[bigsd67]

when you do your side chest you need to close up your arm that is facing the judges. make sure you pull back your shoulder and when closed you can flex your bicep better. Also make sure you are pushing your legs together to create the illusion of thicker thighs. JMO

[Random]

[spound]

You lookk good man and are tightening up really nice, but I agree with some of the others that your posing needs some real work. I am not bashing you just trying to help out. DO you have someone who could work with you on posing?? Its kinda hard to type things out for every pose

[Random]

Thanks man! The problem is that i dont know anyone really around here where im living that could do of much help...i know a personal trainer who has worked with several bodybuilders and says he could help but he also charges at least $60 an hour and im not sure if hes trying to help me or trying to help his wallet....

[PROTEINSHAKE]

LOOKING GREAT bro.....keep goin!! It aint long now--under 4 weeks to go.Keep it up. My bro did a show last year & the posing was the hardest part he said...music & a routine that flows nicely. he didnt really know any"good" posers from his gym so his wifes girlfriend is a dance choreographer(sp?) & put his posing to his music & it worked out great...just an idea. also BB.com has some video links for posing

[spound]

I am busy most of the night, about to head to the gym for my PM cardio, but I will try to help you out some tomorrow bro. You still got time

[Random]

Thanks again Spound and Getnjackked! Yea the thing is im actually a very good poser to music and routine...i usually do a lee priest, david henry -type routine...that flows...but its my mandatory shots that need practice...i started posing more tonight and will continue posing for 20-30 minutes every day till the show....talk to you later guys...

[Carlos_E]

IMO it's worth the money. Can you afford once or twice a week? Bring a camcorder. That way you can watch the corrects he makes and practice your posing in a mirror.

[Random]

Carlos...man i wish i could, honestly me and my wife are Dead broke right now and theres room for maybe 2 sessions in the next 4 wks, im talking living paycheck to paycheck, but hey thats part of the game sometimes, it hasnt slowed me down one bit tho...great idea on the camcorder man, ill see if i can meet with him this wk...thanks man

[Random]

Hey guys...just some small updates on the log...i will be stopping the test prop in a couple days then begin using masteron 350mg per wk, and i will run that up to the day of the show.....i also increased my cardio from 50 minutes to 60 minutes now 5-6 days a wk... i figure if i have the energy for more cardio i might as well...i feel just great right now, my carb up strategies have been working great which keeps me energetic for at least a couple days....I dropped the creatine yesterday too along with some of the steak and chicken sauces which contain extra fat and sodium....other than that im having minimal cravings and looking forward to the big day!...

[Random]

Today was quads and calves...im still holding strong but i can definitely feel the weakness comin on...i wish i could carb load tomorrow!!! Anyway ive decided that im going to try using Glycerol for this show during the carb up...i plan on using 40g of it prior to cutting out my water on friday...im goin to test it wednesday when i carb up...ill use 40g with 16 oz of water before bed to see if i tighten up in the morning...hopefully all goes as planned...here was todays workout...

Hack Squats 1 minute rests 120lbx 12 reps 3 sets

Your looking nice and lean,the only thing that you will need to do is practice your manditory's poses.Great work.

[Random]

Hey Thanks Smart tony...im working with a trainer this wkend to try and get my mandatory shots down...looking forward to it...taking pics tomorrow morning too and they will be posted tomorrow! stay tuned guys....

[*Narkissos*]

Three weeks out.. and coming along nicely.

I know your carb intake is somewhat on the low side (115 gr last i heard)... too low imo.

I think you should bump it to 150 gr.. forego the 'carb-up' since logically you've only just over 2 weeks of training left.. you could hit 150 gr for 9 days.. and 'carb-up' on the 10th.

On cardio, i think you should bump it up to 90 minutes.

60 minutes in the am.. 30 minutes pwo.

On your pics... your condition is ok.. but your posing is horrible honestly (sorry)... you need a lot of adjustments if you are to show off your physique to the best of your ability.

[Carlos_E]

Maybe this will help. It's video clips showing how to get into the mandatory poses.
