Mikes got a pic ( ok its a small one but its there ) in the Beef pg 32

Nice one Mike !!

The guy who came second and goes to Mikes gym looks like hes not been on a diet #

The winner looks awesome

I know i mailed him to let him know. I would have put Mike 2nd as the other guy looked a bit chub

Great achievement for Mike to have got up there and done it. Its one thing lots of us saying we would like to do it but i imagine the bottle it must take to actually do it is another thing nevermind the hard graft to get there.

Very true.

I admire anyone who completes and when the EFBB bring in the Cardigan Category, Mike's a shoo in for a win!

cant really understand why it needs bottle tbh. but thats me. If you got the desire - do it - nothing special in terms of having bottle.

KP i have to dissagree with you. How would you fancy standing in front a crowd of 1000+ in your pants?

theres hundreds of people every year plan on competing, diet and shit out of it at the last kick.

Surely you can understand that it take s a lot of bottle to get up there and do a show....and its difficult to copmpare it to many other things in life as you are walking out onto a stage in nothing but a pair of trunks...naked...with hundreds of eyes on you as you do your individual routine etc.

My biggest fear would be choking or shaking so much i couldnt keep still to hit the poses

What about messy hair? Uneven highlights?

my biggest fear about cometing is getting up there and needing the loo due to nerves

Or the lights exposing your thinning locks?

that is a total different issue - thats self confidence not balls.

If you got own self concious / confidence issues than hey - thats something else

But the fact that one trains hard, diets and gets on stage - in principle doesnt require balls. - I just dont relate to or understand the balls aspect on this bit. thats all

i dont htink it always is to do with confidence in yourself

to me stepping on stage (provided you look pretty good and have done your best) would be akin to the bottle requred to do a bungee jump. It would give you that same insane fight or flight responce that turns your belly inside out as you take the leap out onto the stage for the first time

Rab, if you ever bungee jump onto the stage as the start of your routine then you've got my vote guaranteed.

Thats an idea

I bet nobody has ever done a routine where they decent to the stage on rope from the rafters..with a pair of superman trunks on!

da dada da da, daaa da daaaaa

I can honestly say its the most terrifying experience, knowing you could potentially balls up your routine ect.

on saturday night last week i slept about 2 hours with the nerves, i got through the entier day on pure adrenaline.

But its also one of the most rewarding knowing all that graft and boring food shows your one of the best at what you do it feels amazing i must say, still cant get over im second best junior in britain in the npa :p

Cheers GP yeah the winner was outstanding, from the waist up. Paul who came 2nd place yeah I spoke to his trainer (Daz Ball) a few times and he says he just doesnt stick to his diet...he has no problem doing cardio etc but just loves his maccy D's too much lol either way he was bigger and far far thicker than me, from the waist up. Paul has done this show now 3-4 times I think and always comes in looking like he didnt diet.

The pic they used wasnt the best but hey ho I loved it and the white choc oreos I devoured after were fantastic!

shit mike you looked good mate!!! im in that issue of beef too from the yorkshire page 72 :p looked far better at british i must say
