Here are some two week out pics taken today. Still working on getting the poses just right - not there yet. Gotta get bigger for next year - at least that is the plan, but for an "old" Masters natty it is a slow process.

Skip is coaching me through the final stretch and the shitload so I hope to hit my peak as well as possible.

Constructive criticism and feedback is welcome.

looking good bro, with skip or Dpsquat in your corner you should do fine. How do you like doing the shitload diet. I'm thinking of trying it sometime.
 
very lean-natty show you'll win-do what Skip tells you-you'll come in dry,hard and full-practice posing-you'll need it for the overall posedown!!!

You're awesome.

I have a quickie question.
Why do guys always want to get 'bigger'?
Click to expand...

Well, I can't speak for anyone else of course, but I'm pretty competitive by nature and that's usually what drives me forward...to be the biggest and strongest

Sounds kinda shallow now that I look at it....but oh well
 
Why get bigger?

Sachet

I always hate losing weight during the pre-contest diet. Even though I realize that conditioning and symetry are what wins a contest it is still awful hard to feel that you are giving up size to get there. SO...if you start out with more muscle (bigger) when you lean out it still seems like you have a decent amount left.

In the end you have to be in great contest condition to do well, but if the person standing next to you does the same thing AND is 20 lbs bigger - they win (usually) so the goal is to try to be the one who is in awsome contest shape but also bigger.
 
u look real good bro, make sure to slide the your foot out to the side more and spike ur calf , dont just spike ur calf straight back, u want that "x" look to ur frame so be sure to slide your leg to the side and back and the same goes for the front poses bro, you look way to good to let a few simple posing mistake kill ya, and they will take away from your over all look if you dont pose right
 
Thanks Presser

Thanks Presser - Getting more help with improving my mandatory poses is on my list of "things for Skip to do" - lol

Hopefuly he will also pick up on these small things that make a difference. I plan to send him better pics of all the mandatory poses later this week for feedback. Funny thing about posing - I know what I want to do, and they look fine with a mirror - but then I don't get it quite right without the mirror - Wish I had a posing coach right here real time - but I'll just have to keep practicing so hitting them just right becomes natural, at least that is the plan.
 
Well.. best of luck to you with your future endeavors ;)

I honestly can't see how you could look much better than you already do, so this will be quite a learning experience for me.
 
Thanks Sachet and sugaa

Thanks for the positive comments - I need you two to be NPC Judges in VA!

Took some new pics today - waiting for Skip to tell me all the wrong things I'm doing in the poses - lol Just can't seem to get my leg placement right. I tried to figure out what Presser was suggesting I should do, but I don't think I got it right yet.

My gym really has no mirrors set up where you can see my back so I have to keep guessing if I have it right - I'll get it yet...
