db006 pics from the nationals

[db006]

well the nationals obviously didnt go as well as i wanted. the goal was to make the top 15, and i didnt. going by the pictures and my own opinion i wasnt too far out, and felt that the judging after the top 4 isnt really accurate at all. but either way i had a good time in florida, and got to talk to alot of cool people, including bboy, shelby and tp4u, not to mention some of the top pro's in the world. the plan is now to take off all of 2010 and compete in 2011 at the jr nats.

these first 2 pics were around 1230 friday. i feel i was the driest and sharpest here, could of been a little fuller. but the nonetheless this was the best i was all day.

these next pics are from around 330. right before i went down to the competitors meeting. i think i flattened out a little, and i didnt get on stage til about 5 hours after these pics, so i was really flat and soft by then.

here are a few from the stage. my posing sucks, i looked miserable as hell, and i got caught on the end so i dont think i got a good look. the guy second from the right took 5th.

Well

You look great..........you just need a lot more muscle and placed strategically.........lean though, good separation.

OK so.....

besides chest, glutes and tri's, what else is glaring??

Congratsand respect, Dave. Did your homework, and looked lean. Good quad separation. Agree about working on chest and tris, and looking fuller and drier. But then the long waiting period before going on stage does not help either.

Hang in, and holler if I can answer posing questions or offer advice. Best for 2010.

I'm pretty sure only 2 guys from that group made the top 15 (the two guys on the far right).

thanks bro. i still need more detail in my hams and glutes. and maybe even more muscle in my glutes. that and my conditioning will be improved come 2011.
