Oh wow thanks a million Sassy! I really appriciate your feedback.

Front relaxed:
Ok so you are sying im not pushing my shoulders out enough? I like the "look" of how im standing. But if im not showing enough width ill change it.
-- I don't want to say just change what you do - but rather look at some other stances to see how you 'wear' them. One of the basic shapes you look for in both BB & figure is a straight line across the lats / clavicle and big caps on the shoulders. Take a pic of your shoulders pulled out just a little further & see how it looks. If it looks contorted, don't do it- make sure you aren't hunching up at your neck - but just see how it looks. If it looks weird, then go w/ what looks good to you.

Side chest:
You want me to twist towards the judges right. im standing to much front to back?
-- Again see how it looks to rotate just a little further. Also remember that you don't have to just hit the pose & stay locked there - half of the competition is playing to the audience and the judges. They paid money to come see you - you can rotate a little to show the judges - for ex if you are positioned in the middle of your class, your face may only be facing 1/2 of the judges in front of you -- go ahead and make sure all the judges see what ya brought! And again, I dont' mean contort yourself or overrotate to look weird - just display yourself to the whole audience, not just those on the side facing you. Check the photos in the link below -- lots of great examples of these poses!

About the hamstrings yeah. Im pulling the leg in towards the other leg, kinda sitting on it so that the hams pop. but i see ive forgotten to tighten my butt, but(t) ill do that as well.
-- Tighten that ass big boy I thought maybe you were sitting a little harder in the side tri pose than in the side chest - but again since I don't know if you are already sitting as hard as it gets or what, just wanted to point that out. Again its all about trying all sorts of little tweaks & see what makes your assets flex & pop the best.

Im gonna try the triceps grips. the way i do it now you get the mass of the triceps, but none of the shape.
-- Again just suggesting ways to get more out of it for the presentation -- the link below has great variations of side tris, and same comment as w/ the side chest - rotate your body and your shoulder to let the whole audience see - dont' do it fast, make sure to hold any variation you do for 3 seconds at least so you don't look like you are going too fast.

again, thanks a bunch

Here's the photos from the NPC Jr. Nationals this past July -- I thought that show was one of the best I've ever seen and the different line-ups show you all the examples of each pose you could wish to see. Also you might get some ideas of what variatoins of poses look good on your body type if you can find guys w/ similar shape in the photos.

Skip is one of the best. You are in good hands and it is showing. Great improvements bro. I hope they do drug test that show. Not only would it even the playing field for you but it is a classic show and should be a tested one. You should try to do some classic poses as well to show off your small jointed frame. Look for some pics of Steve Reeves, Clancy Ross or Ed Corney. Choose poses that show case an elegant/classical build. Good luck and I have a feeling you will do well.

Ps. DON'T shave the hair. You are right, half those guys are bald or have plugs. Just get it trimmed, especially on the sides so shoulder width is shown to it's best advantage. You could also gel it down as Arnold did at the 80 Olympia.
