What's your girlfriend doing on my bed? ;D
Is she a whoorah?

With your tongue sticking out, you remind me of one of the Bushwackers from the WWF back in the day. 

I have a feeling you are hoping for another 100 page thread dedicated to your destruction like what happened a year ago.  I shall whatch the downward spiral with glee.  You love the attention.

The eyebrows.  OHH THE EYEBROWS.  THEY HAUNT ME.

It looks like Arvilla have been training good in the last few months. Looks better than he did in the past, improving IMO.

If this picture is Cheri Lane, then I must say that her previous pic didn't do her much justice. She's cute. Looked a bit scorned in the previous pic.

Mike yes you are pretty big guy, but you have absolutley no shape.You big in alot of areas, but your also blocky, and have narrow shoulders.Bodybuilding is about size, and symtery, not just having 19 1/2 arm.Yes your arms are almost 20" but they are log arms, they dont peak or seperate.I think if you worked more on shaping your body you would look even bigger then you are now.You have a great foundation, now all you have to do is mold it .Bodybuilding is an illusion, why do you think Dexter can hang with chris who is 40 lbs heavier on stage then him?Because he created an illusion by shaping his body to look bigger then it really is.
You told me people to show no mercy, so this is my opinon.I am a nationa level athlete who is a super haevyweight. I get up to 285-290 off season then come in at 258lbs .So I am not some pimple faced punk hiding behind a computer screen talking shit trying to antagonise people

He has no shape because he's fat, genetics are not good either.  He thinks he's Arnold or something, when he's 25% body fat.

As for me, I do plan on posting pictures.  I'm not scared at all.   I just need a camera to use.  In fact I posted pictures on flexonline when I was only 17 and had been training for just 1 year.  I got approval from most of the members, and the rest were people that I had made fun of before and didn't want to compliment me.

Mike your shoulder are broad, by nature because your a big guy, you just need to isolate them to make them appear more round.Its seems like your arms over power your delts, so I would do behind the kneck presses, and more front presses.I would aos islte my rear delts by using cables, to realy bring them out.
240 Or bust I am big and have decent shape, no im not Flex wheeler but my waste is 32, and my chest is around 55" dieted down .So I am not a v taper, but im no Art Atwood either.This year I am doing the Mr USA again and I am going to have better shape.I am going to isolate things more, and really concentrate, on my symmetery.I only started using gear almost 4 years ago, so I am still learning what works for me and what doesnt.I qualified for the USA  when I was natural so the whole anabolic thing is new to me.Plus I use a little as possilbe, because I thing 90% of these guys are out of there mind , plus I have alot to live for.I start my diet on May 9, and from there its balls to the wall for the next 12 weeks

I'll post pics soon enough, but only for the respectable members, not because you tools are calling me out...   I'll use a disposable camera and put them on a cd.

I'm not gonna be stupid enough to post a picture of my face like you retards...  (cheri, i would really appreciate if you stopped posting pics of you puffy face)

In the meantime, keep calling me "chicken" or pussy all you want.  doesn't bother me.   

Arvilla last night I did 6 chin ups with a 45lb and a 25 plate (70lbs) attached... 

Can you even do 3 reps with your bodyweight????  lolol, I would be surprised if you could do 3, fat boy.

I havent had a job in a few months but I just got one.  So you are right, I have little spending money so I'm not gonna spend any until I get my first paycheck.

As far as my "puffy face" pics.  Stop following me around from thread to thread looking for them.

Mike since you taught middle school, I bet you could be a good teacher for all these adolesent idiots on this board.I never heard so many shit talking hide behind the computer heros in my life.Everybody on here talks as if they are huge and tough, yet most of them are probably 175 lbs, work out in there base and still live with there mother, at 30 years old.
Absent why do you have a pic of a 1AD  bottle on your posts?1AD is garbage, its only 100mg, there are alot stronger prohormones them 1AD .Methyl TEST WAS 10 TIMES STRONGER THEN 1AD will ever be.As a matter of fact 1AD is 3 years old technology , so if your going to use prohormones atleast use ones that are the most effective.Bragging about 1AD is like bragging about liquid creatine, or even effervesent creatine, they are both old news.

Wow, it looks like the Arvilla thread has been resurrected!!!  For all you new comers, Arvilla had a thread similar to this one that went on for over 100 pages.  It was pure unadulterated humor.  For those that missed it, here is a recap:

About a year or so ago, Arvilla posted his pics for all to comment on.  As you might imagine, some feedback was good and some not so good. 

People from other boards revealed that Arvilla had posted his pics elsewhere and had been called out for lying about his weight & measurements (proof was provided with links).

Arvilla responded by basically giving his middle finger to everyone at GetBig.  This of course resulted in page after page of dozens of Get Biggers roasting Arvilla (great stuff).  Arvilla resorted to making up fake accounts to give himself support.  Again, he was called out on it  :-[  He then called his friend, the now infamous Grace Alexis to give him support.  The basement dwelling GetBig resident, VP, recently exposed Grace as a trany! :-X

Eventually, someone challenged Arvilla to a virtual pose down where GetBiggers would decide who had the better physique.  Arvilla lost (big surprise).  This was at about page 50!

Somewhere along the way, Mindspin joined in the thread and for 20-30 pages royally pwned Arvilla to full meltdown mode.  During these banter sessions, C’Queen pointed out that Arvilla waxed his eyebrows and someone (Avenger?) hacked into Arvilla’s e-mail account.  This exposed that he was in fact not the “player/night club owner” he claimed to be, but was a broke bouncer, jacked up on gear, living in a trailer park sponging off his family ;D     

Arvilla was so infuriated that he threatened to hunt down Mindspin and anyone else that “fucked” with him.  Mindspin pussied out and shortly thereafter the thread was deleted  :'(

Now it seems Arvilla is back for more.  This time he has a new supporter, Cheri Lane.  Would not be surprised if like Grace, she too turns out to be a dude  :-\

Welcome back Mike!!!

LOL, i have 17 inch arms at 5' 6"  which is Big...  18" offseason.

I have military pressed 90lbs dumbbells for 7 reps,  no shoulders?

Legs are lagging because I tore my acl/mcl in my knee.

I'm not Flexing at all.  I didn't know anyone was taking a picture either.... 

I didn't realize shaking hands without flexing a muscle was a bodybuilding pose.     LOL

Wait for a picture of me without a shirt before you judge me as a bodybuilder.  You guys are too funny.

Should You Have the HIV Test?
 This booklet talks about testing for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. If you should take the test to know if you have HIV, (sometimes called the AIDS test), answer these questions.
Have you --

had sex without knowing for sure if the person or persons you had sex with do not have HIV?
had sex with someone you know has HIV or AIDS?
had a disease passed on by sex, like genital herpes or syphilis? (Having these diseases makes it easier to get HIV.)
had sex with many men or women or had sex with someone who has had sex with many men or women?
had sex with someone who has used needles to take drugs?
shared needles or works to take drugs?
If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions, you should think about having the HIV test.

BAST ur just another internet talking fool - four years lifting and thats what u have to show for it. You should keep that big mouth shut. You have no size whatsoever - Michael destroys you completely.
Your just probably another cut pussy boy! Try looking like a bodybuilder and not like: USHER.

Sorry i posted this pic on this board - i mean i used to enjoy reading your threads and input on flexonline - i generally agreed with u and FlexB on most topics - but reading ur post on Mayhem and Getbig i realised u talk way to much shit - like you know everything.

Bottom line - that is a poor show for four years gym training - you should look big and thick regardless of wearing a top or flexing. I don't care if your a cut 150lbs !!!!!!!

Anyway - don't get mad at people flaming you - show them a good pic and shut them up then. Until then just let it go!!!!

Quite the little thread we have going here. mike arvilla, ya gotta post a pic where you're not shielding your midsection. trust me, it's hard... but only way to be completely honest with yourself and others. Plus, it shows you have the balls to put yourself out there for criticism.

anyway, he admitted he didn't train legs and his fores/biceps look decent. I'm not going to doubt on anyone until they post a pic and show the progress they claim, or be flamed mercilessly. GetBig is cool like that. If he posts pics and he's ripped and thick, Arvilla will look a punk. If he posts pic and he looks like a swimmer, Arvilla will claim the victory. All we in the peanut gallery can do is pressure them to sac up and post pics.

Enough talk, gentlemen. Arvilla, take your shirt off and do a front and back double biceps. Bast, youre in college man. Go ask one of your dormmates to snap a pic with their digi and get it online asap.   One of you needs to post something other than favorable angle or no pic, or you'll both just be known as shit talkers...

lol this is mike.....hes not even close to being in my league there 240(you of all people should know this) "ripped and thick ROTF come on now,to be a good sport ill have cheri take those pics tonite(first u wanted shirtless pics...i posted them, next you want a stomach pic?!?? umm ok will do, i draw the line if you start asking for "hog" pics tho...peace mike

come on now mike, insinuating that i'm gay at this point is kinda silly.  I got drunk and offered to nail your GF, for Gods sake, remember? This is an online pissing match and only a front double biceps tells all in situations like this.  Posting a leaning bicep pic isn't a 'shirtless' pic.  It shows off your strong points (arms and shoulders).

i haven't put anyone down besides Arvilla who everyone puts down because he's delusional.

trust me bro I'll show you some muscle, soon enough.

lol..you homo you've been saying this for 3 yrs over at Flex.  If this is all you have to show for after 3 years, you need to have your head examined.  Or your ass whipped.  Or both.  I vote for both.

I see about 50 pounds of more lean mass than what you seem to sport.  Bast you are a fraud, fool..and these cats here at GetBig now know what we've known at goheavy for a couple years now...you are nothing more than a cyber bad-ass that is built like a mechanical pencil.

I posted pictures when I was 17,  where are your pictures bates?

how I look now is like night and day,  My calories have doubled since that picture was taken!   I have gained 7-8lbs and still look hard because I went from eating just green beans for carbs to Oatmeal, potatoes, and veggies now.

You have to be a moron to critique a bodybuilder Not Flexed, With a Shirt On, and not in any pose.

I'll give you actual posing pictures to critique soon.  I'm busy writing a long assignment and studying for finals now so I really don't care to do that now.

With those stats, taht would mean you are :shock, horror:: bigger than Bast!

John my arms are covered up in the picture and I'm not flexing.    You should know better being a bodybuilder.  17" is big when you're 5' 6".

Wait until I post pics without a shirt and Flexing before you judge me.  That is really unfair, you can't be seriosly judging my body when I'm wearing clothes.

Your legs are better than mine but I tore ligaments in my knee so that's not fair.   :-\

I just hope that you don't have to experience an injury like that.  It is not a good type of pain, dude.

post surgery was a fun time as well.  ::)

I did not use my quads in my leg for 7 weeks after the surgery, no walking, or even bending my knee.   My arms actually looked bigger than my injured leg. 

I am still not back to squatting.  I am happy to leg press a weight that many here probably warm up with.  I'm not stupid enough to try and squat and reinjure my acl/mc.  You only get one set of knees.

You sure do like to talk about how soft a 5-year old's body is.  Most people would consider that pedophelia.. we're just glad you don't let litle things like the law/ethics/morals slow down your sex life.

apparently you feel anything over 5'6 and 110 is fat, so coming from you that means little.

5'6 and 205 at 16 percent isn't lean by no stretch, I'll give you that much.  But let's be real here Bast of Kent, Ohio...shit I don't need to explain myself to a kid with the physique of Takacks...well not quite as big as he is...hmm..you're just so so so tiny dude.  lol...I don't even see why you still talk smack.  You are genuinely crazy, and f'ed up in the head, without a doubt.  I feel sorry for you, bro.  No wonder bodybuilding is easy for you....you don't even do it.  You see to bodybuild you need to lift something called a weight, and eat stuff called food.  Not kick around a soccer ball all day or play with lego's which apparently you are very good at.

12 pages in just a couple of days...nice!

In all fairness to Bast, there is no way to judge him from that pic.  He could very well be diced and thick.  Even national level light-heavy weights look small in clothes when dieted down.  Bast, post the pics and let's see what you got...

Mike, you've made good improvements...keep it up. 



Yes you know what you're talking about. 

That pic was taken when I was eating vegetables only for carbs, the last few weeks of dieting so obviously I was Flat.  I will post pics this weekend.   I'm up 6-7lbs just from adding oatmeal, potatoes, and some fruit to my diet, I'm gradually increasing my calories.

