Wow, welcome to the boards. You look great. I just noticed from your profile that you are an NPC judge. I'm about 5 weeks out from a contest right now. I know that it's tough from just looking at pictures, but there is a link in my signature to my most recent pics. I put new ones up each week. When you have some time, I would really appreciate it if you would give me some feedback. I have a pretty good idea what I think are my weak points, but I would love some input from an expert.
Thanks for your compliments on my pics - everyone has been so nice and i appreciate everyone welcoming me to the boards. You had asked for my opinion as a judge and competitor as you are preparing for a show 5 weeks out... I would be happy to comment:
I really like your shape - a very narrow waist and hips. really nice quad & teardrop development! I know you are dieting down now & not adding much size if any, but add'tl size is needed in your arms and shoulders. Not sure of your training program but maybe working shoulders twice weekly 1 light/1 heavy-and seperate your arm workout from other body parts (triceps & biceps) so u can blast them. I added a lot of size to my arms & shoulders doing this.
I also looked at your diet - which i would change. Maybe your body is getting too little food. Your metabolism might be slowing. I thought maybe you don't eat meat? I didn't see any..maybe something like this:
6 egg whites, 1 yolk
5 oz Tuna, 99% Lean Turkey, Chicken or Fish
with 1/2 cup oatmeal or 1/2 grapefruit
4 oz salmon (or other protein source as above)
4 egg whites, 1 yolk
WORKOUT
Post workout:
2 scoops of a clean high quality protein shake powder in 14 oz. water
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup Salad with 2 Tbsp Newmans Olive Oil &
Vinegar Dressing (low sodium, no carbs, just fat)
5 oz Tuna, 99% Lean Turkey, Chicken or Fish
-or- 2 scoops of a clean high quality protein shake powder in 14 oz. water
Protein & egg white pancakes
2 scoops clean high quality protein and 4 egg whites
Mix into a batter & make like pancakes
** I like Beverly's Ultra Size Vanilla (clean competition protein)
Well... those are my thoughts. Got rid of the cottage cheese and protein bar..competition diets don't generally have either - sorry. I hope you find this information helpful and if you have any questions, please let me know.
