At 5’6 and almost 250 I think I hit my off-season limit without dying 🤔

Flame on

Looking forward to see you cut down to this physique again, Coach!

No flaming here Coach!

Time now to get ripped and shredded!

whens the show Coach?

IroNat · « **Reply #4 on:** January 07, 2020, 04:00:00 AM »

I'm amazed you can carry all that weight.

Any uncomfortable physical issues at 250?

Snoring, sleep apnea, thigh chafing, sleeping with a pillow between your arms, etc?

Looking huge, that’s some serious size for 5’6.

at 66 inches tall , is that your all time bulking weight ?

250 at 5’6, close to 60 yrs old is asking for it

I fear for your health more than ever

That's decent weight at 5,6.... Especially at that age.

You must be feeling like shit?

Love you Coach and you're a very skilled bodybuilder & trainer, but forget about all that size man. At this point in life, I think it might be wiser to concentrate on optimizing overall heart health. The bodybuilding lifestyle is addictive, so I understand how hard it can be to break the cycle of "bloat-train-steroids-build muscle-diet-contest-rinse/repeat", but as we get older, our bodies are less capable of putting up with all the physiological stress you are subjecting it to.

Lean out brother. Get down to a healthy 170-175. You will look great and your heart will thank you.

Not smart. Drop the size if you care about your health

IroNat · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2020, 06:28:21 AM »

On the other hand...go for 280.

It must be rough. I am 53, 5'8 and can't even handle 200 any more.

That's hardcore. I think its awesome to achieve your goal. Very impressive look.
It is bodybuilding after all not cross fit.
Hick ups still bothering you?

I think if you prep properly you'll start looking amazing soon but watch your health. Life is much, much easier when you're light.

You don‘t get to call yourself a bodybuilder if you‘re not willing to die for us!

Kwon · « **Reply #21 on:** January 07, 2020, 09:36:38 AM »

Please dont die for us Joe.

We are barely holding on!

Get down to 165 and shredded!

I’ll start dropping this week until the Feb 15 where i should be down to about 235. It’s at that point where I start my real prep and personally cannot wait. Admittedly at this weight it’s no fun.
