This was when I won the overall at the NPC East Coast Classic in 2008. I then went on to do Team U and placed 4th after having Palumbo help me with my diet. I've always been a little more muscular and actually had to stop training with heavy weights, which I did not like. I took a few years off from competing but am back to training for 2013. According to this picture, what do I need to do for the WPD?

i would love to see a rear shot here as well. very pretty look! maybe bring upper body up a bit more, conditioning a bit tighter. a little more quad sweep. nothing a bit more time in the gym couldnt fix!

I also know I need to bring up my hams and calves. This is the only behind photo I have on my computer although I have been leaner than this rear shot shows.

[tammyp]

the shape is there...bring up size slightly and tighter conditioning and you should be good to go!

Thanks so much for the critique!

Your are going to make a good WPD Pro. You have a really good look to u. This is the division for u since u enjoy training. A LITTLE more size and conditioning and u should be there. Let us know. It would be nice to see some pics of u posing.

Thanks Jude2! When I started to compete in 2000 I did natural bodybuilding, then did some fitness shows and then went to figure. I always enjoyed the bodybuilding routines since I was a dancer and cheerleader for years. My father owned a gym and was a bodybuilder so I grew up in the fitness scene. I've been lifting weights since Jr High School. I also recently trained for 3 weeks for a deadlift comp and pulled 315! Once the 2013 NPC contest list comes out, I plan to choose my first physique show. So excited for the WPD because I was close to getting my pro card in Figure but I was always told I was a little too muscular! One year I did the North Americans and the judges said I could do LW BB.

What area are u from? WE have a really good show here in New Orleans in June. Greater Gulf States.

[DrPringle]

I live in Virginia. I've competed in NPC since 2004 and did shows along the east coast primarily. I'm a Physical Therapist and just became director of my own clinic in the past month so it will be hard to take too much time away. Hoping to find some shows in driving distance to start. Do you think the new schedule will be out in the next month?

[Jude2]

Great. I am also a PT. They have some NPC shows listed in the new NPC news mag with Phil on the cover.

hey i believe that first pic was from when i worked with you, and dieted you on carbs. I thought you got into great shape and carried good muscle.

I think physique would be a great spot for you. Get back to training arms and with a little added size but not to much you should be good to go.

[DrPringle]

Yes Jason that 1st pic was when I worked with you....and I really felt great throughout the whole prep. I was actually starting to get too lean the last couple weeks for what they wanted for figure so I had to start adding food back in! I have been back to training hard again and plan to add on just a little more size. I'll more than likely be contacting Jason Theobald for my 2013 prep!

So I wanted to follow up on this thread153260153261153262. I decided to switch to WPD and hired Jason Theobald of Scoobyprep.com. The past 2 weekends I competed in 2 NPC shows and won both of them. Next is Team U in a week! I am so happy with my progress and Jason has been amazing to work with!! He offers a very personalized program and always gets back to you in a very timely fashion!

[Jude2]

You look awesome. I am glad u switched. You are what we are looking for in WPD.

[DrPringle]

Thanks Jude2! I am hoping my physique is what they are looking for at Team U next weekend!!
