Looking great bro just need to bring the abs out but to me it looks like you should have had 2nd at least those guys posing is terrible, your nice and wide with a good solid footing.

I seen this happen at my show an heard about it a bit lately where guys that were more experienced and def not as good overall scoring higher .. Politics... I got personally beat out by a dude that only had me beat in the upper back... I had him on arms quads calves gluts and posing/symmetry ... It was his fifth show in that area and he ha been in front of some of those judges before .. I feel like it's a little biased and corrupt some times but thus is how the protein bar crumbles! You deserved better scoring and next time you will get it

Yep Great! from me as well, as said above need a bit more work on those abs, but those wheels must be around 28'' allready.

You have a good solid base. One piece of advice that I can give is to not take any placing to heart. In this sport, there is no defined way to "win" such as scoring more touchdowns that the other team or knock/submit someone. It is a car show....you are being subjected to opinion and politics. In MMA they always say "don's leave it in the judges hands" for a reason. Take from this what is YOUR win. The fun of the community, the changes you make to your physique and the knowledge that you will take from each experience.
This sport can consume you if you allow it. You look awesome.....regardless of placing.......celebrate that!!!

Being consumed by bodybuilding is hard to not let happen... And something else that's a bitch is a depression I've sorta developed since my show... But all in all im happy just not satisfied. There will be much more growth before I'm back on stage, which should be next year

Probably should have talked with them but didn't.
