I am almost 9 weeks out.

Critique is welcome, and encouraged.

Feel free to point out areas I need to work on, +'s, -'s

Shadow? Vel? Sassy? Daisy? 24? Comp people? Anyone? Bueller?

well I'm none of the above lol... but figured I'd come and drop ya my .02 cents anyways

I think you can def tell that you have some nice muscle there, thats obvious... and with cutting its gonna be even more defined (areas like the ham/ glute tie in and abs, etc) I went back and looked at some of your pics and know you are gonna look great... because if you click on the links and check some of aprils pictures (where it looks to be about the same place you are at now) then the changes in the May pictures and what you did in that few short weeks time is amazing! So I'm sure you will without a doubt be able to do it again this time around

Were you able to track down some pics from last years show and other winners for in state shows this year?

Last years pics were not available, but the show, same venue, earlier this year was. They are accessible through the links on the host site ... here is one pic

This girl took first

Sassy sent me a great link, from the jr nats in chicago. I am looking at the figure girls, tall class for reference & comparisions ... alot seem very slim

a reply!!! THANK YOU!! Thank you for taking the time to examine, MUCh appreciated!

abs - need more BuMpS lol

calves - self explanatory

ham/glute tie in - the booty is cute, but not for a comp, I don't want that crease or be the girl bent over on stage trying to hide it

I have this fear I am going to lose my shoudler caps & size with intense cutting (i.e. 4 weeks out with hour cardio AM/PM with minimal cals), which is why I'd rather go hard now (and eat for my activity level, not touch that yet) so in 5-6 weeks I can make adjustments & tweak what is lacking, not the other way around and be trying to make a deadline or waiting until the last minute ... I cannot tell you how much I do not LIKE that.

oi. maintaining mass while cutting hard is risky. this is the part of doing a contest that scares me. Everything has to be timed right, done right, etc or a body risks screwing it all up. lolol. are you relying on getting all your help here, or have you hired a trainer for the show? everyone here is on the same page, so you know the advice is solid, yet on the other hand - it would be great to have someone around "in person" who can see your body and be there. the bad about that is you get a trainer who doesn't share the philosophy of this board when it comes to contest prep/dieting/training - so you have to decide who's advice to follow....


I'm not helping. lolol sorry. my honest opinion is that The Shadow and Sassy will be able to steer you through it (and in the right direction) no matter what - so if they're willing to help you, I'd drain their brains all the way up till contest.

I did say 'anyone' that includes you hun You're words are always welcome, my intention was not to leave anyone out.
NICE CATCH by the way ... 4.8 weeks difference... from april14 06 to may 18 06

I just don't have the butt/leg shots .. hmmm

My training then was different for sure. Thanks Duckie .. HUGE help

 

[the-short-one]

I you

...until I tell you I'm thinking about doing a bb contest and you'll be sorry you ever e-met me. I'll hound you right through protan time.

 

[*Bunny*]

I'm not helping. lolol sorry.

You are most definitely helping girl! lol

My thoughts on a trainer ... It would be nice to have someone face to face yes.... but then again, the only thing I really need help with is face to face posing instruction. I'll just say at this time I am comfortable with my decision not to hire one.

As always, I am grateful & appreciate any feedback from anyone willing to help.

I cannot stand these cravings I am having.
Yes I am being such a baby but dang

This one is for red wine & chocolate

Hmpf!! Well having an "in person" trainer is HIGHLY overrated IMO - I've had 2!! Looking good Buns!!

 

[jenscats5]

holy bed sheet stains. I'm guessing you had to either sleep in the garage or you used old bed linen.

I put 2 fitted sheets on......a flannel one under a MIDNIGHT blue sheet.....still stained my mattress-topper....



Buns - it's sort of hard to critique someone's physique when prepping for a show as you never know what to expect & what the judges want when you get there.....*sigh* You know how to cut & looked awesome doing it......do the best YOU can & get critiqued to figure out what to work on for next time.....is this a NPC show??
