Critique me!

[gscott]

I am pretty new to this board, so hello everyone. I just go back into bodybuilding at the age of 34. I was 144lbs. in 12/04. I was lifting for 8 months and did my first comp. in 11/05 I was 186lbs. I took 5th in the novice middleweight class. I am now 200lbs. about the same bf%. I know my legs need work the don't respond well/. They were 23" at comp. now 25 1/4". Let me know what you think. Please try to ignore my facial expressions

Thanks,
gscott

Looks great, but those facial expressions...just kidding! First welcome to the board and thanks for sharing your pics. If I am reading this correctly, you got back into BB at 144lbs, and within 8 months you are competing at 186lbs! That is incredible! And are those pics of you when you competed at 186lbs? You just need more time bro. If you have come this far, this quickly, relax and enjoy the journey! You have progressed nicely it sounds, and make sure you read as much as you can on this board as there are a lot of suggestions from some very knowledgable people about training. Your legs will come.

I realize this is not much of a critique, but just keep doing what you are currently doing and it will come. Eat, sleep, train, you're doing great!

Make it heavy, lift it.

Yeah I actually got up to 203 then came down to 186 to make the middleweight cause I thought the heavyweigtht would of been a little much. I am 6' so it is harder for me than the smaller guys. I used to train when I was 26 yrs. old but not as committed my heaviest weight was 175lbs. It's sucks cause my arms are 18 1/4" and they are not proportioned to the rest of my body. Thanks though

Upper body looks pretty good bro, but you really gotta start hammerin at those thighs and hams, they looked really smooth at show time, but all in all good job and good luck!!

Arms look great!!! Sholders look good too. Definetly the one thing that needs help are legs, but I think with some thickness all around you will fill out just fine. I tip my hat to anyone that gets on stage and goes thru precontest....you look in great shape and did pretty good dialing it in. Welcome to the board. Good luck
