Jr. USA's

**phoenix13** · 08-30-2010, 04:25 PM

Jr. USA's were held in Stafford, Texas this past weekend. It's the first time that this contest takes place at this location, as well as this late in the year. There wasn't a very large turnout, but the show was very well run, the weather nice, and hopefully a good time was had by all.

There were 9 female bbers total. I was a light-heavy, with a total of 4 women in my class. Below are some pics from pre-judging. There was only 1 heavy, so she was out there with us (on far left). She ended up winning the Overall, and it was well deserved. I took 2nd to the woman immediately on my left. It was personal best for me. This has left me quite hungry to make improvements to what I bring next time I hit the stage.

Congrats!

**phoenix13** · 09-01-2010, 12:07 PM

Thanks guys

I've been driving myself a little crazy analyzing the comparisons from rxmuscle, muscular development and flex online. I am happy with how I looked, and wouldn't change a thing regarding how I prepped for the show...EXCEPT I would have used more makeup and fixed my hair better for prejudging.

I just need more size. So, more food, heavier weights, time.

congratulations, you looked great!

Just got a chance to look at these, very impressed!!!

Very impressive! If you could have been darker, I think it would have helped bring out your definition more IMO.

**steel1970** · 09-01-2010, 10:43 PM

WOW!...that's all I can say...you look absolutely incredible...great job!

Good stuff, Dom. Conditioning was excellent

**phoenix13** · 09-02-2010, 01:00 PM

Thank you all for the kind words.

IBT, I completely agree on the color. I was too light for prejudging, and we tried to have that remedied by the night show. The color was better for finals, but too late for judging purposes. I have made notes in that regard (inadequate makeup as well for PJ) in my notes so those mistakes are not made again.

I must polish the tile.
