Sorry to keep you in suspense. After the contest, I had my crew over for grilled steak, during the eating of which I fell asleep. Just now woke up under a tent that someone was nice enough to pitch over me in the yard. Originally Posted by Sorrow

): during registration I could see that at least a couple guys had better leg definition than me (which is rare in the upper masters divisions). During the actual contest I could tell that I was killing them with side chest, side triceps and abs; but, while I improved a lot since last time on front and rear double biceps (thanks to the ART and pilates that unfroze my left shoulder and my thoracic generally), for some reason I just couldn't get decent lat spreads (which also compromised the front and rear biceps poses). Anyway, I had a blast and I learned a lot - as well as making some more bones in the community - I saw many people I had seen at the last contest and renewed some fledgling friendships, as well as just getting known. It's back to the gym today to start working those legs, and practicing those lat spreads, as Round 3 comes up in 10 weeks. That will be the subject of a new thread, as I also have a program I want to try out and log.

Re: Round II
Nice job, Sperwer! 16 is a big class. 4th is nothing to think lightly of! Especially for your second contest. Looking forward to round 3!

Round II
Maybe I overdid the DreamTan. 😏
Koreans have a white fetish, as in many other places where darker complexions are associated with lower standing in the status food chain. It's one reason many expat losers get by here better than they could at home. Koreans, including men, will use parasols, hats, face masks, arm protectors and gloves in the sun. They are remarkably fair, although no blondes or the ruddiness you see in the West. All the farmers, most real country people and everyone else who works outdoors are nut brown, often with a streak of russet - think American Indians, to whom Koreans probably are distantly related.

Sperwer, you actually beat most of those guys in that picture. 4th place is very very good bro! Congratz!! And you look really good man! Liking the definition.
I know the feeling of eating a heavy meal after a contest. After my first contest (7 years ago) we had dozens of dozens of sushi rolls, and drank so many gallons of water... I was afterward just anticipating getting home to Crash!
Now I'm really looking forward for round 3!!!
