I am very pleased to have so many comments on my thread.. At first I wasn't going to compete at this show.. Then a couple of you guys really encouraged me to do so.. I really didn't think I could diet again so soon after indulging for a couple of days but now that I have done it I wouldn't change it for the world. It's an amazing feeling being up on the stage.. And even better when you can hear your friends, family and sponsor cheering you on. I had so much support that day which only added to my confidence which I am glad showed on stage. I put very little time into my posing routine and actrually improvised 3 quarters of it. The first 4 poses were my routine and the rest was how I wanted it there and then!
I met some great people back stage also, and even someone local to train with
. Carly was at the show and looked in great shape but I didn't get a chance to see her on stage. James L's guest pose was absolutely phenominal and although there is going to be the best UKBFF showdown this year, I think it's Jame's turn.
The support I have recieved throughout this thread and my journey has been so incredible. I really cannot thank you all enough. I joined these boards over 2 years ago now to ask about T5s.. I thought steroids made your willy smaller and turned you into arny over night. I also thought I knew alot about nutrition and training but boy was I wrong. I in myself feel I have come a long way, my knowledge on nutrition, training and "the icing on the cake" have really improved and I only have you lot to thank for that. I can only continue to learn from you all and better myself in this off season and comepte again in the near future with a more solid package.
Thank you all so much.
