Well... Show was today. I had a good time, met alot of good bros and learned a ton... Took 5th in novice MW and didn't place in open MW. I got lots of compliments on both my conditioning and my legs... I just need some more muscle on top. Weighed in at 172lbs. My coach is like the Yoda of contest prep. Everything he told me was SPOT ON. I was told by other competitors in the open MW class that I should have had top 3 in novice MW, but oh well... No excuses. I am happy with what I brought. I even got compliments on my posing... Was told I was fluid and graceful and posed like I knew what I was doing... Practice pays off. Doing a show in march probably and the goal there is to take novice MW and just place in the open. Here are a few pics from right before prejudging. Sorry for poor quality and lighting

Your left bicep looks bigger and your right forearm
looks bigger than the other...

Does it make me gay if the first thing I looked at
was your ass when I saw the first pic?

What you expect it was right there when I pulled up the picture :banghead:

Wow man... Not sure If you are trying to be an asshole or if maybe I just don't understand your sense of humor... Regardless, thank you for your valuable and constructive feedback...

I wasn't trying to be an asshole I was just making a joke

You look really good to me

O you mean about the bicep and forearm thing?

I just noticed your right forearm is bigger and
more veins in it then your left bicep being bigger
than your right

Why? I don't know. My right arm is bigger then my left all the time

Anyway, they look good

Your legs look bigger and more cut in that second to last pic too

Are they from different times?

Ok. Sorry to take you the wrong way. Been a long day and trying to rehydrate and replenish... And a little out of it. Thank you for the compliment. It has been a long road and I am happy with where I landed. Now just setting some new goals. Peace

I thought the picture quality was messed up a little cause
those last pics look much better and the pic in your avatar
looks even better

Congrats on your Show... Did my first 2 this year also.. Now I'm Hooked.. The real comp is within yourself.. Sure you will work hard and place differently in your March Show.. enjoy the experiance and the offseason... Having a good stage presence (Posing) is Great and will def help you in your future shows..

Nice Lower Body.. Keep it up

Thank you JR!!!! Yeah, I think I pretty much caught the bug, haha.. The last 2 weeks were very challenging and I had alot of self doubt and went through some lows but kept staring at the finish line. As I type, I am planning a short offseason and then my next show in march. I have decided I will never "bulk" again... Just gonna focus on quality quality quality. Also, for my next show, I and going to experiment and diet down hormonally unassisted... Just to see what condition I can get into naturally. I figure my supplementation was so mild for this prep, I probably could have achieved pretty much the same without the "help". So it's a brief pct for me, a brief offseason to let my CNS recover and back on a diet probably in Nov...

Good thread....

As someone working on leaning up (which I am) I enjoy all the transformation threads. But once in a while someone starts a thread with lots of pics through out the process...

Very motivating ......

Thanks. I looked thru the pics last night as I laid in bed in the hotel room and was pretty proud when I saw how FAT I was at 14 weeks out... LOL. I think I might put up a detailed log on PM as I plan for my next show.
