YOU GOT BIGGER

But to be a national threat you will need bigger legs with more emphasis on leg sweep, bigger calves, thicker chest, wider back, bigger arms, more prominent ab muscles, more detail along with thicker hamstrings also would help. You have unhealthy veriscosity in the legs and might want to get that checked out. Do not tan year round, your skin is looking a little aged for how young you are. Get clean for a while, get healthy, stay lean, reevaluate your goals after getting a blood test and knowing everything is ok.

Yes, the muscle looks 'tired'. The body has a much older look than your age.

Your condition is good. Density is good. Arms are ok, especially biceps.
Your muscles don't 'pop' though. You need more overall width - delts, back, quads.
The lighting at the show was crap or you were too dark. I will say it's the lights' fault.

Your width has to improve to make you look really impressive, as your waist is/appears a bit blocky.

No matter what, huge improvement from your last show - a couple of years back?

Good assortment of shots and you looked pretty good, have to assume
you placed reasonably well.

You do look a little flat but that can be corrected next time. I agree
with Phil and BigA that your skin looks a little too leathery, no need to
stay in sun year round, even at contest time, can get spray tans in
tanning salon prior to your usual protan etc. No need to sit under a sunbed
anymore. Will only contribute to the leathery look and age you as well.
Plus the old big C, take it from me, I'm in my dermatologists office 3 x
a year getting something removed/corrected.

I actually feel your lower body looks pretty good, most work needed
on a "fuller" upper body.

Good luck with your future contests!

I can understand the comments that indicate you need to get the individual muscles to peak ("pop") more. I think more fullness and size would look good on you, and fall into good balance.

The reason I say this is I looked up some of your earlier photos, here and elsewhere. I see a marked improvement from the very begining. Your 2002 competition shots show good tightness and balance, but also indicate more size is needed.

You show good potential, but you may be trying too many different methods. I would look at 2002, and try increasing the weigh (lowering the reps) until you reach failure. That might get some isolated size in your muscle groups.
