Awesome physique man. You belong on that stage, and I'm sure next time you will get that pro card.

What was the experience like being at a show like this one?

very calming. no stress.
everything was done to make us - athletes feel good, timing was perfect - so I could calculate my time, pumping, eating up etc.
tanning service was great - touch up's before the stage. so all that takes lot of stress off our chest so we can focus on our job on stage.

NPC all the way baby - the level is different.

the package was OK, I will try to come in next time bit more dry and bring up those wheels - I still got 5.5KG free space to add to my weight and Im so excited!

Thank u man - I really appreciate what u say, I will give a battle for that pro card ,surely.

You should work on exploiting your side chest and lateral extension poses with one hand while flexing the other arm.

what u mean by that? sorry , my english might not be so good to understand at first

 

[Beti ona]

You should work to make your pose look like how Bumstead executes it, although I'm not sure this is your best choice for the classic pose. You must squeeze the quads in this pose, you are not doing it, and expand the lat.

On the side chest, you should rotate your torso a little more to show more amplitude, you should flex your leg and squeeze it with the supporting leg.

And well, I'm Spanish, just if you don't understand what I'm saying, look at more pictures of any pro show, watch videos or hire a posing coach.

 

[andy]

thanks for the input man, i deffo need to work on that front pose a lot

 

[Beti ona]

This was your first show ever?

You look shy and like you are shrinking your muscles, you should be confident, tighten your legs and expand your lats.

You could also improve your peak week to look fuller, your tan, all those details are important.
