He just looks shorter because he has the camera higher than himself..

Leafy you look great, though since bodybuilding is about illusion - set the camera a bit further down, stand closer and under a little light so you get shadows to make you look bigger/more ripped.

yes, that camera angles make him look short....i find it hard to believe he is 5' 11'' but will have to accept what he is saying...no way of disproving it....however, camera angle or not, he has the overall look of a short guy....

Thanks friend. My friend shot the pictures so he didn't care. People always complain about my lighted shots and say they can't see anything so i thought id change things up.

ok, i accept what you have to say about your height....the fact is, most bodybuilders lie about their true height...they add an inch or two...if you are 5' 11'' then you have some good muscle maturity..what is your cycle like?

I usually lie and tell people 5'10 because everyone lies about their height and they will blow me out of proportion and tell me in 6'1

QFT

Also,in the front and back relaxed shots,don`t flare your arms so much.........put them down a bit and palms should be facing forwards.

Even pros look like retards with the exagerrated "relaxed" lat spreads they do.

On the front and back double biceps shots,turn BOTH hands in towards your ears................give s the poses better lines.

Minor details,not hard to master in a week,but will improve your look onstage.


Stay focused,you`re gonna` be hard to beat,and good luck.  ;)

you gotta hand it to this shitdick........


he makes constant improvements with each show

every show that he posts pics for, he has a few mor lbs of mass, better conditioning , better balance


you got to give it up for someone who is working diligently enough to make consistent improvements............ .especially in a sport like bodybuilding............ .bodybuilding is one of those sports that people tend to make a lot of gains at in the beginning, and then stagnate

most people on here probably have not made any discernible progress physique-wise in years

First rate as always.


Leafy has mastered the art of conditioning via diet and no cardio, something so few have the wherewithal to do.  This aspect is VERY important as it not only preserves muscle, it makes the whole overall process of calorie reduction more palatable and obviously much easier.  Its just one less thing to focus and waste time on.


As you can see, Leafy is by no means done in terms of adding muscle.  Should he stick with it further he will keep progressing, ultimately to the Heavies where his small waisted and small jointed structure will dominate as it is somewhat a rarity in the upper leagues.  There are too many doofus boned people as it is and this is a welcomed change.

Looking good - conditioning looks to be there and the physique as a whole is well proportioned - maybe calves could do with some more size and possibly bigger arms needed too but overall a very good physique. Good luck!  8)

I eat eggwhites, rice, chicken, sweet potatoes and alot of beef. I get about 2 lbs of beef a day, a lb of chicken, and 2 cups of egg whites. Macro wise im at 300 grams of protein, 300 of carbs, and 30 grams of fat. I dieted on about 2700-3k calories this year. Now im like maybe 2600 or so. I am going no lower then that. I think the main reason why i have had to do no cardio is because i didnt gain alot of weight in the offseason. Everything has been steady the whole diet.

interesting, did you start at that amount of protein and reduce it as you reduced overall calories or did you start lower and increase it?

also how many meals a day leafy ? do you practice nutrient timing ? do you agree with adonis's belief that 1g of incomplete proteins are the same as 1 g complete protein and added them all into your total macro's ?

No everything has been the same. Nutrient timing is important post work out. A protein is not a protein. You need a full amino acid profile for optimal growth.

Last year was hit cardio twice a week on 2000 calories. The year before that was cardio everyday. This year i did not one session of cardio. I prefer doing a diet cardioless..... its much easier and i can focus on heavy lifting. I am a week out and still doing 300lb bench presses, repping 275 on should press, etc. I think heavy weight helps preserve muscle mass... i feel safe doing it too but sometimes if my tendons feel tight or i feel dry i have to lighten it considerably.

Call me a skeptic, but I don't think that would work for a lot of people. It sounds "too good to be true." I think you have to be predisposed to be lean.

Thanks friend. My friend shot the pictures so he didn't care. People always complain about my lighted shots and say they can't see anything so i thought id change things up.
My critique.
great legs, good sweep and separation. Upper body is hard and abs are dialied in. Your could be thicker in the upper body but since you are in condition, you should do fine in the novice class. NOW, be sure to put on a few coats of pro tan over the last 2 days.
Don't move back and forth or shake when doing mandatory poses in comparisons and don't relax EVER when on stabe  with your class. From the second you get on stage, face the judges and stay big and flexed. Good luck.

I judged lots of Jr and novice classes and since he is pretty cut, he will match up fine and look decent on stage in comparisons.
The biggest weakness is  being smooth with lousy legs , Leafy has great wheels for his size and is in condition.
he is going for a regional novice wt class win, NOT the USA , c'mon ::)

Howard you have been to enough competitions and seen a 5'8" guy at the same weight and similar conditioning destroy guys 5'11" and over because they look fuller and more muscular...I am not saying he won't do well, just saying guys in his weight class have potential to out mass him....

In my early 20's :D... and you are right. It happened in middle weights. It will more then likely continue to happen in light heavyweights. Apparently Chad Ray Martin is doing the show as well.

You will be just fine in the novice class. REMEMBER that guys that are not as ripped with smooth legs often look a lot more impressive back stage then they do on the stage under the lights. Good luck.

you look amazing, please please please don't do anything crazy with insulin/gh etc trying to grow. keep doing what you have been, increase calories a little, lift a little heavier and you'll keep growing.

you have tremendous shape, and structure - do not blow it.

I know and ya know what...I think I am going to spend more time on this kind of positive stuff and avoid the negative crap.
Leafy is showing that anyone with typical  genetics can diet hard, dial in and look damn good for a regional level contest.

I strongly disagree, as I think he has excellent genetics for bodybuilding: small joints, small waist, wide shoulder and he responds well to the training and diet (and anabolics?). Suggesting that any hardworking young guy can reach this level is absurd, most may get to be just as big and perhaps as lean, but not with the same lines and proportions as Leafy.

I'm very impressed by your continuing progress Leafy! You've brought your legs up from a weak point to your strong point.

yes, that camera angles make him look short....i find it hard to believe he is 5' 11'' but will have to accept what he is saying...no way of disproving it....however, camera angle or not, he has the overall look of a short guy....


Yeah he doesn't look like a fat fuck.  Good job Leafy,  good luck with your show.

maybe , like the rest of us, he realized his knowledge pales in comparison to tbombz, so he just gave up?

why would you be an easy on the eyes 20 year old know it all, when you can apply the knowledge tbombz has and look like a 45 year old smashed bag of raped assholes at age 20 like our very own Taylor?

interesting, did you start at that amount of protein and reduce it as you reduced overall calories or did you start lower and increase it?

also how many meals a day leafy ? do you practice nutrient timing ? do you agree with adonis's belief that 1g of incomplete proteins are the same as 1 g complete protein and added them all into your total macro's ?
There is no such thing as an "incomplete protein".  Just differing amounts and levels of amino acids in a protein structure.  By default (eating like a normal person) you will meet and exceed your protein requirement/profile.

Just need to tighten up the water a bit.... im very pleased but i dont think its enough to put a dent in anything. These judges like size and i am nothing but an illusionist in this class. Im hoping to be a heavy weight or upper light heavy next year.

I can tell as an actual NPC judge ( since I am not judging your show), that your conditioning will impress the judges.
You are a young guy just getting started in a Novice division. No judge expects to see a monster walk out there in that kind of division.
Noel Fuller is a great trainer and seems like a good guy ( based on various forum posts).
Listen to his advice to the letter , he got this far. Good luck
