update.........plllllllllllllllllllease:typing:

rightyho

Lol, update indeed.

Woke feeling reasonably good on the morning of the show but still holding a smidge of water. Weight was a fraction over 89kg.

Arrived early at the venue and had a big pee. Still holding a smidge of water.

Against everyone's advice I then proceeded to do something which effectively took me out of the competition - I popped a Lasix.

Figured it would drop me that last half a kilo.

Well, it did that all right - made the weigh-in at 88.2kg.

Unfortunately, Lasix doesn't have an off switch though and I continued to drop water and got flatter and flatter and flatter.

Two hours later when it was my turn to go onstage I went back to the tan-up room, looked in the mirror and wondered who was staring back at me.

Head went at this point completely and while my mate tried to convince me I still looked good, we both knew I'd fcuked it.

Slapped some tan on, walked out on stage, then realised a) I couldn't get a pump at all - it was like posing water rather than muscle fibres), b) my lower back had started holding water as it moved from compartment to compartment c) I was getting awesome cramps.

Felt like walking off stage but stayed on for the compulsories, then threw half a posing routine together cos the cramps feckin hurt, then went and got changed.

Bumped into a lad who was at the last show I did who told me pretty straight "you're off mate and you don't look well."

Got dressed, slunk back through the audience hoping no-one else I knew was there but got stopped twice - once by another competitor who told me he'd screwed up on Lasix before (was it THAT obvious, lol) and once by a lady moderator of another bodybuilding board I post on who was very nice but I think we both know her "you looked quite good up there" was just being polite.

Got back to where my mate and g/f were sat and another group beside them turned and said "well, you may have second, at the very worst third."

G/f and mate both said the same thing: close for second, but may end up with third.

Personally, I thought I should have had lower than last. I was disgusted with myself.

I didn't care by then though - I'd put 60 per cent of what I can be on stage, the cramps were killing me and I knew I'd look even worse by the evening show.

Even worse was the thought of getting an invite to the finals based on what I'd put out there - flat, watery, and unable to tense yet cramping freely.

So, I told the organisers I was out from cramp, which was completely true, and went home.

Mate, who competes, fully understood. G/f threw a wobbly about dieting for so long, throwing it away and not enjoying the day.

Try as I might, I couldn't get her to understand it was like turning up for a boxing match to find you'd made a mistake (your own mistake) which had resulted in someone robbing the hands from inside your boxing gloves.

Got home 3 hours later and got on the scales to find I was now 86kg and flat as anything.

Plans: to do any more UKBFF shows this year? Er, no.

Biggest apologies: to Paul Booth who spent the whole weekend prepping me by phone, and told me not to use the diuretic. Paul, I ignored you and you were right - I went from on the money to not even enough money to catch a bus.

Lessons learned: Lasix BADLY doesn't work for me. Listen to people that know better than you.

State of mind: In a way, this has a couple of positives as outlined below.

Lesson learned number one: It shows you absolutely MUST put your show prep trust and advice into the hands of one experienced person ONLY.

Lesson learned number two: It also taught me just how sh1t you can feel knowing you're onstage being judged by the judges and audience alike at 60 per cent of what you were the day before. Such a horrid, helpless feeling. And the good of that? That to be 100 per cent, you must do EVERYTHING right, in the right order, at the right time and refer to lesson learned number one.

I looked so sh1t I'm actually embarrassed to be on this board today.

Still, at least I can have a pizza now.

clarkey

Righty...keep you head up man we all live and learn by our mistakes, thats what makes us better people. Like I said to you on Thurs Lasix fu*cked me over big time 14 weeks of hard solid graft ruined in the space of 2 hours and guess what....I went and used it again at my last show looking for that 'magic pill' to make me look even better.....never ever ever again.

Don't give in mate you have an awsome physique and I have seen it with my own eyes at the Lincoln show. Take a few days out to contemplate and you never know you may decide to do either Lemington on Sat or Join me at Birmingham in 2 weeks. Either way your a winner mate for hacking the dieting and stepping on stage.

All the Best Bud...enjoy the pizza..

rightyho

Thanks Clarkey. Did you understand what I meant by trying to pose but being unable to tense or even feel the muscle. That was SOOO weird and scary.

The physique I had yesterday was a lot worse than the Lincoln show physique.

The physique I had the day before yesterday was a lot better than the Lincoln show physique.

So, in the space of one tablet, I did indeed sling it all away.

Said before, say again all my own fault.

Not having the pizza now, firmly back on the diet.

Cramps gone but man do my hamstrings hurt from where they locked up.

Will look at the last qualifier and bring what I had 2 days ago, plus another 5 per cent along even though my last post said I wasn't going to bother because I am quickly realising just how many GOOD people there are in this sport in terms of support and help. And I want to say it again - Paul Booth, man, he is one in a trillion.

G/f is still not talking to me, though.

Bulldozer

Chin up big guy.

I admire how open you are dude and i can tell your smart enough to learn from your mistakes. Im sure next time your nail it

LOL think our gfriends must have the same minds!!!! diet and comp does put a strain on most relationships im in the bad books today for snapping :(.

Yes mate I know exactly what you mean about not being able to pump up. Honestly it is the worst feeling I have experienced it was like I had a puncture in my arm no veins, no pump...flat as f#ck no matter what I tried...worst thing is you know how you could of looked and how you looked the day before... I was embarrased all my friends and family there to see me and I came out looking like a long distance runner!! fu#ck me worst feeling in the world...trust me you wont do it again. I competed last in April (came 2nd) the guy that beat me I should of wiped the floor with he was smooth and did'nt even wear any tan!! and he beat me because of my OWN stupid fault. I promised myself that I would take 2 years off after my last show as I need to bring my back up... but I just have to put things right and thats why Im competing again and decided to diet again (at the disgust of my girlfriend!! lol) anyway mate im going to watch the lemington show so if your there or at Birmingham it would be good to say hello.

Pip

Still being a slut dude?
Good luck K.

I will always look better though lol!!