Well I'm sure my measurements were all less during those few weeks of carb depletion.  Muscles will get smaller and look flat without carbs (glycogen).  So you're right my arms were most likely not 17" that day flexed as well as other measurements.

This has definitely turned into an intersting thread.

MindSpin, you have to understand where all this "hate" is coming from.  Our lovely "friend" Bast1 has been ribbing on all without showing a single pic of himself (of which he constantly praises).  At least all those who have posted pics (myself included)have done so with the knowledge they are open for "comment".  Bast is a chicken-shit.  He was sought out and put out.  It was ... his own demise, if you will.

 ???

He came on strong the last month, bragging he was down to 6% BF, and dumping all over arvilla. Then he got on me for diet- said I had to get down to 1200 cal a day, and got snappy when I asked him to back it up with reason. Also he threatened someone's kids on another board :(

So anyway, his pic came out and it appeared he was not the mass monster he claimed (and no leg training!). Everyone teased him, so he promised his pics would be up this weekend. Then he deleted his account and disappeared.  His excuse of 'Carb-Depleted' shall live forever tho.

ok, so what part did i miss about "show no mercy...critique my pics".  Show no mercy and critique me unless you plan to say something harsh? hmmmmmmmmm.  not knocking the physique though, more size than i've got, and losing fat is sure as fuck easier than gaining muscle.

The new do is an improvement.  Delts are awesome.  Arms are good.  Pecs need work.  There is actually a semblance of decent abs under the mid-section blubber.

My advice: cut the carbs for six weeks & add 30 minutes on the step-mill 5x week on an empty stomach.  Expected results: visible abs, more defined pecs, shapelier looking arms/delts...

Yem, I was thinking the same thing.  Arms and delts overpower the pecs -- but that can be worked on easily.  Maybe too much flat benching??   

As far as diet -- cut the carbs and hit the cardio.  But, you have a nice base to work with.

Hey Mike, I dont mean to tell you how to suck eggs here, but starting the week with arms??

IMO, if you blast arms, how can u train upper body, in your case chest the next day? Your triceps will be by definition fatigued and give out in pressing movements. Only other thing is I reckon do calves at least twice and more like 3x a week. I'd also think about throwing in some hams again on shoulder day as well.

Other than that your split looks good IMO but beleive me, Im not alone on my arm training theory. Id actually finish the week with arms and start the next week with legs just to be safe.

Suggestion:
Mon - Quads, Hams, Calves
Tue - Chest & forearms
Wed - Back & Calves
Thurs - Delts (+ hams if you have time)
Friday - Tri's, Bi's, Brac's, forearms.

If you can only train 4 days in one week, stick delts in on chest day and scrap thurs workout.

Re cardio, agree with your approach -  an Aussie pro gave me the idea of adding 20-30min of cardio at the end a workout and Ive found it to be very effective, mostly because training more than once a day is impracticle if you have a job! Also, doing bike after training legs will speed up recovery time.

But you've made some good progress of late, so congrats.

Hey Mike, I dont mean to tell you how to suck eggs here, but starting the week with arms??

Mike's arms are his best bodypart.
I bet if ya started the week with chest, when youre freshest, then your chest would improve fast. When I train arms, the biceps and triceps are sore the next day. I couldn't dream of doing chest the day AFTER triceps.  Just my opinion.

Also, you do shoulders the day BEFORE back-- and your shoulders are 2 years ahead of your back in development. Aren't your shoulders sore as you try to do thngs like rows the next day?

IMO your arms and shoulders are your best bodyparts because you do them fresh. If you had chest day and leg day, right after rest days, I bet they'd grow fast. Once your chest gets up to par and you drop another 10 pounds, you will have one of the better physiques here. -240

that's a good split.

also if you like hitting arms twice (who doesnt!?), you still can. Just do Chest AND tris and fores on tuesday, and Back AND biceps on wed.  then arms on friday too.

Or, do that, and move quad day to friday so you have the weekend to limp. This lets you do chest/tris on monday, back/bicseps on tue, shoulders on wed, arms on thurs, and legs on friday. I love this split. Given to me via email by John Defendis, a former Mr USA and personal trainer in palm beach. knew his stuff.

Funny you should mention John Defendis rob....i trained at his gym (world gym) it was only 5 mins from where i was living, nice guy came over to me asked if i wanted to compete,gave me a leg training routine(was that a hint lol)  wrote it out in his office, took him like 20 mins to write it out and explain it to me....he didnt have to do that

As you stated, Mike's arms are his best bodypart so I dont think he should train them more than his other bodyparts for now given that its balance that he mostly needs.

Good luck with the split Mike. Also, re chest, if you've been relying on benching, maybe try starting with heavy flyes and pullovers and finishing with a pressing action for a while and see how you respond. Also, your delts look very strong, so if you are relying on heavy benching then maybe your delts are doing a lot of the work. My chest went from being my worst bodypart as a teen to my best bodypart now when I was shown how to do pullovers properly - had a huge breakthrough after months of getting nowhere.

Also, since I started doing flyes as Arnold advocates doing them Ive gotten much better results - here is a good description here:

EXERCISE 3: Flat Dumbbell Flyes

"Here is a great exercise to shape up the outer sections of the pectorals and that, when performed correctly, also opens up the rib box and helps to deepen the chest." A master of technique, Arnold perfected this difficult movement as no one else ever had. He often described the motion of the flye as "hugging a tree." Lying back on a flat bench, with arms slightly bent, he would take a huge breath and slowly lower

the dumbbells out and away from his torso, so low that they would practically touch-the floor. Then, with a mighty exhalation, he would raise them back through the same arc, all the time squeezing his pecs. What set Arnold's technique apart from that of nearly everyone else was his form at the top of the movement. As the tension on his pecs would begin to decrease near the movement's end, he would stop his motion, with the dumbbells remaining 10-12" apart. He realized that anything beyond that was wasted movement having no impact on his pecs. Nevertheless, by employing the Weider Peak Contraction Tr aining Principle, he would forcibly contract this pecs at this point before lowering the weights again. He would start with 65-pound dumbbells for, 15 reps, then jump to 75s for 12, followed by three sets of 10 with 85s. Each set of flyes would be superset with barbell rows.....
(A lot of good information in your last couple of posts Mcrackhead .........i appreciate it)_

Np's Mike.

Also, word of warning re the flyes using Arnolds form - I dont know what weight you currently use for flyes but you will probably find the weight needs to be cut by up to half initially and then built up, but the good news is I bet you grow from the word go even with the lighter weight.

My heaviest set using this form is still only 65lb DB's.....Ive seen footage or Arnold using 110lb'ers for 12 strict reps - no wonder he had the best chest ever. He also attributes these flyes to curing Franco of his lagging chest in his first book.

wanna hear something fucked .... i could never press more than 100lb dumbells .... but i could easily crank out 10 reps incline flys with 75's or 80's (which is not far off from my incline press).

i dont know why this is .... and i was doing very strict flys with that weight (ie arms slightly bent but the angle doesnt change throughtout the movement and all the way down at the bottom) ..... coinsidently, all my presses with dumbells are done as fly presses(which is how most people do their flies)

100lb db'ls are nothing to sneeze at....most juicers I know dont go much over 120's - esp when they're off cycle.

Re the inclines, sounds like you maybe have strong front delts, or I think a lot of it comes down to skeletal structure which plays a big part in the leverage of any movement. Personally Im so bad at incline db presses that I dont even bother with them, but can use 3 plates a side for12 on incline barbell press...go figure....

Also - I know what you mean re fly presses. I used to do this type of action but got talked out of it by a pro. He said go super heavy for ur first excercise, eg flat DB or BB press, dont worry too much about form, just get em up. The following excercises like flyes and pullovers use good form.

This approach works really well (for me).
Title: Re: The Making of The Long Road to Compete 2005 -2007
Post by: vikingpower on May 25, 2005, 05:15:06 PM
youre right about the delts .... even with flys (done strict) they always do all the work. i also have pretty strong bis so that helps keep my arms straighter. i get so frustrated with presses cause i have a bum shoulder and i know i should be doing alot more .... compared to any other movements they are ridiculously weak for me.

the plus size is in terms of bodymechanics delts are alot more useful than pecks IMO... so even though i have no pecks what so ever im not too worried + wide shoulders make me look like i weigh alot more than i do when im dressed ::)


ps 3 plates for 12 is elite .... too bad youre a fag ;D
Title: Re: The Making of The Long Road to Compete 2005 -2007
Post by: McCrackheads Back on May 25, 2005, 09:51:47 PM
Seriously - try pullovers with your shoulders rolled back and your rib cage up. Make sure you squeeze your pecs at the top of the movement.

You shouldnt use your delts at all in this excercise and it will help isolate your pecs so that you can use them more for pressing movements. I have EXACTLY the same problem in that if Im not careful delts will kick in when Im doing chest or tricep work so Ive had to work out a way to stop them kicking in during an excercise. And once the delts gets pumped its all over - becomes a delt workout whether I like it or not....

bump ......to show Ethiopians what words like "thickness", density","muscularity"look like, and to show what 270 lbs of muscle looks like (as compared to 170 lbs lol)

lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

270 pounds of muscle huh?!?! whats all that shit covering your abs and tits? seriously, you look alright for your age but don't let that shit go to your head. you would have to lose more than 30 pounds to be "ripped".

No not my car -- but a friend of mine's.  I know nothing about cars actually -- other that I have a fondness for muscle cars.  Pretty sure he put a Hemi in there of some sort.

Actually, I am pretty sure it is a 71' charger and one of four that he and his brother own.

BTW -- they are both MassHoles.  Must be something about the water.   8)

lol! a hemi charger.........sweet! ( do you believe chrysler offered the color "pink pather pink" as an option), my friend had a 1970 R/T  charger 440 sixpack....it was bright pink.....  strange but very fast( slicks and wheelie bars on it, we all raced at an industrial park that we had marked off as exactly a quarter mile, on a good nite there would be a 100 people up there watching us race, cars would be trailered in from outta town all for bragging rights over who had the fastest car, sometimes the cops would even show up to watch....

The guy I know has a Charger in this puke looking green.  He bought the car because the color was used on a very low production.

This guy has more $$$$$ than he knows what to do with & has a love for muscle cars.

The 67 Chevelle, to me, has nicer lines than the 68 & 69 which are still awesome cars.

Was your 70 Chevelle original?

I went back & realized you said "you like the 70 SS"....

ooops  ;D

The 427 IMO is a much better engine than the 454.

With what that guy had under the hood.....i wouldn't feel bad by getting beat.

i think Mike and Cheri have the biggest case of denial i've ever seen, a middle aged couple who live in a trailer park, the guy dabbles with the iron who does what every middle aged white guy does to get an edge and a hardcore image, he shaves his head, grows a goatee, gets a bunch of tattoos, scores a bottle of mexican test, turns purple, hits a few most musculars in his living room while screaming at the camera while the bored Mrs. looks on in "awe", congratulations dude you are officially a tool.

" Shinedown burning bright "


I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider, my hesitation

(Chorus)
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now I'll express, my situation

(Chorus) (X2)
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines its not easy to define
I'm born to indecision
There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose
With no particular rhyme or reason

(Chorus) (X2)
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

I feel like there is no need for conversation

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro' my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

yeah, i have made about as many posts as you have made threads. i know you guys think you are something special and you can't deny that but i personally think this shit is gay. all these cute poses of a guy who claimed to be this bad mofo the past 2 years. whatever, i have said MANY positive and nice things to other members on this board so maybe you should pay attention and i give out alot of free advice to newbies and people stuck in a rut. 240 and mike are the only two guys i rag on because i'm tired of seeing mikes gyno on my screen and yes mike has made some improvements using steriods and he still looks like a bloated roid monkey. nothing personal i promise, this shit is just getting old.

mike - abs? i see an "ab" and almost a clear outline of your ab "region" but you are up there with 240 in the picture department, just stop until you have ABs. this is a bodybuilding board, you don't look anything close to a "good" body builder in my opinion. but i also realize this is a free board to post what you like and get feed back from members like myself whom have been doing this shit for a while. my problem is EVERY THREAD YOU TWO POST IN HAS THESE STUPID PICTURES THAT WE HAVE ALL SEEN 25 TIMES!!! i have no problem with you posting pics in a thread or two but you are becoming worse than 240 and he has done good lately and is making progress. you are a big dude with large arms but you have many weaknesses that you need to work on before you think you are hot shit.

