2 weeks out

[ShelbyStarnes]

I'm in the middle of a a practice run carb-up (yesterday and today) so I'm fuller, but also a bit more watery than usual. Weight was 194.6 this AM.

[jacshelb]

That's a good look! I'm really impressed with your back. Good thickness and width.

[ghung]

looking good.good luck bro

[Marijan Lipsinic]

Shelby, you look great! Excellent conditioning + fullness. Best I ever seen you! 14 days to go!

[luke_b21]

What kind of carb up/peak week are you doing?

[TheTransformator]

Back is coming in very nicely...! Dialing nicely...and still 2 weeks to go...impressive...!

Do you have a shoulder issue Shelby...? Any particular reason you turn soo much into your side pose...?

[DICE]

You look great man, I seen your videos as well.Good work.

[Canuck_Muscle]

Looking good as usual. The back double bi is your best pose imo.

[NATURAL-1987]

I wish I was that "watery" 2 weeks out. You look great!

[devo09]

huge erector....s.......

seriously though they really struck out, still deadlifting heavy as hell?

[ShelbyStarnes]

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to this final show of the year.. it will be my 5th, and I normally only do one.
devo - I haven't deadlifted from the floor in a while but I still do heavy Romanians and some rows.

transformator - yes, I do have some shoulder issues. I try to correct it in the poses but often I just end up making it look worse :)

Ah okay...leave the arm as it is (if you really can't correct it) and try to turn less into your pose (get my drift) and let us see how that looks...so your legs and chest are both facing the same direction...

Looking good at 2 weeks out...

[debbiebramwell]

yes I know how to read....and you are supposed to turn to create an illusion..you are supposed to show both shoulders..I added the pic of jay to show. I could of used anyone else but I figured mr olympia would be the best one to use:dunno: lol shelbys posing is fine

[ShelbyStarnes]

I think my side chest pose is fine ... my shoulder isn't an issue there at all.

The shoulder issue only crops up in the front and rear lat spreads, which is what I was referring to when I said I was working on it.
