count down to the NPC Nationals. 11/20 and 11/21, Ft Lauderdale, FLA -- kent, 09:29:59 10/28/09 Wed [26]
Little over 3 weeks to go. Weighed in this am at 174 even. I want to make the welterweight class which is 165. I seem to be right on track. Last year I took 6th out of 32 guys. Top 5 do their routines on Saturday night. My goal is top 3. I have to make the first callout. Quarter turns and 60 second routine have to be perfect. Just did killer back workout and now its time for 90 minutes of cardio.
Later

Rumblings -- Gym Nazi, 17:07:27 11/10/09 Tue [4]
72 competitors, 100's in the crowd. Myself I throughly enjoyed the show. Seeing competitors from the spring and seeing how far they had come in there pursuit of personal excellence. You could see the trance formation in many. First time on stage for some, I could remember how I was in the first show I did. How nerves they were.
As the 2009 season comes to a close this month, it was a fitting show. As always Mike puts on the BEST competitions in the north east. Bring in competitors from several states. You have to ask why his show are so popular. I think the answer is because his put his all in to something the he lives and breaths Natural Bodybuilding. It’s so popular that even people that could never compete as Naturals come out to watch. Back stage is always lively and a great atmosphere to be in. All the volunteers that are there to help you look your best. Every one that helps with the set up and take down. The judges, all the support staff, all behind the scenes that make the production so successful. All who ask nothing in return, and make our experience a memorable one. An the competitor packages are worth more then the entry fee. The sculptured awards are something you can proudly display. I would like to see more that were there respond share there experience with others.
I did note that it was one of the biggest 40 classes I’ve seen in a while. The teen division is growing. The open classes are getting bigger and the heavy weights are getting it all together. I had a conversation with some one and we both agreed that we need more of an outlet for Natural Bodybuilding. More publications that promote the Natural way. After the death of Steel Jungle we lost a viable out let for Natural bodybuilding. If you post photos on youtube or facebook let us all no. Like this from 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udfhtCPowqE Or this from 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9itrKtSqJzg

Post Contest Bloat -- TRogers, 12:19:57 11/10/09 Tue [5]
Ok, since the NYS IX was my first show, I have to ask about AFTER the show. My lower legs from the knees down into the ankles are BLOATED with water pretty good! When I wake up in the AM, they are normal, but as the day goes on, I get that water BLOAT that makes my legs feel SUPER pumped. What can I do to get rid of the bloat and how long does it take? I am drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day now and am back on a CLEAN low cal (2000 cal) diet. Thx!

Calling "Coach Carter"... -- TRogers, 06:58:29 11/03/09 Tue [14]
What do most competitors eat on CONTEST DAY itself? I'm more interested in actual foods, not macros or amounts. And what do they do about 30 min before stage time for food? Sugar-salt-fat foods, (to get vascular and pumped?)
SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: March 27th, 2010 OCB "The Uprising" -- Ron Parmeter, 12:27:09 10/13/09 Tue [39]
Confirmed today March 27th 2010 I will be Promoting my first bodybuilding show. It will be held at Peru High School In Peru NY which is approximately ten minutes south of Plattsburgh. This will be an Amateur show for Men's and Women's Bodybuilding and figure classes.
In hopes of having an excellent show I have asked Craig Recore to Co-Promote with me. He is very ambitious and will help make this a great show. Due to the OCB rules I was unable to host a Pro Show. To do so I have to promote a show with at least 45 competitors. I am hoping to do so and host a Pro Show in the spring of 2011. The number of competitors have been down so I hope the early notice will get the spring hype going. This show will also be two weeks before Mike's OCB/IFPA Pro Bowl. And I believe that the polygraph and OCB fees will be able to carry competitors through both shows. So I am hoping our show will be used as a good early season warm up.
I will keep everyone posted in the coming weeks. I have an artist completing my design as we speak. We are hoping to have our website www.ocbtheuprising.com and posters ready by mid november. Any questions can be e-mailed to admin@ocbtheuprising.com

past steriod use? -- curious, 09:47:15 10/25/09 Sun [5]
I am just wondering how many current NATURAL bodybuilders have used steriods in the past or are stil cycling on and off throughout the year. I don't imagine many will come forward. Because I have serious speculation about some that are competing now.
