from this stage its hard to really say at this level of BF. i do notice your calves being an area to improve on. post pics as you diet down.

Good thickness. Chest and calves are weaknesses.

[Curt James]

Good structure and, as Dave Palumbo might say, great hair! :-D

[tammyp]

good upper body thickness. I would really focus on legs, esp hams and calves off season.

[paintrain]

ok thanks Tammy...that is exactly what I will be focusing on.

[Jude2]

I am impressed, u have lost a lot of body fat. Keep dieting bc conditioning is all u can change at this point. Worry about size in the off season.

[paintrain]

Thanks Jude, I will keep on going and tr and take some time off and build, I have only started training seriously for bodybuilding in december of 2012.

Great job! Like a different person. I agree with Tammy, hams and calves.

Also looking a little bit more on posing since I'm suck a stickler. I figure you train so hard, diet, cardio....present your best physique on stage. On your front lat spread don't bring your hands so far into your midsection. Put your hands at your waist and create an even smaller waist. And in your rear lat spread. Same thing. If you put your hands at your waist, you will show off your small waist and your elbows being more outwards will create an illusion of a wider v taper. In your side chest, sit down further on your legs and arch your back and pop the chest up.

Hope that makes sense. Best of luck!

Dramatic improvement! Best wishes at your show. Please post up how you do.

Which show did you decide on?

Sorry about the pictures I could not figure out how to rotate them

[Jude2]

Congrats on 2nd out of 12 in the LHW class which usually is one of the harder classes at a local show.

[paintrain]

Thanks Jude, as far as the night before pictures go how many weeks do you think I was off my conditioning? I didnt look exactly how I wanted. Thanks again

[Jude2]

Not far off at all. Maybe 1-2 would have made a difference and maybe a little drier. The lighting isn't the best there so a little hard to tell from pics.

[IslandGirl]

Great job! You looked good!

[paintrain]

Cool thanks Jude I will take all of your guys advice and come in better next go around. Thank you Island girl! Thanks again to all of you guys
