

I did do a routine, and was actually in the running for the Best Poser award.

**Rocco32** · 05-08-2005, 05:14 PM

Yeah, I'm 6 foot also. Great job for being in the running for best poser. What song did you pose to?

**sara** · 05-08-2005, 05:36 PM

Great Job for being a natty!

**musclepump** · 05-08-2005, 05:40 PM

I posed to my own spliced mix... Olympic theme song with some Armageddon end track. I did a lot of "Greek-like" poses which the crowd loved. It was awesome--I only had about five people in the audience that knew me, but the entire auditorium (sold out) was clapping, screaming, cheering. Awesome crowd.

**Rocco32** · 05-08-2005, 05:44 PM

That's so awesome buddy. You definately have to do it again next year. Are you married?

**musclepump** · 05-08-2005, 06:19 PM

Yep, I'm married. Why?

**Rocco32** · 05-08-2005, 06:22 PM

Just wondering what the support system was for you. I'm married also and each time I've "tried" I know she's been a big help to me.

**musclepump** · 05-08-2005, 07:22 PM

Aye, my wife is my biggest fan
