Totally awesome bro!!! :eek: :eek:

I think Matarazzo might have some competition, lol! Definitely due to genetics, as you say - or does a baby bouncer get passed down through the generations, lol!!! ;)
We definitely need to share calf parts... get doing those seated calf raises bro! :p

Just a quick Q - when you rise up on your toes, do you feel the majority of your weight on your big toes or your other toes?

def

03-31-2002, 03:54 PM
on the big toes....I find it extremely hard to balance while "attempting" to be on the smaller toes....

My ankles are very bad and tend to bow outward almost like my outside ankle will touch the ground, so i have to shift the weight back to the big toes....

I think your back looks great! You could be a little more defined, but that's just a matter of dieting, not your back-workout...
But I suggest that you start out with the deadlifts, 'cus your biceps are gonna be a little tired after the rowing, and it could lead to an injury.

Btw your mom has excellent calves! :p And your's are just SUPERBE! I'd kill for calves like your's...

Your calves are just plain awesome! Your mom has definately passed her genetics down to you. Your back photo shows you have alot of thickness....especially in your traps and delts.

03-31-2002, 06:49 PM
What can I say, you look awesome brother, abso-****inglutely-awesome.

Props to you and your back that is developing nicely.

Tell mom she should become a BBer too :D

03-31-2002, 08:16 PM
Thanx for the compliments guys! I was posting the extra calve pictures to hopefully show better pics that I did not use any AAS ever and also no site enhancements. As my calve development was questioned slightly earlier.

Also, I had never seen a pic of my back before and I had no idea it looked so crappy! I'm dying for any advice on how to get it looking better. I know diet will help and I'm now on a carb depletion style diet (trying to see how it works, any advice on that i'll also accept, going to post a thread on the appropriate forum soon.)

Again thanx all for the compliments and advice!

Ok guys I took a few extra shots before the battery died and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need to focus on and in general any specific problem(s) you see.

Thanx

03-31-2002, 09:37 PM
the traps....dont know how to flex them, just tried to make em look as big as I could.... :/

KunipshunFit
03-31-2002, 09:39 PM
finally a relaxed shot of me simply standing in front of the mirror...My ULTIMATE desire is to stand completely relaxed and for there to be a 6 pack showing...hell i'd settle for a 4 pack.

Once again any and ALL advice is welcome...Please feel free to tell me any area's to work on or which look to be lagging...

I would work on the chest some more, try to bring it out.The arms look good.

thanx for the advice Canes' All throughout highschool i HATED to work chest...I really only started working it around a year and a half ago.....I'm fairly strong in my exercises I just cant seem to get it to "bulge" like I want it.

For example on my chest i do "flat bench, feet on ground"
10X235
8X255
6X275
4X295

keep in mind i'm 5'7-5'8 and weigh in around 198...I'm going to start hitting the dumbells hard to get some shape and try to work that split between the pecs...

It looks to me Kunipshunfit that you are a delt man - know what I mean? Some people get great pecs, some get great delts and only a few can get both great delts and great pecs.

If I was you I'd just keep blasting away and keep a journal of both your diet and your training - a great help to making progress.

KunipshunFit
04-01-2002, 06:36 AM
Def,

I understand about the journal, a long time ago I made an excel spreadsheet with a very kick ass journal for the lifting. Until recently I never kept track of diet. There was another memeber on the boards who had an excel spreadsheet with the dietary information portion and I asked him to send me a copy, but as of yet have not recieved it. I'm in the process of trying to make my own, but for now I simply write everything down in a notebook and then will transfer it all to the excel journal lata.


Thanx for the observations!

Bro,

I've got a website that I'm still working on - http://www.growthlog.com/

It's an online diet and training journal system so if you fancy being a beta tester when it's at that stage I think I might be able to fit you in, lol! ???

def

PS Very impressive bench press weights for your weight!!

KunipshunFit
04-01-2002, 10:41 AM
Thanx for the opportunity to beta test with that online journal...I'd love to be able to help ya, besides it would give me a chance to keep a log for once. :)

Thanx!

Also, about the bench weights, they are decent for my weight, only problem is throwing weights like that I should have much more of a chest than I do...:( I'm working on it though. Going to hit the dumbells hard try to shape it, make it look bigger hehe

Lata, Kunipshun

No worries m8!

Try and keep your shoulder blades as tucked in as possible when you are benching, with your shoulders drawn back and down. This takes your shoulders out of the action as much as possible. Don't go too mad on the weights though - I tore my pec and wouldn't like anyone else to do the same!

04-02-2002, 03:37 AM
Thanx for the words guys. I'm still working with this carb depletion diet. It is really heard to get the carbs as low as I want them, I dont really have any way of knowing exactly where they are at, but as far as lables are concerned i'm only intaking about 100 a day on the first day, then I pyramid down to 50.... I'm trying to gradually step it down to get use to it.

I've been dieting seriously now for just a bit over two weeks...Lost 4 pounds and according to the meter i'm at 12.3% bf. I think i'm a bit more fat than that....I'm trying to get into single digits! I weighed in yesterday at 194.5lbs.

Once I get my diet completely worked out to keep the carbs under or around 50g a day I think the weight will just shed off like water in a sauna.

