1 day to go....

Had a great day today, if a little hectic.
Both Nic and I awoke at around 3am starving hungry so decided to chat for an hour or so before I got up.
Breakfast was my normal, oats, Total Protein and peanut butter.

The rest of the day has seen me eat every 2-2.5 hours and had a mix of oats and vitargo spread on rice cakes....A true carb fest!!

I have again only taken in around 500g of carbs today and probably around 200g of protein and very little fat.

Tonight we hit the restaurant next door and had what was quite possibly the best fillet steak I have ever had. I had (of course) the fries and 2 bread rolls and a diet coke. I have drunk around 5 litres so far today and wont drink a lot more just enough to quench my thirst and replace any lost fluid that I expel tonight.

We went to the competitors hotel in Downtown Columbus today and met with a few of the pros (had photos taken etc) We shared a lift with JJ and had a chat with him. They all seem very friendly and very relaxed.
After a quick chat with Phil Heath I had my photo taken and put my arm around him. The man was like granite. I can honestly say that it didn't feel human. You could feel his spinae erectors and his lower lats they felt like stone, yet his face is fat and happy looking!!!

This guy is going to walk the Arnold.

After a chat with Bill and Wanda Nic and I walked the short walk to the memorial halls where the weigh in and competition will take place tomorrow.
As has been mentioned I weighed just over 89kgs but over here you have to weigh in your trunks only, just as well cos I would have been taking my clothes off anyway to make the weight!!

Just as I was making my way back from the weigh in to Nic I was grabbed by a guy who PM'd me and is the photographer and camera man for MD TV. He's a really cool guy and straight away a mic was thrust into my face by none other than Flex Wheeler. I couldn't quite take it in. Here was unknown little old me being interviewed by one of THE best ever BBers that walked the planet.

I think I came across OK but was a little nervous but didn't have too much time to worry as there was no warning!
He was a cool guy and also mentioned the thread on MD and how I had caused a bit of a stir and got a lot of exposure in the US. Bill and Wanda also told me I was in the American Flex issue 2 months ago and also in the IFBB news letter this week; so much seems to go on without you ever hearing about it.

Anyway it was all a little bit overwhelming today and now its time to go back to the room and await Phil who has just landed.

BTW we also just bumped into Scott Horton and his wife in the restaurant. It was great to see them both and have a chat. They both seemed really excited about the next few days. Pat Warner was also with them and a couple of other guys so the Brits are coming and will be making some noise tomorrow that's for sure!!!

Littleluke · 29-02-2008, 12:11 PM

You're so lucky James! I'm so jealous! Although you have made your own luck by building such an incredible physique.

I can't waigt to take you up on that meal, I'll be eating with a pro bodybuilder

squat_this · 29-02-2008, 12:28 PM

I live in columbus and haven't heard anything as far as prejudging goes. i am surprised nobody is posting up pics and what not at this point. i couldn't make prejudging but will be there tomorrow to see him take it hopefully.

Nine Pack · 29-02-2008, 08:17 PM

James made the top five & is through to the finals tomorrow!!

Good lad, I knew he had it in him. He tells me that Darren Ball missed his class, but quite why I don't know yet. I believe he is inconsolable, as you would expect. I can't imagine what caused this to happen.

Give em hell tomorrow James, keep pushing to the wire. You can hold your own with the worlds best. I'm so proud.

That's fantastic news for James. I'd have been surprised if he didn't make top five, however.....