He should just stay a huge guy around 300 pounds.. The smaller he gets the more weaknesses become apparent.. Either from past injuries or poor genetics.

Are you any happier getting leaner?  Or are you doing it to "get back" at the people on this site that called you fat?  :P

only weaknesses are a bad case of gyno and sub-par calves (we all dont want to look like Abercrombe and Fitch models like yourself) for you to get up to 270 lbs in any decent kind of shape would most likely be impossible or take you 20 years .....

Who was talking about me here?  Last I checked this is "Show No Mercy... Critique My pics".. So I was.

You have a blocky/bloated waist, which takes away any v-taper you could possibly have.

The gyno is bad, yes... But there isn't much of a chest behind it.

And if you want to talk "size" my arms are only around an inch smaller than yours, and well my waist is probably a good 7"'s smaller and I weigh a good deal less than you...

Plus you have very little detail in any of your bodyparts (as shown in that side tricep).  So yes, you are a big guy.. Great for you, goal accomplished.  Whether it looks "good" or not, is a matter of perspective.

dont take this the wrong way mike, but i have to agree with an123... at 6'2 i cant picture you having a "bb" type body cause generally speaking, height tends to amplify any structural problems you happen to have ... in your case: laggin chest, tris and calves (dont feel bad, i have the exact same problem) .... now to be fair i do not agree about your waiste ... i think your abs are looking respectable in your BIG avatar pic (::)) and because you have a wide clavical and huge delts(which is an offshoot of a poor chest) your taper is good and will only get better as you get leaner.

even thouugh youll never be a pro, that doesnt mean you cant look better than 95% of the population if you stick with the diet and cut the gyno out.

i told you this last year and ill say it again .... strongman bro !!!
lol points taken (im not a fool i know where my weaknesses and strong points are) that being said im only 6 ft and a half (i had laura measure me i had assumed i was 6 ft 2 from what others always told me) i wasnt aware that my triceps are lagging however

attention whores maybe, i just think you guys are lonely and need attention.

We are something special Overload.  Everyone is...unfortunately even you are.   ;)

Lonely??  LMAO  absolutely not.  In need of attention??  Nope.  I actually don't like to be the center of attention.  Michael is proud of me, that is why he posts my pics.  I am happy to know that he would rather show me off than hide me.  Michael posts himself (and I am saying this yet again) for the fun of the comments of the board.  We know they strike controversy.  What you don't know or care to think about is that he actually sticks to a strict diet (he always teases me when I cheat..he does not) and spends at least 2 hours a day in the gym pushing some serious weight.  He trains hard and has for as long as I've known him (8 years) and longer.  I give him props and support whenever I can because I see the dedication and sacrifices he maintains to this sport.

Damn Cheri, you tell em.  I wish I had girl like you in my corner.  You two make a great couple.  I can tell you have a great relationship.  Built on trust and understanding.  You know how to have fun and I always enjoy reading each of your posts.  Peace.

yeah, i have made about as many posts as you have made threads. i know you guys think you are something special and you can't deny that but i personally think this shit is gay. all these cute poses of a guy who claimed to be this bad mofo the past 2 years. whatever, i have said MANY positive and nice things to other members on this board so maybe you should pay attention and i give out alot of free advice to newbies and people stuck in a rut. 240 and mike are the only two guys i rag on because i'm tired of seeing mikes gyno on my screen and yes mike has made some improvements using steriods and he still looks like a bloated roid monkey. nothing personal i promise, this shit is just getting old.

mike - abs? i see an "ab" and almost a clear outline of your ab "region" but you are up there with 240 in the picture department, just stop until you have ABs. this is a bodybuilding board, you don't look anything close to a "good" body builder in my opinion. but i also realize this is a free board to post what you like and get feed back from members like myself whom have been doing this shit for a while. my problem is EVERY THREAD YOU TWO POST IN HAS THESE STUPID PICTURES THAT WE HAVE ALL SEEN 25 TIMES!!! i have no problem with you posting pics in a thread or two but you are becoming worse than 240 and he has done good lately and is making progress. you are a big dude with large arms but you have many weaknesses that you need to work on before you think you are hot shit.

attention whores maybe, i just think you guys are lonely and need attention.

My grip gives out before my lats/back muscles do (here even on 225 i use straps, just go for the reps,squeeze the shit outta it, if i didnt use straps my grip would give out ending the set before its time)

I agree 100%

I am just saying......at your size & strength....no matter how many reps you do with 225....you shouldn't need straps.  Work on the grip brotha.  The stronger your grip strength, the stronger & bigger you become.

BTW....I love the belt.  "Arvilla"

Dear Michael,

  Ron is referring to YOU (in part) in the below explanation of the signature line shortening.   You have taken my brilliant discovery and abused it therefore taking it away from the rest of us.  Considering how many pictures (all looking the same for the most part  :-\ and getting tiresome, but whatever) you pic post whore, your big signature one is not necessary.    >:(

 
The abuse of the signature line prompted it to be shorted. Certain people decided it would be cool to have huge pictures on their signature lines, or use profanity laced long ass statements. It is now solved. When the abuse stops, the signature line will go back to normal.


   Sincerely,

  ~flower~    discoverer of the tinyurl signature pic

mike asked for criticism didn't he? in all honesty, delts do over power chest, arms over power legs. good arm, shoulder and back development. i'd say calves, chest and quads need the most work. i doubt you will ever be on any stage but you asked and you got your replies. face it, you ain't nuthin but a peanut!!!

No thanks cheri, LOL!

I can't dance or sing. :'(

But that pic looked very, very gay.

I was, in my own twisted way, being helpful by pointing out the obvious and saving him from posing in that manner again.

Mike obviously needs that advice as it's clear you enjoy/encourage his self-humiliation with much happiness, LOL! Otherwise, there'll be a forthcoming pic of Mike in a schoolgirl outfit. None of us have any desire to see that, LOL!

And to think people say I have a mean streak... :)

Mike, you looked more happy than bored, LOL!

Keep pounding away and present the best package possible. The same part of my chest (lower outside pecs) was weak and decline bench presses really helped a lot. Aside from that you look fine and have big balls for posting and taking criticism without getting all pissy.

You and Cheri be well. Just don't let her dress you anymore. :) It still looks like there's a mean streak in that girl, LOL! Who did that song anyways?

No Mike.....what did I tell you a long time ago?

remember?

I said you look bigger & better when you are in a "relaxed" state.

For some reason, when you pose, it doesn't make you look as big.

do you work them seperately?  forearms go deep with the burn, they can ruin you for a day or two if you do them right.
  I'm ashamed to say i dont work them much at all (a few wrist curls every now and then) got a good routine??? ill try it

Post by: Double XL™ on August 23, 2005, 08:54:10 PM
heavy wrist curls 10-12 reps, lighter weight WC's 50-100 reps go for a intense burn, i think high reps are good for forearms cause most people get big forearms from work outside the gym like if theyre a cook and they kneed dough alot or any job like that you usually see they got good size on em...reverse bicep curls, an dont use straps on back day until your grip gives out, if your grip is weak get it stronger so you wont have to use them.

when you bought it....

did some guy named "Tug" size you up?

actually....a week ago I ran into a guy named "Tug" & I made him repeat his name back like 3 times because I couldn't believe it.

Then........

when I saw his friend named "gary" which was wearing a shirt that said "I'm a keeper".....

I almost died laughing

THE LEGEND OF THE SOUND FACTORY
This one has been a long time coming. Ever since I moved to NYC and set up my email account I have received hundreds of emails, approached countless times, and often bragged about the super club of New York, The Sound Factory. A day does not go by without someone asking me about SF. So, I think it’s time I told the world about this legendary place.

I met Rob Lopez around the Spring of 2000 and it was then that I was introduced to SF. I freaked out the first time I went. The place was out of control. Here was me, all dressed up with my Versace and fancy shit on when everyone else was practically naked. Thank God SF has a shop inside the club where I purchased a tank top just so I could blend in and not look like amateur night fool. This was the beginning of a ride that I will never forget. From 2000 – 2004 I earned my General stars in that club. I experienced and saw shit that could only be seen in the movies. Here is some of the things that I encountered:

36 hour non-stop sets.
Naked people walking around like it was a Sunday stroll in the park.
95 pound little club girls drinking meal replacement shakes at the bar and walking around with protein drinks in hand around the club.
85% of the people were either bodybuilders of fitness chicks.
On any given Saturday night the dress code was guys: jeans and shoes… And girls: White jeans, white sneakers, and a bra.
Dorian Yates in the middle of the dance floor breaking it down to the song: Shiny Disco Balls.
Victor Martinez leaving the club at Noon, training legs, and returning at 3:00 PM to resume partying.
Trannys, trannys, and more trannys. Some of the best looking girls at the SF were guys.
Tourists walking by the Factory entrance on their way to the Intrepid and little kids looking at people leaving the club at 4:00 PM and saying to their parents: “Daddy, what’s wrong with them?”.
Unisex bathrooms. If the stalls were occupied and the line for them was long, girls had no problem hovering over a standing stall and pissing.
Midgets sitting on the bar with horns coming out of their heads.
At the 2003 S&M Party I actually saw one of the performers nail his testicles to a 2X4. The same night I saw a couple that had a cutting fetish rip themselves open with a razor blade and draw a painting with their own blood.
Believe me the list goes on and on. Personally I was not into the weird shit, it was the music of Jonathan Peters that kept me hypnotized. That son of a bitch was and is the best House DJ in the world. The man put you in a trance in which you lost track of time and place. Unfortunately, little club kids whom I call “Crack Heads” ruined it for everyone. They would get twisted out of their minds and fall apart right in the middle of the club. X and GHB were the culprits and it was just a matter of time before ‘they’ shut the club down. I personally think that one day the we might see the SF flag draped again on the West Side but in the meantime I will end this by saying this: THERE NEVER WAS, IS, OR WILL EVER BE ANOTHER FACTORY….. PERIOD!

I became a man to this song....

She's my cherry pie,
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise.
Tastes so good, make a grown man cry,
Sweet cherry pie.

(Manly, rockstar scream comes in here)
Swingin' on the front porch,
Swingin' on the lawn.
Swingin' where we want,
Cause there ain't nobody home.
Swingin' to the left,
And swingin' to the right.
If I think about baseball,
I'll swing all night, yeah.

Swingin' in the living room,
Swingin' in the kitchen.
Most folks don't cause,
They're too busy bitchin'.
Swingin' in there cause,
She wanted me to feed her.
So I mixed up the batter,
And she licked the beater.

Prechorus:
I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her.
Don't even try cause,
You can't ignore her.
Chorus
Chorus 2:
She's my cherry pie,
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide.
Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye,
Sweet cherry pie.

Swingin' to the drums,
Swingin' to guitar.
Swingin' to the bass,
In the back of my car.
Ain't got money,
Ain't got no gas.
But we'll get where we're goin' if we,
Swing real fast.

Prechorus.
Chorus 1 and 2
(Kickass solo comes in!)

Swing it! All night long�
Swing it!
Swingin' in the bathroom,
Swingin' on the floor.
Swingin' so hard,
We forgot to lock the door.
In walks her daddy,
Standin' six foot four.
He said, You ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more!
Chorus 1 and 2
Sweet cherry pie�
Swing it!

THE LEGEND OF THE SOUND FACTORY
This one has been a long time coming. Ever since I moved to NYC and set up my email account I have received hundreds of emails, approached countless times, and often bragged about the super club of New York, The Sound Factory. A day does not go by without someone asking me about SF. So, I think it’s time I told the world about this legendary place.

