Great aesthetics. Get more size on your back and wheels and you will be hard to beat!

I shot pics at the Arnold Classic on Friday, Men's Physique and Classic Bodybuilding. IFBB rules. Mandatories included favorite side tri and front and rear lat speads. There was NO most muscular...

You can include WNBF Pro in your IG and FB descriptors for marketing.

Most natural organizations recognize each other's pros, so you have a wide range of natural pro shows to aim for.

An informed answer. AGREE!

Thanks for the post. It appears these are the IFBB versions of the poses. For NPC there is no side tri pose. I have not seen any discussion elsewhere on the upstage calf spiked side poses, but I...

Repped you on this great answer. Concise and honest.

Only extra thought-- if you opt to hire a prep coach, look for someone nearby. I am leery of long distance online prep coaching. I...

Sounds like he is coming on to you. Hoping you reciprocate. If he is a good trainer, just tell him you are not interested in him that way.

At NPC comps, depends on the promoter and venue whether DT is permitted. Def check first before committing to DT as your color. I know some judges who also don't like the Dream Tan colors (either...

Following up here and also gonna pm you--

Have you amped up the macros this week? How much? Feel much difference yet in your lifting?

That's why I suggest you do a reverse diet, adding more macros than your current level over a couple of weeks. Your intestines will get used to the larger volume of food to process and you body will...

So you want to put on muscle mass and stay lean? Plus have endocrine recovery issues and eating disorders? Oy!

But you know what? This sport is filled with amazing success stories, and you are...

This is a favored peak week plan. Since you are not competing, is this just to see how ripped you can get? Or do you have a photo shoot? Just curious...

Based on your pics I think you should be...

So how did you place in your first show? Post some pics!

Equally important, did you have fun? Meet some great new people, make some new connections?

I would say you have about 5lbs to peel off, and you will be very competitive.

WORK ON YOUR MANDATORY POSES. You are not hitting them ideally in your pics, and that will cost you a placing.

Great back, even if the NPC photo editors didn't use your best back pose! Looks like you were showing density as you transitioned...

Bodyfat percent is kinda dodgy to use as a gauge for stage worthiness. Its really how you look that matters, not numbers! Right now I would say you are about 6 weeks out from crispy stage...

Post some pics-- cannot offer suggestions without seeing your condition. Back crispy and seperated? You say 8% bf. That is not very lean for stage... If you carb up much during peak week you may...

Depends on how dialed in you are. May do a lighter lifting day like abs and calves to allow more recuperation of larger bodyparts. You are depleted from prepping so recovery will be a bit slower. ...

I agree with gbnpc. Cut out the crappy foods this close to a show. Lose the pudding and condiments if you can (use protein powder in your oatmeal!). IMO, the refeed should be 300c, 80f, 225p. ...
