It's so nice having girl friends. the-short-one said:Jeff just did it.
He repeated each site until he started getting consistant readings:
chest = 3
abdominal = 5
thigh = 13
tricep = 3
Subscapular = 9
Suprailiac = 5
Midaxillary = 5
weight = 146
age = 34
bf = 11.12%
fat = 16.23 lbs
lean mass = 129.77 lbs
I was hoping it was lower.
I tried your protein brownie trick last night with Cinnamon Roll PP. YUM!!! I'll be making a mint chocolate chip one tonight. 
No, no-no-no-no-no-no, not whining ... I'm just a HUGE believer in the power of thought. The more you look for loose skin the more you're gonna see it.the-short-one said:I know - it sounds like I'm whining, huh?lol I don't mean it to be that way. If I'm looking at the big picture, I'm very happy with myself and how I look. No complaints - in fact, I feel blessed at this time in my life.
this is the first time I've gone through this - so when I make comments on things like my ass or whatever, it's because it's all new to me:
First time my bf has been this low
First time I've been in ths good of shape
First time I've had to pose
etc, etc, etc
I'm probably also getting nervous. I don't walk around all day wringing my hands or anything, but I still feel it. So - if it seems I need to be bitch slapped to bring me back to normal - please do so.![]()

...yep...its just nerves...once you have been dieting fot this long, you tend to lost perspective on how you are REALLY doing. All the skin pinches are super low except the thigh......BUT - you know you are losing there, so it is literall the last place it will come off....I think some of that is actually water as well...which will come off.
The 2 bf piche tests were absolutely as tight as possible when you have two folks doing them.....thats great news.
Fantstic job on the workouts.....Its tought to get the form on those modified shrug downs and rev dips - expect some soreness in the midback/trap areas today.
you have a TOTAL of 15 pounds of fat.
To get from 10ish% BF down to 7ish% means a loss of about 3% BF....at 150ish pounds - thats only about 5 pounds.
6 weeks = 5 pounds.
you are in a fantastic position this far out.
The Shadow said:There was a product called Thiomucase that was fatastic at tightening the skin.

the-short-one said:The real Thiomucase is made by Almirall. You can buy it in Europe, UK, Mexico, etc - but not in the US.
Jeff and I are going across the border today - (I can see Mexico from my backyard). I'll see if they carry it.
florencia said:If you do get it in mexico please give me the comercial name
Thanks I will look for it...the-short-one said:made by Almirall.
Commercial name is Thiomucase.

Miss24k said:You are looking really great TSO, I love your physique!

Sassy69 said:Thiomucase --- the formula was sold a while ago from the French company. I have a tube whatever is the new stuff at home. Can't remember what it is called but will look when I get there.
You'll start seeing the fat come off in the places where it still is. The loose skin is basically just where you've lost more bodyfat & the skin needs to tighten up. Use the YES. Hell, I slept in the stuff. As you diet down more it will tighten up. Just be patient.
You are at the point where you will see really dramatic changes but you aren't quite cut down enough yet. LIke Shadow said - you are right on schedule and to a point its all about just stickign to what you are doing, mentally sit back and watch the changes in your body as they come - don't feel bad because you aren't there yet - its all about getting ready for a certain time of day on a certain day - anythign too soon or too late is useless, so no point in worrying. If you get too lean too quickly then you won't be able to maintain it for show day and you will either spill over or start to get exhausted trying to maintain.
Awesome job on the bodyfat - you are right where you need to be.
Keep working on your posing - its fantastic for conditioning. And make sure you are able to hold each pose at least for 30-60 sec. Sometimes you get a bastard judge who likes to make you hold the pose. And its just not a bad thing to be able to do.
the-short-one said:I didn't go to Mexico today - it's raining cats and dogs here - so we're going to go tomorrow. There's a snow advisory for Tucson. lol wtf?? I'm tired of the cold.
How does the new stuff work?

And as a fellow tanning addict, you want to start now on pushing to black, you want to be crazy dark to bring out that great definition!

According to Shadow - I only have a few pounds left to drop - then it's all water.
btw - weight this AM = 145.![]()
The Shadow said:Excellent.
Good on the Mal.....tanning beds arent really the BEST way to get a tan for a bbing show....you need a combination of sun(or bed), pill and then possible some protan
The Shadow said:I think the sequence of posing is very good....in fact there is only one switch of poses that I was going to sguuest - but it really doesnt matter.
You will do the same squence for evening as morning.......you have more time at the night show.....so once you hit the mandatories......add in 3 extra shots that show your strengths.....
right now:
Abs/quads - vacuum pose with quad wiggle
Back Double Bi
Side chest and then drop to side tricep
and more like a 
the-short-one said:melanotan = subq inject. only downsides = slight runny nose and slight loss of appetite - although these lessen each time I use it.
The Shadow said:Melanotan I and II are both synthetic hormones of melanocyte stimulating hormone that were created, synthesized and developed at The University of Arizona and the Arizona Cancer Center. Melanotan I is a linear, full length peptide [containing all 13 amino acids]. Melanotan II is a shortened, circular version of the same peptide. Both have sunless tanning capabilities but because Melanotan II had spontaneous erection as a side effect, it is not being further developed as a tanning agent. It is now being evaluated as an erectile dysfunction drug."

