5 weeks out Mountaineer

[ajdos]

Hello Judges- I am currently preparing for the NPC Mountaineer a NPC NQ'er.
I am 5'11 and in these photos I weigh 248.
I have many issue areas that need to be addressed including my umbilical hernia which is a distraction. I know many of the weak points I have and am not afraid to have any harsh criticisms - quite the contrary Im sick of people telling me Im good when I know darn well that I am a average bber at best with a long road ahead of me. This is not a put down on me, Im just a realist.
Thanks in advance for your time and honest assessments- I realize the forum rules state that you need all the manditory poses from pre-judge but I think these poses will give you enough of a look to see what is and is not.
Thanks AJ

You are not very flexible, are you? The muscles look tight and don't pop.

Lower body, chest and midsection are good.

You need more arm size, delt size and back. Stretch the scapulaes too to make the back pop more to the sides.

Your posing well and conditioning is very good for this far out.

Thanks Big A- you are correct on the inflexible if only you knew how inflexible- 2 bad subscapular injuries have made the back a major issue area- seems like everytime I get going with some progress it gets halted by another nic or ding- will take your advice on the stretching- Thanx!

I like your shape and you have a good look to you. Your back need more mass(thickness), but get leaner and you will do good.
