Quick before/after back shots during contest prep.

Before pics are from November, a month before I started dieting for my upcoming contest.

After pics are me the monday before my first show, just after a lower body depletion workout.

Before-

After-

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2...8/IMG_0284.jpg

Granted, they are only back shots. If anyone has any critiques, feel free to post them.

*On a side note- just wanted to give props to Layne. I've been following his article to a T, and regardless of how I place at the contest, I am amazed at the results I've had.

The OCB Great Lakes Natural over in Flint, MI.

I'll be in the Teen and Novice divisions. Not sure how I'll do, or what the competition will be like, but I figure it will be an amazing learning experience and am totally looking forward to this!

good luck, I know another person doing the teen division at that show as well. Shannon Parker is the promotor I believe and he puts on a GREAT show. In fact I won my first pro card at a show of his in may

Welp, just to keep you all updated, I ended up getting 1st out of 4 total in the Teen division, and got 2nd out of 5 in the novice (the person who got 1st also entered the open division and got 2nd overall).

Needless to say, I am totally stoked and had the time of my life. I learned a bunch and had the pleasure of competing with a GREAT group of people.

Shannon Parker was indeed the promotor, and just like Layne said, put on a fantastic show.

Look out boys, because I have officially been bitten by the bodybuilding bug!

Thanks again for the support, and great job with the article Layne, and also thank you for answering those couple of last-minute questions I had.
