Thanks Bigbear! My friends felt it was close too, but they are biased. : )
He was nearly as lean as me but had a SOLID 15 pounds on me. He truly deserved to be champion.
Now I know what I need to shoot for next time.

Yesterday
* Felt good to work with a barbell again, haven't touched one since Friday, April 13th.
I was still and sore starting this workout, still felt like I got hit be a train due to basically working out all day Saturday (pumping up & flexing) while being dehydrated. So I started really slow, but as I got into it, things felt great but I resisted the temptation to up the weight, better to get my body used to it first.
Squats with chains
200x5, many sets
superset with
OH Press
120x5, many sets
5 rounds:
a) Ring Dip BWx5
b) Ring Row BWx4 with isometric hold on last rep
c) OH Press 120x1
d) Vertical Jump
Last Night - snow on the ground, attempting to come up with a concentric focused inside routine (as something to do when I can't drag the tire)
5 or 6 rounds of:
a) Vertical Jump
b) Explosive Leg Extension 150x5
c) Maltese Cross Hold, 3 reps
d) Band Maltese Hold, 3 reps

I threw in some curls here are there as well, it was fun.
