2 Weeks out photos, 1st contest

[S.U.A.S.]

Looking for some critiques on my guy's conditioning. I've got an idea of where we're at but if we can get the opinion from actual judges, why not! We are at 2 weeks out. In my mind he is still a little soft for 2 weeks, especially in the hams/glutes. Feel free to comment.

Agreed from those pics and 2 weeks out all u can do is tighten up more. Try to get him to open his back up more.

exactly what jude said!~

4 days out, he's looking good...will post contest pics next week!

Contest is Saturday. We're pretty much all set. Hopefully dry him out a little more with the continuing water depletion today and Friday. Not bad for his 1st contest, huh? Really proud of him, he's got excellent potential!

good job. come back w some stage shots and let us know how he did!

[S.U.A.S.]

1st Place Novice Middleweights AND Novice OVERALL Champ! We got him in just about right, water depletion was pretty spot-on, color was good, and quad cuts were deep!

He also took 3rd in the Open Middleweights. His hammies/glutes weren't as tight as the other guys and he lacked the size to "wow" the judges in the Open Middles but he held his own up there! Not bad for his 1st show! Good news is he's got the bug now and is ready to get back in the gym to do work.

(2nd pic is how he stacked up against the OPEN Middles)
