Here are some photos from the day of the show. I will post more when I get them back from the photographer. I will want to get some feedback on if the placings were called correct....I will not be upset if you agree with them, it will just make me aware of what to work on next time. But, I feel that my condition was better than the guys who were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and that I didn't really give up any siaze to them. We'll see in a few when I post them. And my legs dried up decent, so I will be happy to get the pics back to post them as well.

p.s. I agree with Phil, I DO NEED to be leaner, also bigger. But, I also was holding more water than I would have liked the day before. Thanks for your honest opinion Phil

It would be better to post whole body shots, but here is what I see.

You've got good shape and a good foundation to build on. You do need to be leaner, and it looks like you could've lost a little more water. Overall, with another 2 weeks of dieting I think you would have been spot on.

Keep doing what your doing, just take it up another level this year. Shoot for putting on another 8-10 lbs this year.

What was your weight, also how tall are you?
I think you look great. Must of been a tough show.
Full body pic's and perhaps pics with you onstage with competitors.
Good luck

I weighed in at 206. I am just over 5'9". I lost about 7lbs of muscle from the stomach flu, my body catabolizedd itself 1 1/2 weeks out from the show. After weigh in, I was up to about 212lb on stage. i am waiting for the photos back, and you will be able to see my legs. They do need work! But, live and learn, right? Thanks for your input!
