Pics from my recent competition

**Bossman** · 05-04-2007, 04:39 PM

These are a couple of pics of my recent competition. I have another (national qualifier) in 2-weeks, so I did not dry out too much for this one. I weighed in at 202 but plan on coming in as a light heavy next time out. Im the short bald guy on the right. This was the call out for the 5 top guys in heavy at prejudging. I thought the black guy had 1st but they gave it to the guy in the middle. I placed 3rd and was the lightest heavy by far. There were 9 guys in heavy.

I threw in a couple of Victor, the guest poser for the show.

You definately look to be holding the most mass out of that group. Nice job. I'm sure you're gonna look sick in a couple weeks too.

**Dangerdan** · 05-04-2007, 05:10 PM

That Victor guys is fairly large as well.

Im just over 5'8". Everyone else in the class was over 6'. I weighed the least (one guy was 224, one was 221) but at my height, I think I had the most mass by quite a margin. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but there were sharper guys there. If I would have lost a few more lbs water maybe it would have made a difference but I was afraid of rebound and the next competition coming up.

thanks for the comments guys!

For some reason I thought Victor was taller. I stood next to him eye to eye.

But, he's a friggin moose.

I weight 190 and fairly lean right now but wow, I look alot smaller than you. Obviously, numbers mean nothing.

you look real good bro. and so does victor lol

**chest6** · 05-05-2007, 02:24 AM

Looks good, man thats gotta be the tallest group I've seen.. typically 5'8" wouldn't be the shortest, I guess the judges picked which size they preferred better

**Ajc330** · 05-05-2007, 06:38 AM

your lat spread looks dominant, be proud! great work

Back looks great, it is difficult to make comparisons from the angle, but it's obvious you look solid....Another 2 weeks of drying out and you'll look sick! Congrats on the 3rd place trophy! Look forward to your next show results. Livestrong!

**juju** · 05-05-2007, 11:57 AM

looking massive!

**Panzerfaust** · 05-05-2007, 12:19 PM

Whats up with #15 on those pics? Is he competing or just standing there watching the rest of you pose?

I also thought you looked the thickest on stage.

Thanks for the comments.

There were 4 guys waiting for comparison after the first 5 call out. Check out the posing trunks on #15. He's wearing a swin suit. I sold him my spare set I had with me for the night show. It was his first show.

Thanks Tank. You look pretty huge yourself!

This is a pic taken just before I started cutting. I didnt think I was that fat until I saw the pic. I got up to 245 this year off season. I was doing all I could to add size this off season and of course that meant food! Im going to take a break and skip competing in '08 so I can come back in 2009 at a competition weight of 220. Or at least that's my goal.
