thanks guys! here are some bigger pics for ya too! i hope to be in about 1 week out condition at 3 weeks out! got some veins in my quads!!!!! first time for those! pumping i will try and get a good shot of the quads for you.

yeah chest sucks i am going to have to really hammer it in the offseason, i might resort to some power techniques to see if i can stimulate growth. and the back need to get thicker as well something else that will really be worked on!

the picture where its frontal/hands on hips is gonna win you the show IMO if everything else doesn't.

also, you have a great ab/thigh pose.
 
Ya boy, there you go. all your poses look great. one thing you need to work on is when you are doing your front and rear double biceps bring your back out. You are hiding how wide you are there. Also in you mandatory they now want you to leave your arms down by your side and not try to bring your chest out. I saw more guys actually get yelled at by the judges this year for trying to bring one arm out. But other than that man you look great. You have plenty of time you are going to look sick.
 
Thanks brotha!! i will work on what you have said, the problem with back double bi is that when i make it wide i lose the detail, so i just try and bring the detail out. what do you think about that? curious to hear you thoughts.

thanks bro hit me up sometime!
 
Do not worry about the detail right now, you want them to see how wide you are, the detail will come in the last couple of weeks. Who are you kidding you are ripped already. If you hide your thickness some guy next to you could make you look tiny. You are thick so use it
 
STOP YELLING HAHA! good point be back in like 5 hours after i pose and lose all my water haha

thanks ripped :bb:
 
Good work!

I've just decided to do a show in July. I got a nutritionist that specializes in Competitors and also works on posing and designs a routine for the comp. I'm pretty pumped up. Looking forward to your pics.
 
Thanks guys all these comments dont help me stay very humble haha which i try so hard to do because there are so many guys out there who are bodybuilders that act like they are pro haha but i try and help out everyone i can and be there if anyone needs help. i sont let my body get to my head, its only by he grace of God that i am able to be involved in this great sport!!!
Anyways thats for the comments they really go a long way at this point in my diet! 4 weeks and days.
i am not going to post any more pics until contest pics but i will throw one up from 5 weeks out just to show you i am still going strong. or 2 haha front and back.

i will try and keep you updated but right now i am just like :fool2:

Ok, so not to give you a bigger head, you look like crap. Better step it up a notch because there are 10 guys waiting to embarass you on stage! :bruce1:


keep up the great work!!! :)
 
soon my friend, just imagine how that first cheat meal will taste. You came this far, there is no turning back now.

Just try being me crippled lol I am jealous as hell right now. This time last year I was getting ready for the New Englands this yeat I am simply trying to go watch. lol
 
i know man i wont be long now!!!!

I know man i feel sorry for you, how is it feeling? dude you still have my number?
 
Alright pretty much from here on out i will not be posting any pics just because i am so close!!! But i am going to throw one more up which shot would you all like to see the most? and that is the one i am going to be putting up.

I should get the today or tomorrow sometime i am not sure we are supposed to get pounded with like 8-15 inch of snow so i dont know if i will be able to get out but it will be this week sometime!!

Oh yea here is a little some i wrote sitting in my room reflecting on this grrrreat lifestyle we choose to live! hope you enjoy!
 
The journey is what separates us from the normals. This is also where you can find the true bodybuilder as opposed to the ones that claim to be "bodybuilders". The journey is one like no other, its one of struggle, hard labor, mental and physical agony. Beating your body down when it doesn’t have enough fuel to get back up. Breaking your mind and emotions down when they are at their weakest. Yea i am on my own journey right now. 18 weeks of diet down and 3.5 more to go. what keeps me going? Is it the 5:30 cardio sessions? NO. What about the 8 meals? Nope. Working out at the gym when others look at me like i am not human. NAH. Going to bed at 10:00 so i get enough sleep to get up and do it all over again. Not even close. then why? I will tell you. What other sport do you diet for 20 plus week for one day? and if on that one day something is a little off, that 20 weeks went down the drain. 20 weeks of shutting out the world around you when it wants in. ignoring the constant nagging of "friends" asking why you cant eat this and why you cant hang out anymore. putting yourself on a little island all alone in complete solitude. where its only you and that one day the day where you will stand up in front of five people who will decide if you worked hard enough over the last 20 weeks to walk out a champion. the day when you stand next to your fellow iron brothers who have also been on that same journey. they are the ones that can relate with you, they know how it feels to have zero energy, wake up at times of the morning when others are just laying down to sleep. they are your true brothers, but not on this day not at this time they are an enemy. we are all warriors striving for the chance to have our hands held high in victory. but once it is all said and done when that last bead of sweat is dropped on that stage when the final applause is over and you walk off that stage. you will be brothers once again. the iron brother hood is stronger than winning and losing, its about passion and the love for what we do. the appreciation of knowing what it takes to get there. this is why i do it.
God has a plan for everyman, this is the path he has chosen for me and i will carry out my duties until it is time to move on. but will always remember the brotherhood

