how many weeks now and how much do you weigh?
great work man! can’t wait to see a pic of you winning the overall! you look shredded!!!
as far as making the lats pop, before i pose i always open up my lat spead with a few wide grip pullups and it seems to make a big difference.
Front lat spread is going to be your signature pose looks flawless. No back/front bicep pose?

haaaa! Well I hope I can do that but we’ll see 
As far as the pullups are concerned I’ll try this! Thanks for the tips!
Its weird cause I have NO problem making them pop on my front lats spread though
You are looking great man, you make posing look really comfortable and natural which is a major +

I had a similar issue. Make sure you are’t bringing your shoulder blades to far forward. Not noticeable from a front lat spread, but very noticeable for a rear lat spread.
Shoulders are insane, legs are looking better. Only thing that seems especially lacking to me are lats and lower back.
Front lat spread looks fantastic!

Amazing that 16 weeks ago you were 205lbs, and are now so much leaner. You have obviously added alot of muscle in such a short time, great job.
5’9 200lbs in your condition is a big dude - what do your coaches expect you to weigh onstage have they given any indication?

Thanks a lot buddy! Ive been working on posing A LOT and some poses do come easy now. Some still need some work though
(namely rear lats, front double bi and side tri)

Totally agree! Lats could look better if I can hit the pose but I do agree they need work. Same for lower back

ha ha the worst thing would be if your scale is like 3-4 pounds off the one they use and you think you are going to make the the light heavies and then you end up stuck as the lightest guy in the heavyweight class. I think that happened to Skip in his longevity DVD actually lol.
Also more skip load stories plz =)

Haaaa! Well anyways I really dont care about what weight class I end up in as long as I look my best!!
This week load was a bit smaller, wasnt as hungry but still about 1600g of carbs, I think
Meal 1 : 24 small pancakes + with 3000ml maple syrup and 500ml energy drink
Meal 2 : 6 low fat donuts, 370g gummies
Meal 3 : 2 low fat donuts, 185g gummies, 500ml energy drink
Meal 4 : 1 full box of kraft diner
I really like gummies and pancakes! I will probably go back to eating some poptarts and rice krispies next week, I kinda miss those lol