Again, Thanx for the words of advice and compliments

Dude, what is your problem bro. You are flaming everyone's pix tonight. Dude, you don't flame folks you build them up.

KunipshunFit
04-02-2002, 07:51 PM
Canes, thanx for the words but in all honesty I ignore people who are obviously brand new to the board and start off flaming people.

Bicepsual,

From the content and detailed description of your critique it is obvious you are a marvelous body builder with a quick wit and equally impressive vocabulary. I was hoping that you could please, please be so gracious as to post a pic of yourself. Please do me this one favor so that I may have a picture of perfection to strive for.

Furthermore, it is obvious that in your infinite wisdom and the obvious time you placed upon reading the rules of this board that you are truly a model body builder and should be bronzed as a trophy so that all can adore you for the whole of existence.

I also wish to express my gratitude for your in depth diet which you listed above. The recommendation to lose the fat was obviously well backed with this suggestion to dietary change. Your eyesight should also be commended as your observant eyes have noticed the fat deposits around my chest; I applaud this effort because it must have been extremely difficult to draw your eyes away from the deposits around my waist and ab's. With an obvious effort, which was for my benefit, you placed yourself above the rules and regulations of this board and with what I am sure was a difficulty, renounced your hold on common courtesy to express your deepest thoughts about my current physical state.

I feel I should be grateful and I am. If it weren't for people like you I may never be able to laugh. Please do this board and myself a favor and refrain from typing on your keyboard.

Kunipshun

P.S. Don’t forget to post that pic of yourself for me. I must have something to strive for.

What a dork. I praise anyone with enough courage to post their picture. Even when people look good sometimes they have a negative body image so it is hard to show your body, especially to a group of people who train hard.

All that matters is that we care about working hard to see a positive change and that we progress towards our goals one day at a time.

Keep up the good work!

I agree with you scott, I was very nervous at first before ever posting my picture. Everyone that has viewed it and offered critiques has been very helpful and I am greatly appreciative of that!

I'm working hard and the diet is starting to come togethor. Finding out what sugar and carb cravings are all about. I actually think it's starting to work because I can tel I'm "hungry" but only for certain things, So it's obviously cravings. I am off to read the dieting section for more tips on that and some of the kick ass recipes!


Thanx to all of the AR members and Mods for participating and having such an outstanding board! I've learned more about diet, workout training and ofcourse AAS from a few months reading this board, than from reading tons of books on the subject!

Well it seems that slight flaming i recieved halted others from suggestions for me to improve upon. I'm currently working hard on the cardio this week. I pulled something in my shoulder and it hurts to do anything with my left arm. I'm hitting legs 2 times this week and pounding the cardio. Next week i'm going to hit dumbells to shape up that horrible chest of mine and start on some of the ab work again.

My worst parts I feel are my Chest, Bi's, Ab's and Quads.

I am currently around 12 % bf (*at least that's what the scale was saying*) I think i'm more like 13.5 My goal is 8% by June 1st.

My diet is pretty well worked out, a few more minor parts to isolate and re-work but otherwise the diet and water intake look good, now it's just time and dedication.

If anyone has any recommendations for my varous body parts which are lacking, please feel free to tell me a way to improve them....I've tried numerious things and plan to keep experimenting until I find what puts on mass for the chest and cuts everywhere else....


I plan on doing my first cycle sometime in the upcomming winter or late fall season and will be bulking out of the ass, already putting togethor a few possible cycles, I want to get 8% at around 185lbs this summer, then bulk up as high as possible while keeping the bodyfat under or around 15...

Hey Bro

Keep up the hard work bro. You will get the six pack in no time with determination and planning. Well at least thats what I'm counting on.

What has been your last two chest routines? Exercies/reps and weights

How often do you do your chest routine?

As an idea - maybe a little exercise confusion will help stimulate growth. What I know is, if it aint working and getting results day in 6 weeks, look for other answers.

I think you need to really blast your chest ONCE a week. The question is thought what sort of routine to use. Here is one I am trying. Its and adaption of Big Kevs - I needed to change it to suit the machines at my gym.

This routine took me about 40 minutes to do. Great pump.
Flat barbell bench press-4 sets, 2-5-8-10 reps
Incline dumbbell press-4 sets, 6-8-12-12 reps
Peck deck-3 sets, 10-16 reps
Smith Machine press-3 sets, 8-12 reps
DB Bench Press-3 sets, 12-20 reps

what do the others think?

I have since changed my chest routine, A friend of mine just got done competing in the Gold's Classic down at the beach and i am doing his diet....and an adaptation of bigKev's chest routine.

I am doing all dumbells to help stimulate the growth of the upper chest and hitting it once a week....looks something like this

Incline DB 10-6-8-12
Flat DB 10-6-8-12
Cables 10-10-10
Incline Hammer 10-6-8-12

Diet is super clean

Breakfast 5 whites 2 whole eggs
Snack Protien Shake
Lunch Chicken, Cabbage, 1/2 Sweet Potato
Snack Protien Shake
Dinner Orange Roughy Fish, Steamed Broch. 1/2 Sweet Potato
Snack Protien Shake

Any cravings I have Crystal Light :)

No AS use yet, dieting for 8 weeks hard on this diet and then am going to start the AS to bulk up and live life large!!!

Any critiques welcome!
