looking great man. Are you gonna try to make middleweight?

[zzmacman]

They have height classes instead of weight. I will be in the short class. (5'7 and under)

no expert here, but on your side relaxed (as well as all side poses) smash your rear knee into your front thigh...this will enhance the apparent size of your hamstring...also, don't cover up the striated glute w/ your hand...pull your arm back a little farther and let the judges see that shit!

I would suggest on your next off season to work the abs a little more.

I would suggest on your next off season to work the abs a little more.

I had worked abs the day before pretty hard and typically whenever I work abs or legs they are soft the next day. However, I haven't hit abs as hard as in the past due to the fact that my gut sticks out and my waist seems to be a little wider when I train abs more than once a week.

Yeah I noticed that my arm was covering up my glutes. THanks for the tip on the hammy. I really only have thought about doing that on my side chest, but you're right I should do it on the side relaxed too. Thanks again fellas.

Wow your back double is your best show I think...if you can find someone to help you with your posing you will do awesome. You're ahead at 2 weeks out I'd say.
