Aftermath
The competition in Miami is behind now.
I took the disappointing (for me) 4th place. Why disappointing? Because I have been third twice in Muslcemania would events.
The competitors ahead of me were a lot bigger than me. It makes me wonder if the number of natural athletes is the bigger number or those who somewhere in their (may be) off-season training use banned substances is the bigger one…
Any way, even if I competed with myself only on the stage I wouldn’t be satisfied by the shape I was in during the competition. The first day (pre-judging) it seamed as if I was still holding water under my skin.
The competitors that placed before me where definitely more defined and with better separations, striations in the gluts and so on.
In other words I deserved what I was given as a placement. I don’t seek the reason in anybody else but me. I don’t blame the judges nor I blame the rest of the competitors.
I know what mistakes I made in the last several says of my pre-contest dieting and I know what body parts I should work on to further improve if I want to be more competitive…
I will post pics soon on my web site. I will also post a video with my routine. I will let you know by posting here…

With all due respect to your self assessment, in my view you were also in the most competitive class in the entire show. The top five competitors in your weight class looked just as good as the competitors in the overall.
Thanks (blagodaria as you would say) for your words of encouragement, Mitch.
