What music are you using to bring down the house? ???
wanna help me pick a song out??
(i want something heavy/hard..............rock)
Charlie "ARMS" (no legs)
Wow... that's an odd criticism coming from you. ::)
This Ken Jones guy blows.
Laura is laughing at his routine right now
Was she a big fan of all his twirls?
it's not a fucking male beauty pageant
give the old guys a break - nothing wrong with playing music that they like or that suits their physiques - i don't see any Markus Ruhls up there so I wouldn't expect any heavy metal
It's not? No, if it had talent rounds it might be a pageant. It's more of a rigged nude male model show to sell supplements.
blow me ok.................my quads are bad but they are there (that fool had nothing)

Looking good bro.
Hey Mike, what is your current bodyweight?
Point is..............i may suck
but...I'm being the best bodybuilder that Michael Arvilla can possibly be
I'm improving...........I'm setting goals and trying to attain them
most importantly............. ..I'm doing what i love most
BODYBUILDING
You only weigh 20 lbs more than I do.
Yet, you're taller, your bodyfat % is higher, and you're on gear! :o
MY BODYFAT IS HIGHER THAN YOURS????
(your delusional )
are you not listening to anything i have said?!?!?!?
im being the best that I can be.............(sorry we all cant look as good as you GOAT)
you look good, Mike - keep it up!
I'd guess closer to 10, but it's tough to tell, since your abs kinda suck.
Who here thinks it's irresponsible of Arvilla to be fuccking up his health with gear at his age, just to look like total dogshit?
Don't get me wrong, for a 40-something natural novice entering his first show, he looks okay.
But for someone who's been juicing since the first George Bush was in office, he looks terrible.
Is this Palumboism, maybe?
Mike, are you doing the novice or open category?
Novice.
It's your first show, so only seems logical.
well.................... .......what would ur advice be??
(seeing as it is my first show and all)
id like to do the open class,................but if im not ready ill understand
Honestly Mike, I would do the novice or masters class if I was you. I don't see the shame in it, as this is your first show so you are in fact a novice. However, that being said I have no idea of the quality of the competitors in the show which obviously matters.
I train people for shows and compete, and one huge thing I have learned is stage presentation makes a huge difference. Perfect fitting trunks, perfect color and oil, perfect posing including good facial expressions [no constipated looks!], nicely put together routine w/great music blended and great endurance for the posing. At this stage, apart from getting as ripped as you can, you cannot really improve your physique.
But you can have almost perfect presentation. You strike as the type who will not be nervous and 'play to the crowd'. Use that to your advantage. In the end, it is all an illusion :)
Mike, whens the last time you had blood work done?

What makes you think he is juicing? I don't think he is.
there's no reason to bash Mike Arvilla. He's not obnoxious about himself like some other rug headed punks out there.
Just let him do his thing

dont listen to the haters mike. your doing awesome...hopefulle pretty soon ill be starting my own "road to compete" thread as well.
Do the Novice!
I remembner my first show, holy shit- There will be some TOUGH competition in the Novice, dont get me wrong, but the Open class is Usually REALLY GOOD...
You look good in those pics, keep it up and try to focus on diet and really sharpening your midsection. I was training abs every day, and practiced posing every day. I think flexing/training my abs every day really helped them come in sharp for the big day.
And start training those wheels dammit! ;)
Good luck, there is no better feeling than your first show- give it 110%, and when you think about cheatin on your diet- ask yourself, "Are my competitors cheating on THEIR diets?" Made me not crave anything.
Practice your mandatory poses, with someone that knows posing and is watching you.
Mike,
You are an inspiration because of your great attitude. You are putting your ego on the line- you aren't afraid of putting up your photos and having the on line world critique them. That takes a lot of guts. And you don't hide behind a fake name, LOL.
I appreciate how you have documented your transformation over the weeks. Its great to see somebody show it can be done.
Great work so far!
Would you like to make a wager? ;)
