5 Weeks Out
I AM NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW...
My upper body is coming along nicely but I am not happy with my legs right now. My calves aren't bad but my thighs are NOT tightening up the way I want them to. I plan on ramping up my cardio this week and adjusting my diet 5 days earlier than planned. Don't hold back on the criticism but I am 5 weeks out so I can't go changing my attack too much. Also, I hurt my damn lower back a week ago Saturday and I can't seem to do much. The following exercises render me useless; squats, leg presses (heavy), hack squats (heavy), deadlifts, bent over barbell rows, SLDL and a few others. I have been trying to go high reps on leg presses and hack squats with medium weight, HEAVY knee extensions, lunges to exhaustion, everything heavy for hamstrings except no SLDL and basically isolating upper back movements (I can do Hammer Strength rows etc). Any advice.... Oh - and I wanted to wait until I was happy with my leg definition to post these pics but what the hell, it's not going to change anything by waiting......

Is there a typo in the second sentence? You said you weren't happy with your legs, your calves aren't bad, BUT your thighs ARE(?) tightening up...

If you think you look great, then there is no need to worry. It sounds like you are doing everything right. I always hate when people are training for a show and then you hear them talking about how then went out over the weekend and got smashed. Pisses me off. Seems to me like you are taking this very serious. I respect that.
From the pics it does look like the legs are lagging but you have 5 weeks left. That is a lot of time. My body always transformed the most in the first 2 weeks and then last 2 weeks. Is this a natural show??

Here's the latest... 1. My hamstrings are overwhelmed by my quads (not that my quads are huge - they're just not proportianal with my hams as I have had a hard time gaining size back there) and my glutes are large (ghetto booty  ) which doesn't help my hamstrings out at all. 2. My quad definition will probably come in last but according to my help they have great shape and size etc. 3. Calves are looking pretty good. 4. Waist is a little too large for my current stats but as I gain size elsewhere it will come into its own (for future shows). 5. Abs will come in last but they are in decent shape. 6. Chest is good, shoulders need a little more depth, upper back needs a little more width but isn't bad, lower back needs some more thickness (but I've been limited recently with some pain issues), arms are proportional but they can always be bigger (p.s. my right may look bigger than my left?). Overall, I have been instructed to up my carbs a little as I am looking a little flat too soon. I won't cut sodium until 2 weeks out (I was shooting for 3 weeks out) and I am practicing posing everyday (I do have some room for improvement there). Also, I am going to be competing a week sooner than I planned but I am happy with where I'm at so no worries. The show is not natural so I will not be in the same realm as my competition (most likely) but I'm not going to sweat it. I will be hanging with the big boys someday but right now I just want the experience under my belt.

Just another update. I am exactly one week out - and anxious as hell
...My legs have lost some size but they have leaned up a hell of a lot better than I was thinking they would. I looked back over some older pictures and I have come a LONG way in the last few weeks. I used to think that I looked ok but looking at me now I used to look like a fat slob (not really but yeah). On a side note, what is the hardest part about all of this for you guys? I tried cutting carbs and then dehydrating a for two days (about 2-3 weeks ago). I was extremely happy with the way my body responded and looked BUT I felt like one of the "walking dead." So, my vote goes to dehydration as being the worst part. Ya'll?

Well - I am in love
 I loved the way the show turned out. It was ten times bigger than I had planned on doing for my first show and I think I learned a TON. I placed fifth in my open middleweight class and eigth in the novice lightweight class (anyone under 176.25). I wasn't exactly happy with myself but with the knowledge I gained I can't complain (however, the second through seventh place folks in the novice class all took the top spots in their open classes). Either way, I could have placed better if I had just presented my body in a better way (posing issues etc). I will go into details with pictures etc in the next day or two. I just got home and have to get ready for finals week at school so...

that's really awesome, good, strong showing...keep a lot of those lessons that you learned in your head, and take it to battle after finals when you hit the gym again and start getting ready for your next show
when is it? Also, sorry to answer your question 3 weeks late, but the first thing that always shows on me are the striations in my delts. As soon as I start dieting for a week or two, they come in. Everything pops up as I get closer, but what usually comes last are my lowest abdominal muscles
