Prince 3rd or 1st or 10th we always and forever support and love you
Doing great don't give up
Agree Mobster, get the judges feed back and work on those weaknesses.
You’re awesome my man!
Wow, you did amazing man! Proud of you.
Don't hang the head low brother prince, Rome was not built in a day neither is attaining the pro card. I know one day you will achieve it and make the dream a reality.
Peeps,
Sorry it's been a few days since I have posted. I'm in the off season. I'm happy and disappointed at the same time.
Happy that I really pushed the bar as far as I could, came in with my best conditioning. Saw some shredded glutes. Did not cheat on the diet
Survived 100+ degree days and executed my plan as best as I could.
Disappointed that my placing were nowhere close to getting a pro card. Pretty much on the outside looking in. Some issues in my control others out of my control.
I have been going to the gym everyday and doing something of a workout. I'm not trying to push hard at this point. Just need to de-compress and find the hunger, desire, and ambition to go for it again. Sept and Oct are my months to just do that. Try to maintain some strength.
So, let's pick up where I left off:
Sunday Update: Chest Shoulders
Wake Up @ 190
Post Workout@ 185
Not doing any fasting
CGM not applied yet
Current Cycle : TRT + Leftover EQ
Test C : 200mg/weekly on Sat
EQ : 300mg/weekly on Sat (Until completion)
Adex: half tab on Sun/Wed
Show Date : Next year
This week I am feeling better and less lethargic at the gym. I am trying to just go for a fixed time and get it done. I am eating whatever my heart desires. Just getting my mind of bodybuilding, etc. Not going crazy, still remaining healthy.
I'll do my division thoughts and review next....

2023 NPC North Americans
Over 50 Class A Classic Physique: Placed 6th
Over 45 Class A Classic Physique: Placed 4th
Between this show and the previous show, there were some rule changes. For my height, under 5'6" and over 5'5" the weight cap was under 170, now it is 177. I noticed the CP guys overall were just much bigger. These would have been guy who could not make weight previously who now could. Also with 7 lbs of lean muscle, you are going to be much bigger on stage. I noticed the guys seem to have bigger upper bodies and arms.
I do think this was my best conditioning to date. I am probably 163 or so on stage. There is a link for judge feedback, I will submit and see what I get back.

Over 50 Class A Men's Physique: Placed 7th
Over 45 Class A Men's Physique: Placed 6th
I like the new Chula shorts. I think I look better than my previous board shorts. I still need much work on this class. I can't seem to bring the hard crisp look that I have in BB and CP to this class. I know it is a more relaxed class, but I look too relaxed and flat. I have gotten better every year, I just need to keep working on posing and flexing for this class.

Over 50 Welterweight Bodybuilding: Placed 4th
Over 40 Welterweight Bodybuilding: Placed 3rd
This is my favorite class. I was probably about 166 on stage adding more carbs from the previous day. MP and CP are on Wednesday, and BB is on Thursday. My conditioning is the best it has ever been. Really not sure what else I can do other than put on more muscle. I have not submitted for judges feedback but will do so.
I do think my problem is my midsection belly/lower back are just larger relative to my chest/shoulders. I think top level bodybuilders overcome this by growing those areas. You still have to create the illusion and hold the gut in, vacuums, etc. Still though if you can grow your upper body enough that can get the X frame proportions in better alignment.
