Hey guys I competed for the first time last week... and can tell I have a lot to learn.. from the tan, to posing, to nutrition the day of and the day of comps...
As far as tans go.... i was thinking to go the route of the paint of tan, from a place like protan online. Because this way it can last a few competitions, rather then getting a 80$ tan for one comp every time.
And for posing... i was told so many different things i dont know what the judges want!!!! Do they want u to flex everything hard? or just relaxly flex??? Flex ur abs hard the whole time? Or just stay relaxed all around and just kinda model??
I was told the other day by a guy that owns a local supplement shop that I will never win my class because he thinks i have a small clavicle... i have broke my collar bone twice... but i dont see what that has to do with anything... he said i need to work on bringing my shoulders out also, and chest. I havent done dumbbell flys in about 2 years cuz i injured my pec going for a PR on bench like 2 years ago and it still bugs me.. what are your guys thoughts?
And the day before the comp i didnt drink any water and stuck to just chicken breast and egg whites... then after weigh ins... i weighed in at 159 (even tho weight doesnt matter, its off height)i ate a protein bar with alot of sodium. I saw alot of guys eatting rice cakes with pb and jelly on them...
thanks guys! The sport of males physique is frustrating to me cuz no one knows what a perfect score would be... it seems like theres lots of politics involved and it ultimately comes down to what the judges like... thanks everyone looking forward to trying to shed some light on this!
