looks like you right on bro...........

your not gonna be able to do too much in 2.5 weeks, but you will look a lot more comditioned the next time around. although your conditioning was great, i think you nailed it.

congrats!!!!

I am with DB on this, you nailed it and more than likely will be better conditioned in two weeks, btw what state show are you doing??

 

[EdMan]

Thanks guys. Maybe just being more confident will help. I'll be competing in LA. Lower Arkansas!lol Arkansas Classic July 8th. dboo6, you also looked great. Your in a very tough wt class. bulldog21, where is your next show.

Nice Placing. Congrats

Nice work. Keep it up. Just stay on track and you'll come in tighter. Not that you were off because I'd have to agree with the other guys in saying that you were on.

i am a little confused why your stressing about a state show after the jr's???

eat up bro............second place at the jr's is nothing to shake a stick at.

either way ......good luck. you will be tighter for sure.

On the abdominal and thigh pose, try to get your elbows to touch. It's not possible, but by bringing your elbows in closer you will flare your lats out even more, creating a more dramatic V-taper to your torso. It will make your waist look smaller too.

Good luck, you looked great at the Jrs and I'm sure you will do great at your state show.

DB during this time I stress over everything. I't my personality (last year was same) I'm about to drive my girlfriend crazy But your right, I'm very proud and honored with placing I was hoping to only place going into show.
I guess the reason I'm stressed is because I don't know with certainty the areas that gave #1 the edge over me and would like to know what I can do to beat someone equal to him in future shows. Like all of us trying to fine tune everything.
!berserker, thanks for advice. I have already begun practicing pose.

Great job. Everyone else already stated my sentiments.

Condition was spot on. You should smoke 'em at state show considering you just placed 2nd in a national level contest. Just don't freak out and try anything unusual the last 2 weeks. Go with what got you where you are at. Just some advice on your rear lat spread. You have great hams w/ conditioning and good back. Your pose does not do you the justice it should. Kick your leg out slightly to one side and back somewhat instead of standing straight up. Also keep your head straight ahead instead of looking down when you hit this pose.
Good luck in your next show. You should have no problem!
