Contest Prep 06' (Current pictures)

[Panda34]

Hey everyone,

This is just a thread to track some of my contest preparation progress for my 06' shows. I am 18 yo but turn 19 in April, therefore this is a very special year for me since it's my last to compete as a teenager. I am extremely motivated to kick some ass this year. There is really nothing else to be said about how bad I want to get onstage again.

I bought a Digital Camera earlier today and still trying to figure out the settings. Anyhow, I did take a few pictures to show where I am at right now before I start dieting hard. This is the most improved I have ever been and the best combination of size/condition/and thickness before I go into prep. I have someone helping me this year, he is also competing and he is one sick looking motherfuker!!

I am not sure what this thread will consist of but it will be a good read no matter what.

Here is a 'relaxed' back shot. Sorry for not being centered in the picture but they all came out messed up. I am in a hurry to get some pics up so I didn't spend a whole lot of time with it. Sorry for the acne too lol..

This is the best my back has ever looked, period.

Only one more... lol, sorry, it's not fun taking pictures unless you are ripped. Plus, I need to keep somewhat a low profile with pictures since I know fellow competitors are on board! ;)

MM, everyone's fav. btw, I do have abs..

Lets go one more :)

Lighting is all screwed up, I guess I could go out and take another since I know how to change some settings but I am too lazy...

Believe it or not the quads are looking on point, pretty deep seperation and vascularity that is not picked up in these photos.

I must say the pics do you NO justice. I think a lot of it has to do with the quality of pics. Bad lighting can kill a picture.

Your back is looking LOTS better. You have even improved since the last time we met. You dont have to worry about chest/delt/trap development!! You look excellent in those areas.

you got pm

Thanks D.

You know how we do.. the 'starting' pics are always the hardest to swallow but it only gets better from there. I am 10 pds heavier from the last time we met and obvisouly more conditioned and improved so just try to imagine that lol.

I am around 205 lbs right now, best I have ever looked over 200. As anyone else the more fat I drop the bigger/better I look and even stronger I get on legs (I think the body works more efficiently and the cardio builds stamina in the legs). The next 10-15 lbs I drop *sloooowly* will look like 2 different people, I can't wait!!! haha

My measurments right now are: (all cold)
Arms- 17 1/2
Waist- 33
Quads- 26, this depends on where exactly you measure though so I think these measurments are BS
Calves- 17 1/2, ever since I've started training my calves have been identical to my arms :)
