Daz Ball's Journal - Beyond the Finals

were you at the show mate?

i dont think its quite as clear as your making out, cant judge based on one photo. 
 
anyway, this is dazs journal, so not the place to debate really. the decision is what it is.

Well now, they say a photo is better than a thousand words don't they? Well that photo says it all, and IMHO they all look very good. But, and there is a but...alvins legs need more work, i know genetically his calves will never be amazing, but still....his legs are not 2nd place legs, or even 3rd. Zak looks the best condition in his life, but very little vascularity in his legs, if any!!! So Zak should not have come first. Jus because its the best he looked, doesn't mean he should take the title.....
 
Now onto Daz...vascular, full, ripped, (tan has nowt to do with it, what the **** had tan got to do with his condition) Legs like a steam train, tight as ****, best he has ever looked, and he gets third...??? Come on judges, we can all see who should have won.
 
I dont write much here, but I do read the boards most days. I dont compete, but i do train, and ive been to a few shows in my time, and in my eyes Darren won, he knows it, I know it, and you know. Nothing against Zak and Alvin, but the best guy did not win on the day. This sport is a joke sometimes, and unfortunately its not like the 100 metres sprint, where there is a clear winner over the line, it all comes down to a group of men and women, who depending on there mood, and what ever 'swayed' them on the day. Is there not a better way to judge??? how about X factor style, where the public gets to vote??? Mmmm that would be interesting wouldn't it? We can all hand in our voting papers at the end of the day, and then surely 500 or so opinions would be more accurate than a judging panel who can be swayed by who knows what.....like to hear any of your thought on the above comment.
 
Thanks

Absolute boll0cks! You just bum Daz cos he's a muscletalk athlete and this is his journal! Lets try and look at this as objectively as possible (even though there's no point as it's over); Zack had the best arms, an amazing back, great conditioning, the most pleasing shape and was definitely the best man on the day. However his legs weren't quite up to par with Daz's and he had some clear gyno. Daz had amazing conditioning, vascularity, freaky legs etc, but had weak arms and an extremely distended midsection. His other body parts weren't good enough to cancel out the distension and that, and a variety of other factors meant that he didn't win. It wasn't just the tan issue - you place Daz next to Zack and you can tell who the world class athlete is going to be.

Hi sorry not posted for a bit just been thinking about 2010, my nickname for 2010 is  THE BIG SHOW!, I was named this by all the lads at the gym. This will be a journal regarding my diet and training for 2010. After a disapointing 3rd postioning, Ive decided on a new gameplan, rather than being a 'Bigger' bodybuilder I wish to become a 'better' bodybuilder. These are my three steps to make the adjustments needed to achieve me goal;

1) Reducing my waist, to bring in beter X-frame and more pleasing look

2) Improve the size in my hamstrings and biceps, in order to bring a better and more fuller package.

3) Deepen the seperation in muscle.

Changed also included diet. Last years diet consisted of high carbs, this year will see a reduction in carbs and higher fats. Carbs seem to give me more bloated look, which is remedied by fats. The breakdown of my diet last year, 500 grams protein, 800-1000 grams carbs, 80-100 grams fat, this equates to the 6000 calorie mark, changes also included a reduction in my calories to 4000. I feel this will help me reduce the size on my waist. My bodyweight is down from this time last year, 273 lbs where as last year it was 295 lbs. I feel confortable at a lighter weight. I have certainly seen a difference on my waist and feel much more stronger, as you will in my fourth coming journal. Before in continue with my diet, i'd like to congrats to Zack for winning his pro-card and wish him all the best in the pro-ranks.

Diet
When I get up, 50 grams of whey

Meal 1) 120 grams of Oats, 2x packes of raisens, 40 grams of nuts, 1x glass of grape juice, 65grams of propetide. 200grams of egg whites. 2tablets of pro-biotics.
