First show pre judging pics

[alexISthrowed]

Pre-judging pics from my first show. I'm on the left in black trunks. I'm natural, just diet and salt manipulation. Diet was provided by my pops (cgb6810). I was actually cutting for a pling meet I was going to do when he talked me into doing this show. Jumped In 5 weeks ago at about 179-181 and weighed in today at 153.8. I will post more pics and talk a little more about my experience. I am now officially hooked and thinking about my next show. No more pling for this guy. Any criticism would be awesome, You wont hurt my feelings fireguy lol. I'm too tired to proof read this so sorry if there are spelling errors.

[alexISthrowed]

Forgot to say i'm 19 and this is the teen division. There was only 2 of us.

[mrniceguy215]

how did you do? nice traps!

[Bigd89]

Hell yea. Ripped up

[mrniceguy215]

you and your competitor are almost identical but i bet they gave it you didnt they?

[scotty51312]

in comparison between the two, your color is better, and back blows his away.. only thing your competition has is maybe a little more sweep in the legs, but not as much definition. Nice work bro. Any plans on bulking up for competition in other classes?

[t-gunz]

^^ agreed . back was not comparable to yours. . but the legs i think he took it out on you.

congrats on entering mate

but to be honest i know nothing about comps at all lol

[bjpennnn]

i think his legs look bigger because of the angle os the pic plus he prob has a little more bf then you. I think you look great bro you beat him hands down. nice work boss. and for 19 you look great man lots of experience i could imagine you gained by doing this show.

[FireGuy]

Nice work, I am sure your dad (one of my favorite members ever) was smiling ear to ear and is extremely proud. A few more years in the gym and I am sure you will be killing it in the middleweight class. Thanks for sharing with us!

[Booz]

i agree with Scotty.. Look great man!!

[THEROCMANCOMETH]

Looking good! Its so nice to see a young person do well in this sport and not be in a hurry to dive into a cycle.Much respect.

[vishus]

well done for the first show, keep hittin it hard and soon you'll be winning your class when theres 12 other guys in it haha glad to hear youre hooked and are also a young gun on here. i just turned 22 and just got back from a show as well. no other high than being on stage

[DFRELAT]

Nice going! Must've been a real good learning experience for you.

[alexISthrowed]

Thanks for all the responses guys. I will post some more pics tomorrow. I got first in teen and third in open light weight. I was happy with how thick my back looked and thought my conditioning was decent.

Thanks man, I'm done with pling now. I'm gonna spend the rest of the year adding size. I'll compete again next year hopefully at the top of the welterweights. I jumped into this one 5 weeks out and had to sacrifice some muscle to get cut.

Thanks fireguy it means a lot coming from you. Me and my dad both have a lot of respect for you, your conditioning and dryness are insane. I hope I can get as lean as you for my next show. I now understand why you guys do this, I'm completely addicted now.

congrats on the show mate you look awsome......................

Thanks man means a lot coming from you. It's something you really cant explain until you do it. Hopefully I can be half your size when I'm 22 haha.

[JohnnyVegas]

You look great. I have huge respect for people with the courage to get on stage.

[alexISthrowed]

thanks johnny. Does anyone have a guess on my bf? Just curious to see what everyone thinks.

[38jumper38]

[alexISthrowed]

Look tremendous,

thanks.

6:00 am:
whey protein shake roughly 50g

8:00 am:
12 egg whites (36g protein)
1/2 cup oats (30g carbs)

10:30-11:
8 oz cod (40g protein)
1 cup cooked brown rice (39g carbs)

1:30-2:
8oz cod (40g protein)
1 cup cooked brown rice (39g carbs)

4:00-4:30
whey protein shake roughly 50g

6:30-7
8 oz chicken breast (60g protein?)
Sweet potato (About 40g of carbs)

9:00
casien protein shake roughly 50g

Roughly 150g carbs a day and about 320-330g protein. My dad just through it together real quick. I know he didn't want me getting to crazy on weighing my food and what not since it was my first show. Next year I'll start at least 10 weeks out and have a better diet plan. This whole show was a real last minute thing. We were extremely busy with work and were out of town for 3 weeks prior to the show.

[SlimmerMe]

Unbelievable! Very impressed.

[FireGuy]

Is your dad going to be in Pittsburgh for Masters Nationals in July?

[Hazard]

Is your dad going to be in Pittsburgh for Masters Nationals in July?

^^^^ I'd like to know also...... i'll definately shoot down there to watch!

Congrats on the show mate! Very happy for you..... takes some balls...... and you went up there and did well too!

Is your dad going to be in Pittsburgh for Masters Nationals in July?

Not this year. He had a partial tear in his bicep last year and it really discouraged him for a while. Now that I'm getting into it he's been talking a little more about competing again. I know his dream was always to do a show with me so I'm sure he'll get back into it. He's been talking about going back to the masters nationals once he turns 50. Of course he would have to re-qualify but thats never been a problem. We were in pittsburgh last year and thats the show that really messed him up. He tore his bicep a couple weeks before the show. Lately he's just been training me and guys from the gym.

Thanks haz, now its your turn now man!! lol

[oldschoolfitness]

good job man!! live those dreams bro it only comes around once. nice to see your dad is well respected and there to help ya along. good luck

[Gucks]

thanks johnny. Does anyone have a guess on my bf? Just curious to see what everyone thinks.

im very impressed. im 19 aswell, 6"3 and weighed in at 186 ibs this morning. bf crept up to 12% though. i would guess ~6% definately sub 7% anyway.

wondering if should do a show this yr or not? my problem is that theres only 2/3 shows 4 guys my standard a year in ireland and ive gone from being anorexic, to being anti-anorexic now :P i will never think im big enough. i would need to cut about 12ibs of fat (assuming i was able to just loose fat) to be competition ready.

[kelkel]

Look good man! Rear delts very pronounced. I'm sure your parents are proud! Just stick to the basics and train heavy and eat. Did I say eat!
Good work!

[Hazard]

Thanks haz, now its your turn now man!! lol

Yea..... I've got plans to compete for sure. I've got a little something cooking right now..... and it's going to prevent me from doing a show this year lol. So I decided to try my best to hit 270 at 12% by the end of the year..... and then find a show in spring when i'll have more or a routine established.

Thanks man. I'd say go for it and compete, you wont regret it. It will give you so much drive in the gym.
