Really? I only ask because you appear to have a fairly prominent case of gyno in the abs/thighs shot. Personally, I think this is what could have cost you first place. Your level of conditioning was far better than the other guys placing 1st and 3rd, albeit with slightly less mass overall.

Great job!

yes, really. hmm i see what you mean about looking like gyno in that picture, but ive never heard anyone else say that before, so i dont think i have any gyno

Sorry if this is a little bit of a weird post, but I feel it relates to the previous poster’s comments about gyno. I’ve always been a little self conscious about my nipples and worried about how they could affect my look on stage…I wouldn’t call it gyno, as I don’t have puffiness or swelling under/around the nipple area, but my nipples are just larger and softer looking than most guys in general haha. I actually prefer being a little cold when I’m shirtless so that they shrink to more normal levels, lol, I don’t know if maybe you can relate to this at all Grind? Again, sorry if that was an awkward post!

hmm well the only thing that comes to mind is that when i was younger like 13-16 people said my nipples looked kind of puffy, but im not sure if it was gyno or what, obviously at that age i had no idea about gyno.

however since i started bodybuilding ive NEVER heard a gyno comment from anyone so i dont think i need to worry really. consider the fact that shelby posted these photos on facebook, rxmuscle, muscular development, and professional muscle (steriod) central and not one person commented about gyno. I think its just the lighting on that particular shot

For sure man, I hope you didn’t take my post the wrong way! You looked awesome, I didn’t even notice any semblance of gyno or think of that at all until reading your exchange with the other poster. My post was more just asking a question for my own benefit or talking about myself haha

Really nice work! Just curious, how old are you?
