Justtryn APRIL Photos - MIP & Open Class

justtryn · 04-03-2007, 05:36 AM

Ok - first thing learned - set the pic quality to a higher level. Second thing learned, I look like crap in these pics - hell maybe in real life. I like my mirror much better. Third thing learned, I'm not coordinated enough to flex all the right muscles at the same time! I SWEAR I have biceps!!

Sigh. I cannot BELIEVE I am actually doing this. It's one thing to talk about it, another to do it. I have A LOT of work to do.

Second set - I think I looked better in my relaxed poses!

Last set

Last set up! Good stuff. Lookin' huge brother.

Can't wait to see what you'll look like in 8 months. Someone's gotta give Viperspit a run for his money

Good luck to you!

Thanks, JJ... I have a feeling the huge you are seeing isn't the same one I'm seeing.

Wow! Your too hard on yourself bro. Your built like a friggen tank!

Posing needs a lot of work but hey you've got 8 months to practice. You cut down with all that mass and look out everybody.

hibiscus09 · 04-03-2007, 01:13 PM

Ha,ha Mark -- you sound like me. Well, our perspectives are apparently more accurate about you than your own and I think you look great. The first thing I noticed was how great your chest, back and arms look. You most definitely have a lot of lean mass in those areas. You're going to cut up nicely!

I have to post my photos on Thursday before I go out of town. It's time for my period. It ain't freagin fair. :lol3:

Thanks, DF! I appreciate the comments.

Like said above, you are a tank brotha!!! Don't be hard on yourself at all Mark. You look great and in 8 months you are gonna be awesome. You definately already got me beat! Good luck Mark!

**madman911** · 04-03-2007, 03:40 PM

Man, I just shoulda stayed in the novice... I'm totally outta my league.

Damn you're hyooge bro!!! I feel very small right now.

justtryn · 04-03-2007, 11:04 PM

MM - If I can't get lean, you'll be safe...that and posing. But thank you... to you, and everyone.

**davtown** · 04-04-2007, 12:04 AM

just like the others said, you've got some kickass muscle going there.... regardless of where you place I'm sure you'll be quite happy with the final product if you stick with it!

7 months to lean out? You are going to come in looking monsterlike man! While we are all competing I can't wait to see what you pull off!

davtown - thanks, man. I'm sticking with it. Can't see any other way to go. I want to reach my goal... and I'm GOING to do it!

Hey Stonecold - thanks, bud. The key is to hold on to the lbm, and get rid of the blubber. I'm hoping to get down to 13 or 14% by the time the big cut comes in July. We'll see how it goes. Like I've said elsewhere, my primary goal is to make it through the contest and hit November's pics at 8%. Hell, if I get to 10% I'll be jacked. I've never been below 16% in my life!

Chi_town · 04-04-2007, 01:17 PM

Mark looking great already.

Once cut, you are going to look fantastic.
Best of luck to you. You almost make me want to do the open bb comp and not just the most improved.

So do it my man!

Hey man good luck, can't wait to see you shredded! Just as a pointer, try to lift your elbows a bit more in the front double biceps pose, it will widen your lats and adds to the aesthetics of the pose. Good luck.
