yeah that question always worries me, whole lotta ramifications involved there
lookin good doug, nice work!
now if we can only keep you from hurting yourself.. :34:
couple things come to mind re. posing:
front bi pose - don't flex the abs, use vacuum pose..this will allow you to expand the lats more and look wider..keeping abs flexed during this will draw you downward and make you appear smaller..also, bring the arms upward a tad more as well (will also help with lat expansion)
side poses - pretty much every side shot i see of you, you are covering your chest on the far side (again makes you look smaller)
the idea is to use your far arm to prop the chest outward, making it appear fuller from the judges view..twist the body a lil more (opening up the front side for judges to see) and clean up that back view, i think will help immensely
anyway - you are so much further ahead at this point than what i've seen in the past..keep mauling buddy!

doug - don't move pic day, simply make adjustments
you ain't moving the day of show, so you better line things up appropriately now :cool2:
fyi - i'm lookin better today myself, much happier than yesterday
it won't be eliminating the salt from the sausage that has you looking leaner DW - it will be elimination of the suasage for other reasons..fats from meats not exactly best for what you are doing

as for salt - there is an opposite view to the stance you espouse, shared by many (including myself):
use salt liberally thruout prep, each and every day, more than what you usually use..this will make salt manipulation (simple elimination) and cutting easier come final week/stage time
as for your thoughts of looking better NOW for pics because you eliminate salt from your diet -- who cares?
big picture, my friend..focus on the prize