I met Rob Lopez around the Spring of 2000 and it was then that I was introduced to SF. I freaked out the first time I went. The place was out of control. Here was me, all dressed up with my Versace and fancy shit on when everyone else was practically naked. Thank God SF has a shop inside the club where I purchased a tank top just so I could blend in and not look like amateur night fool. This was the beginning of a ride that I will never forget. From 2000 – 2004 I earned my General stars in that club. I experienced and saw shit that could only be seen in the movies. Here is some of the things that I encountered:

36 hour non-stop sets.
Naked people walking around like it was a Sunday stroll in the park.
95 pound little club girls drinking meal replacement shakes at the bar and walking around with protein drinks in hand around the club.
85% of the people were either bodybuilders of fitness chicks.
On any given Saturday night the dress code was guys: jeans and shoes… And girls: White jeans, white sneakers, and a bra.
Dorian Yates in the middle of the dance floor breaking it down to the song: Shiny Disco Balls.
Victor Martinez leaving the club at Noon, training legs, and returning at 3:00 PM to resume partying.
Trannys, trannys, and more trannys. Some of the best looking girls at the SF were guys.
Tourists walking by the Factory entrance on their way to the Intrepid and little kids looking at people leaving the club at 4:00 PM and saying to their parents: “Daddy, what’s wrong with them?”.
Unisex bathrooms. If the stalls were occupied and the line for them was long, girls had no problem hovering over a standing stall and pissing.
Midgets sitting on the bar with horns coming out of their heads.
At the 2003 S&M Party I actually saw one of the performers nail his testicles to a 2X4. The same night I saw a couple that had a cutting fetish rip themselves open with a razor blade and draw a painting with their own blood.
Believe me the list goes on and on. Personally I was not into the weird shit, it was the music of Jonathan Peters that kept me hypnotized. That son of a bitch was and is the best House DJ in the world. The man put you in a trance in which you lost track of time and place. Unfortunately, little club kids whom I call “Crack Heads” ruined it for everyone. They would get twisted out of their minds and fall apart right in the middle of the club. X and GHB were the culprits and it was just a matter of time before ‘they’ shut the club down. I personally think that one day the we might see the SF flag draped again on the West Side but in the meantime I will end this by saying this: THERE NEVER WAS, IS, OR WILL EVER BE ANOTHER FACTORY….. PERIOD!


The sound factory was lame; it was a bunch of ugly fucks running around trying to be cool. It was 2 years behind it's time, when everyone else was doing special k, the sound factory was just starting e. i can name 50 better clubs in nyc..

STAIND LYRICS

"So Far Away"

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
'cause i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today

these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

somebody shake me 'cause i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me

 so i guess  there isn't any short cuts eh?  You are about twice the size as I am , so what weights do you lift, for the deads and the rows.......  give me something to shoot for in the next five years or so or maybe ten.  I understand that you have been doing this for a long time and it takes alot to do something for the length of time it takes , so you're poundages aren't going to discourage me.  appreciate it.

i'm not Mike but i would think he's handling 315 for good reps on BB rows and a 140 or 150 for reps on DB rows, prolly around 500 for a few good reps on deads, work up to that and your thickness will be damn good.

thx man! ( yea i know i dont have the "lines or the pleasing shape" of a Richard Jones but i think i can build a brutally powerfull physique ala Quincy Taylor tho not in his league, im 6 ft 1 or 2" so it will take time but ill get there) and Knny.....

Mike, your physique would never be good enough for bodybuilding. 

How's your strength? 

Maybe powerlifting is your thing but you have long limbs so I doubt that too.     



& like I said on the other thread....don't give up your night job.

funny thing Mike........


I never said I didn't think you looked big.  I also give you props when deserved.

The truth, which I post, is not to demean....rather just stating an opinion. 



In my opinion you have small calves comapared to your thighs & your forearms are small compared to your upper arms.  This is because you have long limbs with a short muscle attachment.  You have a big upper torso (back/chest/shoulders) & good sized arms.  They are actually pretty big to the point where they overshadow your thighs.  You don't have a physique that looks like a competing bodybuilder rather you have a big powerful looking physique that looks like you work out hard, heavy, & serious.

Now that you're going to be a PT....would you lie to your clients?

I hope not.

Knny, what is up with you?  A sensless attack on Michael.  I am surprised.  Michael may not be a "professional" body builder, but he has worked hard to get to the size he is.  I definitely give him props in the personal training aspect.   He is a great trainer, this I know from experience.  I was 35 pound heavier and seriously not in shape (out of breath at climbing one set of stairs).  I went from a size 9-10 to a size 5 since February and must admit that my stamina has increase immensely.  I have faith that he will go far as a trainer.  He has over 20 years of experience in BB under his belt and now with the ISSA certification, there is nothing stopping him.  So quit your squawkin and give some credit where credit is due.  Otherwise...zip it.

I was just stating merely the obvious....nothing more & nothing to put Mike down.

I wish him luck & I am sure he'll do well.

I won't blow smoke up his ass & tell him that he has a future in competitive bodybuilding & don't worry, I am in no position to think that I am any better in anyway.  I know my faults & I realized years ago that  competitve bodybuilding won't be something I could have a lot of success with.  That doesn't mean I still don't train heavy & hard.  I have put more emphasis in other parts in my life where I know I have a good future with.  If Mike wants to purse bodybuilding & living a bodybuilding lifestyle.....I say go for it.  Do what you want to do & what makes you happy.

Right on Mike!  If you are doing a show in Aug., that gives you about six months.  I would spen the next 12 weeks focusing on whatever your weakest area is.  Back off somewhat on your strongest areas.  This will balance you out. 

Then, spend the next 12 weeks focusing on getting diced while holding on to muscle...easier said than done.  You'll want to be ready (burned all possible fat) 2-3 weeks before the show, which will then give you enough time to fill back out and come in tight.

One more thing, pick a show and comit to it.  Don't set a goal of "some show in August". 

This will be a fun thread!

Here is some inspiration...ha ha!

And don't be shy to show the wheels.  There'll be no place to hide come August.  So you better get used to it now.

Go for it Mike.  You know everything there is to know about posing. ::) 

JUST F*CKING LISTEN FOR ONCE!

Get a hold of someone that has done a show and knows how to do mandatories and quarter turns.  Believe me when I say this.....You have no clue how to pose and how to show your body in the best possible position.  I thought I knew how to pose cause I went to a few shows and watched a some Mr. Olympia tapes.  Boy was I wrong.  Someone took the time to run me through all the quarter turns and mandatories and it really helped me out when I was on stage.

Next idea for your "video".

Just go through some quarter turns and hold them hard for 10 seconds each.

as for hiring someone to teach Mike to pose, I say save your money and instead practice the mandatories & your posing routine while being video taped...NOT in front of the mirror.  This way you'll catch things you do wrong and be anle to correct them...
Ok maybe not hire someone, but run him through all his mandatories and quarter turns.  Maybe a NPC judge down there?  I'm sure they'd be willing to take a look at him.

2. Front Double Biceps
3. Rear Double Biceps
4. Front Lat Spread
5. Rear Lat Spread
6. Side Triceps
7. Side Chest
8. Front Abdominal & Thigh

Mike, listen to him here.  You could be the best bodybuilder on stage, but if you pose like shit, you lose.

You do follow the head judge, but there are so many tiny details in every pose, you need to learn them.  Just the slightest angle can change everything.

I remember at one of my shows we had the competitors meeting and the promoter asks if anyone had any questions or concerns.  One guy raises his hand and asks if he could get a list of what poses they would be calling during pre-judging.  There's always that one guy at the show.....sometimes two.  Don't be that guy Mike.

I think you can see what you need to work on.  Possible Suggestions (aside from cutting up): Lower traps, upper upper pecs around the clavicles, forearms, overall legs including calves, obliques and lower lats.

Post by: Freakzilla_2 on January 11, 2006, 11:12:47 PM
Front double bicep: Stop bouncing and doing all the...whatever you doing.  Hit the pose and stay there.  Don't move around alot.  Judges need to see you....not see you bouncing all over the place.  Drop your shoudlers when you hit this pose.  Your shoulders are way to high up.  It will make you look broader.

Back double bicep: Just hit the pose.  No need to put on a show.  Rotate your hands back towards the camera, and lift your chest up.  You lean to far forward and it takes away from the illusion of your back being bigger.  Lean back towards the judges.  They are looking up at you and they can't see you when you leaning forward.  You almost have to exagerrate leaning back towards the judges. 

Front lat spread:  Lift you chest up higher.

Back lat spread: Just hit the pose and stay there.  Don't hit two, three, four times.  That gets on the judges last nerve.  Also lift up your chest...yet again.  Head up also.

Side tricep:  Wow thats gonna need alot of work.  I'll get into that later.  I actually have to get to sleep.  Don't look down or look away from the judges.  Look right at them.  Smile and act comfortable.

Side chest: Stop moving around so much.

Abs and thigh: Your hands need to further back on your neck.  Don't look down.  Don't take you hands off your and do a intercotal shot.  If they want it they call for it.

And I'm spent.  I have to get to bed.

Just like Freak was getting at, you need to be able to freeze in each pose.

Also I suggest just ignore anything that you before would've taken as an insult. Just try to search each post for anything useful.

Even "haters" can give you a grain of useful feedback, if you are able to penetrate the insults, look beyond the bullshit.

I think the ability to perform a full routine, and doing it while breathing in style, is rarely seen these days.

Few BB's hold their poses long enough either. You will get cred if you're able to hold the poses good.

Arnold always finished off the day with some posing ;)...

After seeing that, you need all the help you can possibly get, Mike...

1) Stop bullshitting around and hit the pose
2) Stop looking at yourself and bouncing
3) Hold the pose
4) quarter turns, turned into 3/8ths, 9/10ths, 1/2s

You have A LOT of work to do, but give it your all, my man

 MIKES Workout
Monday - Chest
Flat Bench
135 lbs 12-15 reps (warm-up)
225 lbs 12-15 reps (warm-up)
315 lbs 10-12 reps
405 lbs 5-6 reps

Incline Dumbbell Bench
120 lbs 10 reps
150 lbs 10 reps
150 lbs 6-10 reps
For a finishing exercise, I do cable crossovers, or dumbell flyes
Tuesday - Back and Hamstrings
I always start with pull-ups as I think they are a great way to not only warm-up your entire back, but to also build thick muscles.
Pull-Ups
3 sets 10-15 reps
Reverse Grip Bent-Over Rows
225 lbs 10 reps
315 lbs 10 reps
315 lbs 10 reps
225 lbs 10 reps
Strongest Range Dead Lifts
I will normally start with 315 lbs on the bar and progress up
Pull-Downs
3 sets - as heavy as I can handle that day for 10-12 reps
As a finishing exercise, I like to use a single-arm movement such as a one-arm cable row or a Hammer machine.
Hamstrings
Stiff-Legged Dead Lifts
I will warm-up with 135 lbs and progress up to 315 for 10 reps. I prefer to work only 3 sets of this exercise, as I don't want to over train my hamstrings.
Lying Ham Curls
Keep in mind that when you work quads, you also fire the muscles of the hamstrings. It is virtually impossible to isolate your quads (other than leg extensions) when you are working out. I like to keep this movement at a high rep range, such as 10-12 reps, for a maximum of 4 sets.
Abductor Machine
I like to use this machine to strengthen my squat and leg press. The abductors act as stabilizers and by strengthening these muscles, I find my squat and leg press improves. I can lift more weight. Keep this exercise at 3 to 4 sets for 10 - 15 reps. Don't believe the hype! This isn't the toning machine that you once thought it was!
Wednesday - Day Off and a Day of Rest!
Thursday - Shoulders and Calves - "My Favorite Day"
Seated Dumbbell Presses
100 lbs 10 reps
120 lbs 10 reps
120 lbs 10 reps
100 lbs 10 reps
Side Laterals
25 lbs 10 reps
35 lbs 10 reps
50 lbs 8-10 reps
40 lbs 15-20 reps
will either do Upright Rows or Front Dumbbell Raises for 3 sets to hit the front deltoid muscle.
For the rear delt, I will perform Bent-Over Lateral Raises
Shrugs
I will start this exercise using two 45 lb plates on each side of the bar. I will add 45 lb plate to each side for each set. I will work up to 4plates on each side. I think this is one of the exercises that has contributed a great deal to my thick traps.
Calves
I prefer to do two different exercises for these muscles so I can activate the muscles in different ways. I like to use a Seated Calf Machine to perform 4 sets. I will add on as many 45 lb plates as possible and still be able to complete 10 reps. I will then move onto Standing Calve Raises or Straight-Legged Toe Extensions on the leg press and complete four sets going as heavy as I can.
Friday - Triceps and Biceps
I like to train these muscles together as I find that I have a better workout on the rest of my body parts throughout the week because your bi's and tri's get hit when training your larger muscle groups.
Push Downs I will usually perform 4 or 5 sets to really get my elbows warmed-up. My first two sets are usually light so that I can perform 15-20 reps.
Skull Crushers I will perform four sets of this exercise, increasing the weight with each set. Rep range should stay around 10-12 reps.
Behind the Neck One Arm Dumbbell Extensions This is one of my favorite exercises for triceps. I feel as though I can isolate the triceps and since each arm gets its own workout, develop strength evenly in my arms. I will use 40-50 lbs for 3 sets, 10-12 reps.
Cable Kickbacks I love these because they burn! I like to perform 3 or 4 sets using light weight for 10-12 reps.
Standing Barbell Curls I hate these, but my partners seem to love them. I will start light and work up to about 155 lbs on my 4th set.
Standing Dumbbell Curls I don't use a lot of weight on this exercise because I really want to isolate the bicep muscles. I don't believe in having to use your back to lift the weight. I will perform 3 sets of 10 reps.
Dumbbell Preacher Curl or Biceps Preacher Machine I consider this exercise to be my "finishing" movement. 3-4 sets, 10-12 reps.
Saturday - Quads
This is the day that my training partners and I go into the gym and take over the leg area; very few people dare to enter this area when we're there. The most important aspect to remember when training legs is to WARM UP! I have seen many guys go in and start squatting right off the bat; using a weight they have no right using and tear a muscle. Leg injuries take a while to recover from. Proper warm-up and stretching is essential to preventing injuries.
Leg Press This exercise is my meat and potatoes. Squatting is difficult for me as I have limited flexibility in my shoulders and have a hard time holding the bar on my back to squat. My gym has a Nebula leg press and I have found it to be one of the best pieces of equipment I have used. Not many leg presses allow you to load 1000 lbs and have a person stand on top! I prefer to keep my feet high on this exercise and close together. I'm never sure how many sets we perform. We normally start with 400 lbs on the machine and then add 100's to each side on each exercise until we reach 1000 lbs. We then lighten the load and change feet position to the lower part of the platform for a full leg press. Keeping your feet low incorporates your glute muscles and helps to build a power base. We perform 3-4 sets.
I will then move over to the Smith Machine for squats. I can squat easier using the Smith Machine because I don't have to hold the bar on my back. One of my partners just ensures that the bar is turned so it does not hook on the base. I'll start at 135 lbs and go up to 405 lbs for 10 reps unless one of my partners starts talking trash.
By this point, my legs are pretty exhausted and I will finish with leg extensions using either a drop set or single leg method, all for 10-12 reps. My partners will keep going doing hack squats, vertical leg presses or plie' squats. I find that by keeping my leg workout short and simple, my legs grow much more. Doing a lot of exercises and reps just burns my legs out and they tend to shrink.
There it is - my secret to building thick muscles. Don't get me wrong - none of this it set in stone. My training partners and I change our routine constantly. We will even change the days that we train. Lifting should be about challenging yourself and having fun. If you are in the gym and not having fun and constantly worn out, try changing things. Do nothing but a workout of squats or challenge your partner to a dead lifting contest - heck, hit an aerobics class - just do something to have fun! Remember, the key to building muscle is not about how long you are in the gym daily, but the quality of your workouts !
Good Luck and Happy Lifting!

