Bandit’s Contest Prep Log - 18 & 20 weeks out

Godspeed dude. I'd be bouncing off the walls right now with either adrenaline or anxiety (and possibly exhuastion) so I'm going to wish you some calm and peace so that you can really enjoy this whole adventure without too many negative distractions.

All the best man. 💪

Base tan applied and it came out fantastic. I’m already dark as fuck with 1 coat. I guess the tanning bed paid off. Second coat at 6:15am tomorrow.

Currently at athlete registration. Weighed in a 198.4lbs. A bit disappointed to find out only 10 competitors registered for bodybuilding. As a result all competitors will be split into just 2 classes. Classic seems to be taking over. Nonetheless still gonna be hitting that stage with the same mindset 👍

Pre judging done. Pretty big class of 10 guys. They combined LHW, HW & SHW into one class.

Made first call out. Looking like 3rd or 4th. IMO, I had the best condition in the line up however, was out muscled by top 2. At the moment just have some screen grabs from a video my coach took.

That's too bad about the weight categories being put together. Those big guys should be in their own. That said, you look crisp, so let's see how she goes.

Hey at the end of the day would have to be able to hang with the big boys to win the overall anyways. I’m kinda glad I had the opportunity to compare against them. Some offseason motivation. Burning hot fire lit under my ass

You looked incredible, most conditioned and I think best mid-section.
 
2 meals before finals

M1
Five guys cheeseburger & fries
8oz diet coke

Scale up 0.2lbs 2 hours after this so we’re loading more

M2
140g COR
30g whey
20g honey
30g nut butter
Regular salt
And for now just the water it makes to make the cor how you like it but it shouldn’t be more than 8oz

After that will likely just do some RKTs, honey, candies and a little water/salt 30-60 mins before hitting the stage again.
 
Thats awesome man.
Did you get to talk to any of the other guys? I'm curious how long they have been competing.
They have you on size on a few shots but you're definitely holding your own. Hard to tell with the quality of the pics.
On to the evening show. Do/are they having comparisons at the evening show also or just the awards ?

Chatted with a few guys.

The guy beside me in the callout is Smokey from CJM I’m sure you’re familiar with.

As far as I understand the guy who’s slated to win has been at it for years and has won a few other shows this year.

I’m sure they will have comparisons again for finals but I’m not sure if they’ll be moving anyone around. They didn’t even move anyone around at prejudging. I guess it was pretty clear who was placing where. I would have liked to get out through atleast a couple rounds but I think they wanted to make sure they were making good pace. Would make sense to waste time if they already had their minds made up.
