9 weeks out clip >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93JZ5DeZoCs

**abstrack** · 06-25-2009, 09:40 AM

I think you look good. On the right track. The only thing I would focus on after the comp is bring in your lagging quads. You have a wider waist line. To take away from the wide waist, you quads need to flare out more to give you the illusion of a smaller waist.

You back already has some nice thickness and width to it, so having better quad development will tie things more respectively.

Thats just my .02

Conditioning is very good and ahead of schedule. I agree the quads could use more size but that is what the off season if for. Nothing you can do about it 9 weeks out. Looking very good overall though.

Damn...I hear yea FireGuy...too late to bring up the weak points...then again i've only been doing 500mg sust/week...2 iu gh/day...and some humilin R every once and a while...so many options...need some tren 4sure and go to 500mgsust every 3rd day...maybe some halo...off the fat burners for now...my job has me active @ a hrate of 110 bpm for 4 hours/day...sleep 4 hours/night avg
I'm 5'5" and carbed up to 181 last sat. Avg empty mornin weight has been 174 but has dropped to 170 the last 2 days...carbs avg 350g non training day and up tp 500g on a training day. protein 350-400g over 8-10 feedings...fat is around 75-125g/day...h20 is 5-7l/day cuse it's been fukin hot and i work outside........so I'm thinkin I need to carb up again this weekend...50-75g evry couple hours for 2 days...with slin of course...and see what happens...strength is still peakin so that's good. Time will tell. thnx 4 ur input!!

yeah Abstrack...i should never have did those weighted side cable crunches for obliques back in the day. Now I don't train abs at all...well maybe once a week. Tried to bring up the vastus lateralus with heavy hacks for years, then the last 6 month been doin heavy deep, wide free squats...tape measure still reads the same...must be i way i can position my feet/knees to create illusion when posing...or work more on flexing andbringing out the upper quad/saratorius...darker tan...special lighting...
I'd say my hams suck way worse than my quads...then there's the calves and chest...the never ending quest for size..lol...19.5 years of trainin' and still not there...

Calves n abs today! 58 sleeps to go!

....thnx bro...no other goodies i can think of...and i aint thinkin to clearly....just about my empty stomach...actually superpump250 prior to training is a fav...tried to train legs today after work...no go...300g/crabs for the day no where near enough, with the workload i had...sittin @ 173lbs right now...only 3.5l h20 today...gonna get up early and do a proper load...and train the **** outa my wheels...not many sessions left...evry rep has to count!

Have a good weekend!!

**TractionIssues** · 06-28-2009, 12:03 AM

Looking great bro, I just have to say you should really concentrate on the quads, and try to get that mid section as tight as possible. Are you using HGH? It would kinda explain the mid section, because it's quite wide.

....quads ...eh...really surprised no one it seeing my real weak point...chest/hams...once i get better @ posing my waist is gonna look way smaller...lol...it better.
Here's a clip fro my last show >>> 2007CANADAS~WELTER PREJUDGING

...AND ANOTHER FROM 2006 >>> 2006CANADAS~WELTER PREJUDGING

...decided to go with a trainer for the first time ever! IFBB PRO Nicole Ball who will be traveling to the nationals after doing the Tampa Pro show the weekend prior. Should be interesting...55 sleeps to go!

**mouse78** · 07-06-2009, 11:22 AM

looking great buddy, try to keep flexing your quads when doing a latspread . You tend to relax them a bit and put a bit to mutch focus on your upper body.

this is a posing routine of mine maybe it will be of some help. its not flwaless bu i had to put it together in about 30 minutes :-)

...30 minute prep for your routine? From the looks of it you've been training for decades. When's ur next show? You are sure to always be top 3...I can't see any weaknesses.
Ultimatley at the national level everyone is peaked right out, so the posing must be flawless. ...and yea..the quads...lol...and the hams on the side chest among others...practice...practice...again and again. I'm doing 2-15min sessions daily of real serious posing with the head judge audio to follow. Talk about a workout...h/rate averages 130b/min from the intensity. AUG 22 IS GONNA BE SO ****IN' INTENSE!!!

...so much for the trainer idea...she flaked out and never got back to me...guess that's 700 extra $$$$ in my pocket. Shes got her own show a week b4 anyways, so it was a bad idea to begin with.

I'm happy to say the girlfriend #334 did the WBFF figure med on sat and got a 3rd out of 11...there were 153 entries. 53 in bikini!! only 11 total men competitors and no womens bbing. here's a few clips from the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrhjwVy_g6s

47 days to go!!!

