You look fantastic.
However, Natties cant getthe hard dryand grainy look juicers can
Ursus - thank you as well for the props. you are abolutely right I don't have that grainy look - I never have been able to achieve it, no matter what I do.
This picture below is of me at probably the best conditioning of my life and the LIGHTEST I have ever competed, I weighed 157 in that picture, (my norm competition weight is 175 - 180) and I am still not grainy like you are saying.
But that doesn't mean it can't be done, I have seen some legit naturals with a SICK grainy look that put some juicing IFBB pros to shame when it comes to conditioning. Maybe in the future I will be able to achieve it.
I have totally hijacked this thread with my pictures!