I totally noticed in the pics she posted looks awesome!The Shadow said:btw - I had avis turned off.....
Anyone notice how caped your delts are getting??
Evenin that pic - the difference is very noticable

Now I really want some of this shitthe-short-one said:it causes random boners, or so I've been told. lol
I've become ther resident Melanotan guru, it seems. I get lots of PM's regarding usage, sides, etc. I really like it - and feel there are many benifits health wise - random boners are just a plus.
Us wimmins get a "tingly" sensation in place of the erection.

I watched the 2005 Nationals pre-judging until I found a sequence that was simple and not full of a lot of extra crap. I borrowed it and made a few changes to simplify it a little more - and also so I wouldn't be toally plagiarizing it.
I'm still a little slow - so have to keep practicing to get it down to 60 seconds. I'll make a video and post it.
Sassy69 said:Most importantly make sure you hold each pose for a 3 count -- that helps a lot to pace yourself on each one because I can almost guarantee when u get on stage you'll plow thru them so fast you won't know what hit. Just remember to do a 1-100, 2-1000, 3-1000 on each pose so its enough to count as a real pose and the judges see it.

- but lose the clown mask when you're on stage, they'll prolly deduct points for thatMavafanculo said:nice work there shorty- but lose the clown mask when you're on stage, they'll prolly deduct points for that

Sassy69 said:Looking awesome. A thought -- on your rear poses you are always up on your toes - yes it shows the calves, but also you may be wobbling on stage due to nerves or whatever - so make sure you have those poses on flat feet as well. I personally prefer one leg set back and flexed -that does give you the chance to show off your hammies & calves as well.
with the leg back. 
the-short-one said:I've been practicing it both ways. I feel (this is just my opinion) that I lookwith the leg back.
Maybe you could give me a hint on proper leg placement, so I don't lokk so![]()
Sassy69 said:Practice with it - stick it at different angles and see what exposes the best cuts. Its just a practical suggestion tho -- I don't think I've ever seen anyone do the up on the toes thing w/ a rear double bi. But you see lots of people wobble around trying to get up for the Show of Calves. The point of "presentation" is to hit your poses and hold them looking like a pro the whole time. The up on the toes thing won't expose your hammies as well as a leg back will.
I will always refer you back to that pic of Elena's rear delt and the Jr Nats graphicmuscle.com pix for good examples. You can plant your foot first, sit back on your ham to activate it and then hit the pose.
the-short-one said:ok. I thought maybe there was a certain foot position i was missing.. I'm having problems keeping my alignment straight with the foot back. I tend to lean.
I know it takes practice - and I'll be doing plenty of it. thanks, Sass.
Sassy69 said:Its still all about finding out what 1) allows you to do the best pose & show off the most stuff and 2) finding the variation that you wear the best.
I find the foot at a stance wider out gives me a better base but I think the leg in a little bit is more feminine looking - At least on me.
So just play w/ what looks the best for you. And remember when you cut up you'll need a place to show off your hammie cuts - side poses won't show that.
the-short-one said:gotcha.
This is why I see womentake the stance you're talking about and then slowly kick themselves in the butt before replacing it back to it's spot. to show off calves and hammys?

BIKINIMOM said:DAMN WOMAN...
Allow me to congratulate you on your stunning physique!!!!
Now, if I may offer some assistance with your posing?
Your legs are STUNNING but seem to overpower your upper body because you are not pulling your lats out fully. You have AMAZING bicep peaks but your chest seems to be lagging a bit. You have to change the arm placement a bit in the front double bi - bring your elbows up a bit and raise your chest pulling out your lats. This will make your upper body more symmetrical with your lower body and make your waste appear smaller giving you a better V-taper.
WORK ON PULLING OUT THOSE LATS.
Your legs are stunning, stunning, stunning but they are over powering your upper body.
Also in the side chest, try to bring that rear shoulder up a bit dipping a little lower in the front (this pose is also called the rib box). Think about dipping low enough to expose your serratous intercostals.
Your delts will need some work as well.
Also in your rear lat spread you are bringing your shoulders to far forward to the front of your body. This makes your shoulders appear even smaller. LATS LATS LATS... pull them up and out - not forward. I know this is hard as a bitch... took doofus me SIX MONTHS to get it down.
What I know about this stuff could be fit into a thimble and my comments were designed to help. I do hope that I did help.
I am confident that you will kick some ass!!!
Sassy69 said:Which is the shoulder you are having trouble w/ ? The right side actually looks like it can flare out further than the left on both your front & rear lat poses. Don't know if your left shoulder has a limited range, but if not and its just a tendency you have on the left side, might help to consciously relax it and let it pull like the right side does - it tends impact the symmetry a little.
blut wump said:On the side-bicep pose, is it worth rotating your forearm a shade more to tighten the biceps?
Looking ever more chiseled, TSO.
The Shadow said:Fantastic work on those pics.....
Lots of great advise on this thread.....dont get overwhelmed by all the suggestions - it will all come together.
I will have the next weeks stuff up a bit later today
the-short-one said:It never occured to me (in the beginning) how friggin hard posing was going to be. This really sucks. lolol
Sassy69 said:That's why I want to slap people who think BB is just prancing around on stage in a speedo.... Its one of the most retarded competitions in the world, but it has quite a history and tradition. I mean, if a guy like Arnold took ballet lessons in order to present better, that says something. It is truly an art form![]()
But to that point -- you are a natural at the side poses. Everyone has parts where they have natural gifts and other parts that just plain old need lots of work. This sport strips you down to exactly what God gave you to work with. There are no freebies or 'sufficients' here.
I guess consider this part of your indoctrination. I frankly didn't actually figure out the lat spread until this past summer.
