Looking great Shelby!

I would imagine you are not running keto this time around?

Chris you look good, hard to say if you are on point or not from these pictures. Am I right in saying your lower body comes in last? The lighting in the pic is not the best so I may be off.

You...

You are correct, not quite the most political way to put it but you have your delivery lol

It becomes easier the leaner you are as there is much less visceral fat to prevent the concave movement...

First thins you need to address is the extra work on your lacking delt. This is a mistake most people make when trying to bring up a lacking bodypart.

Simply use uni-lateral movements and work...

It's much more than just blowing your air out, you want to really incorporate all the abdominal muscles into the contraction. This takes time and a very strong mind-muscle connection to properly...

His legs are good they just need a bit more width to balance out his physique. They look great in all his side poses but from the front or back his upperbody dominates his poses.

Have fun with the day, relax and go out on the stage full of confidence.

Practice your mandatories as this will really help in the confidence dept. Knowing you are hitting your poses and showing...

I would recommend doing both. It will give you the experience you need to challenge as you progress.

Competing in the open also gives the judges a chance to compare you to the other athletes. One...

Not to attack you but you need to prepare yourself better.

Confidence and presentation go along way when on stage and it seems you lack confidence. You must always go into a show knowing you did...

Last year I relaxed too much and clipped a 17mm on the abs. Business was busy and I was traveling much more due to some contract obligations.

Through that time I lost lbm as my diet was crap with...

I feel your pain SS, I clipped a 9mm on my abs and feel fat lol

I will keep it under a 10mm through the off-season as I generally gain better when leaner. That and I feel 100 times better not...

There is a lot of good advice in this thread and enough support here for you to succeed. My advice to you is simple (K.I.S.S.) and you must set your foundation.

First I would advise you take a...

Dennis Wolf - He needs to prove he can put it all together and could do with some positive media attentions right now.

Phil Heath - He also needs to show up with no excuses and put himself back...

Everyone should compete with no exceptions to the rule. The top three of each show should be rewarded with a place in the grand finale.

In every sport you have to succeed through a season to be...

No MD contract renewal for Lee.

True but is it not time you take a stand against women bullying you? lol

She is class!

John got handled lol Looked a little slow, could it be age?

Keep doing what your doing, you are sure to show up tight.

Have you planned out your carb load? If I recall correctly Skip helped you out last minute in order to fill and dry you out?

He must have added 20lbs to his back WOW!

Both are young with tons of...

Branch will beat them with ease. He kills them both on conditioning and should show up bigger than before.

Looking good mate. Just a matter at tightening up a bit each week and you will be dry.

It looks like you will better your last showing.

Glad to see you choose the middles for Nationals. You lost your fullness going down to welters and will be much more impressive as a middle, even if you lose 5% of your conditioning.

Is she from Ireland or of an Irish background?

Being that I have to bring up my quads this is my current leg day:

Leg Extensions 6-8 sets x 20 reps (pre-exhaust)
45 ° Leg Press 4 sets x 15-20 reps
Hack Squats 4 sets x 15-20 reps
Horizontal...

One of the if not the most consistent bb for conditioning. Will be interesting to see him and Kyoshi go head to head as I get the idea from these pics he's moving up a class.

Looking great for 5...

BSA, I know it becomes a sore spot for you but I ask with no disrespect.

1) While prepping have you entertained the idea of solely using the recumbent bicycle for your cardio?

The reason I...

Good conclusions always come to me, eventually. Though I must admit that your avatars helped lol

This I am quickly realizing...

I would not say ahead of schedule, as this usually leads to some shitty food being eaten lol

You are holding your condition well from the last show and should be able to lose without having to...

He looks more symmetrical last year and should not have been rewarded for his enlarged midsection this year. The judges have set a precedence for DJ and he will show up looking like this come the...

Once Ben brings up his back he will be a very strong competitor.

I'm glad you made the decision to do bikini and you should do very well.

Through reading this thread I am coming to conclusion that I need to move to Oklahoma lol All three of you are beautiful...

I think this posts cancels out all the negative crap you post Swede.

Good on ya!

I don't want to hijack SS's thread but to answer your question, try different things and see what works best for you.

Too much emphasis is based on PWO nutrition and this leads to less...

Fat will slow the rate at which carbohydrates are digested.

The myth is that you require a significant insulin spike to replenish glycogen post-workout. In controlling insulin you allow your...

I like to see him get compared fairly.

He has a pretty complete package and would do well standing beside the top competitors.

I say go for it.

You have a nice physique that is marketable. As the bikini division grows it has the major market potential, where sponsorhip endorsements will thrive.

This is a GREAT statement!

He has a very aesthetic and symmetrical physique but thus far has not brought the conditioning needed to convincingly win!

I did think that in his video interview...

You improved from the WBFF show last year, great showing.

My suggestion would be to stay relatively lean this off-season and add quality muscle. This will also aid in bringing a little better...

Really? Your boobs wouldn't be a problem for me when getting into your dresses or tops. :D

Congrats Scoobs!

You definitely brought the package you wanted and worked hard to bring it, you deserved nothing less than 1st.

Here is Luka on the day. I am sure once Luka gets back from Albania he will have some pics to put up.
