Plan of attack:
Been bulking for 6 weeks or so. Four more weeks bulking. Then 12 week cut. Then a bulk to reset metabolism. Finally a cut to the IMPC top 3.

Well, congrats and good luck DJ! Your looking great!

**madman911** · 04-05-2006, 03:09 PM

You're similar to my build bro. I'm going to be gunning for you. I'm taking my pics tonight, but I don't know if I'll have time to post em up until tomorrow.

Good luck. You're going to need it.

pammiejoe6 · 04-05-2006, 03:21 PM

dude great shoulders! you have TONS of potential! good luck in the IMPC!

Trick D · 04-05-2006, 05:16 PM

Nice foundation, you can really do some damage... also I would never have throught you were at any more than 16% bf... You will do great... Keep it up

DJohnson · 04-05-2006, 08:40 PM

Thanks everyone.

And yeah, I definately need to work on my posing. I can do well in a mirror, but it's so tough doing it like you'd have to do on stage where you can't look at yourself and make corrections.

DawnMarie · 04-06-2006, 02:59 AM

Nice pics and good luck!!

Just keep practicing in the mirror. I have been working on my lat spread for a long time, and it's ALMOST time to unleash it on the world

I practice my poses in the mirror, and when I can do the pose right w/o having to think about and adjust myself, I know I'm ready to do it for the camera. My posing still sucks by a lot of standards but it has come leaps and bounds. I literally practice every day.... lol...... *hugs mirror*

I also think you will look a LOT bigger once you are posing a little better. (Another thing that's helped me is watching other people's posing routines... dude, posing is fun).

AND there is NO WAY IN HELL you are anywhere near 20% bodyfat. I'd be freakin shocked if you were over 15

DJohnson · 04-06-2006, 03:23 AM

Lol, maybe I should make a posing routine for November.

And yeah, I think I could do a lot better on the lat spreads. I can't really puzzle out the hand position. It seems as soon as I put my fists near my body my lats stop flexing.

And thanks for the BF comment.

Wherever I am, I'm not going to stop cutting until there's striations everywhere.
