Well, here they are

I finally have pictures from my competition. Some were taken by the trainer who helped me prepare, and I found several others online. (No point in making this friends only since they're already out there for the public to see.)

Posted as a link to the gallery because it's just easier. Plus, I hate looking at pictures of myself. Especially here since I see all the flaws and little things that bug me, like how my glasses make my eyes look closed in nearly every photo.

Maybe a touch more tanned than I thought, but kewl beans! That back shot is particularly ripply, oh my! Very oddly I noticed you seem to have extremely deep armpits, which I guess just means a lot of pec and lat. Nice tone (veins!) in the side arm shots, and as expected, lovely quad development. Your outer calves are quite bulgy!

You're totally right though, it does look like your eyes were always closed o.0

Congrats again, dude!

The tan was one of the hardest parts since I needed to be dark for definition to show under the bright stage lights. Adding to the challenge were a desire to avoid the Oompa Lompa look at work and having the artificial tan come off my shoulders if I looked at it funny.

I think I just got lucky with how my arms tend to go forward when I flare my lats. My chest is lacking, and will be the thing I'm going to work hardest to improve for next time.

Until I had to shave my legs for this, I never really appreciated how bulgey my calves were.

I can understand the link, I feel that way about when I have photos of me but still, you look sweet! From what I can see, the tan was a "tad" much, but it didn't take away anything from ya. From what I can see your bulging traps are your largest, most defined area. (Yes, loving the ripples.) With a "slight" hint from your Lats. After that, I truly see your work on your delts to your biceps, plus the definition from bicep to tricep. Great ripples there. Plus, when checking your your arm pits, (yes, V, I agree it's deep), that's just showing you more of how well your Traps are doing with conjunction with your arms. All together, WOOHOO! <3

As for your eyes, I actually have the same problem with mine. Blame the glasses, seriously. Only way to "fix" the thing with eyes vs. Glasses is to intentionally have your eyes "open wider" then ya normally do.

Also, side's a haircut, (J/K), I would almost recomend a Chonmage, It's simple, yet something different. It's only an idea so that's up to you.

IMHO, I say from the pics that you look great and excellent ya. WAY TA GO, BUD!!! <=D

I already know what to do with my hair next time, thanks to the lightweight winner. Now I just have to figure out how he did it.
