    Default Don't post here often, but would like a critique at 5 weeks out

    I'm 26 and in the pics above I am 5 weeks out from the NPC Blue Ridge Mountain Classic. I will be doing the novice under 176 and the open middleweight. I know I need more overall size for how tall I am.Last year I did a npc contest and got 6th out of 11 in the novice middleweight. I was 165.5lbs there. This year I am looking to be about 10 lbs heavier - just making the cut off for middleweight. My goal is to make top 5 this year so I can at least get a trophy lol

    Well stated the obvious that u need overall size because of your height. Can't do nothing about size at 5 weeks out, so concentrate on conditioning. You look like u are on point with your diet so keep at it and crack that top 5.

    Thank you for the reply. After this contest I will be in off season mode trying to make a move to light heavyweight.

    I know I need more size, but I am glad you say I look on track to be in shape.

    I think as long as my classes aren't too deep, and I show up in shape ; that I can make a top 5.

    Thank you. Last year my back was a major weak point so I worked very hard all year. Same exercises as always, just went a lot heavier.

    I took 2nd in novice under 176 and 3rd in mens open middleweight. I was told by a few judges I had the best condition in the whole show, a few judges had my 1st. My legs are what held me back . I am in the blue trunks 2013blueridge1.jpg2013blueridge16.jpg2013blueridge5.jpg

    Congratulations. You definitely look like you belong up there. Have seen many contests where it looks like a contestant just wandered in off the street. No business being anywhere near a competition.

    Well done. What's your next step? Another show soon or back to working on your legs (which you stated the judges mentioned in their feedback)?

    Thank you very much. My next step is to take some time off to work on my legs. From there I will check the 2014 show listings and pic a few to do. I am deff going to do the NPC Jason Arntz Muscle Beach (that was the first show I ever did) and I might just go back to Virginia for next years Blue Ridge Classic.

    Smalls were too small last year. And mediums were too big. I need to get some custom ones instead of the cheap ones. But I can't seem to find a place to get them
