Anyone know what the prize money is for Men's Physique contests?

I can't seem to find any info on this online.

How do you judge if you are losing weight at the proper pace? I agree there's no target weight, its all about the mirror but how do you know you aren't going too slow on the loss or too fast (ie...

Looking great w/ that color on! You had to have done well if not taking the whole thing.

I'd check the organization's banned substance list. I've seen anti-estrogens banned on the list so if its banned, its banned. Doesn't matter if you aren't taking it to come off a cycle, its still...

This is sad to hear and really annoys me. I don't understand what you get out of competing in a natural organization while using banned substances. How do you feel good hoisting a trophy at a...

LOL at the suggestion to take drugs to calm yourself before the polygraph for a NATURAL bodybuilding show. Too funny :D

Lookin great dude, your FDB looks very similar to Dex as well, which is a good thing. Hope you do well.

Guess it depends how good the polygrapher is. I know at the IFPA show I did recently they were telling me before hand how they have had to turn away competitors because they failed the polygraph...

Congrats and welcome to the pro ranks :D

Ya you did and more. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. Makes things a lot clearer for me and gives me a better idea of the direction I want to take. Keep smashin on the competition...

Hey Jrod,

Lookin huge in the offseason. I had a question about your contest diet. I heard recently that you get down to 10-20g of fat a day at the end of your prep. Is this true? If so, what's...

To name a few, IFPA, WNBF, PNBA, NGA are all natural professional organizations.

Congrats Philip, you deserved the win. I emailed you from one of the contact emails on your website before I realized you were on here. I hope you can respond to my email but if its easier I can...

I competed in this show and they were all looking great. Kiyoshi wasn't near as crisp as the rest of the guys but he was so damn huge that it was tough to beat him. Philip definitely deserved the...

Sigh, you are going to make me look like a twig :D

Who from the RXmuscle gang is going to this event? Just curious who's gonna be there competing, watching, etc.

Good luck :D

touche.

well what's your definition of an implant? does it have to be solid or no? I would say that oil was implanted in a competitors body. your move...:yep:

Are fake tits legal in a natural breast competition? Wtf kinda question is that? Of course synthol isn't legal, same with muscle implants.

His waist is definitely thicker but he's at 310, what do you expect? He competes at what, 265? He's got a lot of weight to drop to even get to 275 and with that his waist will shrink a tad.
...

which 24 was this?

15lbs in 2 weeks is a lot. Are you working closely with this nutrtionalist? Like are you telling him your weight on a daily basis? I would think he would have changed things much sooner than...

As said above more muscle might need to be added to your glutes, but I think even if you have minimal glutes you could see them striated if you get lean enough. I would suggest you begin your...

You look great. My suggestions off what I can see from these pics would be upper chest/overall chest thickness, lat width, posing work and maybe a little tighter conditioning package. This is of...

The only code breaker would be juicing up for an NPC show then saying you are still a natty. If you truly are a natty and want some great competition go against the chemically enhanced and see how...

Looking forward to meeting you at the IFPA Pro USA in Sac on the 17th. It will be my pro debut, can't wait to see how I stack up with you big boys. Should be fun.

Yup 2.5 weeks, helps when you stay very lean year round. Here's some pics from the show and a few the night before when I got painted up w/ dream tan #2.

Prep went pretty well, only had 2.5 weeks to prep for the show but I won the whole thing. Took the heavies then the overall to get my NGA pro card. I'm stoked!

Ya that's pretty damn pricey. I'm doing the NGA Natty Mr. California this week in Folsom. Here's the flier.

Lookin great Paul. Excellent color above as I've already told you :D

Yup. On the one hand its a compliment, on the other it's very annoying/aggravating to know you put in all this time and hard work (24/7 mind you) to have someone chalk it up to steroids. Nothin you...

Because if you don't have the genetics/dedication for it, you can't understand how someone else could. I just take it as a compliment that they would assume I'm chemically enhanced to look how I do.

Woops, abrupt change of plans. My prep coach(es) talked me into doing the NGA Mr./Ms. California the next weekend, June 12th. This gives me an extra week to prep/work on posing. Good luck at the...

Awesome. I'll see you there. It's looking like they are going to be doing it by height class and not weight correct?

Anyone doing this show in Sacramento?

What would be grounds for suspension?

Good pics. I checked out the pre-judging, there were some good physiques up there. I didn't stop by any booths tho :(

I currently do one scoop of waxy maize (30g carbs), 5g creatine mono, 5g glutamine, 50g whey isolate. I'm wondering if I should up my waxy maize intake to 2 scoops (60g) but I'm not sure if this...

I cut out smoking weed when I'm dieting unless its a refeed day because I know I'll eat everything and justify all of it at the time. I just can't trust myself to stick to a diet plan if I'm high. ...

congrats brotha. got a good track record going for your show placings :)

I have a friend who's a WNBF pro (Alberto Nunez) that helps me out with any questions and prep stuff. Thanks tho :) When I do take the plunge to get on stage he'll be the one helping me with...

Ya I'm also wondering if its 15lbs of actual lean mass or if its just that "I put on 30 lbs and at least half of it has to be muscle" crap. You can't really tell what muscle gains have been made til...

7 days a week? You have a slow metabolism or something? Gotta do what you gotta do but that sounds like a pretty decent amount of LISS.
