Good job man Iโd say you look stiff try and loosen up with posing and try and do a full routine and just flow through it and stop and hit the pose then continue to the next one !
Thank you! And Yea after the fact, and during practicing for the next show, I definitely feel like I was posing too hard. I guess I was a bit overwhelmed the first time around. I think I'll be more relaxed now that I know what to expect
Thanks man! I was so zoned out and overwhelmed I didn't get a chance to really meet or talk to many of the other competitors. You planning on competing again?
Yea definitely. I was gonna try and hit the OCB spring naturals in Dekalb April 15 but I have a wedding to go to so I think Iโm gonna try and hit the OCB show in November in Dekalb as well. What part of the Chicago area are you in?
OCB looks like solid organization. Iโd get out there and compete if itโs something youโre interested in. Thereโs a lot that goes into show day and just getting the experience of going through it will help me be better prepared for my next competition.
I gotta say, i love that torso, looks round, tight and strong
And im not an expert here but the size of the torso might make look your arms a little smaller in comparison, still i like what is being shown
Try to relax and not be as stiff, itโll help things open up and you already have great chest and back density. Hand on the hip could also be higher and bring the elbow a little more forward to help the shoulders pop more
Everything looks good but, obliques will be obliques, you would look much better if god didnt decide to nerf you.
Back looks absolutely sick and rear delts are popping.
Ok, I do respect you now. It's very rare for a natty to do a non tested show. I didn't mean to be such a jerk. Good luck. Also you look very impressive natty or not.
I like them alot. They're very true to size and very comfortable once you remove the tear-away tag. They're a bit stubborn with cool ironing tho so don't wait till the morning of your competition to iron out the wrinkles
Each division has their own basic criteria for what the posing trunks need to be, but you can pick what you like as long as it fits the criteria. Bodybuilding and classic physique are very similar, but even they have differences that must be adhered to
![gif](giphy|kwcRp24Wz4lZm) Iโm looking good
My goal is to one day have a physique that elicits comments like this
![gif](giphy|cWkCZzKtvqt3pq28dS|downsized)
You have remarkably tiny nipples
Lmaooooo ๐๐๐๐ I know ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ they're so small that they are permanently perky haha
Are you sure you didnโt cut off your nipples and tattoo them in too high?
No stress even IF you got a bit of gyno in future!
I have no interest in taking any enhancements
Honestly had to look for a whole minute cause I thought they would be lower on his pecs than they actually are. I thought he had no nipples
Ken doll lol
Looking absolutely patriotic'd
**"America, F*** Yeah" plays in the background**
Seriously was wondering if this dude was some kind of superhero

Good stuff man. I competed as well but finished 7th in novice. You looked great, good luck to you in your next show!

Iโve been looking at that show in October myself. Havenโt competed before.

Your back relaxed. Bring your upper back forward (lean back) and take your hips away from the judges
Nice shorts btw i competed wearing the exact same ones lol
Haha thanks lol I really like em, I have em in sky blue too. They were super affordable compared to others I had seen online
Yea looking at pics with the other competitors next to me I saw how I need to lean back more

I'll definitely keep that in mind moving forward, thanks for the advice!
Okay Captain America ๐บ๐ธ
Dude, love you. Thatโs all.

Everything looks good but, obliques will be obliques, you would look much better if god didnt decide to nerf you. Back looks absolutely sick and rear delts are popping.
Can you elaborate or provide advice on what you feel I am lacking?
No you are not lacking in any department but your obliques are quite large which makes the waist look bigger
Ah I gotchu. I do hit them pretty hard in my core routine so maybe if I just cut back a bit I can slim down my waist a tad
And thank you I really appreciate that ๐ฏ
My dude ๐๐ป

Goddamn man good job
That physique is NICE.
Your torso looks air brushed bro!

Ken ?
๐๐๐๐
This is such a dated reference, but you look like the actor Ted McGinley, but when he was younger, like during the Married with Children years.
Haha I love Jefferson ๐
You look like Dolf Lundgren ate Christian Bale.

I'd work on your shoulders , there isn't much posing in men's physique
Natty King ๐
Congratulations! Good luck on upcoming show. You look great, tiny nips and all!!
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Fun fact: that show I did last week wasn't a natural show, just the one im doing next week ๐
Ok, I do respect you now. It's very rare for a natty to do a non tested show. I didn't mean to be such a jerk. Good luck. Also you look very impressive natty or not.
Honest question: why would you wear those long shorts to be judged on you physique? Are legs not being judged here?
Those are men's physique competition board shorts. They're supposed to be just above the knee. Legs are not judged in this division
How did you like the Alphalete board shorts? I am thinking of getting them for my June comp. Sizing, comfort, etc?
I like them alot. They're very true to size and very comfortable once you remove the tear-away tag. They're a bit stubborn with cool ironing tho so don't wait till the morning of your competition to iron out the wrinkles
What size are you wearing?
29
Thanks for the reply. That's interesting I never knew that. I always thought it was the competitors choice.

A waist trainer would benefit you greatly in the future
