10 Weeks out...

[tonka]

Hey PM bros!

My cousin decided to have his hand again at the same show he did last year. He's 10 weeks out here and a bit eaner at this point compared to last year and the weight is about the same. I did my best to help him last year and am trying to help him again this year. I am by no means a nutrition expert, and tried to point him in the direction to the gurus of this board (Shelby, Phil, Mainevent etc..) unfortunately he cannot afford their services. Any advice, critiques any of you have would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yea, his posing is still horrible and we are trying to work on it lol.

Thanks!

T, what is his height and weight? It seems that his back needs a lot of work, the front double bicep and his lats do not show. At 10 weeks out his conditioning look good.

My advice is if he wants to compete for fun then go for it, but if he wants to do well, he should take a few years off and focus on building as much muscle as possible. IMO you need a ton of muscle to do well in bodybuilding. You either better come in extremely conditioned or have a ton of mass and can get away with a little less conditioning.

Just wanted to update this thread. My cuz took second in his class and was better than last year which we were both shooting for. Thank you to all the PM members that shared their knowledge regarding contest prep!

Man he was ripped to shreads!! Congrats on his 2nd place finish. He needs to take some off season time and add mass. Eat like a horse and lift his ass off. He looks to be naturally thin so putting on some mass should be his main focus.
