[Epic1]

Yeah i those delts are insane

[mperk]

Here's a rear double bicep pose taken from the second show I entered back in june of this year. I just got the pictures in the mail. If you look close you will see veins running all across my mid/upper back! My wife had them as well but wait until you see my wifes hamstrings. I wish I had her legs.

Way to go Ronnie! that pic is awsome - how bout a link to some of the other pics? Thanks for the motivation & inspiration! - (Today is my 50th bday!!!!)

Extreme props for the achievement!

[Ronnie Rowland]

Taken a few week out before my show last summer. I can no longer do deadlifts or any form of lower back work due to a back injury I sustained outside the gym. If you look closely you can see the scar on my lower back where I had several surgeries to try and correct the problem.

looking really good in that pic ronnie

[Ronnie Rowland]

I'm currently bulking up so my wife painted me up as "THE HULK." We just got back from a Halloween party. I lost some of my paint somewhere..lol

[mperk]

Hahahaha - damn - not many guys can pull off the Hulk without looking like Bill Bixby! Got to post a pic of the front too, you know.... Nice work dude. The non painted back shot is awsome. How long ago was the back injury?

[xnotoriousx]

You're looking very very thick ronnie... The hulk suits you well.

Back injury occured while racing motorcross over 20 years ago. I was ran over by another bike and had 3 disk removed and my spine fused. I would be bigger, especially in the lower body if I had no limitations. However, I feel it's made me a better trainer regarding the mind muscle link.

For those of you with bikes please be careful!

One word... Swole.

it be the slingshot system bro...

[Okinawa_Power]

Big Ron you look great!!! Arms are ****ing huge!!!!!!

[RyanAlmighty]

Of course my before and after photos are real!!!

Here are my transformation pictures using the Slingshot Training System.

Pic 1) I had not trained in a couple of years due to having surgeries. Picture was taken at age 32. I know it was sad...LOL..

Pic 2) Taken at age 39 for local newpaper. I had just got back into training after having been off for 6 months from a bicep tendon repair surgery. I popped my tendon experimenting with rest-pause training (never again)!!!

Pic 3 ) Taken after my bicep tendon surgery (OUCH)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pic 4) Taken at age 41 during an off-season bulking phase.

Nice transformation slideshow...just curious, how much and what (if any) gear did you do over this time period along with the slingshot routine? I mean cause let's be honest...you didnt get from A to B without some kind of steriod use...

My arms are holding around 20 inches but they will drop some as body fat lowers. I THINK I AM HOOKED ON POWER-RADE ZERO..LOL

[Coca Cola]

Looking MASSIVE Ronnie!! How did you get so vascular like that? Is it genetic or enhanced with something like EQ? What's your current body fat percentage?

[vishus]

damn, i hope to look that big when im ur age :P

[F4iGuy]

I want veins like that over my quads.

Thanks for the compliment! It's genetics and hard training (time under tension) using impeccable form over weight that's mostly made me more vascular. I do not like EQ but TEST/TREN can certainly help. Not sure about body fat as I go by the mirror instead of calipers.

[Ronnie Rowland]

It certainly gets more difficult as you age but hang in there and keep pounding away. Consistency is key. I wish I had done back in my 20's what I am doing now. My arms once hit 22 inches pumped in the offseason at age 32 when I first started test. Slingshot Training has really helped me make progress (even at age 44). It's not always easy but very effective if you stick to it.

[Ronnie Rowland]

You know, my legs use to be one of my strong points in terms of size but the nerve damage has caused major atrophy. The vascularity is still there and the size is coming back some so I will kep pounding away this off-season and see how it goes.

I'll keep that in mind!

In case you have not seen my wifes progression pics heres a link-http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=361620

Now let me add some new pics of her just taken 5 weeks out from our show. My wife Kathy Rowland is now 47 years old and quite a mesomorph. Take a close look at her thick neck and the huge garden hose veins (This gives it away!) She's every bit as strong as she looks and then some.

Okay let me post some of her pics I just took at our home.

[Ronnie Rowland]

Another 5 week out pic.

[Ronnie Rowland]

Look closely and you can see veins running throughout her entire back!
