Eight Weeks from First Show... C/C please
Hi guys, I'm eight weeks from my first show (NPC Upper Midwest Championships), where I'll be entering the teen and open light heavy weight class. I've included some pictures. Just wondering what you think.

Looking great bud!
Just keep doing what you're doing and you should come in shredded. What weight did you start cutting at? You seem to have some extra skin on your lower abs and chest. Other than that, you look awesome!
Good luck,
Jordan

Thanks. I was about 220 or so. Ya, the loose skin is a result of weighing 320 in high school. I'm hoping it tightens up before contest.

Oh, congrats on the transformation! What are you weighing now, and how does the diet look if you don't mind me prying?

You're pretty young and skin should still be pretty elastic still so hopefully it'll mostly tighten up with time. How long ago were you 320lb? Looking jacked for sure, you'll do well. Good luck.

Your skin will tighten up more over time, especially as you put on more muscle. But from where you were two years ago to what you are now.... wow that is absolutely amazing. Congratulations.

You may already be aware, but just in case...." L-Carnitine!
Aside from it's obvious benefits for aiding in fat-loss, muscle building properties and recovery L-Carnitine is said to have properties that aid in skin cell rejuvination and help with the tightening of skin.
Also adding Zinc and Copper helps with the production of enzymes that help firm up the skin....
Anyway, this was just a thought.
I didn't have time or would have looked further for you. Do a little research and see what you come up with...
HTH..

How about some more updates? Are you on track? Your first pics looked like you were way ahead of the game.

I've been meaning to. I'm now six weeks from the NPC Upper Midwest and 7 weeks from the NPC Heartland Natural Classic. Here's some current pics. The lighting isn't very good. I assure you that I'm in better shape than is represented in these pictures. The flash kinda washed me out, but I guess that's the same as on stage.

I'll see what I can do to help with your posing. My posing coach has a field day with my posing so I'll try and help you with what I know.
Side chest pose. Bring your feet closer together. You should be able to push on your hamstrings with your back leg giving your front leg a larger sweep. I'm sure you could find some video on this if you search around. Also, try and push your chest to your chin. Don't forget to smile.

Front double biceps. Bring your legs closer together. Your front leg hamstring should touch your other leg when you turn and flex it. Don't forget to smile.
Keep in mind this is what I've been taught. I've stood in the mirror and I agree with my posing coach that it looks better when your hamstring of your front leg is touching the other leg.

Tricep pose. I like the upper body, but you need to bring your legs closer together. Just like you need to bring your legs closer together in your side chest pose.

Front lat spread. Bring your legs closer together. Just like you need to bring your legs closer together in your front double biceps pose. Try bringing your chest closer to your chin and lean back a little. Don't lean back to far though.

Ab pose. Bring your legs closer together just like the other poses I talked about.
This is getting technical about posing. Your conditioning is great so I hope I don't dicourage you in anyway. I think you will do well. Keep at it! I'll see you at the Heartland.
