PalmdalePoser welcome to IM!
Yes, you have very good shape and size for your age, you will do well in competition.
Please let me know what you think:
Hi guys. My name is Jeff and just recently I have started to take bodybuilding more seriously. I do feel I have some natural bodybuilding genetics and I would like to improve upon them and become more serious with this sport.
I am 5 foot 10 and weigh 181 pounds. I have 18.5 inch arms which make my chest seem very small. I'm am pretty symetrical except that since I have large delts it makes my chest look tiny.
I'm 23 years old and I have been working out for 4 years. Now I am concerned with getting much bigger and hopefully someday possibly do a competition to see where I stand.
I am new to this group and I am hoping to read valuable information here that will make me progress more as a bodybuilder.

Nikegurl,
I work out at 24 hour fitness here in Palmdale. I mainly work out in East Palmdale but I have used the West Palmdale gym once for legs.
To help support your Nick, I just bought a new pair of Nike's today in the Palmdale Mall. (Max Air)
Thanks for the compliments.
I hope to run into you if you are in this area. Nice Pic.

The pic I just posted is me at 181 pounds. I'm trying to hit 185 and just today I bought some more protein because I ran out a few days ago. I was drinking a protein shake only once a day but to maybe put my at 185 I am going to start drinking it 2 times per day with creatine.

focus on over calorie intake vs just adding creatine. It all depends on your goals. Post nutrirton is a big part of gaining lean size and there are alot of good threads on here about applying then to best suit your needs normally I tell people to gain lean mass
1:1
protein to carbs - depending on muscle group worked - legs, back need slightly more
arms may need slighly less
gaining mass
1:1.5
protein to carbs - depending on muscle group worked
wait an hour and a half and repeat the same meal in a solid form
again it depends on specific goals
Thanks hardasnails1973,
I will try to focus on my calorie intake more. Thanks for the ratio's. It's a big help for sure. Good luck in your competions. You have great ripped up abs.

when did THAT picture find it's way here?![]()

There is something very wrong at this thread.

There was a reason but I deleted my above post with the explanation because he did the right thing by removing it.Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio
