Huge congratulations for the first comp!

For me

A lot of midsection work is needed as it’s a MUST for this class – core control work and abdominal training

Then it’ll be that all things need to grow, there’s no blaring weakness other than you just need a lot more mass everywhere, even into your lower to still keep the taper that’s needed in men’s physique there

So a well rounded plan to ensure your entire physique steps forward is neededn

Got you Meg!

So grateful to have all these feedbacks that gave me clear direction to work into it 🙏

[Nicholas Choo]

Well done Nicholas on your first show, I hope you enjoyed the experience. It’s good that you are focused on improving and asking the right questions to move forwards from here.

How are you from a mindset standpoint? Do you think you could continue diet for a short period longer say 6-8 weeks to get leaner? If so I would do this as then when you move into your growth phase you will be able to really capitalise on growing lean muscle tissue.

In this time you can make any adjustments to your training plan / split – to get used to what will help you going into the off season to maximise progress.

Well done again, I think you smile says how much your enjoyed the process!!

Thank you for the feedback Marc, highly appreciated a ton,

I actually feel motivated to keep on progress and improve my physique, mindset wise im in a good spot where im happy to go deeper and progress. And I don’t mind at all to take your advice to diet down another 6-8 weeks to get myself leaner than this condition, so that I’m at a good spot for setting up my off season and do some adjustment on my off season.

Thanks Marc ! Literally enjoyed every second on the stage !

[Nicholas Choo]

Just time and muscle everywhere my man. And next time round the aim is to be absolutely peeled. Then just keep repeating that process

Got you Nathan !

[Nicholas Choo]

Also in agreement – your structure is good, you just need more muscle all over and a good chunk more fat off.

Got you Hilly !

[Nicholas Choo]

Hey! Congratulations on your first show! Overall muscle everywhere needed, back width & thickness, shoulders, chest, arms, for a nice top line and taper. With more muscle better conditioning will come. Look like have a very nice foundation to grown from, keep at it 😄

Thank you Phoebe for the feedback, this is very valuable for me 🙏

[Nicholas Choo]

Congrats on your first show! More muscle all round is needed and more condition these will come with more time. Take it steady no rushing, progress your lifts take bw up and enjoy the process

Thanks Kamara for the feedback ! Time to slap in more muscle and come in more condition next time

[Nicholas Choo]

Congratulations on your first show.. it’s such an achievement.. you should be proud! I’d focus on more size overall.. then some more condtion coming into your next season, definitely take your time with your reverse & timeline!

Thank you for the feedback 🙏time to work harder !

[Nicholas Choo]

Hey man. Not sure how many shows you’ve done yet. Assume it’s early days. There isn’t anywhere specific you need to grow, you just need to grow everywhere so don’t even try and think about isolating ‘X’ muscle group. Just spread volume evenly over everything. Take your body weight up and get stronger on all lifts. Probs full body or upper/lower split wound be great for you. Good luck brother.

Hey Joe, yes this is my first novice show, currently doing push pull lower, will give a try change to upper lower split for this up coming season. Thanks for the guidance

[Nicholas Choo]

You need to be bigger and leaner my man, take your time coming up now!

Got you Kuba 🙏 will come in different next time

[Nicholas Choo]

Everything . Tbh pal you look about 10 weeks out . Focus on getting stronger and don’t be worrying about certain things . Enjoy training because you need a lot more muscle to be competitive

Thanks for the feedback mate, will focus getting stronger and put on more lean mass

[Nicholas Choo]

I’ve used a non-stim pump pre-stage, and it does give me a bit more. However, any added salt and fluid is what is maybe bringing a slightly dehydrated physique to life a bit more.

Spilling will come about from loading too hard days prior. If you’re show ready, a tiny bit of fluid and a non-stim pump isn’t going to cause you to spill.

Thanks a ton for the info
I’m planning 30 mins before stage was a touch of honey, salt and 150 ml of water with non stim pump supps

Probably that might fit well

Hi Nicholas, yes if you really want to be super accurate then track EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. However personally I’ve never tracked a vegetable in my life.

Thanks Louis
