Few thoughts

1. I do not know how you train or eat.........but if you can put on muscle in biceps/triceps, hams,......wider back( lats) ......you would be hard to beat....IF you come in shredded.
2. I think you have a great look........pretty complete, but just enough off to not be top 10 in the country.
3. The potential is definitely there.

Impressive physique! Can I ask what yuor height is, and your weight in the photos?

Just out of curiosity, did you train with Dante?

Yuo also look like there's powerlifting in yuor background with the muscle thickness in yuor lower back. Would like to hear a bit about yuor off-season training if you'd care to post.

i am 5'5 197 in those pics.

no i didnt officially train with dante, but i started dc training after the 2006 jr nats where i was a middleweight. i weighed 192 at the 2007 NA's, and 197 this year. dante helped me set up my dc routines, with emphasis on my lagging bodyparts. i did however switch to a dorian style with a little more volume for this 12 weeks of prep.

i have never trained like a power lifter, i have always been strong in my back and legs. i think i might need to slow down on deads and rack deads and concentrate more on width like phil mentioned. this year my offseason will finally have some guidance, but it is up to me whether i go back to dc or stick to this yates style minus the volume.

THanks for the reply, DB.

Could've sworn you'd powerlifted from the way you look.

What are the goals for the next year or so? Heavyweight?
