Thanks Ben...It was good meeting you in E-ville as well. Your legs are already Pro Stage worthy!!
I hope you can make it to KC, its gonna be a sick line up for sure. Just read your new thread...I will post something later on...but I like what I see. I need to get a thread going over there...perhaps that is what I will start up today. Enjoy the off-season bro.

Hey Jordan! I just discovered your blog and must say that I'm very impressed! Thanks for the insight about the PB2! I've read about it a few times but have been hesitant to purchase it for lack of "real world" reviews. I'm definately going to give it a try. It was great to have met you in Evansville! You looked phenomenal and had an awesome run. I still think that you deserved a better placing but as we know, bodybuilding is a subjective sport. I may not be able to make it to KC but there's still a chance. Tear it up in KC and keep your focus sharp! Looking forward to following your off-season progress in the coming weeks. Be sure to stop by my "new" thread on bb.com as well! Time to get my GROW on!

i did 4 sets of 25..then 3 giants sets after. i've got a bad feeling about tomorrow. the last set of squats i thought i was going to lose my breakfast. have you thought of doing 100reps scheme like that for other body parts like chest etc.?

2008-08-11T10:59:00.000-04:00

HA! I was wondering if that was you.
I am glad to hear it kicked your butt...how many sets did it take you to get all 100 reps?
I am interested to hear descriptions of your level of soreness in the coming days.
nice work buddy!

HOOOOO! Good job brother, sounds like a great time, great placement and a great learning experience for you. Ride the momentum and hopefully next month you can kick ass. Then after that, you can come to NYC and we can do some 12 ounce curls!

Good luck Jordan! Grip it and rip it!

Indeed a great post...Very well written and thought out.

JC, you really nailed this one. Just looking at the pics of the WNBF Champ vs. the IFBB Champ says it all. Jim Cordova is a fine specimen of Natural Bodybuilding and what is possible without steroid use whereas the 8-time Mr. Olympia is freaky big and his distended stomach just creeps me out. That is just not normal and I can only imagine what kind of health problems he will have later in life, if not already. What freaks me out even more is when I see this distended stomach on drugged up bodybuilding women. They look pregnant...

There is definitely something to be said for hard work and effort year after year that the Natural Competitors, like yourself, put in. It is obvious that there is a lot of heart in this sport and that the individuals compete not for the $, but for themselves. I have a lot of respect for those of you who have this heart and will.

Hats off to being "Naturally Strong" and healthy.

2008-07-15T12:26:00.000-04:00

You are right on Benny. I have had thoughts about what it would take to redirect the general populations attention to the sport of natural bodybuilding, and recruiting some of the greats of our heritage days is a step in the right direction: Frank Zane, Bill Pearl, and even Arnold (that last one might be a toughy lol).
It is a shame that some of the other masters from the era of Bill Pearl are no longer with us: Reg Park, Steve Reeves, these were true physique athletes that used nothing more than there own will to sculpt a figure that everyone admired.

Great post Jordan. I completely agree with you. I...

2008-07-15T12:03:00.000-04:00

Great post Jordan.

I completely agree with you. I really think the two are two separate sports. I liken the IFBB to pro wrestling, they are real bodies and they are working out, but there is a smoke screen that is pulled over the publics eyes that not everyone knows is there. Or even that everyone doesnt care about. It doesnt make sense that the freaks are paid 20 times more than the more realistic bodybuilders who do it the natural way. I think the general public prefers the natural bodybuilder over the freaky ones, I just dont think they know enough about them.

What would help if Arnold and some of the other famous faces came out to promote the natural competitions publicly. It kinda fits with this organic/green movement that is gaining popularity in so many industries as well. Some media attention would really change this in a more positive direction too.
