    You are so helpful!!! I actually worked o. That this morning. I am still looking for the best way, but I need my son to take pics so I can focus on the pose.

    Just scour on-line BB-ing sites and find a pic that you like and copy it. The pose should fit you and make you look good. If it doesn't, simply don't do it. Guys also always think they have to have all the "mandatory" poses within their posing routines. Not true. If one of the mandatories is a weaker pose don't insert it in your routine. No reason to.

    Remember, we are not all Frank Zane style artistic posers. Look at most pro's today and their routines are quite simple. They show their strong points over and over again with slight changes and walk off.

    Have him video your routine. Pay attention to the transitions. Going from one pose to the other should be smooth and fluid. If you can be higher than him it will show the angles the judges see. So you may need to tweak your angles to show yourself off better.

    You got this old man.

    You and Kelkel are going to make me a great performer. That is what good bb posers are!

    Have you ever tried the 3/4 twisted back- it is hard shit! I like the twisted because it shows off my big back and makes my waist look small.

    Damn- I hit a brick wall.. the lack of carbs just hit me all of a sudden.
    I have had two people at work ask me if I’m OK.
    I’m going to try HIIT tonight. I’m not sure if I can. Oh man, I could just lay down in a ball and sleep. I need to drink coffee to stay awake.

    I can't imagine how hard contest prep must be, especially so close to the event. Hang in there, buddy. You got this!

    Suck it up buttercup. Monster or Red Bull. Steam some broccoli. Get your mind right. This ain’t shit. You’ve been here before. A short time of pain for a lifetime of glory. It sucks. I know it does. But you have to embrace the fucking suck. You are the baddest mother fucker walking the planet. Remember that and conduct yourself accordingly. Pull your shit together. Get your head out of your ass. You are tougher than you know. Get tough. Get mad. Get mean. Get through.

    I really don’t want to kick your ass..but I will if I have to you sob. How bad do you want this? It’s all in your head. Conquer your head and you will control your body. Where is the Charger I know? You dig deep. You got this. You got this. YOU GOT THIS.

    Charge when this is over start hitting slin like a sonofa bitch and use rapid acting.

    With the weight you are holding and how you look this next bulk will be phenomenal if you just pound slin and food.

    Just awesome man

    Second pose shows better. Delts are looking capped in it and horseshoe is pronounced.

    LISS fasted cardio today. Energy levels were low but I pushed past them. GH wanted me to save glycogen with the LISS. I posed and looked flat. Going to start loading carbs. This is something new to me so early. GH’s cycling protocol was also new to me, but it produced better results so I’m sure that this will too. I just don’t understand it totally so I feel handcuffed for making changes on the fly.
    I also am having cramping issues. I definitely need to get this under control or I’m doomed. I had issues a couple of years back. It is the worst feeling not to be able to flex the muscle completely and to have the pain of the cramp. I was actually lucky because I was able to mask it.

I told my wife you have to get out from under me go back there and pull my leg back down. It hurt like hell. I however powered through ad finished what I started. This time on the bottom so I could keep my leg straight. Lol

    I’m sure you have seen this before but it’s so simple and good. He’s not running around the stage going crazy. He’s deliberate with every move.

    Feeling great! I’m going to have a little extra LISS cardio this morning.
    Peak week is upon us. I’m a little nervous because I keep changing my routine. I’m going to nail it down tonight. Get my timing and everything set. I also still need to edit the music to length.
    I have tomorrow off so I have a great deal of time to practice.
    All hair removed. I am getting airbrushed tonight. The only reason I am going for the airbrush is to become more uniform. The lats are a little whiter than I would like. This “tan” will last approx 10 days.
    I am owning this one. Tomorrow night we have the meeting and then D day.
    I have a much better version this year over last years. I just need to remember to take my time posing. Last year, I rushed it and at the end was wondering when it was going to end. I was making up poses and luckily no one noticed LOL
    Missed tying for second by one point last year. Not this year. I do not know how the competition is going to be and I do not care because I cannot control it. I just need to focus on the things that I can control.

    Thanks everyone!

    We will see today. First time wearing short sleeved shirt since I started working here. Tired from lack of sleep however energy levels are good.
    I did notice that I lost some definition in my abs and my back still has a lot of water.
