Hi there. I am new to the board and will be sharing my pic soon.
All feedback will be welcome. The first set of pics will be of me around June of this year. You will laugh! I was in a motorcycle accident and couldn't walk for almost three months. Needless to say I gained some weight due to lack of mobility and depression (40 pounds to be exact). The second set will be of me about 12 weeks out from the show I am now training for. I will be taking pictures every Friday and could load them but I don't have a digital cam, just a scanner. So, as soon as I get some film developed I will start scanning and posting.
You will see me go from 20% to my goal of 5% fat. Right now I am 8-9% and I am 4 weeks out.
Should I put all the pics in this thread or open a new thread when I get new pics???

ok, tonight when I get home from work I will post a couple of my "before" pictures... GOD I KNOW I AM GONNA TAKE SOME HEAT FOR THIS!!!
I mean it I look like a true fatty in these. LOL I can take honest critisism though. Besides I have lost 47 1/2 pounds between June 1st and today. I will be dropping another 8 to 12 before October 26th. So, you all have my permission to make fun of the before pics cause I aint like that no more."The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

Don't worry about the heat, bro. almost all of the people who talk **** have no pics posted, and of those who do, very, very few of them are or will ever be a competitive BBer. Bring on the pics!

A side chest shot. I know my posing is off but I am experimenting with angles. Suggestions?

A twisting shot. I am currently holding a lot of water and still have fat in the midsection to get rid of... But hopefully 4 weeks of intense training will get rid of it all.

Finally, to show that I have calfs... Sorry again about the bad pic quality and the lighting. I will have higher quality photos later on and may even higher the show photographer to take my on stage shots. I think it is 50 for 15 shots...
Please Please, constructive critisism is very important to me. I intend to win this show. Keep in mind it is my first time and I am going novice.

Scar Can you delete other peoples messages here??? If so I think I did... Sorry whoever. I was trying to delete my message that didn't have a pic in it. Like I said earlier I am new here.
And Scar thank you very much. What would you say I need the most work on other than losing more fat and water?"The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

Impressive!
Dang, Jay! Excellent transformation! You're symmetry is good. And you have the thickness to make the Archer pose work (your "pointing to the sky" pose). When you're down to 5-6% bodyfat you should be scary (in a good way). When's your competition?

Damn, dude you're f'n massive. Are the second set of pics from 12 weeks out or current (4-5weeks)? If 12, then looks like your ahead of the game. If 4 weeks, I'd say starting leaning out big time. You have more than enough mass to win most Novice comps I've seen--if you get lean enough. I wouldn't even worry about sacrificing a few pounds of muscle to do it.
Posing is as important as anything at this point; both conditioning and form. So, practice, practice and practice.
Congrats, and trust me, there's nothing like winning the first show in which you compete.
BTW: what organization is sponsoring the show? website?Dixi
