I thought that before, maybe with the right protocol the last week I can morph into Ronnie Coleman. Truth is you either got the goods or you don’t. That said, salad after PJ? Pop tart for breakfast?? Man. Truth is you needed pizza and burgers the night before and a pickle or something salty just before pumping up back stage. With your current condition post show try hitting some really salty foods, hit a few pushups and then see how you look...
I saw some of your other posts about qualifying for the usa’s and winning swords etc. I thought damn this kid is confident...not a bad thing. But you want someone to help you who’s going to be brutally honest.
I’m old school and train at Golds too. As a true old school guy we didnt have these classic and physique type classes when I was coming up. I couldn’t even tell you how they’re judged, but I agree with your new coach. Take a year off. Add some size by focusing on the food and weights (not too much the drugs like many NPC amateurs who lose sight of the importance of training/food), come back and take the sword.
crazy how we probably have ran into each other haha thanks for this feedback though brother. i love to put the pressure on myself it makes me go harder because i have everything to prove. you always have to have something to prove to stay driven especially through prep, even its to prove it to yourself. point is that my new coach is awesome and already see how well he communicates and thats that we are off season. hes having me carb cycle - high med low low repeat lows will be like keto
goal is to stay as lean as possible while gaining size
i got awesome feedback that i was keeping up with the top 5 even should of been top 4 but what they said is that i need to floss my little waist better because they are bigger but you are just as wide and small waist,
goal is to not go past 28-30 in my off season 30 max! im going to be doing the same show next year. novice men's physique and open. this time around ill be also doing classic physique since thats the ultimate goal
3rd is awesome bro.
just talked to my new coach we are doing the same show next year! if im ready earlier so be it but its time to grow keep my small waist
ill be entering
- mens physique open
- mens physique novice
- mens classic open
Rice cakes are my favorite. You look great
Live and learn. You know not to eat like that again. Can be tough to get it right especially the first time. Probably could have used some more carbs to pull more water out and harden up and fill out. Not exactly sure how he had you carb loading or manipulating water and sodium but that sounds kind of unorthodox with meals like that. Curious on his reasoning for you eating like that. Was he really concerned about spilloover or something? Congratulations by the way. Are you going to hit another comp right away or get your bulk on?
look at my new post brother. thank you so much
this is just the beginning. I'm addicted
don't take this as an offence . Its not that you did not peak. You have very little muscle mass, your lats are lacking so you don't have a good v taper. Your chest needs the most work. Nice traps, delts, and arms. Nice job on getting on stage and good luck to you.
feedback i got from judges is that i won the waist game but i just need to get better at displaying it because they are bigger but i could stand next to them just show off in what i can with. so basically get my posing down to the T but yes i am a lot smaller
Posing will make or break you. Judges told me I lost overall last show because of my posing. You wouldn't think posing would be that big of a deal but it is when everybody is close. Posing coach for me is happening for next show.
Shoot posing makes or breaks us before we even step on stage. Rounder muscle bellies, much harder look, and more control when going through them
yea my new coach is a pro in his posing and all his pros have amazing smooth transitions. so im really excited for whats to come with him
While I appreciate your pics & I congratulate you on all your great efforts & placing, you have ignored my advice to post your pics underneath your other ones rather than posting 8 separate pics of yourself. While I’m sure you’re not doing it for karma, many abuse this & they do post pics for karma so it is heavily frowned upon & Mods can take karma for this practice. Take my advice from now on please.
Great work bro & congratulations.... next time I’m sure with this experience you will get higher!!
Good job mate congrats!!
keep pushing next time you will be first
RustyhookerYou still did good with 3rd. Its not first, but you learned a lot im sure. How many folks here never even got on stage....
Keep kicking butt!
first of many more
overall loved every second of it
