And one more

last one

As you can see, my legs definitely need to be much more shredded next contest, but that’s easy enough to fix. Overall, I was pretty happy with the way everything else looked though.

Have you considered not kicking so much ass so the other competitors have at least a long shot of winning?

Great pictures. Chest and mid-section are looking real freaky on the side ab/chest.

What’s the easy fix for the leg issue going to be then? Because they look huge but for whatever reason are holding water more then your upper body (not that I know what I’m talking about really)

Your legs looked great in those pre-contest photos, but they were definitely washed out at the show. What did Stu think?

Great showing… I am thinking your water manipulation was off a little hence the flat legs. But for a first time shot… not bad. What was your weigh in weight? Now time to improve on the weak spots and get ready again.

Great pics man. You’re legs look huge , delts look nice but is it me or is you’re left one a bit smaller? Either way great physique and its only your time.

Thanks for the comments guys.

For all those that are wondering about the legs, it may have been water, or it may have been that I just didn’t get lean enough. Speaking with Layne, he thought that the leanness we attained for it being my first contest and at my age was very good. Whatever the reason for the lack of separation may be, I believe that as I diet down more and do more contests, I will come in harder and harder each time.

Swolle: my weight was 198 on contest day. And yes, I don’t plan on competing again for a while. I want to really just bring everything up a bit and that will take time and also take pushing my weight up again.

Daze: It may be slightly smaller, but I am a righty, so that might explain why?

Haven’t been logged in for several months.

Can’t believe how good you looked come contest, much, much better than I had expected based on the pics on your first page.

Congrats man.

Haha, thanks man! I’m very happy with where I ended up as well. I think I made improvements in certain bodyparts during prep, which was awesome .

looking big man.

Nice summary Evan appreciated. What do your quads and arms roughly taper at at the moment then?
