Critique me

**Neo22** · 04-25-2005, 11:01 AM

Here are a few pics. About to do my first cycle soon been training hardcore for about 3 years. 5'10 around 185 in these pics. I am holding a good amount of fat IMO in these and was on around 4k cals a day.

Please post honest critiques. I know I need to gain a ton of size still.

**fitnessguy** · 04-25-2005, 11:05 AM

Looking good my brutha...
I would say, judging from the pics, your traps are a weak point.
Very nice build though....

**fitnessguy** · 04-25-2005, 11:07 AM

You don't have ALOT of fat....
what are your goals with the upcoming cycle? and what does IT look like?

I really wanted to gain 10lbs lbm and pull up my weak points and then try to shred up. I am still contemplating what type of cycle to do whether prop or enanthate +dbol .I honestly have no idea how to get my traps to grow. I have tried everything I can think of, behind the back shrugs, front shrugs, haney shrugs you name it. My sources around here can only get IP and I'm having a hard time getting any qv stuff. Heres a sample of it.

week 1:dbol 20-30mg day. Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 2:dbol 23-30mg day. Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 3:dbol 20-30mg day. Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 4:dbol 20-30mg day. Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 5:Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 6:Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 7:Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 8:Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 9:Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 10:Test Eth 500mg (twice a week 250)
week 11: Nothing...PCT starts 12
week 15: 20mg nolva ED
week 16: 10mg nolva
week 17: 10mg nolva

I really wanted to add hcg but, I don't understand how to mix it and I was told its not necessary.

**niXon)(** · 04-25-2005, 11:45 AM

HCG isn't necessary with that cycle bro.

Looking real good for no cycles, only thing i'd do is work on your back/traps. and maybe a little bit more on chest

nice wheels.

**BASK8KACE** · 04-25-2005, 11:48 AM

Great job!

You look symmetrical. Your calves need work from what I can see (they should be the same size as your bi's when both bi's and calves are flexed).

I'd like to see a front double bi pose and a front torso shot (relaxed) in order to give you a more extensive critique as you requested by PM.

**fitnessguy** · 04-25-2005, 11:51 AM

looks like you've done some research. I would set the d-bol in the 30-40mg range. I like propionate better but that requires ED or EOD injects.
as for the traps, try holding the weights at the peak of the excersize for about 5-10 seconds each rep. it's killer. you might have to lower the weight. Good luck bro.

Allright I'll get some today later on in the afternoon. Try to check your pm's tonight

I don't know how to work on back/traps.

I was doing this for a backworkout
Deads
Db Rows
weighted pullups
cable rows

The last two months I've switched to
BB rows
Close grip pulldowns
close grip cable rows
machine rows

**dogsofwar** · 04-25-2005, 12:10 PM

Your definately not lacking in definition. I would
say pull the lats out and work on the rear head of
your delt. ~dow

**Polska** · 04-25-2005, 12:21 PM

nice taper and quads!

Not too much fat either. I think you don't have a long way to go to drop it into the single digits

**Juddman** · 04-25-2005, 12:24 PM

You look great bro...like already said, need trap work, and calves look a little thin from what I can see. Good base though...all the best with your cycle.

**BlInDsIdE** · 04-25-2005, 09:27 PM

u've got an impressive back

**BlueAndromeda73** · 04-26-2005, 02:14 AM

lookin good, nice separation through the back, could hit the chest harder, just a thought, good luck on your cycle.

**hardgainer1** · 04-26-2005, 09:17 AM

how about a lat spread? that leg is f'in swole! nice work

**Testsubject** · 04-26-2005, 09:44 AM

Excellent work bro, you look good, but Id say you need to work on the lats, add some width to those puppies.

**TheDfromGC** · 04-26-2005, 12:26 PM

id think u look heavier then 185....where are ur lifts at???

**Neo22** · 04-26-2005, 12:32 PM

I rep 245 on squat from 8-10 reps and then can do 275x6 or so. Haven't done deads in over 3 months. When i was doing deadlifts I was doing 335x6. Dumbell press for bench is around 80's. I rarely do flat BB.

**TheDfromGC** · 04-26-2005, 12:35 PM

pretty good, u got similiar buiuld to mine, cept ur a bit leaner

**Ntpadude** · 04-28-2005, 12:52 AM

I'd say he's carrying around about 10# in water from a recent cycle... probably have more pec definition and separation in all muscles when PCT rids him of the water.

**bigcut77** · 04-28-2005, 01:52 AM

lookin great bro. You pack on some more pounds with that frame and you will be a monster. I dont believe you are nearly as fat as you may think. A little water perhaps but not much fat. Good job.

I have NEVER done a cycle. I'm going to be doing my first shortly and was seeing where I stand. Thank you though.

**Jantzen4k** · 04-29-2005, 09:48 PM

goodluck on your cycle

looking good

I am looking again at the pictures and wondering why I suggested water weight... doesnt look that bad and its obvious the camera and lighting is to blame for watered appearance. Its often better to take outdoors pictures as opposed to indoors with these small lens digital cameras.

I dunno, my camera is a pos. I'll probably get some outside after the cycle. I DO hold a good amount of water though.

**Trackman 37** · 04-30-2005, 07:21 PM

Looking good, quads are real strong. Back seperation is good just need some more mass. Stick mostly to rowing excercises. Try upright rows with a narrow grip in addition to the shrugs for your traps. Good luck with the cycle I'm 7 weeks into my first cycle now and am pretty happy with the gains thus far.

**dr.shred** · 04-30-2005, 07:37 PM

bro your back is very similar to mine. You look great, keep up the hard work.

**madflabby** · 07-13-2005, 10:46 PM

You look pretty ripped, but you're pretty weak, kinda early for AAS.

**Billyspt4** · 07-13-2005, 11:31 PM

Look very good bro, definitely would be nice to see you after a cycle
