4 inches makes a lot of difference in proportion. therefore a taller person would have to put on a lot more mass to look similar to a muscular shorter person.

from now to june, i will have no life cuz its crunch time. i have to eat every meal, never miss a workout, and at the same time be in school cuz the competition im entering requires you to be enrolled in a western states college.

thusday, akash and i left to vegas at around 8:30pm and we arrived at the luxor hotel around 11:15pm. as meatheadz, we headed to the 24 hour fitness over there and worked out. masoud and jackie came to meet us up at 2am. on friday we ate at the luxor buffet and after we headed to the convention. akash and i were disappointed because the convention was a little smaller and the booths were much more jew than last year and didnt give out so much stuff. so we just walked around not caring how much we got and just enjoyed looking at fitness girls. we mostly got shirts and headwear. i took a picture with stan mcquay the 2003 USA NPC middleweight champion and chris cormier was next to me also. stan mcquay looks very big in person compared to his pictures online. maybe right now he is bulking up and that he is also very short like 5'6". but standing next to him i look like an anorexic. i had to do 16 pullups at this one booth to get a shirt and akash pressured me to do it. it was tiring but worth it. later that night, we walked to mirage to meet up with the other meatheads at the mirage and we saw lots of hookers in the casino. next morning we all went to the expo and just got more stuff. we went to the mandalay bay buffet and saw pros eating it up for the final judging that night. ronnie coleman got first place again for the 6th time and its starting to get boring. we ate at the mirage buffet and loaded up with so much food. after that, we went to the V-bar for a private party at the venetian and left to go to sapphires instead. i spent 65 bucks there and saw some amazing skilled muscular feats. next day, we ate at the paris buffet and heard about the 15 south closure at cajon pass. we left at 430 back to la so i turned on the radio to the highway station and listened for detours. ephraim and his friends were retarded and headed 15 north to salt lake for some reason and after an hour realized they were going the wrong way when they saw the rocky mountains. so we decided to take the yucca valley route and it was bumper to bumper traffic all the way from barstow to the 10 frwy. the detour route was all hickville and there werent any gas stations or rest stops. we had to take a piss in the desert. the trip took 9 hours and an extra 130 miles and all we ate for dinner were rasberry sour strips.
