New Picts

[Carlos_E]

Sorry for the quality. I don't have my digital camera here so I used my cell phone. I'm 5'6" sitting right around 210. Still have some abs showing. :) Trying to bulk to 220-230.

I'm in my 30s. As far as natural. Hell... I don't think I do anything naturally anymore. :lol:

[Carlos_E]

For reference this is what I looked liked before.

Check out my big huge quads. :lol: No comments about the swim trunks. I was in Puerto Rico. I got laid left and right wearing those trunks.

125-130 Pounds

[Lavinco]

looking huge man.

What workout have you been doing to get your legs so huge?

[juicy_brucy]

looking great. huge. not to bad these days at all... good work...

[Carlos_E]

looking huge man.

What workout have you been doing to get your legs so huge?

I tore my adductor last year so I lost a lot of size so I've been working trying to get the size back. I don't do anything spectacular. The basics for quads. Squats, leg press, hack squats, front squats, lunges. I train hamstrings on a separate day. Stiff leg deads, standing leg curls, seating and laying curls. Then I do calves and for inner thigh I do ***** crunches. *The adductor machine.* You know, the thing women love to do for hours at the gym.

[Zapp]

You look better in the beach pic.

[Carlos_E]

You look better in the beach pic.

I remember you. You're the guy who goes around flaming people and I called you skinny. Thanks for your input. It's greatly appreciated. :heart: :asskiss: :heart:

I was about 125-130 pounds back then. That is about 7-8 years ago.

[Keyser Sozey]

Helluva transformation, Carlos. You have basically added over seventy pounds of lean tissue over the passed 7 years.:thumbsup:

[chest6]

very nice...not gonna say anything about the swim trunks either..big ol legs

[Zapp]

Never flamed anyone , but that newbie fat boy that was on here lying about how he gained 50 lbs off of a cycle of test. Don't take what I said to you as a flame, it was just my honest opinion.

[copenhagen]

I'd love to bang your ass.

[Carlos_E]

Don't take what I said to you as a flame, it was just my honest opinion.

In my opinion, looking like a boyish sake of bones covered with a thin layer of skin is not a good look. I prefer the look of a bodybuilder.

Because we all know a sack of bones is just ... a sack of bones. I'd rather have a sack of potatoes.

[Carlos_E]

I'd rather have a sack of potatoes.

A sack of potatoes can get you big. Not sure what you can do with a sack of bones besides look at em. :?:

or you can at least look like jeffery dahmer. :wg:

Thanks. The funny thing is I still see myself skinny like the beach picture. Damn dysmorphia.

[BeerBaron]

[SHRED]

HUGE difference in those pics.

Very nice progress!

[*Narkissos*]

I'm gonna beat you to 230 Carlosssssss... You need to stop growing for a year and i'll beat youuuu...

[grimnlock]

Lookin great.... i'm around your height and i can imagine how thick u look at that height with that weight of yours. Great job.

[MatrixGuy]

Looking thick as hell bro. You should feel very proud in how far you have come. I know i would with a body that looks that good!

p.s. love the trunks :wg:

[Odin]

Pay no attention to this junk carlos. Of course your not gonna look as good when your bulking, seems like the guy who made the comment stays lean year round, just look at how small his thighs are, not to mention his really narrow shoulders, clearly not a bodbuider. lol Good luck and keep bulking!

[BajanBastard]

Lookin' good Carlos! I really look up to the natural guys like you and Nark. :D

[Hackamaniac]

great work bro the before and after pics are awesome.

[Carlos_E]

I really look up to the natural guys like you and Nark. :D

Natural? :scratch: I don't even think the food I eat is natural. Nark and I are having a contest. Who gets big first!!!

[Carlos_E]

great work bro the before and after pics are awesome.

Thanks. The sad part for me my dysmorphia is so bad I sometimes see that same small body when I look in the mirror. I got problems. :lol:

[BajanBastard]

Natural? :scratch: I don't even think the food I eat is natural. Nark and I are having a contest. Who gets big first!!!Really? Word has it that Nark is the one of the best natural guys here!:rolleyes: LOL! He'll get the joke when he sees the post.

Looking friggn swole bro......keep it up.....still bulking?? How's training and the diet going? Contest soon?

