    I think you need to work on your photography skills! JK, your conditioning looks solid for 5 weeks out. It's really hard to assess any symmetry issues because the pictures are all so zoomed in on specific bodyparts. I would like to see full body shots of the mandatory's to give a better critique.

    I'm sure you know that when your hands go over your head for the abs shot one leg should automatically go forward. Abdominal and thigh. Your chest and back are your best attributes imo. You may need to bring your legs up some. I'll be interested to hear what fireguy says.

    I agree with HK, legs especially hams could use some work but that's something to be addressed after this show and before the next one. Biggest think you need to do is work on your posing. You only posted one mandatories so it's hard to critique but just looking at your posture and foot pla***ent in the shots you did I can tell you not where you should be at 4 weeks out posing wise. If you post a shot of all 8 mandatories I will help you the best I can as far as at least getting you set up correctly. Be a shame if someone less conditioned and with less size beats you because they had a better presentation.

    fvck no i dont! i want to throw up every time i have to choke down a can. I also drink 3gallons of water a day or 2.5 at the least. i end up chugging about a half gallon of water every time im throwing back a can of tuna like a fist full of pills.

    Your diet seems to be very different from day to day. Are you doing that on purpose or it that just the way it works out? I ask because mine looks pretty much the same every day. Everybody is different though.

    it was being adjusted. my trainer has been wanting me down to 6meals a day for a few weeks but i kept going hypo so i would have to eat. It was crazy i was going hypo every hour and a half i would get a cold sweat, eye sight would be fuzzy, could not think clear at all just like as if i was blasting insulin . now im at 6meals and its pretty comfortable. i have days of 0 carbs and med and high of i think 90g carb days.

    but its mostly been my portions i changer. 60g of protein no fat and carbs very on the different days but the 12oz of tilapia is the same as chicken or 3cans of tuna give or take a few grams. should be mostly the same from here on out though

    I hope you wear the Batman underoos onstage, those are funny.
    I typically hate tats but I like the fact that yours are consistent from the back and side to side on the arms, they are not distracting.
    BTW looking good/great. Good luck.

    Looking good man. To add to what FireGuy mentioned about posing, spend as much time as possible on hitting the poses hard and transitioning between. I didn't spend as much time as I should have on my posing and it cost me a couple places. Everything seemed to move fast during the mandatories. As soon as I hit one pose, they were already calling another. Keep up the hard work. You look like your on track. Good luck

    iv heard that before. That sumtimes it feels like your on stage forever and others go so fast you never hold a pose for even a second before the next is called out

    Awesome work, you look great! Can't offer any critique, cuz I'm no where near your level, but I aspire to be!
    I don't know how you do that tuna man, but I'd like to, it's cheap protein. That's hardcore.

    im so sick and tired of tuna its unreal. My trainer is adding sum cals back because he said im going to "peak" to soon so i am sticking with chicken and might be adding a meal back! i can function on 6meals a day now but i still feel like i need more food. No joke i was eating about 8-12x a day when i first started dieting for this show, smaller portions but still i was always eating. I really csnt wait to start bulking again after this. I feel like i know my body so much more now. i have fallin in love with the recipie section!
