Sorry, These are the only photos I have for now.

These are the photos from my last show (Aug. 4, 2007). I was 206.9. I'm 5'11''. My weight now is 250 @ 7.5% BF. I'm planning on doing the same local show this year @ the same time. It's a non-qualifier. ONE day I hope to qualify and compete on the national level. Any critique that can help me prepare for this show or any future shows would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo Nui Loa.

*In the lineup I'm the closest to the photographer and in the posedown I'm the thigh pose.

Glaringly obvious to me is that you need delts and thigh thickness.

Lets talk conditioning. In the competition shots you are in ok condition for a local show. But don't think you can bring that level of conditioning to a regional or national level comp and make the evening show.

Are those other pics recent? Are those what you are calling 7.5%? Because what I'm seeing is between 12% and 14%. That's all right for off season, but don't fool yourself into thinking you are in the single digits.

BTW, in the front semi relaxed pic on stage, you are the only one standing correctly.

The net change in BF is really what I'm tracking. But I agree, those aren't the photos of someone who is 7.5%.

Big A, any suggestions on packing mass on the delts and thighs? I've got @ 16 weeks before my 20 weeks of show prep.

Thank you both for your feedback.

Millitary presses and rock bottom squats. Nothing works better than those two movements.

Any other critiques from anyone else out there? I could use the feedback.

BTW, Big A I've been putting up a lot of military presses and bottom squats and I'm already seeing some results. I really appreciate the advice and will be sure to post some picks @ the beginning of February to show the progress.
