yeah that question always worries me, whole lotta ramifications involved there
You are the biggest old fugger I know..... Big fugger keep it up !!!!!!
Thanks
Ok tired vacuuming still kinda looks like I am flexing, I am just trying to suck in my gut but it looks better and makes my waste look smaller as well.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!
Big old Fugger
Thanks ...wouldn't you know it got up this morning not watery at all. Hmmm maybe pic day should be Sunday.Big old Fugger
the good ones are always their own worst critics
No it's just that my refeed day is Friday but I could start changing that into a carp up cuz I know how to clean up from that and what to use. Besides it will be good practice. I was going to do the anyway so just do it earlier than planned.the good ones are always their own worst critics
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
I use a more conservative approach where I just load about 600 grams the night before. I am usually cleaned up when I wake up in the morning.
I try and keep it low yes.
I can still see where I look leaner in the ab shot but not as lean as I would have looked drier.
Great attitude my man. Glad you're enjoying the 1-alpha gains! As always, solid workouts and diet...
Thanks, I am fortunate to have such passion for the things that I love
Thanks man I am killin it
Thanks yah it rocks
Yah we made an adjustment to where I stand in the light, I am in between lights as apposed to right under them, gets rid od the glare....
Dude that is awesome
Indeed.
Thanks, and I am uising good product. I will try and clean up a bit for my next ones and then we will see something.
Yah I am definitely leaner even now than I have ever been on this run, got up this morning and was really looking lean. That's the first change I will see in my diet is a little less water from using the Turkey breast and the sausage as the sausage is pretty salty. Friday night carbs and lower sodium will make a big difference for pics. Anywho I will dry out with diet changes and epi-v, color me not concerned.

My carb up has 600 grams so it's pretty tough to get it all in. Easy to stay within calorie parameters too as I eat pretty low fat when I am carbing up.
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
Yah as far as cals and fats are concerned I just end up taking that from everywhere else, just trying to get a better picture of where I am at. Like you said though can clean up later. Epi-v will do a lot of that for me.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
Carb ups are lower sodium for me yah. The Turkey is me just cleaning up my diet a bit as I go. Lot of nitrates and stuff in sausages I think.
