The morning started off early as he had to be up and eating by 4 a.m. His last meal the night before was at 11 p.m. The competition was at Ogden High School and had the drug testing at 9 a.m. and the pre-judging started at 10 a.m. Amanda and Kaitlyn had the chance to see their Dad compete for the first time. When Roy came out, Kaitlyn yelled "Go Daddy!" The audience chuckled. :) Roy competed in the Masters and Open Tall Division. Both divisions were tough, leaving us not knowing how he would be scored.
At the evening show, Roy took 2nd in the Masters division and looking through the pictures from the morning show, Roy & Jim Brau decided he needed to change his foot placement on the front poses to show more quad. In the Open Tall division, Roy won the class. Which put him in the overall final against the guy who beat him in the Masters, and the winner in the Medium-Tall class. They brought all of them out on stage, and put them through all the mandatory poses and plus some extras. This gave Roy the opportunity to show the change in foot placement, better quad definition development, and sweep. Also, having another meal between the shows helped Roy to come in harder and the muscles were fuller.
Well, the changes and tweeks were made, and Roy got his revenge on the Masters winner and the Medium-Tall winner. He ended up taking the overall show! :) He is now the Rocky Mountain Rumble Champion and won $250 to go towards his next national competition! He also qualified to go professional, if he so chooses! He is looking at competing in the Natural Olympia in Reno, Nevada on November 9, 2012. He would like to thank everyone who helped him get ready. Especially, the three time reigning Mr. Natural Olympia, Kioshi Moody with his training and diet. Here are some pictures of the exciting event!

Thanks for posting Linda. I was wanting to read about it and it was a fun read. Who would have thought that foot placement would change the out come of the whole show. Congrats Roy on how well you did. This is so inspiring all that hard work has paid off!
