9 Weeks out

[Chadd77]

Here are a couple pics of me 9 weeks out. This will be my first non-tested show. I did my first show (natural) last year. Please feel free to critique my pics. I’m 5’9” and weighing about 189 lbs right now. I was up to 200 lbs before I started my contest diet. It sucks getting skinny! :D The first shot I took is a morning photo. The rest were taken in the evening.

Damn.. looking great Chadd! Excellent size and proportions in upper and lower body. Looks like your cutting is on track :)

The only thing I see is that maybe your traps are lacking a bit of size, but it might be the camera angle?

Cutting is going well. Although right now I’m craving a large pepperoni pizza!

Thanks for being polite but it is not the camera angle. My traps are lacking. I have recently changed my workout routine to try and improve the size of them.

LOL... Trash ?? Polite??!! hahaha

OK, so why have you been ignoring them ;)

I'm in no position to give you advice but my traps have grown from just doing SL deadlifts; I don't train them specifically, but maybe it's a genetic thing. Either way, I don't see much room for improvement, as long as you keep cutting .

P.S. Your PM box is full

Hey it's been a week Chadd.. how's the cutting.. on track?

what do you do for lats? i've gotta get mine up to par, looks like something is def workin for yours

[Chadd77]

TP, thanks for the bump brother! Cutting is going well and the abs are coming in. I’m trying to do a lot of hanging leg lifts and other ab routines that target the lower abdominals. It seems like I am on track. I’m starting to lean out! I appreciate you asking.

Berniec, I always try to incorporate pull ups to every back workout and since my back is feeling healthy I started doing deadlifts again. I have always felt my back was lacking in proportion to the rest of my body. I’m hoping that the deads help that.

I'm about 187lbs right now. Each week a little more weight comes off. Not sure what my weight will be when I compete. This competition has height classes not weight. So whatever weight I am at is fine with me. As long as I'm shredded!!!!
