Road to my 2nd contest - October 2011

I agree with you on the front lat spread. Initially I wanted to show the abs more (thought it looked more impressive). With some feedback, I've fixed the pose to where I'll vacuum and hold the chest high to give more of a taper. I also worked a lot on the fdb and rdb (as well as the other poses). I think my posing definitely hurt my posing.

Thanks for the well wishes and thanks for the helpful hints. It is much appreciated.

You're welcome!
I just want to see you show off all your hard work the best you can!

Ah, How did you do on Saturday?

Ah, How did you do on Saturday?

I didn't fare as well as I had hoped. I ended up 6th out of 8 in Submasters (had myself 5th or 6th). I also took 6th out of 8 in novice tall (had myself 4th or 5th). This show was much bigger than the show I did a few weeks ago and they awarded several pro-cards. I felt out classed as many of the guys were huge (hard to believe some were naturals, amazing what they did). I'm happy with how I did personally and this fuels my fire to improve over the coming year. I plan on doing some shows next October (probably same ones). I'm going to work hard at improving my arms and shoulders/delts which are my main weak points and getting my legs bigger and leaner.
