People...that is "SAD"....this guy just won the national SHW title and nobody has congrat him...we're all better people than that...check out his pics...thanks so much for posting them...that didn't happen overnite or by fluke....it is straight out hard work.

Hey loutfi, you also made huge impression on my LHW buddy Ram just by taking some time to have a chat with him...all the best and will continue to follow your progress. Don't be shy about letting us all know whats up for you next..

6-10 pounds of competition weight may take Leigh 2 years as a full blown natural. That's a lot of muscle.

trust me,
10 pounds of muscle won't come in 2 years natural unless you just picked up a weight yesterday. also, 10 pounds is ALOT on anyone, let alone someone who is 115 to begin with. Don't make the mistake of trying to be 5 pounds heavier next year, because it will likely mean your 3-4 pounds softer.

I agree with you. People don't fully understand what 5,10lbs translates into.

When I talk to kids who want to put on 10lbs during the summer I tell them it's impossible. I tell them to go to the grocery store and buy 5lbs of ground beef and then I tell me to put some on their chest, shoulders, legs, back, etc. They'll quickly see just how much 5lbs looks on their frame.

Then I tell them to get those 5lbs they need to not miss a single meal, eat 6-7 meals a day every day, go to the gym 5 days a week and literally kill their body, to not go out and drink with their friends and to get as much sleep as humanly possible.

If they do all that they might gain 3lbs. 5 is a whole nother world of hurt lol

As for big Ron....Many of you post in the sense that it is the judges not "giving" it to him. To get a pro card you have to earn it. Yes, Ron is awesome, but you have to remember, competing year after year will not guarantee you a top spot. "Paying your dues" will also not get you a card. I saw the pics, and yes, Ron looked equally as good as he ever has - slightly more ripped even. But there are always up and comers who will steal that spot from him unless he puts on a lot of muscle AND keeps his conditioning.

As mentioned, a couple years away from dieting may be the best thing to do at this point. Otherwise, there will be some up and comers who will steal the show year after year. Especially because the overall winners of the future will likely continue to be even bigger and better than the overall winners of yesteryear.

On another note, I don't think the 2nd card was not given because the masters are in 2 weeks. Masters were always awarded a card and that won't change. The 2nd card is given when someone is deserving. If they had to give another card, it would have likely been the SWH or the 2nd place heavy. And since the 2nd place HW will likely win in 2 weeks, the judges I am sure felt no one else was quite ready to get that card.

I gave Loutfi his props!

He looked great!

[MuSuLPhReAk]

Well congrats on your win Loutfi.

As I stated in the pm. A lot of us had just heard about you when you won the FCPAQ provincials. It was a very impressive win and we're hoping to see more from you in the future. I did some research on you and I'm quite impressed at how long you've been at this. Also at the many different places you've competed. I'll try to get as much of a complete history of your shows for your profile but may need your help to get them all.

Loutfi!.. Did you see the pic I posted from Weigh in? it's in this thread!

Steve and Nate.. that's why we think she is taking a year off... 2012 she can come in middle with some big gains... or she can decide if taking the "next step" is appropriate at this point... either way, Im proud of her and what she accomplished!

I'm Glad Melody won her card! She wanted it really bad.. and I believe she will be a working Pro! Also Melody.. Thanks for all your help and advice for us! You are a wealth of information!

Praetorian may have something to say about that lol
