Videos from Rob's April 28th Contest

[Ravi]

These videos are from the pre-judging portion of the content. This is where most of the decisions are made. The contestants do a series of madatory poses.

 

It was pretty grueling to watch Rob...as he had to do this THREE TIMES (he was in multiple categories). Also, you'll notice that the stage had very poor lighting....particularly on the right side (where Rob was standing)...and some weird shadows being cast since the spotlights were almost directly overheard.

 

That said...it's pretty cool to go to a contest in person. If there is a show near you...definitely check it out.

Thanks Ravi,

 

I didn't even know you were taking videos It really helps to watch myself up there without having the mirrors to guide me. Some poses I did very poorly and I have lots to work on. Not just muscle weaknesses, but posing weaknesses, especially back double biceps (leaning too far forward and not rotating my arms back enough and just not being wide enough) and abs even more importantly.

 

The lighting was very poor. Most venues have better lighting coming from all directions so we're always in the light.

 

Videos are a great tool to view what works well and what needs improvement.

 

It was tough being up there on stage more than anyone else (I competed in 3 classes) but it was a great time too! I get up on stage again in 4 1/2 weeks!!

 

I hope many of you are able to attend and support my efforts.

 

Thanks again Ravi for filming and sharing.
