2023 NPC North Americans
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.

Here are some of my favorite shots:

@PrinceDaddy you're looking good in the pictures but hard to say as there are no comparison shots, would be nice if you posted those even if you blur their face.

I think you do need to work on your vacuum and up the shoulders and back, that will take at least a year to grow into it.

if someone better shows up then you get 3rd. that is the thing about it. competition is important

 

[Mobster]

That's YOUR class. Drop the rest and create that illusion

[Quadsweep]

Peeps,

I'm a little down, but I'll get over it. Next year I move up and age group, Over 55, so I don't think I would do the over 45 class anymore, prob do the over 50 and over 55. I'll post what I'm thinking for next year later.

Here are a couple of comparison shots.

Some MP Comparisons:

@PrinceDaddy first it's normal to feel down after a show, especially you didn't win and that happened to me at the Montana classic before a long time ago, but I understood that bodybuilding is like sculpting, you don't always get it right takes time.

I suggest you work on bulking offseason CLEAN with lots of improvements we can work on as a team.

On the comparison shots, honestly I think you looked great on stage but had some flaws you need to work on (so did everyone there btw not just you). We all have something we can improve. After all we are taking steroids and bodybuilding, we all got body issues my friend we are all behind you, never stop and try HARD prince. You have our support.

lets see how @Pigsy does in the Mr. Universe
