This is one of my friends who is your weight. However, I think he is only 160-165cm tall and around your weight. I don't know if you get guys in your comp looking like this guy, but should give you a target for areas to improve... like this guy's chest is so big it looks like double D tits.



Neverthless, keep going... keep improving... let us know how your progressing. I'm keen to know. Thanks.

I am 5,6/168cwm

Thanks - feedback is priceless in this game and it's appreciated. The positive thing is that even through my novice eye I identified those very same weaknesses. A bit of background on me - I did my first two physique shows (sept 14, April 15) pretty much only doing Crossfit, then a bit of crossfit and traditional bodybuilding training. So I have only had about 3 months of training like a proper bodybuilder, I was natural until January this year too, so the gear is something new to me.

Chest and quad width is something that is a priority, a rotator cuff injury pretty much wiped out any chest work for a few months from November-January so I know I am playing catch up on an already weak area. I have been working legs twice a week for the whole of 2015, so going to really work on improving them continually.

Funnily enough we have been focusing flat out on my read delts in my shoulder work too, making sure they are hit first in the workout and making sure they become part of my back workout.

April 26th was my last physique show, had a rebound week back up to 80kg due to a family holiday, so didn't even start dieting flat out for this show until then. Got 18 days to go, so it was just about making weight and bringing the best I could for my debut. With all what I have learned and am learning all the time, I think with a proper 12 week prep, I can bring a much better package to my second show in September. That said, it's appreciated you taking the time to have a look. Thanks
