23 Yrs Old, IFPA Hopeful, 166lbs


This is me in October of 2012, 3 days out from the first of the two pro qualifier NANBF shows I competed in back in 2012. I had two disappointing second place finishes in Open so I did not receive a pro card. I would like some feedback as I have just started my gaining phase about 4 weeks ago. Currently I am 193lbs at 3500 cals (50% carbs, 20-25% fat, 25-30% protein).

Last gaining phase I hit a peak of 218lbs then cut down to 166lbs (as seen in these pictures) it was a rough process lol (52lbs!!!). I am trying to work on chest and shoulder developement and of course overall size, but hey Im natty and only 23 so Im doing my best. I would love some feedback as I am trying for an IFPA pro card again in 2014. Let me know what you think.

Also I have uploaded a video of myself posing on youtube, I would put it on this post but the vid is too large, so if you want to head over to youtube to watch that my channel name is OrganicGains and its my only video (I just uploaded that a few mins ago so it may not be up until later today)

Looking great dude! Very well balanced physique. Solid back, shoulders and arms. As you said chest, especially the upper chest could be thicker, and also some more lower body mass, especially in the calves, would not hurt.

Props for staying natural and keep up the good work! Gave you an 8:)
