Derek Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Check out these shots from my first bodybuilding contest! The prejudging shots were: photos numbered 73-90 (I'm on the right) http://www.photoreflect.com/store/Orderpage.aspx?pi=08LP005Y050072&po=72&pc=112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I know you're not complaining....but I can't believe the little guy placed above you. You have so much more muscle, more balance, more thickness, more everything. I just don't get it..... Looking great in your photos man! If you were on stage with me in any of the shows I won, you would have won. No doubt about it! Like I said on the phone....placings don't matter that much. On the same day, on another stage, you could have easily been in 1st place. Now you have your prior self to compete against next time. Never worry about placings. Have fun, inspire others (as your photos and your physique and positive attitude does) and work to improve each and every time out. You'll be amazed at how you'll grow as a person too. All the best! You rock man! I'm really proud of you! Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegimator Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah, you look the best of the three dudes in these photos. Congrats! Way to represent and hopefully you don't get robbed next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well done man, looking huge and way to represent. The best vegan physique I've ever seen. I'm not really much into bodybuilding but to me it looks like you'd easily have won over the black guy. But the other white guy I would say his back looks thicker, but you've got him on the chest. But I don't really know what they look for in these competitions! Looking forward to see you progress from here, you're already huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thank you so much everyone! Your support really means a lot to mean. Yes, this defeat was disappointing, but like you said Robert I'm not complaining because it is fantastic fuel for the fire. I had an awesome quad workout today I'll post in my journal, and every time it got really tough I just reminded myself of my third place! I will come on stage with a better physique than this the next time, and I'd like to blow away the competition as icing! . Robert, I'm honored in your faith that I'd be a worthy opponent, but I don't know about beating you! My arms have never been near 17 inches! Thanks for everything guys - time to get better!!

Richard Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Surely no matter how unbiased judges try to be, even the most honest and fair person will still have their own preferences and what they consider to be more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
