12 days out. need a good coach, here's some proof. Let's hear some opinions

Jman9229 · Sep 28, 2015

12 days out right now(out 10th). I couldn't be happier with the results I have gotten. I do have a coach that I've been working with since mid July. He was on here, but I haven't been on in months, so I couldn't tell you if he is still active. Let me know what you guys think. I think my chest and traps are weakest body parts. Hopefully I can bring them up after the show during my offseason.

July 13th- 170(started working together)
Aug 9th- 175
Aug 28th- 177
Sep 11th- 178
Sept 15th- 185(highest weight, pics not included in collage)
Sep 19th- 180

Pics are in order with the dates above, going left to right.

You look great. From the photos ur chest and traps don't jump out as weak points to me. Hams and calves could use more size. Otherwise u look solid. Good luck with the show. What show are u doing?

snowpatrol · Sep 29, 2015

Looking good for sure! I think you're on track, how tall are you?

I'd say calves for sure this offseason, and then of course try to grow everything else

Thanks for the comment. My calves are def my weakest. Lol. Genetics are horrendous there. I work them like crazy. Probably put an inch on this past year. Def need a few more though. I'm doing NPC North Star

Very well done JMan!!!!!!!!!!!

You changed significantly in the final 12 days.

Congrats!

Thanks. Yea I thought my conditioning was pretty even throughout my body. Figured that would have gotten me first.

Yea. Second place is great, but do we really train to not win? I'm happy with these changes I made since I last competed, but I compete to win.

Thanks. His upper body def looked good. But washed out abs, little definition in quads and glutes, and no Definition in hamstrings. Just figured I had the whole package. Oh well, next time.
