I thought I was close
You are! I've always said THAT , even when you posing as Mr Pooldeck
This is getbig and these numbnuts are busting your balls.
I've been around bodybuilding contests for 45 years and it all comes down to a few basic things:
1. muscle mass ( * you have that)
2. low body fat% ( you could be more ripped, but you have decent muscularity)
Just be sure to get the darkest bronzer tan available ,hold the basic poses and don't move around.
Ignore all this peaking crap and just show up. You'll do fine and won't embarrass yourself.
Now relax, practice posing and get ready for a new, memorable experience.
FYI, wife's friend just called and they will come on Saturday now, so we won't be able to make the show. Sorry.
*BUT, this is about YOU anyway, so go for it and post pics after.
