Building a Bigger Bantamweight

[flexdurden]

Well you already know your wheels look sick but your rear back shot looks real good also!

Keep up the great work bro!

Thanks GS! Hammies are coming along nicely now with the cardio added in. It just seems to bring out cuts that weren't there in the past.

Right now, the die, cardio and training are really wearing on me. It is the feeling that KNOW you are close.

As much as I love this, it is really stressing our relationship... I can't wait to just enjoy spending time going to vineyards and relaxing outside having a burger in the evening.

iMO for your back double bicep you need to pushdown on you calf more and squeeze your glutes so they come out more.. I think you right leg may need to come in a bit......your so shredded ypu need tlo show every detail on stage!

Thanks man! Makes sense... I'll bring my right leg in a little and sit back more on my hammies while flexing my glutes. I think that'll show off my calfs better and give more definition to my glutes and hammies.

Solid advice

Hey bro you know that i think you look great but as long as you are cool about anybody helping out ,i see a few poses besides the ones the other guys have said.
On your side chest you need to practice using the mirror on the placement of your lower body
As you look in the mirror try to place your feet (farthest from the judge )just far enough where your opposite hamstring looks like it is part of the other leg(damn it is hard without showing) If you check out some of the top National or Pros they give the illusion that of the farthest leg is just one leg .
You already have good legs maybe ask some of the real pros but if you get that down you will look even better!
Sorry if my explanation isn't very good etc but it might help because there might be somebody to explain it while you are doing it.

Can't wait until you win this for yourself and to keep the lil lady from bitching:banghead:
Now there is something i could explain in a heart beat ,my wife has went through power lifting to bodybuilding to Pro Wrestling back to bodybuilding plus quitting my job and making the gym business my life
So no need to explain about the strain eventually if she loves you and you show intrest in her she will be right there with you.:headbang:

I can picture what you are saying... Work on tucking / pressing my legs together, like my back knee is pressed into my front hamstring?

It would be so much easier to work with someone in person to get posing tips lol But thank you for the advice

My girl is hanging on for the ride GS... However she can't wait until we can go to wine tastings again lol That is a weekend activity we both love.... go to a vineyard, take a tour and do a tasting and then get a couple of bottles and either cook dinner to accompany the wine or head to a BYOB restaurant

Awesome package bro, and I love your dedication and determination. Impressed with how you faced and overcome adversity. Dominate!:headbang:

Good luck mental, you look great! Your hams are unreal from the back. When you drop water they are going to look like twisted steel cables. Awesome.

If anything, I think my quads are the money maker... But I have one week to the warm up and here are the pics.

Those are really outdated and a lot has changed and evolved since then... I do not want folks thinking that is what I have been continually doing, as what I am doing now differs quite a bit.
