Here's a little update on how I look at a little less than 8 weeks out. I've actually gained about 7 lbs in the last couple of weeks, although my bf% has decreased so so far I think I'm on the right track. Everything is working out how it was planned.. Gonna remind my stats.. 21 y.o. 205 lbs at the moment.. planning to get to 210 lbs and lean out more at the same time.. I've posted my diet a while ago.. I've made some changes to it, decreased my daily calorie intake down to about 3500 calories. My protein still high at about 350-400 g daily... All these things combined with a bit of gear are doing all the magic. Anyways here are the pics. Not perfect quality but still..

Holding quiet a bit of water here, more so than in my last set of pics, so I may not look as lean but like I said my bf% is actually lower

umm.. lol.. thx i guess... I don't think there's anything wrong with my shoulders, that's my opinion ofcourse but bringing them up won't be a problem if everybody else here thinks that they're behind.. Speaking of my glutes.. they're not hard or dry at the moment ofcourse.. You can see some striations from the side but not from the back ofcourse.. not yet, like I said I'm holding a thick layer of water and I still have 8 more weeks to get leaner so I don't think that I need to worry too much about them.

Yeah I'm still working on my arms as hard as I can. They've always been a little smaller than supposed to. They measure up to 40 cm, which is about 16 inches, so yeah that's not very big..

That front lat spread will be tough to beat.

However, I think you need alot of work on your posing. Your feet are turned too far away from the camera in the side shots, they're almost facing backwards. The two poses I don't see a need for improvement on are the front lat spread, and probably the rear lat spread.

Note: From the looks of it, your left quad would probably look much better than your right in the ab/thigh.

On your next bulking cycle, I'd focus on arms and overall leg size. The back/lats look fantastic.

I wish to echo what Flex said about posing. Your posing doesn't seem bad, but with a bit of work you'll look all the more impressive come contest day. 8 weeks is plenty of time for you to come in 100% at this contest and you're on track so far.

Thx all.. I don't think my posing is too bad it's just that I've put my cam on timer so the shots didn't come out perfect.. and yeah I think my strong poses are the back ones and the front lat spread.. Speaking of legs, I've been missing too many leg workouts lately so they're a bit behind but now I've worked out my schedule better so I'm not going to miss a single workout anymore.

Freak I think you look awesome, that front lat spread is going to be your money shot for sure. Everything is in great proportion, as long as you come in full and dry I do not see you having a problem.
What weight class are you thinking you will compete in and what is your height?
