MIKE_XXL off-season pics...be gentle...

**MIKE_XXL** · 07-10-2002, 05:45 AM

Ok here are some off-season pics, i am about 197 lbs, BF don't know don't care, they are the off-season pics, right....i am in a bulk up stage of my life, hoping to get up close to 210 in a about 6 weeks or so, using 75mg/eod of Tren
100 mg of test prop/eod
50mg of d-bol/day
25mg of Winny/day
Arimidex /day
6 iu of Slin after workouts and only on work out days...

I am not a heavy user, this is the highest amount i have ever taken totaling about 1,150mg of gear per week. (it would however be considered heavy for a newbe)

Calories are around 3,200 - 330gm of protein 330gm of carb and 45gm of fat, training is 2 on 1 off, it's a variation of German Volume Training program and NO cardio. (I will increase calories if i have to)
I will post pics when i am all done bulking, so far i have bulked up on Keto diet with a 36 hour carb up every 6 days, the objective was to stay as lean as possible and still gain some lean body mass, i think it worked pretty good, but now it's time to "go get it", i have a show coming up in early November, so that does not leave me a lot of time to bulk up and still dial in for the show...

Thanks for your time bro's and sis's................XXL (on the way to XXXL)

Funny you say that, because i was thinking the same thing, then f**kers just don't want to respond, not very well anyway...but i'll keep trying.................Thanks guys.....................XXL

***Pheedno*** · 07-10-2002, 07:39 AM

Looking excellent Mike.
I'm going for your off-season BF%.
Stacking up to 210(or over) should leave you some good room for cutting before contest. Good luck

**kingjmack** · 07-10-2002, 07:43 AM

train hard & get freaky!!
congratulations on all the hard work you have put into creating your massive physique.

**Havesome77** · 07-10-2002, 08:48 AM

Mike, to put it bluntly----You look f***in awesome. I weighed in this morning at 193lbs and I sure as hell don't look as big as you!!! I know your bulking right now, but what does your diet and training look like when it's time to cut? My end result goal is to have a body like you... Again, you look great. Have a good one and any advice that you have would be very helpful.

**primodonna** · 07-10-2002, 10:28 AM

Well, well, well...i have you by 2 lbs but where the hell did my abs go?

Looking great as usual

right on! "I know I saw them around here just a month ago!"

anyways mike - DAMN! I'll say it again, "YOU ARE MY IDOL! When I grow up I wanna look just like you!"

can't wait to see the after pics ...

**tatty** · 07-10-2002, 11:51 AM

**eradikate** · 07-10-2002, 01:51 PM

mike you have the perfect body dude! i hope i can look like you one day!

**Cali** · 07-10-2002, 02:28 PM

Wow..you look great! Off season even? Impressive, Mike!

**palme** · 07-10-2002, 02:37 PM

pfft you dont know what offseason means!

I havnt looked at your old pics in a while but seems like chest/shoulders are bigger? Calves bring your physic down some but like Coleman your back draws eyes away from them.

Keep it up bro you are an inspiration to me and many others here on AR!

**ECKO 747** · 07-10-2002, 02:50 PM

Now I'm real depressed... In the off-season I don't look a thing like that (more like a border line whale)....

BY the way U look awesome bro, keep the exclent work

**A_Nice** · 07-10-2002, 03:05 PM

Hey man, id like to chime in and say you look very impressive. Especially this being your "offseason" condition. I like the full look your muscles have now, and your STILL really shredded.

**The French Curler** · 07-10-2002, 03:08 PM

Best back I've ever seen! You seem to be one of those guys that doesn't really get a lot of fat along with his muscle. An ectomorph, maybe?

You look bigger!

**saint808** · 07-10-2002, 03:24 PM

that's offseason and is better than i will ever look... tell ya what i'll trade ya an inch from each calf but you have to take 2 inches from my waist too

**BIGGIN** · 07-10-2002, 03:45 PM

Man, you are in phenominal shape!! You back is awesome and your legs...man, what I would give to get some thighs like that. Excellent...just excellent!!!

BIGGIN

**lextheflex** · 07-10-2002, 03:47 PM

offseuu

**bigtraps1** · 07-10-2002, 04:02 PM

Uh, are you sure these are off season pics?

***Shredz*** · 07-10-2002, 04:03 PM

MikeXXL you are looking great...bro..nice and thick but hard as a rock at the same time. Shoulders have some great width to them..back is still solid as ever, and man those quads are have some major sweep to them. Keep up the good work you are looking great.

**rexflexall** · 07-10-2002, 04:03 PM

look great, we got the same prob. with the calves. i bust their ass and their pumped out after my workout, then the next day back to normal. i don't get it. if you don't mind me asking how old are you?

**Rocket** · 07-10-2002, 04:43 PM

Looking great dude, back is wide, wheels are out of this world! Nice!

Rocket

**roch** · 07-10-2002, 06:18 PM

**Dr. Derek** · 07-10-2002, 06:30 PM

YOU ARE ONE FAT SON OF A BITCH. I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD EVEN POST THOSE PICS IN THAT CONDITION. NO WONDER I HAD TO BEG YOU TO TAKE SOME.

DUDE YOU ARE IN DIRE NEED OF 300 MCGS OF T-3 FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

WTF MIKE I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO POST YOUR OFFSEASON PICS, YOUR AS LEAN IN THOSE PHOTOS AS I WAS FOR MY LAST SHOW.

ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL SHAME YOU INTO GETTING FAT.

GOOD JOB

**freakout** · 07-10-2002, 06:42 PM

That is what I like about you Mike. You create wonders.

Good work!

**demetri** · 07-10-2002, 06:51 PM

I'd say you've achieved the level of consistency that I'm trying to get. Good job Mike, I'm impressed with your off season physique, you look awesome.

By the consistency that you show I'm going to assume that you're one heck of a bodybuilding competitor as well. I'm sure you'll do great at your show in November.

demetri

**sweetgirl** · 07-10-2002, 07:08 PM
