i will be attending and billet works should be there as well. it is going to be interesting with figure criteria changing again. not sure what to tell you to expect other than getting motivated by someone you see there.

kila welcome to the thread.

post your class you are planning to compete in? areas of opportunity? mine are my shoulders and quad sweep. been focusing for a year, they have come up, but still need more - by my standards. the current judging - figure without legs!! no sweep on the top arnold competitors - pro and amateur.

Not much hun...just doin my thing. I'm in town, but will be back out of town in a couple of weeks for a few days. Have a big comp I'm sponsoring in south/east Tennesee to make an appearance at. I'm still making strong progress, trimming the waist down and leaning up all over without losing a ton of size. Need more back tho! Back used to be my fav for a long time...now I love them all equally. See ya soon...but not soon enough!

Much success to you in Tennesse. Awesome on the progress. I am enjoying my last bit of free eating on a weekly limit. Last night was popcorn night. Prep time starts soon and will go through October. I go slow to make slow fat loss and maintain my muscle. That's the name of the game is preserving all the work you put into the game. I have already started my cardio schedule that will increase when prep starts.

Needing more back? Depth? Thickness? Your width is looking good. I used to feel I didn't have to work my back and now I am re-thinking that. Same with hamstrings. Mine are still SORE from Monday and tomorrow is quads.

What is the body part that has tied with back on training for you?

I am digging training shoulders. Back is ok. Chest is ok. Quads up there. Hams up there. I am working to get that X factor. If I can put on some decent size on next year, I may crossover and do a natural bb show. Granted for me hitting below 10% BF put me below 139 lbs. I am too tall for a middle weight!

Not really needing more back...just love back Honestly, for years, I longed for back day along with deadlifts and squats with a lustful desire. Nowadays, I'm just flat out addicted to pushing each and every body part to the edge. I still love my favs but hams, quads, chest, shoulders, arms, calves, abs, forearms, you name it, I love hittin it.

I'd like to see you cross over to natural BBing...it's gonna take some blood, sweat, and tears though...and a lust for pain...I can help with that.

that was my first passion and love. my heart is still there with bodybuilding. i have grown tremendously over the past three years with training. i am sure if i keep this mental focus, i can easily crossover. right now, my training partner and i just changed up the routine for muscle confusion. i hate these days b/c it seems right when your weights are increasing, the change comes and it seems to make you feel like you set yourself back.

with that being said, you really aren't set back, but the gains become steady streamed, which i love. so i will keep pressing hard at it. i will land where i am suppose to. we should get together at Stroud's sometimes.
