First Contest

For those that enjoy deadlifts, here’s my final set of 5 with 500 from today. I’m trying to focus on not grinding out reps or going to failure. I’d say there was 1-2 left in the tank here without starting to hitch. On the first set, it felt like I could have banged out 8-10 pretty smoothly.

You got wheels like a tank tread my friend. But are you flexing on them or just letting um hang?

Well, I’m trying to flex em’! Check out my latest ‘quad pic.’ [/quote]

That’s much better. Your looking pretty impressive.

By the way, what are your plans for tanning/color?

I’m not entirely sure, but Layne will go over that stuff when the time comes…any recommendations/thoughts though?

Took this at the gym after my PM session, thought I’d post it. Camera is broken, so I took this with my phone.

Smile! Well at least look like you’re having fun (even if you’re not). The judges will notice.

I might have to try something similar. Getting annoyed with my fiancees ability to take a good pic.

Hopefully my new android phone will have good enough quality and be easy enough to upload from.

Looking good my man, keep it up!

Ya, I much prefer taking videos, as you can actually practice your posing and transitions. While my girlfriend does take good pics, videos are a better representation of a physique IMO.

As always, I appreciate your comments!

Haha, I know, I’ve been trying to more in my poses!

I’m gonna take an actual video tonight with all the mandatories, so I’ll smile then : ).

Evan’s doing a contest?! Nice. You’ll kill it bud. It’s no doubt you know how to work like a slave to get things done.

Haha yep! Doing a contest!

That’s always been my mentality and always will be brotha. Nothing beats hard work.

Speaking of hard work, watching you in those indigo vids, you’re an animal. Keep it up.

Thanks, Evan. It’s awesome lifting with a group of guys who are there to do work and nothing else. Hard to find that kind of environment.

Looking great, nice job on the posing in those videos – BDB is looking sweet!

Update pics.

Bodyweight this morning was 206.0, the lowest it has been in the diet and down about .5 lb since last week. I am feeling good about where I’m at leanness wise and size wise.

Strength is still there, and actually increasing on some lifts.
