Very close but I would say you could still lose some in the lower back....couldnt see glutes in the video. I would say 5-7 lbs would tighten you right up.

Stop looking at the scale. Weight matters none but how you look is everything.

I wouldn't worry about the scale. As long as you weigh in under 225, you're fine. I wouldn't go super heavy for the sake of being super heavy, however it can work to your advantage. For example, super heavies tend to be softer then the heavies when you get out of the top 3. For that reason, many times the 5th place heavy weight could have placed higher if they drank a bit more water before jumping on the scale *by getting into the next class*...

I think you look quite lean in the video - like P said, we can't see glutes, but judging by the legs, you're probably decently sharp there as well. You're quite vascular, so don't let the veins trick you into thinking you're ready... I'd say you still could drop a little body fat. I think the lower back isn't really a problem - however I see you could lose either a little bodyfat and/or water to show more seperation between rear delt and tricep in bicep area. Make sure to work on posing as much as possible. I've seen many of the vids, and seems whenever you flex abs, you try to show deep cuts within the abs. This is at the expense of showing off the obliques. I think having those crazy ass obliques when you flex abs in ab/thigh (or any pose), is the key to looking shredded.

At 5'9 you are a natural heavy weight...you are kind of in between the heavy-super heavy class and could go either way but as a SHW you will be at the bottom of the class....never a good place to be in unless you are 5'7. By tightening up even more you will look much better at HW...definitely more separation in delt bicep tie in and like Steve said don't let the vascularity fool you...muscle separation is much more important. Dont worry about the number...you carry significant muscle and will make a much bigger impression if you come in sliced and dry and hard as nails. The leaner you are also gives you the ability to load more carbs and still be dry. Also the SHW class is completely stacked...Jerome, Antoine, Partlow, Loutfi, Marlon etc. I think it would be very difficult to crack the top 5 in SHW this year.
That being said my goal with all my athletes is not to worry about the scale and to control what you can control which is conditioning...come in conditioned, full, and dry and you will do well.

im 227 , was aiming 224 ,, mmm it sound like 220 ,, not too thin for 5'9 u think ?You're better off coming in a shredded as humanly possible, so 220 at 5'9 should be just fine....judging by your lower back and hammies you will be dialed in at 220.....conditioning conditioning conditioning is what wins shows.....Now having said that you need to practice more on your posing from what I saw in that vid you close your back up to much on your rear double bicep...Do another vid with posing trunks on and go through all your manadatories as you would on stage and then if you really want our input we'll have more to work with in the vid.

I dont get where your coming from here at all because if you think your ready to step onstage with the supers your in for a reality check, and I bet even Heavies.

Your genetics don't hold super heavy capabilities bro. You've called your own genetics shitty before. I don't think you have shitty genetics at all but they just don't lend themselves to adding much more mass. Let's face it - you do alot of drugs (by your won admission as well) and are firmly dedicated to this venture. I would say that if by now you are unable to compete at at least 230+lbs at 4-6 bf% then it's not going to happen anytime soon. I do think, however, that you could do very well at heavy and light heavy, with some amazing conditioning. Nothing to be ashamed of. Your back is quite wide , legs are good and you have good conditioning as well as vascularity. But you don't have the full, round muscle bellies that super heavies all have. IMO you should aim for light heavies or heavies and to hell with what the scale says.

Listen to Skailes NOT the scale. Make sense ? Good luck in whatever you choose. You are a ****ing weirdo bro but very entertaining and very honest, as well as generous. Just trying to be honest as well. Cheers dude.

As others has said, work at your posing - get another video with mandotories and I'll critique each pose if you'd like. One thing to make note of in EVERY pose is to not neglect one muscle fiber in your entire body. Example, back poses, I know you've got them, but you neglect to show them (hammies)... I bet if you focused your thoughts 90% on your legs, and just 10% on your back, you'd actually hit a better pose. What it looks like to me is you really trying to make sure your lats pop out, and back looks as good as it can... But again, at the expense of your entire lower half. Getting lats to pop out is simple, just putting your hands on your waist and pulling out takes care of most of the importance. But making sure your hams (both of them!) are tight and calfs pop out, that is the difficult part of that pose.

So anyway, basically for pretty much EVERY pose, I would say the difficult part about hitting it is in fact all the muscles in your body other than the main one of that pose (ie the name of the pose) . And that is the key to looking good in all poses - ie polishing the entire body. ex:

legs, obliques, chest in the side tricep pose... Side tricep pose is pretty much judged NOTHING on what your triceps look like.
abs, lats, legs, delts, in a front bicep shot... Again, the judges are barely even looking at the guns in that pose...

and I could go on...

Blp, you need to stop listening to people who are blowing smoke up your ass and listen to those who aren't.

You weren't lean enough last year, even in your second show in Quebec and you aren't lean enough this year. That's a fact. You can either listen to those who keep telling you that you look good or you can listen to those who are honest. You look good for a provincial qualifier show not stop fing around and get it done. Stop worrying about the frigging scale. They don't hand out hardware based on how weighs the most, if they did, I would win hands down lmao

Heavyweight is 198 to 225lbs...that's a very large window of weight to work with. If you want to present the best physique you can...then push your conditioning to the limit. The leaner you are the better you will look when carb loaded and dried out. If you get down to say 217-218 then load back up and weigh in at 224-225...then dry out...you will look sick and you are pushing the top of the class.

Get yourself under 225 lbs - very important to be upper end of heavies NOT lower end of supers.
Give yourself room - your scale may be off so get under 225 lbs with a good room for scale error.
Start recording morning and night weights - use the weights to determine when you weigh-in...

If you are well under cut-off:
Go to early weigh-in (if they have one). Be the first on the scale. EAT SMALL AMOUNTS OF FOOD BEFORE STEPPING ON SCALE. Then start really eating and filling out. With any luck you will be a super in the heavy weight class the day of the show. Don't eat so much as to put you over.

If you are close to the cuff-off and unsure of where you may be:
Go to LATE weigh-in or step on scale as late as possible - DON'T EAT ANY FOOD BEFORE STEPPING ON SCALE. Eat throughout the night to fill out. If you have to weigh-in naked.

If your night weight is lower than 225 then you should be fine. But if it is heavier then you will have to not eat and then weigh.

This is assuming that cut-off is 225....
