oldrookie-May picture update-Novice Bodybuilding

Oldrookie · 05-06-2006, 03:17 AM

I have decided to officially throw my hat in the ring as well and enter the novice bodybuilding contest. I went to see my first show in March and decided in April that I am going to compete in that natural bodybuilding show next March and this is going to be my motivation to get me prepared to step on stage.

Oldrookie · 05-06-2006, 04:40 AM

It is just a shelf with my daughter's paints and markers and stuff. I am in need of a little better backdrop for my pictures. Maybe I will find a better place by June.

I really appreciate the comments. Please provide any constructive criticisms you have. That is one of the reasons I decided to do this contest. It is a little scary to put your pictures out there, but it is also a way to really find out what aspects you need to work on. Anyway thanks for all who responded.

About my nickname, I just kind of chose it because despite lifting for about 17 years I am a complete rookie to actually attempting to become a bodybuilder. I played football, basketball, baseball and track in high school, football and baseball at a D-III college and semi-pro football and baseball so I feel comfortable competing, but being new to bodybuilding makes me feel a little awkward. I am 32 now, but I feel like I am way behind a lot of others even though I know there are some really awesome bodybuilders in their 30s, 40s, 50s and even older.

Wow great foundation OR. When I saw your pics I thought you could definately compete in the Open instead of Novice. You have great size and balance so once you cut down your gonna look mighty impressive. Glad you joined up and good luck the rest of the way! :clap:

Oldrookie · 05-07-2006, 04:31 AM

I did consider the open, but the freedom with any supplements had me a little concerned. The only supplement I have ever used is a simple protein meal replacement, so I was a little concerned about competing with those who are using everything. Also I figured this truly is my first bodybuilding contest as I am new to the world of bodybuilding. I don't know what the rules are for switching into the open, but if it is something I could decide to do later I may consider it.

welcome aboard OR, good luck in the competition. :nosthumbs
