WOW! you werent joking, i thought u meant he was going as a spectator.
Ive definetly heard of him, he competed at the australian nationals when kai greene was here and heard him name around a few arnold classics.
*EDIT, just wiki'd him, didnt realise he was ever based in adelaide, same sponsor as victor martinez!!
Practically got bodybuilding royalty in your family !

Thats gotta be ruff! An international flight while only taking in all of 1300 calories when your body is probably starving for 7000 a day.
Really dont know how these guys manage especially being on a plane with potentially nasty cramps.
Now that i know of the adelaide connecting ill be cheering for him and kai greene this year

Super!
My sister packs extra food so that he has something additional to eat on the flight.
But you are right,it is a hard trip and it's not optimal preparation.

TBH i thought he deserved top ten.
Obviously doesnt have the massive frame as some of the guys who have genetics well and truly on their side. But interms of conditioning id say he was easily in the top 5 and looked really dry. Just comes down to what the judges are looking for on the day i guess.

Hard to fathom the judges decisions some time.
I would have thought he would be top 10.
I keep hearing that some things are not kosher in the sport.

Yeah , sometimes judging can be more like FIFA deciding who is hosting a world cup, it becomes political. But this tends to be more so in the lesser events.

Sevengoals, is your brother in-law looking to qualify for Olympia again this season ? Was just talking about his the other week with a few mates that follow the sport, they had a soft spot for him having seen him at many aussie shows.
