You're perfect.. i hate you

Thank you for the compliment.

I guess all of those funky positions Victor has me doing for chest workout is working. (doing bench press sitting on the floor and only shoulders and head on the bench.) People look at us like we're crazy when he has me doing this stuff.

You look right on track to me C. You look great, you have awesome shape and symmetry as well...your physique is very pleasing to the eye. Your shoulders are freaky lookin'! VEry full/round and capped off. It looks like you are capable of pulling off some pretty sick conditioning judging from those last two weeks out pics. Keep truckin man.

First show is November 4th. MrMen1on is doing the same show and we may be in the same class which will be ... interesting.

Second show is nationals in Miami November 10th & 11th.

Yeah I can get pretty lean. This is from last time 1 week out. I covered my face because it's so emaciated I look like a zombie.

I'm glad I kept pictures from last time. I'm using them to compare conditioning to make sure I'm on track.

1 week apart. I'd continue the prep diet.

**Superhuman** · 09-29-2006, 02:08 PM

very nice! u have definitely come a long way from 130lbs! Chest and quads have improved a lot over the last year. If you're this shredded @ 5 weeks out I can't imagine what you're gonna look like the day of the show

**Undecided09** · 09-29-2006, 03:52 PM

Is it just me, or is that side tri maybe the best pic you've ever seen? I really love that Pic carlos, obviously, The arms are just so defined, each part of your muscle is shoing, and your abs are bulging, I mean I love ur wheels, but that side tri pic is a ****in JOKE! Ur gonna dominate!

P.S. Resize my pics before I get angry, lol, jk

**collar** · 09-29-2006, 06:14 PM

Carlos you look fantastic.
keep up the great work.
huge difference to last time you competed and leaning down nicely.
I can see the hard work paying off.
The shoulders just keep blowing out,the chest major improvement and what can you say the legs look great, veins and all.

Keep it up mate.

Yes.

**IBdmfkr** · 09-29-2006, 10:57 PM

How's he looking and where's he been? Last time he had a log which was interesting to follow.. You gonna blow him outta the water or what Carlos?

lol

It won't be easy to compete against someone so much shorter than him if you come in conditioned like you should.. should be a good show.

I talked to him about a month ago and he told me he's doing the show. I haven't heard from him since. We don't live or train near each other so I don't run into him.

**abstrack** · 09-30-2006, 10:46 AM

You just keep getting bigger and bigger!

**Carlos_E** · 09-30-2006, 10:53 AM

Yea, I've seen you post that pic b4, and I would say your conditioning there was prety much perfect. I mean I can't see your glutes/legs in there, but you look to be ON right there. I woudl say that is a good target to compare to. Shit, you even have cross-striations in your tricep LOL Good luck.

**UpstateTank** · 09-30-2006, 06:39 PM

my god carlos you're a friggen beast...that would be interesting if you and mr. mention were in the same class...an AR showdown!

**rockhardman** · 10-01-2006, 11:05 AM

Definitly Carlos WILL BE ON!!!!!! u have improve a lot brotha, and u will continue to improve every year to pro level, Im still behind u but hopefully we will have a showdown one day

**FranKieC** · 10-01-2006, 07:15 PM

Great progress C!!

**HULKBOY** · 10-01-2006, 09:00 PM

keep it up carlos!!

**william4092003** · 10-01-2006, 11:40 PM

Your legs looking amazing and so does your upper body.

bro i love that left shot of your tricep, so nice man!

**CSAR** · 10-02-2006, 06:02 AM

Delts are really capped - you got that rounded, cannonball look to them! Your delts in your avatar pic are somewhat reminiscent of Gary Strydom or Dennis Newman. Wicked definition in your older side tricep pic!!

**lightwaytbaby** · 10-02-2006, 06:53 AM

you look amazing bro, good luck on the show.

I talked to him today. Looks like we'll be in the same class. Most of the guys in the class will be 5'7"-5'9". I'm 5'6" so that's a benefit. I will look bigger.
