First a little back story.

I have been involved in weight training and nutrition since I was about 18. I am a former fat boy (FFB), graduated high school with a 40" waist. In college I got educated and interested in bodybuilding and got my ACE and ACSM certification as well as taking nutrition and kinesiology courses in college.

After a couple years I got great results. Got into physique modeling for several years and got to travel all over the USA, getting paid along the way. Unfortunately I maxed out at only about 160lbs at 5'9".

3 years ago I was involved in a bad motorcycle accident. Ended up with a very badly fractured left leg, completely blown out left knee, broken right leg and foot and some crushed vertebrae as well. After 6 months of pain and rehab I got back to the game and work.

Curerntly I am dieting for the Ottawa National Capital Classic. I plan on coming in the light heavy weight class. This is my first show, the only experience I have with contest prep is helping my uncle backstage for the Canadian Natural Nationals almost 10 years ago.

Critique is welcome but keep it civilized :) And no comments about my bad posture, my back problems cause this. Also any contest prep advice or info would be appreciated.

This pic is from 11 weeks out.

Looking good. Do you have a side chest shot? From the angle you took this pic, it's hard to see the upper development of your chest. Looks like it's lagging. It's why I am asking if you have a side chest. Might just be the angle though. The abs and legs look developed well.
