I dont think those hand held bioimpedence guages work well at all, they are notoriously innacurate for athletes. I used one once and it told me I was 19% fat, and I had all my abs showing with veins running down my lower abs. I was really at about 7-8% bodyfat. The guy at the place I used the device told me they make another guage that is made for athletes that is supposed to be better. Get a skincaliper measure by someone who is experienced.

**1milenia** · 02-04-2007, 08:46 AM

rear lat

**sonar1234** · 02-04-2007, 10:11 AM

Good luck in contest bro

**bigsd67** · 02-04-2007, 10:39 AM

The handhelds are at least 3-4% off for athletes or even higher. If you have any food or water in you when testing it shows up as bodyfat. By looking at you I would estimate 13-15% so that gives you some more time, but you are still a bit behind IMO.

**IBdmfkr** · 02-04-2007, 12:07 PM

You're not 17% IMO.

You could make it if you're experienced or have the right help.

Is it a NPC show or natural?

**1milenia** · 02-04-2007, 07:35 PM

its a natural show ,do you think carb cyling is a good way to start

**1milenia** · 02-08-2007, 08:55 PM

12weeks out pics

**chest6** · 02-09-2007, 03:26 PM

Lookin better. Try gettin some pics from the front each time you update as well. I think you need to start working on your posing as well...

**1milenia** · 02-09-2007, 08:33 PM

thanks chest6 ill get a pick of my abs also ,april 28 is my show date

**Prime** · 02-11-2007, 04:52 AM

You need to learn to pose mate. You are bringing your scapula together in the rear double bi shot which hides detail and makes you look narrow, and in the rear lat you are resting your hands on your hips, they should be around where the bottom of the ribs end.

**PROTEINSHAKE** · 02-11-2007, 08:31 AM

agree 100% with prime.. You can make your goal of doing this show, but its going to take hard work & dedication to come in conditioned the way you want to..posing properly will accentuate your positives & make the most of your physique. do some google searches on proper posing & PRACTICE IT!! Its harder than people think & the more prepared you are,the better you will be @ showtime. keep us posted & take some better pics so we can help you.

**1milenia** · 02-12-2007, 04:59 AM

**PROTEINSHAKE** · 02-12-2007, 06:31 AM

I saw your pics posted on BB.com as well...there is a good posing video on there by bob chicherillo that will give you plenty of helpful hints.

**1milenia** · 02-12-2007, 02:16 PM

**PROTEINSHAKE** · 02-19-2007, 02:12 AM

i have used lipo6....good for energy & average fat burn I guess...get some clen from the board sponsor if you wish to go that route.

**1milenia** · 02-19-2007, 01:12 PM

i think ill go with lipo6 it seems popular for fat burning 10 more weeks till showtime

**1milenia** · 02-25-2007, 08:11 PM

here i am 10 weeks out my abs are starting to show

**PROTEINSHAKE** · 02-26-2007, 05:48 PM

keep up the hard work bro! looking better & better...on that rear double bi pose....try to flare your lats out a bit more & squeeze back at the same time...making your back appear wider..practice posing!!! your on your way!

**bigsd67** · 02-27-2007, 06:00 AM

definitely practice posing every day for at least 30 minutes. You want to make sure that you are presenting the best physique possible and it is very easy to pose your way out of a good placing.

**1milenia** · 02-27-2007, 07:48 PM

thanks getnjakked and bigsd67 but to flare your lats and do the double back bicept pose whats the best way to do it

**Dude-Man** · 02-27-2007, 07:52 PM

You are holding a TON of water. How much are you drinking daily?

**PROTEINSHAKE** · 02-27-2007, 07:58 PM
