How Many Of You Compete?

[n3rd]

Pics are from my last show- Men’s Physique (Masters) won 2 1st place and a second place (over all)
Stage weight was about 181-183lbs.
This year I’m pulling out all the stops.
Currently on a “mini bulk” till about Christmas time, trying to hit 200lbs before I start prep in Jan.

I have in the past, and we have a few members here who do - even a couple ifbb pros such as @PHD @USMCInfantryBrothers and I think I’m missing someone else.

Then you have @rnmuscle who is a wealth of knowledge

Oh yes, I know @PHD. He actually coached me some years ago.

I’m on a top secret mission right now. Only talking about it to very few. I’ll post when it’s over.

You look great! How old are you?

 

[Poppy]

It’ll be sooner than later

Don’t slow down. Take the road less traveled and carry this on through… make others envious

My peers are either limping around like the walking dead… are dead… in wheelchairs… just can’t do anything…. Fat drunk slobs….

I refuse to throw in the towel

My guys and I were just talking about that last night. Weird how shit like that works- just because you’re getting old doesn’t mean you should give up .. I’m trying to be jacked grandpa..

Oh...bless you
I needed a pick me up. I've been getting my ass kicked all around towwn I need to check in with everyone! I'm not taking getting older at all well. I always had that one hour of peace and it's getting harder and harder

 

[Poppy]

Is the prep in physique the same as open bbing?

After your bulk to 200… where do you want to end up at for stage?

I never felt this way into the last year wheny CALVES got weird. I think I might have similar to poppy. I was always a 20/20 guy. Arms CALVES. I just gotta find an identity at 54? I don't pray to things like gold money, houses and cars but maybe I should of. Maybe I'll do something. I'm blessed actually. I have at wonderful way smarter the me, daughter, I have this forum. I have my lady but she is getting sick of me" you look good, just don't lose the traps. I'm a great RN but I think it's because I listened and never judge. Now I feel the the script flipped. I can do (used) 315 x 20 and standing legs curls, but this is unlike physical pain.. THANKS

Oh yes, I know @PHD. He actually coached me some years ago.

I've followed PhD since before I knew I was. He's one of the few that can bring up weak spots
Real bber there .

I’d say somewhat the same, I’m at about 3300-3500 calories atm- “main gain” - Staying under 20% bf, it’ll make the cut easier.
I’m hoping to hit the high 180’s on stage.
Bring in my shoulders and back better this time around.

Yeah PHD is a good dude. I entered a local bf% contest (took 2nd, won a trip to Vegas) and needed help with my diet structure- he nailed it.

Just starting down the road. Hired a coach this week. Will probably be a year before I’m on stage. But you look great my man. Congrats on the win!

Hope it all works out bro, we’re rooting for you. I’m merely 31 and sometimes feel as if I’m not taking it well.
