Thanks for the responses
My goal is to do my first show next summer. Middleweight Novice ofcourse. Here are some answers to some of your questions.
Andy13...I train my abs a little, but no too much emphasis as of yet. I do not have a lot of things to my advantage, so I want to keep my waist small, but define my abs.
nyironman...Actually my lower pecs are more developed than my upper. The picture just does not show that, lighting sucks. Anyway, I will try to get a better picture of my chest, maybe side shot or something that gives a truer image. BUt then again, more development in the lower chest (like every other area) wouldn't hurt.
Carrera...I did legs the other day and puked 35 minutes into the session. I did another 15 minutes then barely made it up the stairs. Opportunity Cost!!!
DCS...No, I do not run much at all. But 6 years in the military wearing heavy combat boots while hiking didn't hurt.
the mechanic...Luckily, I have a trainer that can't stand the mens health look. He is all about training for competition and mass. He has won several shows and may be going to the Junior national next year. He already won the open in heavy weight 2 years ago and took the overall in his division. I will post a picture of him later.
BigPhysco...funy you should mention that, I have never looked my weight, even when I was 130, 140 160 and so on. I just have a very small frame and it takes more to look bigger.
Maxes.... Only 2 "real cycles", I did a couple a couple of BS ones a couple of years ago when I didn't no shit about what I was doing. Just started growth, T3 test and insulin. Can't wait to see the results 8 months from now.
Here is my progress:
Arms are and shoulders are starting to come out and I am happy with the progress there, not very happy with my back though, especially the lower lats...it's like "Where are they?". Legs I am confident will start comming thru, I just have never really hit them until the last four months so it is too soon to tell how they will do. I don't think my calves or abs will be a problem as long as I keep consistantly hitting them.
All in all, I am some what pleased with my progress. But I want a lot more and I am having to struggle to keep my protien in take up. One day I am hungry all day, the next I am not.
Again, thanks for all the replies and critiques, please keep them comming and I will kepp you guys updated. This is very good for my confidence and helps me stay commited.
Tanks again!
