Change of plans…
My original goal was to get down to 198 lbs., but that’s not going to happen. I’m still keeping that option open for the Team Universe, because that weigh-in is Thursday with prejudging on Friday. That gives a whole day to fill out after starving/depleting water - something I don’t do anymore because it just makes you look flat. Right now (Thursday night) my weight is 208, so losing 10 pounds tomorrow just isn’t happening.
On the positive, I’ve NEVER been this hard at this weight, so I think I’ll still be competive in the heavies. A local friend who owns a nutrition store will be in my class for the next two shows. This guy’s a monster, about 5′7" and will squeek in at 225 lbs.. It will depend on what the judges go for, but I’m keeping focussed on bringing my best package irrelevent of who I’ll be standing next to.
