A few more pics from the show...

[needsize]

Still missing a roll of film but got a few more pics back..

put this one in as I remember some guys from the anabolic forum saying I had no hamstrings

comparision between me and the guy who got first

 

[needsize]

a couple more

damn that was close................... and you had some very freaky hamstrings.

if i had to be honest needsize, i would say your posing cost you the contest. in most pictures i see you with your shoulders slumped like in the first one, in the standing relaxed pose. but hey, its your first contest............. and you made your presence known........... keep that head up high, your a bad ass and you know it.!!!!!

[DrBones]

Dude.. you were way leaner than the guy who came in first...
Christ.. Fier did an awesome job on your diet..

BTW.... what did you wind up weighing in at?

thanks, the posing started off pretty good, but I drained myself so bad getting into that shape, that it got too hard to hold the poses, especially that standing relaxed one

Heres a few from the morning

 

[needsize]

I couldnt believe my weight the day of the show, I ended up dropping 13lbs of water in 2 days and coming in at 181lbs...I havent weighed that in many years

 

[Shak]

again...WOW.

i think you look better than the guy who came in first.

your legs look incredible...and holy crap, your stomach is awesome.

 

[gymrat]

You look incredible bro. It's hard to believe you got down to 181.

Well done!

 

[Backlash]

I'd say your upper body was pretty comparable to the guy who got first, but your abs had more definition and your legs totally dwarfed his. Even though you deserved first, second place is still awesome! Congrats!

 

[Deleted member 33117]

You did a good job bro. 2nd place is damn good. Just work on the posing and come back next year for the win.

 

[Griz1]

What everyone said!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[IronLion]

Great Job....imo you had a better midsection and better conditioning than the winner...the posing part will come with practice I'm sure....

 

[jackangel]

I agree with the others. Your abs not only look more defined than the other fellow's, but his abdomen has an unattractive bloat to it. Also, the shape of your pecs is better (imo) than his. I'm basing both of these comments off the last picture posted on this thread. It seems your quads are bigger than his as well. His traps and shoulders seem to have the advantage though. I don't know how much of this is due to posing and angles, though. In any case, you look rippedtacular. FWIW, I'd rather have your physique than any of the others shown in those pictures.

 

[needsize]

thanks again guys....

If I had of known how crappy you feel for the first few days after the show, I wonder if I would have still done the damn thing...

 

[Exodus]

I'm not quite that good, but am up 15lbs in 2 days, mostly just the water I lost, but I cant stop eating, even when my stomach hurts..

 

[JOKER47]

Jesus! You looked great! Hard to believe you got down to 181lbs!! Amazing.

And I agree with IronLion, your mid-section looked better than anyone else's up there.

Congrats man!!

[Yarg!]

Damn Bro, you look impressive. If you dont mind, can you tell me what exercises you do for biceps and triceps?
You dont have yo if you dont want to. Thanks.

 

[Tiervexx]

great pics. If you watch pro shows you’ll notice they all seem energetic and full of life, you looked a little drained. That probably cost you the contest. Did you take any caffeine pills or anything else like that?

 

[longarms]

You looked great, I think you were the best onstage, from the pictures. That's one hell of an 8 pack you got going on there.

I'm sure you have a long and prosperous BB career ahead of you.

 

[gymrat]

30lbs in just 24 hours!!!!

WOW.

It would of been neat to see pics of you at 160, then again at 190.

That's some crazy weight gain bro. Maybe you developed an over active thyroid problem post competition. LMAO>

 

[b fold the truth]

I think I counted like 32 abs that you have...

Heck of a job man...awesome!!!! Much respect.

[thebrute]

shit was close brotha.....just a little more mass and you would've stomped the fuck out of the competition...but all that aside you looked fuckin awesome!! congrats to ya again!! tb

Thanks bro, I cant find many of those abs today...

I am so into getting back into mass training now, so many things that I want to do this time around to make sure I come in bigger and better next time, its frustrating waiting for my body to get back to normal so I can get back at it

 

[juve]

I can't believe the other guy won...you're looking much more cut, especially abs, intercostals, quads, hams...and you got huge pecs. Of course given I don't see enough of the other guy, but from the pics provided I believe you were at the top; personally i don't see how the other dude compares to you, let alone being on top.

 

[Exodus]

lol....... just looked like i ate a bowling ball, still had abs, just with a distended stomach.

dont worry needsize, your body vastly improves inbetween each show!!!1

now get big and strong again!!!!!

[muscleup]

Damn bro...I just now saw this...I must say that I to thought your hamstrings were lagging...Well I was wrong...You look great...Congrats

 

[needsize]

thanks bro, I had a few people tell me I had no hams, I knew they were there (figured you cant deadlift 500lbs for 10's and not have them) just needed to get lean

 

[Dave949]

Overall you looked great Need and what really jumps out and screamed in my face was your entire midsection. I`m talking world class bro.

 

[c3bodybuilding]

That was damn close. You and the black guy look a lot alike bodywise. He looks like a tanner you and vice versa! With it that close, it had to come down to the posing.

2nd place for your first show is nothing to sneaze at. You did wonderful, and you made a dream come true. Now all you have to do is practice your posing and routine all year, and come in the same shape, and you will have it.

I wouldn't worry about bringing too much up. Perhaps calfs and lower back, everything else is perfect. Just work on the posing. Flex after every workout, practice posing 20mins every day. Hire someone who knows a lot about music, dance, etc. Don't laugh, they can help you come up with ideas you never even thought of.

You made everyone here at Elite proud. You did a fantastic job. Next time out it's yours. Great work bro.