I think your doing too many sets on the flat as you are already wide through the middle and you have a good drop on the pecs!

I would make the incline DB/BB press my sole chest workout but dont defrain from the flat/decline just do about 2-3 sets moderate weight

example:
Incline BB
set-1  12-15 (warm)
set-2  10-12 (increase 50%)
set-3  8-10  ( increase 60%)
set-4  6-8  (increase 75%)
set-5  1-3  (90% of 1RM)

Incline DB
set-1  12-15 (warm)
set-2  10-12 (increase 50%)
set-3  8-10  ( increase 60%)
set-4  6-8  (increase 75%
set-5  1-3  (90% of 1RM)

Finish W/ pec deck or bent over cables
then the next chest day hit the hammer strength incline and do 5 sets W/ crazy weight.
then do decline push-ups w/ your lady sitting on your back ( if not enough weight she can hold onto some DB)
Then kill that W/ some cables or peck deck.

Just my opinion though  :-\

I'm no expert at these kinda things but I think you need to make up your mind about the exact date and what show you wanna participate in (maybe there's video material available from previous shows so you know what to expect). Obviously you will have weak muscle groups, like everyone else, but let's say you're 6 months out from competing I don't think that's enough time to really make a significant difference for let's say a stubborn muscle group like calves, so for the most part you will probably have to do with what you got and the dieting will be the key in order to dial in and keep as much muscle mass as possible.

But you say you're allready 3 weeks into your diet? Sounds a little early, at what pace do you expect to lose weight? What amount weekly? You need to keep that in check so it doesn't go too quickly, or too slow. Try to hook up with some people "in the know".

I don't know about your previous experiences when it comes to dieting, competiting etc but maybe we can have a discussion going where people talk about the most common mistakes (by themselves, and others) so that you can try to avoid that yourself.

What else - you probably need to adjust your training as you're getting closer to the show since you won't be as strong or have as much energy, stay out of injuries, and if you're used to eat a lot it's probably gonna be a bitch mentally when you've been dieting for months.

Finally got a chance to see the posing video.

Very interesting, best advise, get some help from an experienced bodybuilder.  Being you have never done a show before, it wasn't terrible, but close. ;D

I understand that its just a video, and 8 months out, but everything freakzilla said is good advise.  You need to hit the pose and hold that fucker, sometimes very long.  Keep practicing, and you'll be fine.

By the way, once you get ripped your back will look great.

my plan is to get in shape now
(reasonable shape not ripped)
hold onto that condition (blast lagging body parts)
then get ripped as the show date closes in
i want to be full and hard.............not looking like a ripped skeleton
advice is very welcome!........................ .

Mike, you possess a frame that will look very massive when ripped. You are lucky.
My thoughts...

Train legs first.  Monday. After you've watched tv and relaxed all day sunday.  Make it your priority. I'd guess from looking at you that you have done upper body work about 3 times more than lower body in your life.   Your legs are years behind.  But your arms will keep their size when you diet, so you're in a good place.

I'd take a month off upper body and hit legs twice a week and that's it.  Your upper body joints will heal (and cutting back the ibuprofin will make your body more responsive to your AAS as a bonus!), Your CNS will recover (you've been training 10+ hours a week with no cardio? ouch! rest up for your contest run!), You'll get the upper body back in 3 weeks with muscle memory. Make Jan 15-Feb 15 LEG MONTH, and you'll be re-energized come february for your precontest run.

As far as diet/cardio- if you don't do something big and drastic in the next 3 months, you're just going to look like a leaner yet smaller version of you at the show.  SHOCK your body.  Start eating a ton of fish.  Get hooked on a new veggie.  for cardio, do something like fast bleacher climbing or fast sprints.  At your age and bodyfat, hours on the treadmill are NOT the answer.  I would advise high intensity.  If you've been training 2 hours a day, your body is already USED to low impact aerobic activity from the long weight sessions. SHOCK IT with some intense cardio. Intervals are good too.

What you're doing takes guts. If you fail, the whole internet community will never let you hear the end of it. but if you succeed, you'll gain clients for your business and be known as a guru here.

Sorry if I have been rude or too abrasive, just sharing what is in my head.  I will be following your journey.  Should be interesting!

This statement I will attack. No one w/ any sense or has had the balls to get on stage in a speedo will ever step on that persons nuts!

And I dont agree w/ a whole month off upper, but do just go through the motions... but hit your upper pecs hard like you want!!

Just stop, will you.

Mike, don't take a month off your upper body.  And don't train legs twice a week.

You advise him to train legs twice a week and do high intensity cardio.  If he does this his legs will shrink dramatically.
Keep in mind he is 8 MONTHS out.  Trim it off slow, so you can maintain most of your muscle.

Like I said before at this stage it's about keep musclemass, not increasing it.
And him dieting and giving competiting a shot doesnt make him either a laughing stock or a guru. It's just a good thing to try, I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that carries a lot of mass that are curious how they would look with a much lower bodyfat.

Mike, don't take a month off your upper body.  And don't train legs twice a week.

You advise him to train legs twice a week and do high intensity cardio.  If he does this his legs will shrink dramatically.
Keep in mind he is 8 MONTHS out.  Trim it off slow, so you can maintain most of your muscle.

shooting for the dirt, aren't you? 8 months is a hell of a long time. Spending four weeks focusing on weak area still gives you 26 weeks to focus on getting lean.  His legs are grossly overpowered by his upper body, and that can be corrected. The high intensity cardio wouldn't start yet.  However, front squats with the padded bent bar would.  He's lifting TEN TO TWELVE hours a week right now.   Keep that up and legs will just look more depleted than they already do come contest time.

MIKES Workout
Monday - Chest
Flat Bench
135 lbs 12-15 reps (warm-up)
225 lbs 12-15 reps (warm-up)
315 lbs 10-12 reps
405 lbs 5-6 reps

Incline Dumbbell Bench
120 lbs 10 reps
150 lbs 10 reps
150 lbs 6-10 reps
For a finishing exercise, I do cable crossovers, or dumbell flyes
Tuesday - Back and Hamstrings
I always start with pull-ups as I think they are a great way to not only warm-up your entire back, but to also build thick muscles.
Pull-Ups
3 sets 10-15 reps
Reverse Grip Bent-Over Rows
225 lbs 10 reps
315 lbs 10 reps
315 lbs 10 reps
225 lbs 10 reps
Strongest Range Dead Lifts
I will normally start with 315 lbs on the bar and progress up
Pull-Downs
3 sets - as heavy as I can handle that day for 10-12 reps
As a finishing exercise, I like to use a single-arm movement such as a one-arm cable row or a Hammer machine.
Hamstrings
Stiff-Legged Dead Lifts
I will warm-up with 135 lbs and progress up to 315 for 10 reps. I prefer to work only 3 sets of this exercise, as I don't want to over train my hamstrings.
Lying Ham Curls
Keep in mind that when you work quads, you also fire the muscles of the hamstrings. It is virtually impossible to isolate your quads (other than leg extensions) when you are working out. I like to keep this movement at a high rep range, such as 10-12 reps, for a maximum of 4 sets.
Abductor Machine
I like to use this machine to strengthen my squat and leg press. The abductors act as stabilizers and by strengthening these muscles, I find my squat and leg press improves. I can lift more weight. Keep this exercise at 3 to 4 sets for 10 - 15 reps. Don't believe the hype! This isn't the toning machine that you once thought it was!
Wednesday - Day Off and a Day of Rest!
Thursday - Shoulders and Calves - "My Favorite Day"
Seated Dumbbell Presses
100 lbs 10 reps
120 lbs 10 reps
120 lbs 10 reps
100 lbs 10 reps
Side Laterals
25 lbs 10 reps
35 lbs 10 reps
50 lbs 8-10 reps
40 lbs 15-20 reps
will either do Upright Rows or Front Dumbbell Raises for 3 sets to hit the front deltoid muscle.
For the rear delt, I will perform Bent-Over Lateral Raises
Shrugs
I will start this exercise using two 45 lb plates on each side of the bar. I will add 45 lb plate to each side for each set. I will work up to 4plates on each side. I think this is one of the exercises that has contributed a great deal to my thick traps.
Calves
I prefer to do two different exercises for these muscles so I can activate the muscles in different ways. I like to use a Seated Calf Machine to perform 4 sets. I will add on as many 45 lb plates as possible and still be able to complete 10 reps. I will then move onto Standing Calve Raises or Straight-Legged Toe Extensions on the leg press and complete four sets going as heavy as I can.
Friday - Triceps and Biceps
I like to train these muscles together as I find that I have a better workout on the rest of my body parts throughout the week because your bi's and tri's get hit when training your larger muscle groups.
Push Downs I will usually perform 4 or 5 sets to really get my elbows warmed-up. My first two sets are usually light so that I can perform 15-20 reps.
Skull Crushers I will perform four sets of this exercise, increasing the weight with each set. Rep range should stay around 10-12 reps.
Behind the Neck One Arm Dumbbell Extensions This is one of my favorite exercises for triceps. I feel as though I can isolate the triceps and since each arm gets its own workout, develop strength evenly in my arms. I will use 40-50 lbs for 3 sets, 10-12 reps.
Cable Kickbacks I love these because they burn! I like to perform 3 or 4 sets using light weight for 10-12 reps.
Standing Barbell Curls I hate these, but my partners seem to love them. I will start light and work up to about 155 lbs on my 4th set.
Standing Dumbbell Curls I don't use a lot of weight on this exercise because I really want to isolate the bicep muscles. I don't believe in having to use your back to lift the weight. I will perform 3 sets of 10 reps.
Dumbbell Preacher Curl or Biceps Preacher Machine I consider this exercise to be my "finishing" movement. 3-4 sets, 10-12 reps.
Saturday - Quads
This is the day that my training partners and I go into the gym and take over the leg area; very few people dare to enter this area when we're there. The most important aspect to remember when training legs is to WARM UP! I have seen many guys go in and start squatting right off the bat; using a weight they have no right using and tear a muscle. Leg injuries take a while to recover from. Proper warm-up and stretching is essential to preventing injuries.
Leg Press This exercise is my meat and potatoes. Squatting is difficult for me as I have limited flexibility in my shoulders and have a hard time holding the bar on my back to squat. My gym has a Nebula leg press and I have found it to be one of the best pieces of equipment I have used. Not many leg presses allow you to load 1000 lbs and have a person stand on top! I prefer to keep my feet high on this exercise and close together. I'm never sure how many sets we perform. We normally start with 400 lbs on the machine and then add 100's to each side on each exercise until we reach 1000 lbs. We then lighten the load and change feet position to the lower part of the platform for a full leg press. Keeping your feet low incorporates your glute muscles and helps to build a power base. We perform 3-4 sets.
I will then move over to the Smith Machine for squats. I can squat easier using the Smith Machine because I don't have to hold the bar on my back. One of my partners just ensures that the bar is turned so it does not hook on the base. I'll start at 135 lbs and go up to 405 lbs for 10 reps unless one of my partners starts talking trash.
By this point, my legs are pretty exhausted and I will finish with leg extensions using either a drop set or single leg method, all for 10-12 reps. My partners will keep going doing hack squats, vertical leg presses or plie' squats. I find that by keeping my leg workout short and simple, my legs grow much more. Doing a lot of exercises and reps just burns my legs out and they tend to shrink.
There it is - my secret to building thick muscles. Don't get me wrong - none of this it set in stone. My training partners and I change our routine constantly. We will even change the days that we train. Lifting should be about challenging yourself and having fun. If you are in the gym and not having fun and constantly worn out, try changing things. Do nothing but a workout of squats or challenge your partner to a dead lifting contest - heck, hit an aerobics class - just do something to have fun! Remember, the key to building muscle is not about how long you are in the gym daily, but the quality of your workouts !
Good Luck and Happy Lifting!

