Finally some professional pics from my show!

[Designbuilt]

Hi guys, It's been a while since I've posted, I've been swamped with work, but I'm making great progress, bringing up everything especially the legs, I'm a good 218 right now. Here are a few pics from my last show, these were taken by the photographer who was hired by the show promoters, the quality is much better than I thought. I can't thank Phil enough for getting me in this kind of shape and everyone on this board for being so supportive and motivating.

I'm looking forward to competing again in Mid may of 2010. for my state show.

Better late than never I guess.

Last one

Here's a hands on thighs most muscular. I weighed in at about 180 the night before so I weighed about 177 maybe 176 right here, because I did lose a lot of water overnight. I want to come in a lot bigger in 2010. Phil has me on a new routine and I'm seeing strength increases and really do feel a lot bigger. I have a feeling next year will be very successful.

DB, awesome bro, your working with Phil certainly has paid off and will continue to. Stay focused and dedicated and you will accomplish all of your goals.

I appreciate all of the possitive comments. I just received this a few days ago so I posted them. I am motivated to keep myself in shape this year with the help and guidance of Phil of course. Next year should be much better.

Marilyn as far as my color. I got as dark of a natural tan as possible, (bed) and only 1 coat of protan the night before.

The funny thing is that I didn't get my back, a few people told me that it looked bad during the pre-judging, but the pic above is of the evening show, by then I had someone put it on my back.

Design, looking good Bro! Try to stay a little leaner this off season, and you will look even better next year. Good job!

 

[strognarm]

Great work boss. Keep it up!

 

[aeliop]

Excellent Physique

That is going to get much better. I think that if you stick to the plan the whole offseason people will be shocked with the physique you show up with next year. In my opinion you have a huge upside and as good as you look you have only scratched the surface.

DB...great job bro...you represented Chicago well! How tall are you? You look heavier than the weight you posted.

Of course going with Phil is a major plus!

 

[lycan]

GREAT physique! You can see you put in a lot of hard work and it certainly paid off. Keep it up!

Best regards.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it! You guys always inspire me to be my best. This year especially, more so than last, I feel the need to do my best this off-season and not slack off like I did last year, just as Aeliop and Pesty said.

I'm 5'-10" Iron, I measured myself in the gym and I'm 5'-10 1/2" with shoes on,
I'm very small boned, my ankles are tiny, I can fit my hands around them, I have a basket ball player type frame, pretty broad shoulders but tiny bones. It's just tough filling out the arms and legs, but I'm going to bust my ass to do it this year.

Thanks for altering the pics, it's very cool, now I have an Al Fresco Original! Plus I don't look so ugly in B & W!

Awesome conditioning bro,you looked great. Congratulations.

 

[b-boy]

nice conditioning, your quad seperation is very very good! awesome shots bro. too bad some of the shots were takin when you didn't have your quads fully flexed cause they would have been even more impressive looking. the shots where you are flexing out on your quads looks freakin great.
