i absolutely love stuff like this! Absolutely love it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i cant stand people in life (bodybuilding and outside bodybuilding) who sit there and complain that they want to be something or do something but dont take the steps to get there or dont apply themselves....its my big pet peeve.
i can relate!how many times do i tell people.....
Eat your way up into the weight class you want to be in. well this sounds good on paper but it will not work for everyone because you've got to have the genetics to hold more weight without becoming overly fat and not everyone has the frame or muscle fibers to become a heavy weight bodybuilder. I understand where he's coming from but many end up getting overly fat unless they have the genetics to gain that much muscle and thats what bodybuilding is all about. Anyone can hold a lot of fat but not muscle! I have seen guys gain a ton of weight in the offseason and end up right back where they where on stage a year ago after having dieted away the body fat. It just does not work that way for everyone but some it does! Its the easy gaining mesomorphs that have the greatest ability to make jumps in weight gains without gaining more fat than muscle-hence avoiding becoming insulin resistant!
want to be a light heavy? Better be weighing 238 offseason
want to be a heavyweight? Better be weighing 265 offseason
want to be a superheavyweight? Better be weighing 280 plus in the offseason!!!! pretty much agree with most of what he says here unless these guys are advanced bodybuilders who have already reached near their full-genetic-potential and would not require weighing more than 20 pounds or so past their contest weight because gains have pretty much ceased to exist and anything added on the scales much past that point would be mostly fat/water. .i love guys like t
his who say "fu...i am just doing it...fast!
How much shit does this guy below get daily from people? Probably alot, look they are allready giving him crap on that board.
Offseaon 280lbs!! - muscular development forums
that sure as hell aint freaking pretty...or comfortable but i'll tell you what....i admire a guy who decides to put 20 pounds on his contest stage bodyweight in a years time and make some major changes.
That guy used food for his anabolic....and yep he got big and doughy but he is going to be onstage even larger than these pics from last year show......the problem with doing anythig fast is that it puts a tremendous strain on your joints and organs like the heart. The body does not farewell carrying a lot of fat and add steroids/water retention into the equation and it gets even more dangerous.
this sport is tremendously tough in deciding what you want to do with it....do you want to be club guy who looks in shape year round but gains hardly anything from year to year? i agree here that you have to add some fat but going overboard is a huge mistake because you'll lose muscle getting that fat back off of you.or do you want to make major changes, throw caution of bodyfat to the wind, and suffer while coming down?
(i think there is a middle ground and thats what i would prefer)
but i like people who "get after it...and go for it"......this guy wants to look different to the judges than he did last time and is going to i would worry more about my health than what some judge thought of me.look how bad lee priest used to look offseason..nasty!could he do it in a more comfortable way and one thats a little bit prettier? Yea he could.....but this guy is awesome....he hits the accelerator hard and says "up yours...im jumping weight classes yearly while you guys toil 10 years to make your jumps!"
did i say i love it? I love it.
Know what i hate? Guys who try to do that and lose the big picture of why they tried to do that in the first place and get fat.....and then years later when they are lean again they forgot what put on that 20-30 pounds of muscle they now have....and tell everyone who will listen "i stay lean now in the offseason and find i can make quality gains that way.....i once got fat and i wont do that again" i agree that you need to gain some fat to gain as much muscle possible but throwing caution to the wind is a stupid thing to do.thats what put the freaking size on you!!!!!!! Try to make a 20-30 pound jump in muscle mass again at 8%!!!!! You wont! i agree here!
ok thats enough of my rant today.
Does it have to be done exactly like that guy? Nope....but i love people who got the balls to go after it with the eye on the prize....i hope that guy comes in looking like a monster again ..... Its just really fun for me to watch guys like that who dont have their ego wrapped up in a skintight slinky t-shirt year round.
I'm all for what anyone likes to do in this sport....you want to be lean guy year round and look great pulling off your shirt at the beach? Go for it...you have my respect....just dont put down someone else that has different goals than you do.
You want to be big bloated powerbuilding guy who puts on alot of muscle from year to year? Go for it....just dont put down lean guy who has abs year round above......you got your thing, he has his.
But i personally love guys like this who take the bullet train to point b from point a and dont give a flying f&&k what anyone thinks about it.....i think thats awesome....more power to him. And there will be a slew of guys who say "oh thats unhealthy, oh i wouldnt do it that way, he looks like shit in the offseason, etc etc etc"......thats why i like it so much, he doesn't give a crap that he isnt a prettyboy offseason and has his eye on the prize..........have you gone from a small heavy to big heavyweight to superheavyweight in 3 years?
His first year below as a small heavy (won that local show)