Why in the hell do you still look like shit after, what 2 years?  Your clueless, I'm not saying he can't bring his legs up some, but not enough to match his upperbody.

I diet for 16 weeks, thats 4 months.  And I am leaner than him when I start.  So if he started dieting 4 months out, that only gives him 4 months before he starts dieting.  How much fucking progress do you think a person can make in 4 months?  Not much.  Its obvious that Mikes legs are his weak point, and might always be, and now is not the time to try and fix that.

And, front squats, WTF!!  If he wants his legs to grow, from all angles, not just the front, he needs to squat, squat, squat.

Get a clue, and make some gains yourself, before you suggest anything for someone getting ready for a show.

1) Mike said he doesn't squat for medical reasons, which the front squat could possibly solve.

2) Mike asked for our thoughts. If one thing out of the 10 I said helps, then good.

3) Now is NOT the time to focus on legs? Are you crazy? Now is the ONLY time!  The man is 42 and entering his first contest. WHy diet and get stringy with those legs, when he can maybe do a bumped up cycle, super-heavy leg training, and rest his body for 4-6 weeks before spending 24 weeks dieting?

4) You are a bone rack.  Look in the mirror before getting on me.

Arvilla, I have a few things to say & hope you don't take offense because I mean well & am not hating on you bud.First I myself am an artistic type person & when I look at a physiqe I look at them w/the view point of an artist.One of the reasons I like the classic physiques like Bob Paris, Francis Benfatto, Steve Reeves etc.Now after saying this & looking at your body from the pic you posted here at the very beginning I see improvements from the other pics you've posted in other threads already.Now if I was you i'd work more on upper chest, & the outside flair of the chest area (near the armpit area).
Secondly, & like I said no hating going on here but have you got a case of gyno going on or have had it before & had it surgically removed?Your nipple area reminds/looks like you may have or have had it.I have a friend that had it surgically removed & your chest area around the nipple area reminds me of him.
Gotta admit i'm hoping you go out there & win your class & do very well.It takes balls to step on a stage in just basically your underwear & I admit I have never ever had the balls to ever even think of trying it.Wellll, maybe when younger haha but the thought left me very quickly :D.Good luck.

I hope you're taking in fish oil (6 grams) (and flax oil if desired) ~ Glutamine would not be a bad idea either (20-30 gm / day).  And GREENS!  Where are your greens????

IMO, it's too early to begin dieting this hard....


Mike, listen to him here.  You could be the best bodybuilder on stage, but if you pose like shit, you lose.

You do follow the head judge, but there are so many tiny details in every pose, you need to learn them.  Just the slightest angle can change everything.

Posing is very very fatiguing (and even moreso when you're depleted), so practice, practice, practice, to build up endurance.  Learn to hit them and hold them.  Always remember; you're posing for the judges NOT the audience ~ know exactly where the judges are.  Learn to hide your flaws and excentuate your strong points FOR THE JUDGES.

Thanks SWTYGRL.  :)  Michael is and has always been truly appreciative of all I do for him.  Yes, he can be crabby with his new diet, but he recognizes it and appologizes when/if anything seems directed at me.  Come July, the only thing I ask from him is to give it his all.  I love him to death and I am sure he will do great!

(i know i know some will say it's to much this far out,but i want to get myself in reasonable shape first then "coast" into the show)
also started ECA stack................... ......clean diet(lotta protein i want to hold onto my muscle mass while i diet)
keep the muscle lose the fat..................... .....
we will see how it goes...............it's all trial and error for me


Doing ECA while "on", and at your age is a very very bad idea.  Two people in my old gym died that way.  The slimmed down diet will be good enough.  Forget about the ECA stack.

 30 mins after every weight training session

Are you walking a  treadmill set at an incline with small progressive increases as the days go on?

That's what I'm currently doing

My main focus right now is to lose fat, not to gain muscle.  ( I have enough of that)

 no...............i increase the speed and duration/time in daily increments vs using an incline

Just a though... but what about instead of 30 min cardio you shorten it to 20 then hit the sauna for 10-15 min after? what about in the morning cardio? 20 min then 10min of sauna time?

The morning cardio is the best route to go for kick starting the metablo.

1) Mike said he doesn't squat for medical reasons, which the front squat could possibly solve.

2) Mike asked for our thoughts. If one thing out of the 10 I said helps, then good.

3) Now is NOT the time to focus on legs? Are you crazy? Now is the ONLY time!  The man is 42 and entering his first contest. WHy diet and get stringy with those legs, when he can maybe do a bumped up cycle, super-heavy leg training, and rest his body for 4-6 weeks before spending 24 weeks dieting?

4) You are a bone rack.  Look in the mirror before getting on me.

1. What makes you think Mike is gonna significantly improve his legs in a matter of weeks when he's been training legs for many years?

Mike has 24 weeks til contest day.  If Mike took 6 weeks- and only trained 4 days a week with minimal cardio- and hit quads once, hams once, and calves twice every 5 days, his body would get a much needed rest.

He's been training 120 to 150 minutes a day, 5 times a week, just weights.  His body will only become more beat up by adding tons of cardio and restricting food intake.

Can you honestly say that a 6-week rest- focusing only on leg mass and healing before a precontest drive- will not help?

Most people take 16 weeks to lose 20lbs.  You would have him lose 45lbs in 18 (24 - 6) weeks.   :-X

For the last year: He does zero cardio and drinks a gallon of gatorade a day.

Adding 30 minutes, 5 times a week + ECA + correct diet = success.

Mike will drop weight in the next 6 weeks, training less, and he'll lose a lot of water in the week before the show.  45 pounds total... that means 5 pounds in the 6 weeks, 5 pounds in the last week, and 35 pounds in the remaining 17 weeks.

17 weeks ... 35 pounds... that's 2 pounds a week. Completely reasonable.

I've posted this before.  Save it for later.  Maybe you'll find it helpful.

By: Dr. Joe Klemczewski
I could fill a book with the quotes I hear at contests from competitors who placed from second to last in their class. There are many versions, but just one quote. I'll paraphrase: "I screwed up my peak." That's it - end of quote. It's usually sandwiched in a paragraph including words like carb loading, sodium manipulation, water depletion, and it always comes right before the line, "I tried something new this time." Now, I'm talking about legitimate peaking screw-ups, of which there are many.
Why Most Fail...
The one thing I want to eliminate from your mind at the beginning of this article is to blame your body fat percentage on peaking. Some people start peak week at 14% body fat and think that by doing one neat, new little trick that they read about, they'll wake up Saturday morning looking like Frank Zane. You've seen them. The ones at 8% body fat who say, "Yeah, I was just holding a little water today." This article isn't for them. This is for people who know how to dial in on contest shape and now want to know exactly what to do in order to wake up Saturday morning and shout, "Eureka! (or 'Damn!' -if you're on the East Coast) - I did it!! I finally nailed my peak!!"
First of all, let's begin with how you should plan to enter peak week. If you still have to be concerned with losing "the last couple pounds" in the week before the show, you won't be able to peak properly. Peak week should be thought of as recovering slightly, being fresh, and focusing just on making sure the muscles are full and hard yet visible because of proper subcutaneous water elimination. Fat elimination should be over before this last week.
The next thing I want to erase from your thought process is the myth that you have to make extreme changes to manipulate your body into looking good on contest day. You've no doubt experimented with massive sodium loading and depletion, varying carb loading schemes, and endless water depletion schedules to try to be your biggest, hardest, and driest all at one time. You also have probably experienced the shock at looking at a flat, shriveled up, smooth physique (with it's mouth gaping open in terror) in the mirror six hours before prejudging. DO NOT PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING DRASTIC DURING PEAK WEEK!
Your body is constantly being monitored by your brain with thousands of chemoreceptors that are sending feedback on millions of chemical reactions happening in the body. It's how your brain manages to balance the chemical necessities for life. This vast neuro-hormonal-chemical network is brutally dynamic and always in flux. I'm not smart enough to predict and override these millions of reactions in my body to create an unnatural super-compensation effect exactly at prejudging and then maintain it all day.
Neither are you. What we can do is understand the cycles that our body goes through in directing water into muscles or outside of the muscle cells, the way our body stores carbohydrates, and how to gently massage these cycles so that we ride the right wave into the right day and predictably peak perfectly and naturally instead of trying to force a freaky, extreme response. That is a gamble you'll lose nine times out of ten.
How To Properly Peak...
When I peak a bodybuilder, I control protein, carbs, fat, sodium, water, and training. We start seven days from the show and I provide a chart that tells the athlete exactly what to do in what amounts each day for the entire week. I use these variables to control the normal cycles of water and glycogen flow in and out of the muscle tissue. We start out the week in a certain pattern and then each day the variables change in a subtle way to be able to predict and control peaking. Obviously, every bodybuilder is different in the amounts of each of the variables.
Some people have unbelievably fast metabolisms and some people are very carb-sensitive - two extreme differences which dictate different amounts of each nutrient variable and a slightly different schedule. But, the actual flow and cycle is still very similar. It is important to know and understand what to expect on each day so you know how to adjust. For this reason, even my "long-distance" clients have daily communication with me during peak week. I want to go through each of these variables and give you some physiological insight to why peaking is so elusive.
Carbing-up is the great myth started and continuing with 250-pound steroid using bodybuilders who consume huge amounts of food anyway and then take prescription diuretics to eliminate the steroid bloat. If this describes you, traditional carb depletion and loading may work. If you're body isn't an eighth grade science experiment out of control, let's stick with normal physiology. Even the hardest, leanest bodies cannot metabolize and shuttle glucose into muscle cells at a maximum rate without having some extracellular spill-over. Read that sentence again. You cannot deplete carbs and then supercompensate and expect all of the glucose and water to end up in the muscle.
"You cannot deplete carbs and then supercompensate and expect all of the glucose and water to end up in the muscle."
You'll certainly fill out, but you'll also smooth out. Some a little, and some a great deal. Yes, a lot of carbs will go into the muscle, but a little or a lot will end up outside the muscle cell with a lot of water which makes you smooth. Next time you're dieting and you're fairly lean, log some comments every day in a journal. "Woke up pretty lean. Very smooth - must have been the sodium in the chips. Very vascular. Hard as a freak'n rock!" Just write down comments on how you look in the morning. Get a Bodybuilding.com workout log, they are great! I guarantee that you'll consistently be your hardest after a couple of low-carb, high-water intake days.
You may not be your biggest because the carbs aren't as high, but the lack of extraneous carbs and water under the skin makes you very tight and you appear much bigger. Who wins the show: the big soft guy or the bone-dry striated competitor? The way I carb up my clients catches the wave of glucose and water entering the muscle on the way up, but not at the expense of smoothing out on the rebound effect of over-carbing.
Saturday & Sunday
My general carb cycle for peak week is to start at the highest point on the weekend before. I start at a slightly above "normal" level on Saturday and Sunday and schedule no training. I want this weekend to be a recovery time with a refilling of glycogen. As training starts again on Monday, I slowly drop carbs each day. It's a subtle drop, not a severe depletion.
Monday Through Wednesday
The training each day, Monday through Wednesday, with the slight drop will create a sufficient carb deficit without total depletion. Depending on the client's metabolism, I keep the carbs coming down and keep the water very high all the way through Friday.
For a very high metabolism bodybuilder, I'm not going as low on the carbs during the week, and I may start re-carbing on Friday. For carb-sensitive clients it's very important to wait until Saturday to reload. By waiting until later in the week to carb up, you eliminate the chance of glycogen and water spill over. Your body can metabolize glucose very quickly and you don't have to start three days ahead of time especially if you haven't completely bottomed out with a severe carb depletion. There are also some issues with the type of carbs you use to reload. There are some that create more subcutaneous swelling due to being food allergens. It's important to know which are the most common and how they affect you.
Water is just as misunderstood as carbs. The traditional carb and water theories have people drop their water sometimes days before the show. Nothing will flatten and smooth you out faster! You have to maintain a high water intake because your muscle tissue is around 70% water. No water, no hardness - just flat, squishy muscle tissue. The reason people typically start dropping water is because they've over-carbed so much that they're already spilling glycogen and water under the skin and think, "Oh, my gosh!! I've got to get rid of this water!!" With the carb reload as I described, you won't have that problem; you'll actually get harder and harder throughout the week.
 
