Hey guys I am currently 3 weeks out from the Northeastern Pennslyvania Natural. DIet has been tough but worth it so far. I started out around 181 and currently am down between 172 and 171. It has been awsome watchin my body transform over these past 9 weeks and i am so excited to get on stage and showcase my hard work. Any input would be helpful, i will get better pics up next week when i get my real camera back. These first couple pics are just off of my cell phone.

One tip would be to practice your posing. Looking at those pics you could be hitting those shots to display your package better (e.g. arms in the ab pose could be better positioned and tensed).

Lookin pretty good so far...i'd agree to just keep practicing the posing, and to keep going tanning, your pretty white, haha. Interested in seeing some more pics as well to see what you strong/weak areas are. When we can see those, we can let you know what areas you should show the judges more. Good luck, and keep up the hard work!

You look good, but it's hard to tell from the pics.

It seems you are on the good track, 3 weeks is a lot of time.

No matter how you think you did, as long as you learned from the experience, that's all you really need. Hopefully you learn how to apply Pro Tan next time though, haha. The lack of color is really hiding all your cuts.

Damn good job for you Milligan41088! I think you did a lot better then most people would in a first competition. It is a learning experience, and I hope one day I'll experience it too. :)

What's it like on stage? Were you nervous?
