Pictures from todays prejudging.

There was more than 10 people in the middle weight class. I came in at 174 could have been in better shape of course but went from over 20% to here in 11 weeks. I had a great experience up there and saw a lot of flaws that I really need to work on that most where expected since it was my first show,others can be fixed with better conditioning next time out and some in the off season with some mass building movements. Over all I am happy with out really caring or expecting to place. I am ready to start prepping for the next one 10 weeks out and should be able to really nail it this time with Phils help and guidance.

hey gymrat, question? are you pushing out against the floor with your feet when you are standing in the front relaxed pose, I ask this cause it seems like your knees are almost in the locked postition. you should have them slightly bent and pushing out against the floor like your trying to slide your feet across the floor and away from each other.


your abs look sick... WOW.. deep seperation. you got great freakin potential bro.

Congratulations on an excellent transformation man. Helluva effort for this, mad props to ya. Keep hitting they weights, with your determination and you will do well at your next show.

Get plenty of time practicing your posing, I think with a lil more polish you could have even shown off your physique better.

Thank you all for all the motivating words. It was an awesome journey and I learned so much priceless information through it. I am very happy with how everything went for the first one. I am not sure how I placed because they only announced top 3 and I was so tired after wards that I did not stick around to ask the judges my placing. I am sure I can find out in the next few days though. I got beat on conditioning for sure though. The 3 guys that placed in first 3 places where peeled. The first place guy was one of the smallest up there and lightest but his conditioning was on point and he was 52 and has been competing since very young. I have now 10 weeks before the next one and believe it will be a lot more relaxed to work my way down from here. I wanted to go back on the diet and the gym the day after the show lol. But I know i needed a break and to relax for a couple of days. Again thank you all for the motivating words,and I have a lot to thank you all for in this board for sharing so much great information and keeping me motivated through it.

hey gymrat, question? are you pushing out against the floor with your feet when you are standing in the front relaxed pose, I ask this cause it seems like your knees are almost in the locked postition. you should have them slightly bent and pushing out against the floor like your trying to slide your feet across the floor and away from each other.


your abs look sick... WOW.. deep seperation. you got great freakin potential bro.

This is why I love this place. I was locking my knees and it made my legs look a lot smaller compared to the guys that knew how to open them like this. I practiced what you said here in between the time before the night show and it made a huuuuuge difference in the way my legs looked. Now I feel comfortable setting my legs up and opening them thanks to you. Thanks bro.

These are a couple of pics after the prejudging practicing setting my feet like you said,and it made a world of difference. Although maybe the second one should have bent knees a little more?
