Pics from First Competition

redrocks · 03-21-2004, 11:46 PM

Alrighty folks!
Well, the day and night were interesting, to say the least! I had a blast on the stage, I think I'm addicted, officially! I loved being up there. Here are some pics taken just after I did my routine at night. I've got some from the morning show, too, just trying to get them onto the old computer!

redrocks · 03-21-2004, 11:48 PM

Here is me and Randy, his bicep is officially as large as my head! I've known the man for six + years now and we have reached a pinnacle point in our relationship-at least 100 pounds apart!

redrocks · 03-21-2004, 11:51 PM

I was told by the head judge and others that I need more back width...I won't disagree at all, but it did get shredded-check it out!

redrocks · 03-22-2004, 12:05 AM

Here's the morning show pics that turned out the best-I was pretty dern dry, and it was soo much fun! I ended up in the heavy weights, and welcome all comments, more importantly criticisms...hoping to win this show next year!

redrocks · 03-22-2004, 12:11 AM

Last one, I promise-the side view-I can see now that I should have had my chest going more here, the video will fuel the fire even more and help me figure out what I did a poor job of showing off-the time on the stage went by so quickly!

Randy was awesome thru the whole diet and show days-and even better in the crowd...can you tell he was going for the biggest guy out there award!?? He definitely had the biggest set of lungs-thanks Man!

rugbythug · 03-22-2004, 12:14 AM

Very Lean-Great Condition. That is one of the hardest parts. Now you get to eat and put on some more muscle-That is the fun Part!

**Ken "Skip" Hill** · 03-22-2004, 03:27 AM

VERY dry in the upper body - excellent job there, RR.

You said this was your first comp so make sure that you find what you can do better or differently the next time BUT do not take anything away from yourself for this first show.

Not many can get that dry on the first go round.

Congrats to you and I am already looking forward to seeing your improvements when you step on stage next time.

Enjoy yourself, RR.

Props to Randy as well.

Skip

First comp? You look great. I haven't seen to many that can come in that lean and dry for thier first.

Great job.

redrocks · 03-22-2004, 11:08 AM

Like Skip said-props to Randy...I told him Friday that I almost felt like I was "cheating" b/c he has so much knowledge from trial and error. On the other hand, if I do something I do it right, and I was lucky b/c all I had to do was really listen to the Big Dawg!

VA Maddog · 03-22-2004, 07:17 PM

You look great RR! Your conditioning was outstanding - better abs than 90% of the women on stage - really great for your first show.

Randy is indeed a smart large person. Now you can watch him apply his magic to himself as he melts away all of the extra porky pig cushioning that he adds during the long cold winter - lol

Of course Skip puts Randy to shame when it comes to off-season added size and he even changes color!

**SweatMachine** · 03-22-2004, 07:19 PM

Damn girl thats a nice tight mid section!

You look great......Honest!

I believe the Skipster is trying to keep the off-season bulk to less than 40lb over contest weight this season. He is the master of the chameleon-like color change, though. I bet he has to drop down a couple lb's to stay under the weight limit and compensate for the all the Dream Tan he's got on.

Skip, how many coats do you do?...

Who the guy in the pic next to you with the big gut - J/K

I certainly hope that he isn't the one who put that pig head on that gorgeous bod of yours!!

It was all her, Xcel. LOL.

As long as the rest of me grows with the gut, I'm good. The gut will be gone soon enough and I'll be missing it dearly... LOL

you look great RR!!

pumpseeker · 03-23-2004, 12:51 PM

I'm impressed! Your conditioning was superb. Congrats on doing an amazing job at your first show! And nice work Randy!

As far as what to work on, yes, you need more back width. Your arms, chest, abs, and delts look great. Legs could use more mass though.

cat · 04-08-2004, 08:20 PM

First show! Congratulations to you! Very dry as Skip has metioned.

What's your plans for future competitions?

redrocks · 04-09-2004, 02:55 PM

Thanks Cat!
I want to do the same show next year and win it-I'm betting I can add a good 10lbs of muscle b/t now and then. In the mean time, I'm competing in a bench press competition tomorrow! This will be the lightest my bodyweight has been for one of these in a while and I'm *hoping* to bench at least 170.
I've had some back problems since the show (too much food in my belly) but I want to start squatting and deadlifting some bigger weights. I've always been able to bench more than I squat and I have to rectify that soon!
RR

cat · 04-09-2004, 06:14 PM

Wow, you're STRONG!! Well, good luck hon!! I'll be thinkin' of ya!! Where's the show and what'dya weigh now?

I'm nosey LOL ~

redrocks · 04-10-2004, 01:56 AM

Cat-its a powerlifting tomorrow-at a hotel here in town out west...I'm weighin' about 140 now, think I was about 128 on stage, been eating like a champ and hopefully will kick some butt tomorrow. I had a little run-in today with a mountain, tried to climb it and it didn't want to be climbed, but my best friend is also a Mr. Fix-it when it comes to bodywork so I got pampered and will hopefully be strong tomorrow! I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the well wishes!
RR

cat · 04-10-2004, 02:35 PM

Wow...that must've been some mountain LOL ~ rr ~ yeah, keep us posted...I'm anxious to hear how ya kicked booty!
