Well, this weekend marked the first time I’ve ever competed. I didn’t know what to expect or exactly what the judges were looking for but I used this show as motivation to keep losing weight that I had put on over the years (I lost about 25-30lbs prepping for this).
I was very nervous to say the least… I was so intimidated by not only the girls but the judges, the energy surrounding the event and definitely those stairs leading to the stage!

But, I realized everyone was just as nervous as I was, and all the girls were so friendly and even helped me with the last minute posing questions I had. Everyone was so nice I immediately felt at ease.

I honestly was not expecting to place at all being my first show and all. I went in hoping for the best and knowing that I worked hard to get to where I am with my physique was reward enough. I am not sure I have ever been more excited in my life, I am still in shock that I was 1st place! I know I have weak areas that still need a lot of work and will keep pushing to bring a better package.

I will be competing again this weekend in NY at the Team Universe competition, which to be honest is kind of frightening. I know the show is larger and the competition greater but I will go in with the same hopes as this past weekend, try to relax and enjoy the whole experience of it all.

I spotted this Atlantic City Pro review by curt_james on the Usenet misc.fitness.weights newsgroup recently, and am reposting it here with his permission. Enjoy!
“Attended the Atlantic City Pro Saturday. Got there about a half-hour after the start of the evening show, but still had a fantastic time. Lots of pics, but they’re all on a disposable camera. Picked up a Kodak “Plus Digital” at a service station along the PA Turnpike near Philly. Dropped it off at the grocery store’s photo kiosk an hour ago. (Anonymoose, take note!)
Yaxeni Oriquen, Chris Cormier, Troy Alves, and old school bodybuilder Leon Brown of Pumping Iron fame were all gracious enough to pose for pics. Took some pics of the audience as well as shots of the on stage action, but I’m sure they’re all tiiiiny and probably blurry, too.
Also met Victor Munoz, Yaxeni Oriquen’s and Victor Martinez’s trainer, who was at the show. Check out Pro-Edge.net for Munoz’s website.
The star of “Super Size She,” Joanna Thomas, competed, placing 4th in the under 135-pound category.
Never heard of “Super Size She”?

Lisa Aukland won the ladies’ competition and Johnnie O. Jackson won the men’s pro thus qualifying for the Mr. Olympia which will take place September 28 in our own David Cohen’s back yard of Las Vegas!
Women’s 8th place under 135-pound competitor, Giusy Caputo of Sicily, posed for pics with 11th place under 135′er Claudia Partenza and both signed an autograph on this fanboy’s program. 
Six hours of round-trip drive time, but it was very much worth it, imo.
Om, lots of MD staff on hand, but I didn’t recognize more than the faces. You would probably know who they were from the magazine.

Johnnie adds another title to his belt with this show. He won the Montreal show last year and adds his second pro victory in Atlantic City.

1. Johnnie Jackson
2. Darrem Charles
3. David Henry
4. Melvin Anthony
5. Craig Richardson
David Henry will now make is way to the Olympia as he is now qualified. Johnnie and Darrem were both qualified. Melvin placing 4th is the story of this show. Will this hurt his chances at the Olympia? It certainly didn’t help…
