edited December 24 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Today would have been the start of my one week dry out prior to prep, unfortunately due to the epidemic, shows won't resume until May 10th...stayed the course though. Final physique and stats:

Unflexed and flexed:

Bodyfat: 7-8% (fluctuates often, who knows)
Chest: 45"
Arms: 16.2" (up .4 inches from last year!)
Waist: 27"

    Looking amazing! Several people at my gym are in the same place with cancelled contests.

    Thank you! It's rough, i know several contestants who feel like they've wasted 16-20 weeks of their lives for contest prep.....i have no regrets, it was certainly worth it. I now have the luxury of building toward maintenance calories until May😉

    Good gracious...which one(s) were the "unflexed" pics?! No back pic but it looks like you were ready to fly with those wings.

    I feel your pain. I had a lifting competition on MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, and they've already cancelled/postponed. What?! That's over 10 weeks out! No inkling of a refund for my entry fee either.

    Daaaang!! You done good! I’m sorry about your contest being cancelled, because you were definitely ready. That looks like a lot of hard work and sacrifice.

    I see what you did there😉 need to learn how to take legs shots without "stuff" showing.

    What??!! Ridiculous, any process you could look into to get it escalated? I'm sure you worked your *kitten* off for it!

    Thanks man, was really excited about this one....2019 was a good year leading into this year's competition. I appreciate the kind words, i've come too far to slack off!💪

    Nice work.

    Yeah shows/meets postponed kinda suck but really no biggie considered everything else about life.

    At age 50 I was ready to blow some records up in powerlifting in a few days. I doubt it will be rescheduled as more and more info comes out.

    For sure, shows being cancelled are the least of our concerns right now considering how the world is changing now. Anything planned for in 2021? I'm a fan of a lot of advice you give here, would love to know!

    Not that far ahead. Depends on my health with this thing going around. My goal is always to train and extend life.

    I think being ranked top ten in the world is achievable and maybe competing at world's in 2021 if things returm to normal and thingscreturm to normal & I can compete at Raw Nationals this year.
