VENOMX UPDATE: 2.5 weeks out!!!

[Venom X]

Well its about time, sorry about the delay. Should have had these up this weekend. I snapped these real quick this morning before work, so these are on an empty stomache and stone cold, no pump at all.

All caliper measurements down putting me at around 4%. If i look soft its because im taking in 10grams + of sodium a day! I just can't get enough of it, its my new candy yum yum. So yeah i'm holding a lot of water which is probably why im weighing in at ~183-4 lbs. Gotta make that 176 cut off weight though.

I also think the light in this hallway washes out the cuts too, oh well.

Holla back at me.

Seriously though, what's the "plug" for? Those bottles don't look familiar......

[Atherjen]

WELL DAMN IF I DIDN'T POST UNDER THE WIFES NAME :bravonew:

The wife is camera shy lol, she has pics but won't let me post them.

The plug is for www.DesignerSupps.com We are sponsered Athletes by them. It's supposed to be in my sig but its not showing up for some reason.

[vigil76]

Let us know how you do

Looking good bro. What's your last week of prep going to look like? How's the blood pressure with your sodium intake that high?


I think some of your posing needs a little work. On your front lat spread I'd maybe hold a little higher on your side and maybe lean back a little, it tends to bring out the lats a little more (see my pic from last year below). Also on your side chest I think you could be flexing your pecs a little more, looks like you may be all concerned with your arm but ya cant forget that pec.


Your legs seem to be lagging a little bit, if I were you, I would live on the stairmaster until your a week out. Good luck bro and stay focused!

[Lmg2701]

O yea, you need to check with Bouncer about that signature. We have board sponsors who pay to have their websites promoted so typically things like that have to be okay'd by Bouncer 1st.

The Wife controls the diet, she'll probably chime in and talk about it, BP don't know i'll check it tonight, haven't even thought about it.

Good suggestion on the front lat its one of my least favorite, just needs more practice and tweaking. Oh i have a feeling there will be some definite improvement in leg separation over the next week we got plans lol.

I'll hit up bouncer about the sig. i don't want to cause any trouble. thanks for the headsup

[Lmg2701]

Get a posing video ASAP bro. I can tell by looking at your pics that you have a much better physique than the one you are showing. There's too much for me to go into but little turns here and angles there and I know you would be much happier with your pics. That's the thing about bodybuilding shows. Sometimes the best body doesn't win because they don't know how to present it. Don't get me wrong, I've seen people pose much much worse but I know you could improve on showing off what you've achieved by just a few tweaks.

[Venom X]

I have the perfect posing video, i bit overpriced but its got some good info. Gonna spend some time watching it this weekend

[TPTrash]

Looking great venom! Good symmetry and definition.. congrats on all your hard work to get this far!

[dreamgirl]

wow, you look amazing! good luck at your show! you should do great

[Lmg2701]

What tanning regimen do you plan on using? There's a few good ideas in the Competitive Bodybuilding Forum.

We've got that under control

That seems to be your answer to everything.....It may be a wise decision to allow some of the members here who have competed (and some at a national level) to critique what you're doing or at least give you a pointer or two. Just my $.02

Dude seriously, that is FIRST time i've said that! i've been VERY receptive to peoples critiques and am very APPRECIATIVE to all the pointers and help i've been given. If you think otherwise then maybe you should go back reread my posts. I don't know where this misconception is coming from. If i didn't want any help i wouldn't have even made a post. I know i have a lot to learn and will always have a lot to learn its part of the game but to make an assumption like this is uncalled for... Just my $.02

rado: thanks bro, i'm getting darker by the day should be black come show time. I'm gonna take care of the chest in the off season and balance out the physique, until then gotta work with what i got.

These are the comments I was referring to just so you could see what I was talking about and not think that I'm just some asshole who is chiming in to be a dick.


I try to give advice with your legs, you state that yall have tricks up your sleaves and that "we got plans".


I talk about tanning and you say "we've got that under control."



So like I said, the references are quoted above, I wasn't just trying to be a dick, but I wish you the best of luck bro.
