Greater Knox BB Classic Results/thoughts
They put on a great show this year , a great giant movie screen were they played an awesome video with Pro BBers and movie clips of giant wave surfers cars , bikes , football , and so on it was the best i have seen yet.
They had James Ward as guest poser , and Peter Putnam and his pretty wife were there , they gave the competitors nice gift bags this year lots of goodies.
I did not place but deserved not to place i was not ready and was beat down by the previous show in June , i still had a great time my family and friends enjoyed it and i met Tennguy from the boards.
There was 8 or 9 in my class J middle , i was 187 lbs , had to sit in the sauna and run the parking lot at weight in to make weight.
Next year i will make BATR my best showing yet , ill have time to prepare and it will be the only show ill do in 08 , this year i learned a lot how much my body can take and 8 monthsc diet 2nd show 6 weeks after the first was just to much for me , next year i owe my friends myself and family a better placing.
But ill post some pics tomorrow of James Ward , my self even though i was not happy with my conditioning for this one , i did learn a lot more i stepped way outside my comfort zone with my night routine and the crowd loved it they cheered the entire time my freinds were proud of me since i showed guts for stepping outside my box , i was shocked watching it the next day , but my family friends loved it since it was so out of my character.
Anyways pics later , got fitness girl pics too , ill post up my night routine now let me know what you think good or bad.

drink a little wine and your good to go. I ate a xanax the night before to help sleep and it carried over to the next day and helps with anxiety.

The wine will also dry you out some.
The wine will also dry you out some. ive heard that.. i knew that alcohol was a diuretic
screw it, first show in two weeks i should just get wasted.. ill enjoy it a ton more
Thanks guys , funny you mention xanex , i was on 1/2 a bar and sutter homes wine , i was not nervous at all , the only challenge was remembering my routine , that i winged towards the end.
The novice class always seems to be a large class , they were very up on there diets too, they looked good and it was a tuff class this year , i'm glad you placed and do better in the years ahead.
I'm not going to state , i live in GA , my next show will be ' Battle at the River ' June 8th 08 , that will be my best showing yet.
The winner of the teen class was incredible , he had it all , and deserved his win.
I had 2 burgers with 2 orders of fries , 5 margaritas , 2 shots of padrone , desert , and queso dip appetizer , 2 cup cakes and a snickers bar all at chilli's , then we went clubbing.
I still plan on posting pics up today.

I was there!
Hey, I attended that show- I was at the booth handing out free passes to the Rush (a gym in the area). It was a great show. OP, I remember your routine, the audience loved that you just had fun with it. The video at the beginning was great, too. Peter and Jessica were great, as was James. He is not only a great bodybuilder, but a VERY nice, sweet guy who is always willing to help people out. (My fiance works with him at the UT police department, so I am lucky and get to hang out with him sometimes!!) Anyways, GREAT job OP and everyone at the show. And next year, look for me, I will be winning the figure show, haha! ( :

I will be cheering for you , and hopefully get my pic taken with you after you win :).
Thanks again , cya soon

And next year, look for me, I will be winning the figure show, haha! ( : I remember seeing you there if thats you in your avatar. you workout at the west club?
Yes very good job Rob your routine was one of the best there! I really like to see the competitor's get into it. It was a good show this year, I did however think the conditioning was terrible from most of the guys, but hey at local shows there is always that handful that looked like they walked out of the crowd put some Dream Tan on went...
The Battle of the River is going to be VERY GOOD next year.
I will compete again Prolly Open Middle's ( warm up for Nationals)
Sagliano ( Overall winner of Greater Knox 2006) will be doing the Open as well.
Little brother will be there as well, he has never placed lower than 2nd in any show he has done.
Should be a good time next season, Rob sorry I did not get to catch up with you all of us carpooled and I had to go with the guys I rode down with.
u looked like u had fun man
thats my biggest fear going on stage, being to nervous and blowing my routine Your routine is not what you should be worried about. Work on your mandatories for pre-judging, that is where the placings are decided.
I remember seeing you there if thats you in your avatar. you workout at the west club? Yes, I work out at the west club and also personal train there. You work out at that club too?

Yes i understand , but my conditioning for this show was terrible as you will see in the pics , and i was ok with that , it has been a tuff year for me , like i said i have some time and will do much better next year i owe it to everyone including myself.
Thanks for the input, i was just having fun knowing i would not place , and it did my self confidence good.
