AWN2004- A pic from my first show

[AWN2004]

Here is a pic from my first show. I was right about 198 on the nose for it. As you can see my legs suck ass!!! lol. Hey Im workin on em. I was not nearly lean enough either in my opinion. I dieted for 15 weeks and didnt cheat once and to be honest I was going to be happy with setting my goals and reaching them which was to get on stage. Its all about learning what works for you and Im doing my homework. Improvement wise, Id just like to bring everything up. Here it is...a pic from my routine at the night show. I got 2nd in the novice.

Awn , I think you were lean enuf, just not dry enough, it looked like you had some water you were holding onto, if you took a diuretic or dryed out properly, I think you would of been 1st...good job tho

That's my pose bro! You look to have a quality physique. I'd say that your issue was more water related. How did you approach the last week and days with food and water? What show was it?

Well, I did what I was told and I think I didnt need to carb up as many days as I did. I was up to 3 gallons of water on Wed then down to 1 on Thursday and about 16oz or so on Friday. Its cool though, I mean Im learning what to do and that was just one of those things that you find out how to do correctly the more you do it. It was the AZ State Championships. Honestly I think I could have just carbed up Friday and I would have been fine. Being a bit leaner would have helped too. Next time Im going to try a different approach.

1st show looked good.Don't be scared to carb up. It has alot to do with what you carb up with and how lean you are before you start to carb up. You would be amazed at how many people don't carb up enough.If you did not use a diuretic that will make a world of diffrence. Even a mild one like aldactone for a few days will tighten you up.You have the right mind set just try it out and see what works best for you.
