A Few Weeks Out From 2013 Summer Bodybuilding Shows

[joe293]

I will be 52 in August and I'm hitting 3 shows this summer. My first contest was in 1984 and my last was in 2010. I'm hitting the Masters men BB and Super Heavy in the Mens Open BB this year. Here's some pics from a few weeks out at 243 lbs and just under 5'11". Go ahead and tear me appart......lol.

conditioning needs to improve, thicker chest development, the ab distention is concerning...

[joe293]

One more full body

Five ten and a half and weighed in at 240. 51 year old diabetic ex powerlifter......lol. My wife says powerlifting with Ed Coan ruined my midsection. It use to be tiny.

Yup, always had flat pecs kinds like Mentzer. Been training since I was 13 and I'm about to turn 52 so my guess is I got what I got........lol. On a good note, as a powerlifter I have hit 450 in the bench a few times. Guess it doesn't guarantee Arnold pecs........

My third show of the summer. Finally finished @ 233 lbs in the Midwest Championships. Was the best conditioning of the 3 shows and finished 3rd in Masters and third in Super Heavyweights Open. Sorry for the bad pics, it was my wife's camera phone.
