Thank You! I didn't ask at the show, but two of my teammates asked one judge. He told 1 truth and one lie..he told the figure girl she needed to lose weight, that was the same thing our trainer said, I guess she had to hear it again.. He told the bikini chic- she needed abs- that was a lie- other bikini girls placed and didn't have any abs. But, I did write to them they replied today to send them a front and back pose, I don't know how they will remember unless they wrote notes, like I made an error and did 4 poses instead of 3 and forgot to curtsy.. Lol

Fair enough.

Hi, my plan is to do another show 11/15. 11/16, if I don't like how I look by 11/9.. I will not do it, unless I get to a low PBF, and widen my back some with some more muscle..
Since you're clean, adding mass to your back while losing more body fat in four weeks is a challenge. Tighten the waist up from behind and your lats will appear to come out more.

Hey Fitnik. Here is a way to make it the back appear wider. Do you ever hang
and let your scapula pop out? It's not going to add muscle but if you get use to
being able to pop your lats very easily it will help. 3-4 "hangs" daily spread throughout the day.
1 minute or so 3 reps will be noticable in that short time frame of a few weeks.
Also at the end of your back work do platz straight arm pull downs. Not a joke.
It's a short finishing move that really puts some blood and flexability together.
use a lat pull down machine with straight bar. Strap in . Fairly light wt.
Keep arms straight you can lean back slightly. Now try to bring the bar to your upper chest while keeping arms straight.Of course that is impossible.
Its a short movement and is favorite finisher. It is like a reverse shrug where you start with lats fully stretch then contract your lats so bar comes toward you. Throw in a few pauses at top and bottom . Then rep out with a smooth pumping style. 1-2 sets thats it. That one is one I NEVER see other people do or rarely. It works. Thats a platz move from way back when. Might take sec to master it but it is well worth it.
Good luck. Keep us posted. T

Thanks for the feedback , Do you have tips to help tighten up the waist from behind? Does back extensions work?

Back extensions will thicken the lower back some, but for the short term, consider lightening up the db rows for back or changing how frequently you do them. Rows can thicken up your obliques as well making your waist larger. I'd try those hangs and straight arm movements turbo discussed as well as barbell pullovers on a decline bench with an EZ curl bar - that is if your gym doesn't have a hammer strength pullover machine to help bring your 'wings' out a bit.