there you go bro, looken freakish. You are still hiding the width of your back though. Man you have so much more to show. Can't wait to see comp pics.
 
Thanks ripped my iron brotha!!! wont be long now till the day of shining, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Dude my routine is sick ripped i wish you could be there to see it i will try and send you a copy if you would like

Well i will keep this up till show date!! maybe post some pics from the arnold up on here!!
 
uoi gonna rock man, you are right there, make it thru this weekeknd and then next week is the easy one. Only a couple of hard workouts and then some posing. Keep focused man and stay off the scales. Just use the mirror as your guide and do not second guess yourself. You will be a champ in 10 days
 
Thanks bro i just got back from the Arnold!!! I am ready to ROCK AND ROLL!!!!
I feel ready!

We will see here in a few days
 
Damn see I have been so busy I forgot about that . How was it.

Man moving has made me a retard, my brian feels like mush.
 
Oh man it was sick!!!!!
i will post some pics here when i get a chance!
I got to pose down at the ALRI booth cause thats is who my nutritionist is with, i got to get on their stage and hit some shots that was pretty awesome!
Then i got to hang with my good buddy peter putnam for awhile which is was good to see him again and then just collecting all the samples and buying stuff at a deep discount!!

Great time that is my 4th year sad to see it gone already, but being there 1 week out sucks pretty bad cause i felt like crap i had a little cold and all i wanted to do is sleep haha, but i was able to keep up with all my meals and cardio and such so never skiped a beat!!!
 
you get any pics of you posing down, that must have felt sick. Nice

I am actually going to try and work out tomorrow. If things go well I will work out for a month and then do surgery the first of next month. I figure I may as well be in shape before I have it.

I will just be glad to get into a normal grove, it has been way to many months in pain. I feel like a fat ass at a big 195 or 190 lbs lol. Feel like a midget.
 
HAHA Fat yeah right!

Yeah i have some pics of me posing down!!

Good luck i hope the workout goes well! Lets get you back healthy again bro!!
 
It's here baby!! How you feelin? I just got home from prejudging at my show a few hours ago, getting ready to head back up for the night show. Let us know how it turns out for you brother and good luck!

:bb3:
 
Hey bro how did you prejudging go? i am looking at possible 1st and then a 2nd place! I dont know well have to wait and see how it goes!

Good luck tonight let me know how yours goes
 
Just got home from the show and eating. I ended up with 4th in the teens and 5th out of 14 in the Novice Middleweights. I'm pretty happy with the outcome because there was some really tough competition this year and I did my thang. But I had a great time and this is just my first show out of hopefully MANY. I've got a ways to go but I'm willing to put in the time so I can't wait to get back on stage in a couple years. So how did everything turn out for you brother??
 
Thats GREAT News Man!! Glad you had fun and really thats all you can do you cannt help who shows up you never know, you could kill one show and then take dead last in another thats the the sport man you know. But Congrats on a first time for you getting up there is half the battle that most people cannt even make it on stage you did my friend and i am proud of you!!

I took 2 3rd places there were a couple of FREAKS i had to deal with haha but big props to them the look great and the they got it!
But this being my first show it was all about learning and experience! so we will come back next year and blow this thing up baby!!
