Absolutely. I guess I’m not that familiar with the judging criteria for men’s physique, but you blew those guys away IMO

x3!
Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback. I agree Myosin, I will definitely be switching to Bodybuilding.
I do have one more show this Saturday which is the one I had my eye on from the beginning. It’s INBF, everyone gets tested and it won’t be as big a show so maybe the judges will have more time to actually judge. Except for maybe two guys, the other top 5 guys in the Masters are not shown here in these pics, and I think my 6th place was a judgement call…I will say it was pretty close. But in the open, almost all these guys placed above me…which tells me they quickly got their top 5 and just threw everybody else in whatever order. No time to complain though, I’ve been focused on my next show and hoping to place in the top 3. If I don’t place… I really know I don’t belong in this category Lol.
Work on your lower abs, and keep your shoulders back more. Also tone down the gel and wear your hair a bit more conservative -they seem to like the college/all-american look.

Thanks for the tips brotha.
Sorry if this pic is too large I’m uploading with my phone. So for my 2nd contest this past Saturday, I placed 4th out of 6. It was a very small show so they combined the short and tall class. I’ll have more pics soon but I think I’m just too big for Physique…in natural shows at least. I think I was one of the leanest and most muscular guys but lost to a couple of smaller guys. Was being told by everyone I should be in bodybuilding so I’m definitely making the switch. I’m not really interested in being any smaller. It was a great experience though and I learned so much. It was an honor being around other competitors that went through the same sacrifices I did. I can say INBF is a great and respectable organization and I’ll be sticking with them going forward.
I’ll have comparison photos up as soon as I have them. Btw my first meal was a Seafood Burrito last night but I’m still going to enjoy my pizza today that I’ve been craving.
You look great brother. Men’s Physique is still one of those “everyone has an opinion” categories if you ask me. Bodybuilding criteria is a lot more concrete and easy to understand.
Switching to BBing should prove the right decision with your physique. You’re in too good shape for men’s physique -lol.

You really looked fantastic. Great work.
You look better in your before pic than some of the guys in the line up.
Great work!
You looked great Yodaddy, you should be proud! Definitely a physique id like to match down the road. Hope you enjoyed your pizza, have a Blizzard for me while you’re at it

Thanks brotha. Haven’t had my pizza yet but I’ll def have a Blizzard also…just for you buddy.
Thanks for the support guys. Here are the rest of the pics from the show.
Starting from the right, 2nd guy in black shorts got 1st, next to him in orange board shorts got 3rd, next to him in orange boy shorts got 2nd place, and I got 4th.
This is my critique sheet from the judges. So apparently, I lost due to my tanning?? 10s down the list but an 8 on my tanning.
I"m pretty confused, not only with your “notes” you received, but with the actual placings based on the posted physiques.
