Thanks for inviting me to your site.
Thank you to all of you for supporting me during my Olympia preparation. I am sorry I let myself and all of you down.
With my experience, what happened to me at the Olympia should not have happened to a pro. I stupidly took advice from the tanning people after the press conference. I am the darkest pro bodybuilder so I have to use a tan to make me lighter to go on stage. I usually use just dream tan and a little bit of oil on my skin, just before I go on stage. This time I was adviced to use Jan Tan, one coat on Thursday and another on Friday morning, before pre judging. I was told that would make me look better than the dream tan I was using before. I took the advice and had 2 coats of tan on. This cost me dearly!
Hotel rooms are not best known for their good lighting, especially if you are as dark as I am so I was not able to realise that the tan has actually made me look darker. I was so dark and with the black curtain background, Peter McGough said he could only see my teeth on the stage!
The thick layer had covered all my cuts when I looked at myself in the proper lights backstage. By then, it was too late. I had to just hope and pray. I looked like I had not dieted for a day!
I have learnt my lesson and will never make that misteke again.
Thanks to all of you for supporting me.

I am quite sure that every bodybuilder in the world has had a day they'd sooner forget. I am quite sure that even Arnie is slapping himself on the head and saying "Did I really have to compare bodybuilding with events you usually find in a bedroom?"

But like Arnie, I am sure that for every downday you have, you will have several updays

You are a true competitor, Eddie. Like you, I learned from my mistakes during my last pro show. I was out posed by a man who weighed 25 pounds less than me. I worried about him, instead of focusing on myself. Never again. We'll both be back.

Eddie, I found your Mr. O debut very good. I think that you were one of the most over looked on the stage that night.

learn from error= bodybuilding... I hope you will be at your best to the next 0.
sorry its like a newbie question but I want to ask a pro because I'm bored to watch the teen section on bodybuilding.com...lol

I'm 18 year old, 6'3'' 205 lbs 12% bodyfat, and I have a lv1 coach export certification.I gain 30 lbs since I'm bodybuilding(6 month). I want to cut more and keep maximum muscle gain while I'm cutting so, I'm not in a hurry. What you do...(calorie intake, the pace of your cardio session, the lenght of your training and wich moment of the day,etc??)

Thanks to all of you guys for your comments.
Lynsey, yes, I do remember Hungary. I have not seen you around for a while. What contest are you thinking of doing next year? I shall let Carmen know.
I hope to do the Ironman again next year and probably Sacramento. Not decided yet.
Btw Lynsey, all that ice cream in Hungary that year, went right through me, lol. I had lots of problems after that.