**MIKE_XXL** · 07-09-2009, 04:14 PM

I would skip the slin, i do not like it during comp perep, i have done it without carbs (DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME...lol) and had nothing but lean gains but i would not mess with that in contest prep...Anadrol i would do last 7-10 days to help fill out...another thing i recomend is cutting all oil based 14 days out, GH 10 days out, waterbased 7 days out and orals 1 day out, just to make sure there is no lumps unecessary water retantion and getting tight as hell...good luck Bro...XXL

....hmm not even say 5iu slin on a chest day when carbs are higher...it's a weeak point i need brought up!...anadrol up untill 1 day out...interesting...i usually drop all aas a week out..and ad dyazide a couple days out.

I took a few pix...after a wicked leg session! Strong as ever and the weight is @ 170 after 340 pro...370 carb...60 fat and 4.5lt h2o also was active for 5hours today hrate avg 105 b/min...i'd say i'm far from carbed up...but lookin like i'm gone be a damn welterweight again!

i was 175lb on saturday tho...check the pix and see whatcha think...i'm gettin close...

lol... 5'5 @ 170 with 5 - 6% BF is outstanding bro. Very thick look. I honestly think you should place well.

You might want to talk to Fireguy1 about the BF% estimation, that's his specialty.

If you keep drol to one day out it will help fill you out and keep you full, high white blood cell count will ensure decent level of vascularity...i usually recomend keeping oral till day before...Dyazide will flash out any and all water you will need to loose...

I guess 5-6iu of slin once a week would propably be alright, i thought you ment every day after training, than i would say no way...

You are in great shape for 44 days out, keep it nice a slow, you are dialing in very nice...

Good luck Bro and keep us posted!

Can't wait to see what you'll look like when you peak.

Stop worrying about your weight. It really isn't about that.

Bodycomp is as follows: delt~51.25...chest~47...arm~17.75...ab~30.50 and 34"@umbilicus...quad~24...calf~15.75----SKINFOLD 9 SITE~pec-4...bi 2...tri-3.5...ab-4.5...si-3...quad-4...calf-3...ss-7...k-8=38.5mm....bodyfat% works out to about 5.99%...better have a zero carb day tomorrow...and keep the average @ 150-225carb/day depending on activity.

Hope ur all enjoying your weekend!

...time for more food prep...lol

**MIKE_XXL** · 07-12-2009, 11:16 AM

No problem Bro...i agree with Nark do not worry about the weight...i think you look very tight at this stage of your prep, 1lbs a week of loss now and dropping water will get you there, stay focused and keep pushing forward...

**FITFANATIK** · 07-12-2009, 08:16 PM

Gonna keep the carbs as low as i can...only 215gram today and i'm getting more serious with the posing. Gettin' tense...and more hungry...need to get outa the 4 rep range sets for a few weeks and mybe do a week or 2 of german volume...1 exersize 10sets of 10 @ 60%/max. with 45 sec rest....maybe...enrgy is good so is strength...gotta be careful...don't need an injury...

**FITFANATIK** · 08-13-2009, 11:27 PM

A few pix from tonight and yesterday...only about 6 days left to burn fat then i need to get carbin up! I Have an 11 hour drive next wed to get to the hotel...i'm @ 3400feet aprox and will be going down to sea level...there are ways this can affect ones peformance and possibly ...conditioning??? Any thoughts on that?

**Narkissos** · 08-14-2009, 07:47 AM

The altitude shift should cause you to shed water weight.

**CHAP** · 08-14-2009, 09:42 AM

Very impressed

***FireGuy*** · 08-14-2009, 10:07 AM

Looking nice and tight!

thnx...I wonder if the reverse would be true? Sea level to a higher altitude make you hold water? i suppose a person should avoid air travel @ all costs...or arrive...days/weeks b4 show to adjust.

So many variables to address to show up @ prejudging @ 100%

Stored bodyfat is still my primary concern...or should i say preserving LMM.

Always walking a fine line the last few weeks...just need that 40-50g/pro every 90-120 min. Last leg sess hours away...

...ahhh the home stretch...i can't wait to rebound!!!

FireGuy1~you're not trying to tell me to "be satisfied" are ya?
...i need to here critisism...this is the nationals we are talkin about!
I need to get more pix 4 a proper assesment...later today...adding a few extra carb feedings...been averaging 200g/day...with work/training and 2~30 min treadmill sess+20 min posing/day. Added 20mcg/day t-3 two weeks ago...20mg tamox 2x/day...no abombs in 2 weeks...off all test 2 weeks...no saizen for 1 week...all supps gone...down to a few select foods and...just 150mg tren ace every 3rd day. Don't know about the drol...might add in 3 days out...

CHAP~'preciate the props!

Hoping for the best...gonna crawl into my incubator.

Have a good weekend guys!
