Well done mate

Skillmister · 4 Jul 2011 at 14:56

Awesome write up. Good to hear you're going to do more

knip · 4 Jul 2011 at 19:38

I havent posted in this thread up til now, and wouldn't have had I not kept seeing the blue screen pop up on the ipad in front of me

but wanted to come and say well done anyway.

Having been there watching yesterday (was supporting Desmo's wife) Steedie you should be very proud of yourself.

Desmo · 4 Jul 2011 at 19:40

Great write up Steedie

Glad I could help out a little on the day, but just remeber that you did all the hard work, both in the build up and in getting your backside on stage....TWICE

J.T · 4 Jul 2011 at 21:56

Desmo/Steedie,

I took more photos than I thought so it's taking me ages to go through and crop/adjust them.

Will try and get them up for you tomorrow night.

Can you both email me again and I will send you links once done.

Buffman · 4 Jul 2011 at 22:20

Well done man, despite not getting to the weight class you wanted.

Good luck on future endeavours should you continue to pursue doing this, although I'd do it because you want to, not to make up for "failure" of this time and bear in mind the struggles with work/life it's caused you!

P.s. I want to see homo pics.... Wait wut.

Freefaller · 4 Jul 2011 at 22:22

Looking forward to the pics

And look forward to seeing you in St Albans no matter what your decision.

Steedie · 4 Jul 2011 at 22:49

You look completely different with the tan

Lats and arms especially look great. Got a back pic?

Steedie · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:02

Not yet

only got a few until the CD arrives

milgo · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:14

wow that front shot looks great. Looking super lean!

icecold · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:33

You good Steedie! Loving the outfit change as well; is that for fashion or health and safety necessity?

Djdom56 · 4 Jul 2011 at 23:44

Looking good steedie, the transformation is unbelievable!

Also loving that the pout is back

Steedie · 5 Jul 2011 at 08:41

More because the first one is drenched in sweat after pre judging

Thanks guys, shame it appears I forgot to tense my legs in the FDB, but I'm pleased with that shot and it's the one I've chosen for the print

J.T · 5 Jul 2011 at 08:51

Steedie, if I was to offer you any advice (and please feel free to ignore me as I am a noob LOL) it would be to try and tense all the time.

I know this is most likely very hard to do as you will be cramping up due to lack of water but one thing I noticed about all the winners was they never relaxed and always kept their stomach tensed.

Steedie · 5 Jul 2011 at 08:54

Yeah looking at the few photos I have it's that I'm only ever tensing the muscle groups that are the focus of the pose.

It's so easy when you're at home practising, but as soon as you go on stage and you have a million other things going through your head, it's so easy to forget, and I guess that's one thing I'll take with me in to the next show. Legs are the hardest as it's just tensing them all the time, so when you're not, it's easy to forget to do it again

Steedie · 5 Jul 2011 at 08:56

Also, I can't stop watching this. Find it so inspiring. It's just perfection, the way he goes from pose to pose and makes it look so smooth is just unbelievable.

I want to be back on stage

J.T · 5 Jul 2011 at 09:50

Good man, looks like you are well and truly hooked mate.

Shawn Ray is a fantastic Poser, i think he must have been watching vids of Ed Corney though.
