Jr. Nationals Pics

Shelby Starnes · 08-02-2006, 09:44 AM

Here are some of my pics from my first (and so far only) national level show, the 2006 Jr. Nationals. I placed 5th in the middleweight class, and there were 10 competitors. First is a link to photos of just me, then I'll post some comparisons. All the comparisons are of places 5th thru 10th (I'm the guy second from the right).

All constructive criticism is appreciated. My plan is to do the same show next year, but as a light heavyweight.

You looked phenomenal Shelby! Your conditioning was spot on! Overall leg development and conditioning surpass (by the pics!!!) all the others on stage. Your posing has also come a long way. Practice makes perfect!

Congrats!

Thanks Tracy

You're welcome Copa!

Shelby Starnes · 08-08-2006, 01:45 PM

Thanks Ling

I just got the Repetrope DVD of the night show last night. Watching it was great, like reliving that experience!

bhman6 · 08-08-2006, 02:00 PM

anyway to transfer the video to a post?

Shelby Starnes · 08-08-2006, 02:46 PM

Not that I know of...

Shelby Starnes · 08-11-2006, 03:10 PM

There's a pic of me and the rest of the top 5 middleweights in the newest issue of Muscular Development (w/ Dexter Jackson on the cover). We're all doing a front lat spread in front of our trophies. I'm the dorky guy on the far left.

Dorky my ass.

Thanks for posting that Shelby. I am yet to pick it up.

back2frontjact · 08-13-2006, 09:45 PM

Awesome pics as always, Shelby! I think you look great in all the pics. No dorkiness that I can see...

Shelby Starnes · 08-14-2006, 07:21 AM

Did I say dorky? I meant sexy.

Crimson Ghost · 08-14-2006, 01:56 PM

Looking great man!

In the first comparison pics of #5-#10, the guy on the far left is from CO and we've judged him at the past few contests.

You definately had the top spot in that group. That's awesome about the magazine too!! That would be sweet to see yourself in a top mag!

Shelby Starnes · 08-14-2006, 02:07 PM

Thanks CG!
Hopefully next year I'll get a bit more coverage!

IslandGirl · 08-15-2006, 01:55 PM

So when will you be sending my your autograph?

Great job Copa! Looking good!!!

Shelby Starnes · 08-15-2006, 02:01 PM

Thanks IG

I think YOU'RE the one to be giving autographs though!

hossjob · 08-15-2006, 02:14 PM

Shelby WOW! Tough line up, but you looked great. I'd have had you top 3 no doubt. Actually I think you are top 2 when you look at TOTAL package! Nice work. You are well on your way. Hey are you doiing the Michigans on Oct 14?

Shelby Starnes · 08-15-2006, 02:36 PM

Thanks Hoss.

I don't know of any show in Michigan in October. Are you sure you have the correct date?

I'm not competing again until next year anyways.

jplahm · 08-15-2006, 05:43 PM

Just got that issue!!!Lookin great there Shelby!!!How is everything????
Jeff

bhman6 · 08-15-2006, 05:50 PM

yeah Oct. 14th in MI, I think it's called the motown classic

Shelby Starnes · 08-15-2006, 07:43 PM

Thanks Jeff. Everything is going good here, just doing the offseason thang.

bhman - is it an NPC show? It's not listed on the Michigan NPC website.

Ok I found it- it's an OCB show in Flint. No, I'm not doing that show. My next will probably be the Michigan again next May, and then Jr Nationals again in June.

Oh, my bad. I thought that WAS the Michigan, that OCB show. Hmmm, OCB, is that a natural organization?

Shelby Starnes · 08-17-2006, 08:39 AM

Yep I'm pretty sure it is.

The NPC Michigan is in May.