REMEMBER:
Keep the water intake up and let it follow the carbs into the muscle! If you're not over-carbed, the rest of the water will be eliminated!
 
Thursday
Sodium also has to be cycled. Start with a moderate amount of sodium, up to two grams at the beginning of the week and around Thursday start dropping it slightly but don't eliminate it completely. If you do, you'll force water out of the muscle cell, you'll look flat and smooth, and you'll cramp like there's no tomorrow. You need approximately four times more sodium than potassium for your muscles to contract normally. Again, don't let the myths from the pharmaceutically dominated side of our sport lure you into doing things that aren't physiologically correct.
You don't have all those drug side-effects to combat in peaking properly. If you sodium load and/or deplete in a big way you're gambling with extreme chemical rebound effects that you can't possibly time. If you're lucky enough to stumble into a good effect, it will be short lived because you're on a pendulum swing that your body will adjust to and you'll look absolutely lousy in a very short time.
I also use specific tricks regarding fat intake and schedule very specific contest day meal strategies for the individual needs and characteristics of my clients. As I get to know their metabolic rates through the dieting process, I'm already planning their peak and everyone's a little different. These general guidelines, however, I hope will dispel some common mistakes and put you on a path to learn your body type and peak perfectly every time!!

Competition Diet
By: Joe Klemczewski
Summer is slowly fading into Fall, swimsuits are spending more time in the dresser drawer, and another bodybuilding season is winding down. Did you accomplish your physique goals to make 2003 your "best ever?" I saw many bodybuilders do just that as I have the privilege to work with clients from coast to coast. Before I can dig into their program, however, I usually get asked, "Indiana? Where's that? What's in Indiana? What do you do in Indiana?"
After I assure them that we have running water and we do more than just sit around and watch the corn grow, I start questioning them about their individual body type. I ask for body comp stats, past contest pictures, current pictures, and literally every piece of data I can pull together to help me peak them perfectly. Why? Though there are major consistencies in physiology and how I handle a client's nutrition, there is also a great deal of individuality. Now, I'm a pretty middle-of-the-road guy; I don't have a confederate flag and shotgun in the back window of a pick-up truck, but you also won't find me marching in a gay-pride parade or chaining myself to a spotted owl's tree in front of a bulldozer.
You also won't find me spending too much time at extreme ends of nutrition unless it's absolutely necessary for a client's success. Most of the time it's a rock-solid program to build and maintain muscle and well-timed subtle changes along the way to shed the body fat with precision. Each program for every client, however, is always unique based on his or her body. Your program should be just as precise. Not extreme, just precise.
Where Do You Begin?
When you decide its time to start dieting, where do you begin? If you're like me, it will be with protein. How much protein do you need to build, or more appropriately, maintain your muscle mass? For a bodybuilder, I would always start with a base of at least one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. I like to add a little buffer because of additional cardio and to guard against inadvertent catabolism due to the dieting process. I add even more if a client is an ectomorph and loses weight easily.
As that person gets closer to a contest, if he or she is on track to be ready ahead of schedule (my typical plan) then I add even more. This is the high end of protein consumption as you follow my rationale for adding more protein into the diet. For example, I have one client who is a WNBF title-holder and is currently six weeks out from a contest and meets every one of the criteria for adding protein. He is currently carrying several pounds of muscle above last year's contest weight and is consuming more than two grams of protein per pound of lean body mass! Keep in mind this is an ectomorph with a high metabolism who is already in virtual contest shape battling to maintain muscle. Not everyone would ever need or be able to even use that much protein.
Protein intake should match your requirements as a bodybuilder, but not necessarily at the expense of other important nutrients. The client I mentioned above is also consuming 250 grams of carbs per day. I haven't raised his protein exponentially at the cost of muscle-sparing, energy-building carbohydrates or fat. These two nutrients are where most of us are a little confused. Should I eat no carbs, low carbs, or moderate carbs, and what about fat? Should I eat some red meat or maybe just flaxseed oil or maybe no fat at all? I get emails all the time with questions that begin with, "I heard that..." and the email ends with, "...is that true?" Here's where you need to really pay attention.
Know Your Body
Your body type will give you a great starting point on what type of dieting is best for you. In determining whether you'll be more effective with a higher or lower carbohydrate diet you have to decide if you're an ectomorph who has a very hard time gaining weight, a mesomorph who can gain weight and has a decent muscular frame, or an endomorph who gains weight very easily. You can also characterize yourself in different degrees such as an extreme ectomorph who has a very light muscular frame and can barely gain five pounds in the offseason.
Or, maybe you're a moderate endomorph who has a lot of muscle, can gain weight easily, but also doesn't have a terrible time losing when you need to. Recall that carbohydrates are the most muscle-sparing nutrient we eat. More so than even protein, carbs will buffer against muscle loss. I always want my clients to eat as much carbs as they can and still lose weight. Now, that may be a gigantic difference for two clients of even the same size due to body type, but I still want as much as possible.
An ectomorph is generally very efficient at glucose metabolism. Ectomorphs don't convert a lot of excess glucose into body fat because they use it rapidly for energy. This person needs more carbs more frequently to maintain muscle mass and energy. Making up for it in protein and fat isn't as effective as walking the fine line of a higher amount of carb intake.
Slow metabolic endomorphs do much better with a lower amount of carbs. If this person consumes too many carbs throughout the day, then glucose metabolism (which is a slower process for an endomorph) blocks ketogenic metabolism where body fat can be used for energy. Remember that when you have carbs that are available to be used as energy, they will be. If your body is slow at using carbs, as indicated by a slower metabolic rate and carbs making you look "soft," then you have to eat a low enough amount so that your body will turn to body fat for energy. I still like to keep carbs as high as possible for this type of client but for the slowest of the slow (metabolically) it sometimes requires brief spurts of no-carb dieting.
An easy way of giving yourself a solid starting point is to set your protein intake first. Determine how many calories you think you need to reach your goals. Next, add about 20-25% of your total calories from fat. Then, fill in the rest with carbs. Track your nutrition meticulously for two weeks and make notes on how you feel and how your workouts are going. If progress is too slow or too rapid, analyze your plan in light of your body type. Are you too high or too low on protein? Adjust your carbs up or down as needed. You can also adjust your fat. I never go below 15% on fat intake, but I also don't like to go too high. Once you get over 25% of your total calories from fat, you could use those extra calories as protein or carbs for a greater benefit than the additional fat can give.
I realize the last part of this article raises as many questions as it answers. The adjusting and monitoring of a specific person's nutrition and determining if it's the absolute best way of dieting is very much an individual process even with so many scientific constants. The true art of this process is using all the science available and molding it to a single person and all their individuality. As I work with a WNBF world champion or a fifty-five year old heart attack survivor, the program becomes a process.
Constant tracking, monitoring, adjusting, and analyzing forms the program into what works perfectly for that person. I suggest no less for you. Start now. Create an initial program. Track it flawlessly. Make adjustments one at a time so you can monitor your body's reaction and don't be afraid to keep trying new things until you're confident you know how your body responds best. You may just stumble onto perfection! Get a workout log and get started!

From "Supergirl" a Mod at  http://www.steroidology.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7814
LAST WEEK OUT GUIDELINES:

MONDAY: Last heavy training day (pick any lagging bodypart)...
Begin carb depletion... practice posing, but don't overdo it... Tan...

TUESDAY: Last day of cardio.. practice posing... carb depletion day 2... Last day of tanning...

WEDNESDAY: continue with posing.. carb depletion day 3... shave all body hair... eliminate gaseous and bulky foods and start eliminating salts...

THURSDAY: last meal of carb depletion... then Depletion workout prior to beginning carb up... continue posing... 1 gallon water for the day... cut ALL salts, sweeteners, any milk products.. begin carbing up!
**** last shower.. EXFOLIATE.. get someone in the shower with you to scrub your body and all loose skin.. reshave/touch up.. apply 1st coat of Pro-tan****

FRIDAY: 2nd coat of Pro-tan when you wake up... under 1 gallon water until your 3-4th meal and then 1-2 ozs with each meal until 12 hours prior to show ~9pm, stop all water intake (so that is under 1 gallon for the whole day).. only sips to wet your mouth... continue carb up (make sure to eat sweet potatos for potassium).. continue LIGHT posing... last coat of Pro-tan late evening 12 hours out...

SATURDAY (SHOW): HELTER SKELTER lol... this day and variables will really depend on how you look... Assuming you are right on.. continue with carbing up - breakfast meal (sweet pot/chicken) ... 1 glass of red wine prior to stepping on stage.. (brings out vascularity and helps warm you up) ONLY sips of water to keep your mouth wet... Touch up Pro-tan if necessary...

BETWEEN PJ & NIGHT SHOW: EAT!!! keep water minimal (~24oz) steak, yam, hamburger (no bread), fries lol.. whaveter you want.. depending again on how you look, but the assumption is that you are dimed in perfectly... touch up Pro-tan if necessary.. glass of red wine again prior to stepping on stage...

POST SHOW: PARTY YOUR ASS OFF AND EAT EVERYTHING YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON  lol

well.. there you have a bit of an insight to a "common" last week diming in plan... Adjustments should of course be made based on how you look and personal tweeking should always take place.. But you can use this as a guideline on how to approach your last week out!!!

Mike has 24 weeks til contest day.  If Mike took 6 weeks- and only trained 4 days a week with minimal cardio- and hit quads once, hams once, and calves twice every 5 days, his body would get a much needed rest.

He's been training 120 to 150 minutes a day, 5 times a week, just weights.  His body will only become more beat up by adding tons of cardio and restricting food intake.

Can you honestly say that a 6-week rest- focusing only on leg mass and healing before a precontest drive- will not help?


What's mike at now? 270?

My best guess is 225 onstage.




What he weighs come contest time, does not matter.  He can throw the damn scale out the window as far as the judges are concerned.

Just come in as lean as you can get, thats all you can do.

By the way rob, did you consider the probably 10 (or more) lbs of water weight he will lose the few days before the show?  Did you consider the muscle that will absolutely be lose while dieting?  Weight does not matter.

(looking down at my ankles).... hey freak how is it down there?

anyhow to answer your question you fucking little smurf it is simple....and I have said it before...

