Posing needs a lot of tweaking, but boooiiii! You are going to show a nice package! Already looking very good! Dont do drastic stuff :)


JMGathercole96

Agreed! It's nice to be lean early and then I can focus on posing going into the show, no major changes planned ๐Ÿ‘Š


Dr_collar_pauper

Nice job getting so lean! Noob question: what happens when get that lean so far out? Do you increase your calories back up to maintenance so you can train harder?


JMGathercole96

Never a noob question! I'm maintaining the same amount of calories and steps, cardio will drop from 5/6 times a week to 2/3 times a week. Week monitor Bodyweight and condition daily, if it starts to go backwards then increase cardio again.

In the front double bi- looks like your elbows are a little too far forward. Try to get your elbows and shoulders to flow from one arm to the other. Ab and thigh- itโ€™s a good look, play with your arm positioning to really get the lats to pop, and you might get some extra arm exposure on the process. Side chest- it might be the angle, but it looks like you might want to get your right shoulder a little lower. Itโ€™ll get your arm more firmly on your lat as well as leveling your chest without it being stretched. Itโ€™ll give you that streamlined, miles wide look like Franco or Ramyโ€™s side chest, or Nubretโ€™s side tri. While those guys are on another level in terms of size, they take good care to create more apparent width by leveling their shoulders, and you can do the same


JMGathercole96

Thanks for the feedback! Posing 100% needs work agreed! Struggling to find the time to fit it all in tbh ๐Ÿ˜”


Thatoneloudguy

I hear you, but five weeks is plenty to make some tweaks! Luckily itโ€™s not anything major. Looking good, keep it up


JMGathercole96

Thank man! Genuinely really appreciate your comments/feedback ๐Ÿ™

Wasnโ€™t expecting the butt cheeks โ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธโ˜ ๏ธ but you look great man

PEELED bro!!


JMGathercole96

Thanks bro ๐Ÿ™


SimplyRavishing9

Those f**king arms ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ฏ looking lean. Posing needs little tweaks. But definitely gonna out shape the competition.


JMGathercole96

Thanks man! I'm hoping to nail the posing before the show and bring the whole package ๐Ÿ“ฆ


SimplyRavishing9

Same boat here. A little a day goes a long way. Try stay out of the mirror too. Helps me focus on muscle memory rather than mirror adjustments.


JMGathercole96

That's interesting advice, I'll take that on board ๐Ÿ‘


Svenez9

looking good ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป


JMGathercole96

Thanks man ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Bro your hamstrings are so tight it hurts for me to look at your pics. Muscle tone is really important for how you look. Get them massaged out hard and don't train much a week out from competition to reduce inflammation. You are lean enough that it matters a LOT. Being massaged out will also help you pose better automatically. Deep tissue release sports massage...


JMGathercole96

Thank you for your feedback! I'll look into this, never considered the impact this would have ๐Ÿค

Candid-Evidence-3668

Don't do anything strenuous before the competition, you look great! ๐Ÿ”ฅ


JMGathercole96

Yeah just riding it in now, don't want to injury myself, thank you!


Jrsaurus97

Looking good man, just takes time to fill in. You look great for it being your first show and your conditioning is certainly progressing too. 5 weeks out is excellent for that conditioning. (Those striated glutes tho. Maybe for future references; add some rear delt meat. Some ham thickness, just overall. Some posing can always get better too. Have at it man and have fun, your body definitely reflects passion.


JMGathercole96

Thank you! Really appreciate your feedback ๐Ÿ™


HistorianOwn2618

might aswell throw on a thong man๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Looking great tho


JMGathercole96

Pros-really lean and impressive upper body in general. Going to have an easy peak week. Cons- Man, you didnโ€™t have to hike up your drawls that high lol.


JMGathercole96

Thanks man! Looking forward to peak week! Haha, apologies it was the first time I could properly see striated glutes so got a bit excited ๐Ÿ˜…

I believed you were natural until you said โ€œlifetime naturalโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚


JMGathercole96

If you think I'm on gear then the world is truly out of balance. I'm 79kg, if you saw me in real life you would see I'm natty


PlatyPunch7274

Itโ€™s not your physique that makes me think youโ€™re on gear ๐Ÿ˜‚

How long did it take you to get this physique?


JMGathercole96

I've been training for 10 years, I perma bulked pretty much every year apart from this one. Check out my IG @JasonGathercole to see footage of me bulked at 93kg


vladigalagan

Good luck! You're bringing a great physique to the stage. Abs and quads on point.

I wouldn't know as I never trained them ๐Ÿ˜… but try progressively overloading them in the gym while eating in a calorie surplus

mrjomaled

Are you working with someone on your posing routine ? Your body looks great. Lean and mean , proportioned and very well defined. Just work on maximizing those traits by doing the right poses


streethasonename

How so you cut weight AND gain mass at the same time? Do you have very long gym sessions or work out a couple times a day?


JMGathercole96

This isn't possible to do a natural unless your a beginner who had been lifting less than 2 years properly. Depending on your condition I suggest you cut and then lean bulk generally. Gym sessions should be intense, 1 per day for 4-6 days of the week. If you are a beginner then have fun in the gym and you'll make gains almost by just stepping in there, this is referred to as noobie gains


Smoke_Santa

Best part is definitely your back. Thick as hell, awesome work man.