[TinTin78]

Don't talk bad about Zapp, I think he looks awesome, I would like that physice. It's not all mass for me, you look good and all but you look just as good on that beach pic if not better. I like the swimming trunks also, what are you suppose to have, those kind that goes up in your ass? Well, I know you are bulking and all, but remember that it's not all size. I know most guys here will salute you for being bigger and bigger, but most chicks have a limit to were they care about mass. They would choose the cut up picture 10/10 times, you could try it yourself.

I know you are competing so I understand you wanting to advance to greater mass and so all the time, just don't let it destroy you in the process.

And this is not something I say to flame you or because I am jealous, I see alot of good bodies here, and those I like the most are definitely not the biggest ones.

Nevertheless, great progress, I can see you work very hard, I hope you reach your goals and that it will make you happy.

And just remember, it doesn't matter in the end how one looks, it is the quality of ones heart that matters in the end. I say that because you called one of your brothers a boyish sack of bones and that is just childish shit.

[Carlos_E]

I don't like chicks so I don't care what they think. Besides, I lift for me and to compete. Not to attract other people.

Don't talk bad about Zapp

I say that because you called one of your brothers a boyish sack of bones and that is just childish shit.

You did not read some of the comments Zapp has made about other people. That's where my comment came from. This is an old thread and our issue has been resolved anyway.

Cheers.

[TinTin78]

Well ok carlos, I did not know he started it all, but someone gotta stop it and be a model for others. This world looks so shitty today because everyone is so full of pride and can't just get over little meaningless shit. I know you don't train for chicks, and I don't, but I looked in alot of other threads and it seems like a big reason why many train. You should always train for yourself, and people should always respect you for the one you are on the inside. The outside is constantly changing and it is only cells, it is the soul that carries the joy and love and we should show it more that's all.

Take care Carlos

[Kurz]

Carlos - you look solid bro......some are in for the beach and chicks, some for health, others to compete (which means getting as big and as cut as possible - you) I'm interested to see your current routine, diet strategies, thoughts, goals.....etc.....

[Carlos_E]

Looking friggn swole bro......keep it up.....still bulking?? How's training and the diet going? Contest soon?

Yes, I'm still bulking. I'm at 217 but I'm having a hard time holiding it. It's time to increase cals.

I'm going to do national shows starting August '06.

I thought your diet looked a tad light in cals.....add in some good fats.....get yourself some "Muscle Milk!"

[Machdiesel]

[BajanBastard]

I don't like chicks so I don't care what they think. Besides, I lift for me and to compete. Not to attract other people.Does this mean i have a chance?

[Carlos_E]

Does this mean i have a chance?

No. You're not my type either. But I like how you qouted that and pointed it out. Thanks! :1hifu:

[Maraxus]

[Carlos_E]

Thanks. Nationals is in November. I want to do Team Universe in August so I would have to start dieting in late May/early June.

Then I will do a local show in Jersey a week before Nationals to warm up for Nationals.

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment very much. :7up:

*They're not swim trunks they're gym shorts I wear around the house. My quads make them ride up and I didn't bother to pull em down.*

Lookin stout Carlos!

Carlos man, that shoulder trap combo is what i'm trying to acheive, god its so hard to create that at my height.. Good shit man. Care to help a bro out?

Thank you. I really don't do that much for shoulders. I just hit them heavy.

4 sets of military presses 10, 6, 6, 4 reps range.
4 sets of lateral raises with dumbells or cables 10, 8, 6, 6.
4 sets of rear delts using the pec deck or cables, 10, 8, 8, ,8.
If I have time a couple of sets of front raises with dumbells or cables.

My shoulder workout takes exactly 30 mins then I do biceps.

[Gra]

I don`t get how they think you look better in the beach pic, but thank god we`re not all the same. Looking great in the 210 pic. Hope you do well in nationals.

[Carlos_E]

I'm hoping it was sarcasm. I was so skinny back then. I hate skinny and skinny people scare me.

[Booz]

[Bigshred]

Carlos - check your PM bro!

[oldman]

Not bad I guess, keep trying you will get there.. :lol:


just kidding bro, you look great.. Each one of us has our idea on what our body should be and we should all lift and grow for ourselves first and screw the rest if they don't like it.


Keep pushing... more pics when the time is right!
