So I’ve come back from vacation and finally had some time to get the pictures uploaded to my computer. I’ve got a bunch of pictures coming from each class so I’ll just post them through out the day. The picture above is me getting my 4th place award for the novice class (I placed 7th in Open). This was after a long day of posing and I was just ready to go home and eat 
I did get some feedback from the judges and their main comment was I needed to work on my conditioning (I already knew this). I dropped 50lbs to get to where I was on stage. Next year I won’t have to drop nearly as much.
Novice Class 7
That’s it for the novice class photos. I’ll post up the Open class after I get some food.
Geez, no one nailed their conditioning in that entire line up lol. You looked good though man, you definitely have good shape. Will look really good with some added mass and better conditioning.
I may be a bit biased, but in trying to be as objective as I can,… I think from these pics that it’s easy to see that you not only have a leg up size-wise on the other competitors, but also in your basic frame (you look balanced, and have more of an actual x-frame going on). Better conditioning will easily vault you over the competitors I imagine were placed ahead of you simply on their condition (which is usually how these shows are judged).

Hard to tell over the internet, but is that sarcasm or not? Lol. About the conditioning of the line up, not about me.
I’ll get Open Class pics up tomorrow. Off to the gym; gotta work hard towards my next show. I’m about 50 weeks out now

In this photo you show pro-quality shape and symmetry (and decent size)–you can go far in this sport if you choose to. Congratulations on an excellent first contest!
