Hey everybody new to forum

205 lb weight so far

Any critique is appreciated
feel free to ask questions
ill be posting Weekly pictures starting with front side and rear shots weekly
I have been training for this for 12 weeks and came off 6 month break from the gym because of a injury. So heres first set of pics

**Cuz** · 11-04-2013, 08:45 PM

looks like bodybuilding to me. 205 is big at 8% or less. your a big guy with a wide back for physique it seems. you look great

**AC1990** · 11-05-2013, 01:07 PM

everyone wanted me to bodybuild but I feel like there is more of a realistic future for me in mens physique then bodybuilding I am not down for that lifestyle those guys put in work that I cannot keep up with. but I am hoping to be around 190 by show time & thanks do u feel as if my bf is 8% or less right now? I was thinking it was like 10%

**AC1990** · 11-05-2013, 01:10 PM

ill post pics from my pose practice tonight.

just my estimate. I wouldn't put you over 9%. Really lean man, single digits are tuff. Would you mind posting your diet?

Wheels?

If you have good calves youll do very well. Tiny waist broad chest that's what they like. Your in great shape for six weeks out. You must be stoked! ! Put up a front shot I want to see your back from the front

BG · 11-05-2013, 06:32 PM

If I would say you need to work on something it wold be so back defelopement, you have good wdth but from that shot seems like you could use some more rowing and deading added in. All different angles and movements with the rows.

**AC1990** · 11-06-2013, 02:02 AM

**AC1990** · 11-06-2013, 02:02 AM

agree my weak point is my back its wide but needs more definition in areas! I have added another back day to focus to my routine!

**AC1990** · 11-06-2013, 02:06 AM

I don't wanna sound arrogant but I am being honest up till last week I was still bulking so I just started my diet 6weeks out I was eating Cake,pizza burritos the whole 9 yards up till sunday haha
but now this is the routine I will be following till show prep

Am : 1 scoop protein liquid glucosomine / glutamine/ chlorosine (sorry spellin sux)

meal 1 : 10 egg white scramble 1 yolk 4 oz chicken breast 1 ezekial toast

meal 2 : 6 oz tilapia 1 cup broccoli

**Cuz** · 11-06-2013, 01:50 PM

you eat all that? damn dude. what are those macro splits? gotta be over 300g protein. Doesn't seem like a cutting diet but if you said you were eating cake pizza and burritos and you are 8% bodyfat I absolutely hate you know.

**AC1990** · 11-06-2013, 04:12 PM

lmao im at around 350 protein 100 carb under 30 fat a day. for me that's a cut man when I was around 19-21 I was bodybuilding and was around 240 big. this is a very hurtful diet to do I am 4 days in and already tired ofi t

**bass** · 11-06-2013, 04:22 PM

damn that's your cutting diet?! LOL, that's like my bulking diet and I am same height as you! geeez you look great man, just work on that back a little more and you're GTG.

**Cuz** · 11-06-2013, 09:57 PM

looks like more carbs to me. are your weights cooked or uncooked. im not tryng to argue just curious bro. your diet is bad ass man I couldn't afford to eat all that fish lol.

**bass** · 11-07-2013, 12:00 AM

awesome metabolism, that's all I can say.

**AC1990** · 11-07-2013, 01:44 PM

im thinking of cutting some of the meals out someone said I was coming in to big the other night for the show I guess the judging in this particular show likes smaller so ima take out a meal and carb cycle I am at 202 now and upd cardio 1:20 min a day split into morning empty stomach and after workout

**AC1990** · 11-07-2013, 01:46 PM

its okay I don't think your arguing lol . I shop at Costco and buy fish in bulk 100$ is like 40 filets? or something like that and my girl helps me with a lot of my bills. and we throw a mix of both
I will probably add a steak or chicken meal in there somewhere idk yet! im 1 week in on this and ready to kill myself lol

Genetics are awesome

**Java Man** · 11-13-2013, 11:14 PM

You have the look I've been after all my life. Not huge (don't be offended by that, I mean you aren't 290 like a mr. o., not that youre a small guy), big though, well proportioned, small waist, wide shoulders, lean. I have your metabolism but not your will. I can't eat a diet like that for more than a week.

I think you'll do really well in physique.

**AC1990** · 11-14-2013, 05:23 PM

everyone said that! I have 5 weeks can I convert to bodybuilding in 5 weeks? and be ready and place in that show? and idk am I allowed to write down what I take on this ?

**cj111** · 11-14-2013, 06:00 PM

and idk am I allowed to write down what I take on this ?

of course, we don't know you from joe blow down the road.
Its what this site is for

**AC1990** · 11-14-2013, 06:48 PM

well from 12 weeks out I used

And that's pretty much riding into the show. and cutting test 2 weeks out completely

**AC1990** · 11-14-2013, 06:50 PM

after this show I will experience with GH and learn how to use slin and peptides and everything.. for offseason and season.. just new to it all still

**Java Man** · 11-14-2013, 08:34 PM

Go bb dude. With those genetics you'd be wasting your gift in physique imo. IDK if you can switch over in 5w, that'd be a question for those who have competition experience on that level which I do not.

P.S. I know juice has sugar, and pizza has a lot of fat but dammit they taste good

why I'd never make it in the competitive world.

Half joking, take his healthy original meals out and you have my real diet haha.

**< <Samson> >** · 11-14-2013, 09:13 PM

Damn yo, steroids check, weights check, food check - - - - - Now where do I get some genetics pills?

Geez man, I don't know if there is anything I can possibly do within my reach to have OP's physique. . . . Sickness man!
