Weak points that need work?

27, 185 lbs, 11% BF. Added nearly 30 pounds of muscle in the last two years, spent the spring cutting down to see what we’re working with. Trying to figure out what to focus on in my next building phase, with hopes of getting on stage next year.

7 weeks out

7 weeks out from show number 1! 4 weeks post Septoplasty. Things are finally in a spot to go full send and get diced🔪

Been having issues with back tightness and shoulder mobility lately which is causing issues with opening up the lats, especially when bring the hands overhead🥲 hopefully mobility drills, training adjustments and a lot of foam rolling can fix it in time🤞

Excited to see how this end up looking from here!

Classic or men’s physique?

I’d like to compete in classic mid next year or even 2028, so classic is my end goal

Would it be ideal to do a men’s physique comp to get a feel for the stage or just fully send it in growth phase for 2years?

Recently enhanced and picked up a coach, but would love feedback on which would suit me best

Currently bringing up lower body as it’s lacking