Mike has gotten roasted alive here on Getbig after posting pics and keeps a great attitude about it... also he is a big like like myself and not too far off age-wise either and now  he is putting it on the line so to say by entering this contest...

I want to support that...

also it is easy to be on his side when he has to put up with little tampons like yourself carping at his and my ankles every damn day on this board....

so go run to the supplement store and buy yourself a shitload of weight gainer powder and start eating and do something you have never in your life have done before...

GET BIG...

FYI
You can rinse it with really hot water (must be at least 150 degrees - so you probably won't get that out of your tap) which will ultimately make it as "lean" as chicken breast.  Sure, you lose a lot of flavor down the drain  :-\  but then just use more seasoning.

Don't you worry about that Sculpter.  Don't confuse our playful gander with serious considerations.  I am definitely objective when needed.  Where-ever Michael lags, I tell him.  I always offer my honest opinion and offer support in anyway I can.  I am probably the most truthful person of all that are supporting him on this venture.

ah, right, thought i'd heard it before.

anyway, you might want to enlist a buddy to help you do the poses.  You clearly know how to flex your muscles well but it wouldn't hurt to get a little practice with transitions and stuff...the more spot-on your poses are, the more you conceal any minor flaws you might have. 

Progress looks good, though, keep on keepin' on!

   At llittle late to compete.  I saw your pics with Shawn Ray in the early 90's,  why didn't you compete then  I mean it was easier then compared to today where every gym hero is on a cycle and taking diurectics.  Well if you do compete man do it safe not like these assholes that get all dehydrated and shit.   Good Luck.

just keep taking it one day at a time.  truth be told, you're ahead of the average bb because you've already a good deal of muscle mass. 

don't be surprised if the relationship gets "tense" after while.  it's amazing what the lack of carbs will do to your personality.  i tended to get really quiet and depressed, but the norm is for folks to get quite grouchy.   so tell Cheri not to be surprised if you snap at her every now and then.  hopefully, you won't, but if you do, it's normal.

stay focused, bro.

Mike..this is a good show to get your feet wet as it has a good amount of competitors, not too big but not too small. I did it myself back in 95. At that time either Sergio or George owned a gym and suprisingly the winners of every weight class worked out at this gym. Now let me also preface that some of these guys deserved to win their class but others, no way in hell.....

Additionally you need more fat in your diet, the right fats and in moderation are your friend, not the enemy...

Fish Oils, Flaxseed oil, perhaps a few extra egg yolks, rice cakes with PB.......

Thats my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth....
Title: Re: The Making of The Long Road to Compete 2005 -2007
Post by: tom joad on January 26, 2006, 11:03:18 AM
Yeah, healthy fats are important.  Also, it would be a good idea to start cycling your carb intake at some point during your contest prep .  On days that you're not lifting, the rice and potatoes aren't really necessary.  So on your "rest" days, i'd just keep the oatmeal in the morning and replace the other complex carbs in your meals with broccoli (or a similar veggie.)  This will help you take off some of the weight that you want to lose without sacrificing muscle.

You should do 3-4 poses and take a snapshot, then the exact same next time and so on, then it would be easy to see the changes and compare (for example side chest or whatever)

Mike,

What kind of food regimen are you on right now? What's your pattern?  How much cardio are you doing each day? 
Title: Re: The Making of The Long Road to Compete 2005 -2007
Post by: michael arvilla on February 10, 2006, 06:22:36 AM
this is what i typically eat in a day
meal one: egg whites(a couple low sodium rice cakes)
meal 2: chicken and rice
meal 3: whey protien shake
meal 4:same as meal 2
meal 5 :shake
meal 6:filet mignon rice
meal 7: shake

cardio= half hour to an hour on the treadmill

Post by: Colossus_500 on February 10, 2006, 07:17:15 AM
sounds like a good plan.  try upping that cardio from an hour to 1.5 hours a day.  Switch machines if you have to (30 min per cardio machine), but I think you need to pick that up a bit. 

When you are training, you should go through 3/4 gal to 1 gallon by the time your workout ends.  And try to drink 2 to 2.5 gal. of water per day.  I know it's alot and you'll be running to the bathroom every 15-20 minutes, but it will really get that metabolism kicking into high gear.

Are you measuring out your food?

Anything more than 45 minutes per session is not a great idea.

If you need to do more....


Do two seesions....morning & late afternoon.

Making good progress Mike.  You look even bigger now, and the lines are starting to come out.  As far as cardio, I recommended no more than 20 minutes HARD (~75-85% of max HR) on the treadmill 3-5 times week.  Sure the relative percentage of fat calories burned will be less than if you did say 45 minute sessions, but overall you'll burn just as many calories, keep you metabolism up for hours afterwards, and save time.  This is more efficient and productive, imo.

Thats the attitude EVERYONE should have. There's no giving up, you have 5 months and that's alot of time to perfect what you have, you seem to be on tract. At our age (I'm 43) there is only UP especially when it's your first show. I haven't competed in 15 years and it's guys like you who sometimes make me think about doing it again!

You know what you want to achieve, you have a posative attitude and because you are already improving rapidly you have momentum which is always nice. That's all that really matters.

Im living in Québec (canada) and here horsemeat is a popular meat for bodybuilders. I ve heard that its rare to find some in the US. We eat it grounded like ground steak, but it has less fat than beef and taste pretty good.

Man!  I didn't realize my advice was getting roasted.  lol   :D

It's just my opinion.  But the idea doing 1hr to 1.5 (which you need to gradually work up to) is to get you to drop weight sooner than later.  Alot of bodybuilders make that mistake and then they end up having to make drastic changes to their diet.  As you get closer to the show, you don't need to be doing this much cardio.  The others are right about that.  But the main idea is to get that metabolism kicking into gear. 

Bottomline though, bro.  You gotta do what's right for you.  Alot of people are going to give you their idea of what works, and that includes me.  I'm just giving you the plan that worked for me.  Do the hard work up front and then you won't be worried about being flat or holding too much water come competition time.  Just my .02.  Hope the training is going well for you.

Oh, I forgot another neat little trick.  When you drink your water, make sure it's really cold.  Your body has to work to regulate your core temperature.  So when you drink ice cold water, it forces your metabolism to boost itself. 

Have you lost any strength during your training?

   Hey dude, I hope that you are just listening to ONE guy.....you'll get people saying everything about everything, but the golden rule when attempting an endeavor such as this, is to listen to one person, and stick with his advise the whole way through. You have made some good progress, but I'm sure that you know by now that none of this is easy, and it gets 100 times harder if you do it right. If you are constantly tired- wore out 24-7, then you are on the right track. The diet will drive you crazy, and remember, no matter how ripped you are a week, or days leading up to contest day, and everybody's telling you how ripped, and diced to the bone you are.... there's probably 3-7 guys in you weight class that are just as shredded as you are, and they got people saying the exact same stuff about them. Be supremely confident, but also humble, and respectful. It will get you far.                                                    Weez

That is great, Mike!  Yeah, don't freak about losing the weight.  You've got some thickness to you, so you're just shedding fat.  You'll hit some plateaus as well.  That's just to be expected.  You'll lose, and then it'll feel like an act of congress before you shed another pound.  But you'll naturally bust through those plateaus.  I'm glad things are going well for you.

Hey Mike
I already see markant improvement here, you've gotten more defined, and some of the weight you've lost is probably waterweight.
Keep this up, you're finally revealing the potential we've all been waiting for you to utilize.
Good luck!  8)

You're gonna have to come in absolutely shredded to even get looked at.  First look is that your lack of leg thickness and wide/thick waist are gonna kill you.

You have alot of work to do from now until your show which is right around the corner.  I still honestly think you should wait until the fall, but hey thats just me.  OR do the show in five months as a "lets see how it goes" show then do a show in the fall for your real one.

Obviously your legs will be pretty thin, but your upper body will look really good imo. You can always say wanted a classic, old-school physique  ;D.
Once you lose the fat around the waist/belly you'll look massive. Have you had gyno surgery?

20 lbs is a lot though. Maybe you should check you're bf% and do some measering etc to see that you're not losing too much muscle.

You're gonna have to come in absolutely shredded to even get looked at.  First look is that your lack of leg thickness and wide/thick waist are gonna kill you.
You have alot of work to do from now until your show which is right around the corner.  I still honestly think you should wait until the fall, but hey thats just me.  OR do the show in five months as a "lets see how it goes" show then do a show in the fall for your real one.

The 20lbs is water and your trainer SHOULD be monitoring your weight on a weekly basis and bf% on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. 

Atleast thats what I would do.

Your not losing a bit of muscle if your keeping your protein high and keeping an eye on things....i.e. your bodyweight and bf%.

Do you take Flax seed oil?  If not you should be.  Take two tablespoons a day.  You'll thank me later.

Freakzilla is right though.
I'm always right.  Ya wanna know why?  Cause I'm a man.  Thats why. ;D

Also I'm not picking on Mike I think he's done a great job so far in losing some unwanted blubber and slimming up a bit.  But when it comes to competitive bb'ing you have to be brutally honest with them or they'll think there the shit and walk onstage a get there ass handed to them.  Judges score on what they see from the neck down.  And if Mike wants to do even remotely well he has to come in sliced! 

Because....

A. His legs are below average basically because of his height.  Nothing you can do there except shred them up as much as posibble.

B. His waist is to blocky and that is taking away from his overall symetry and proportion.  If he gets that smaller then everything else will look way bigger.  Remember bb'ing all about an illusion.  Judges don't give a shit if your 250 or 150.  If you come in awesome condition the smaller guys will beat the bigger less conditioned guys.  I've seen it happen numerous times and have done it myslef a few times.

C. Chest is well.....not in proportion with his shoulders....not even close.  Just do the best you can do there as well.

Just keep plugging away and do the best you can do Mike.  I'm just an honest sounding board.

Freak :)

It will be very good for your business to get shredded.

Your shoulders seems to be extremely wide, earlier on it wasn't as obvious, due to all the excess weight.

I think the physique that will start to show in early April, will be a whole different kind of Arvilla.

Will be very interesting.

Oh BTW, good luck and make sure that you won't have to regret all this effort.

In other words, don't do it 97, 98 or 99 percent. Be 100%.

Mike , I started reading through parts of this thread and you are definitely on the right track.  June 10th is a whole contest prep away still and you are already kickin' it into high gear!!  :)       Brother YOU ARE going to be shredded by June 1st!!!   Your body weight means nothing at this point.     All that matters is the change in the mirror/ fat % / and your strength levels..   

There is a few nuggets in this thread but listen to your friend exclusively.    Train big , PR's like crazy ,, there is no reason at all why you shouldn't be able to grow right into the next  8 weeks at least..  it is just your lack of conditioning right now.  Push it!!!!!   DO NOT let the weights beat you.  MIND over muscle...   You are still growing.  I don't know who you train with but you need some hardcore bro's to push your big azz  --->>>>  RIGHT NOW!!!!   

You will do this Big Mike! You are a champion and you have already won!!

ROTFL!!!  yeah, it does suck man.  have you snapped at Cheri yet?  it happens, bro.  i was the type that just got real quiet and depressed (sluggish).  but my wife damn near stepped on my throat and then twisted my head of when she competed.  lol  she was brutal.  just remind Cheri that this isn't you right now, and it's not your intent to hurt her feelings.  but from what i gather, you two are pretty perceptive on one another and you're open about communication, which is crucial in a relationship. 

just keep looking forward to those carb days, and savor them.  and treat her EXTRA special when you're feeling great.

its odd, mike....your lats look so big and full from the front...but from the back they sort of disappear. whats your back day look like?

and man......those legs are gonna need some work if you want to do well....  after this contesti suggest you cut back on the arm and chest and trap training a little bit and just kill your legs... be more proportional.


but only if you want to compete again.....cuz if not, you really have no reason to bring up yourlegs.



nice work dieting down though!!   leaner than me!(thats not saying much...but still..your hard work is showing!)

Mike, I hope these comparisons are helping you see that what you are doing is working.  Great job, bro!  I think the biggest different I see is in your back (seeing a little more detail) and in your legs.  Your legs aren't big, but you can see the definition coming along.  I think your proportions are going to be pretty nice.  You'll be very symmetrical, which is a huge part of the game of illusion.  That's all bodybuilding is, bro - illusion.  And you'll bring plenty of muscle to the game.   You are doing the Getbig crew proud, bro.  Keep it up.

Smith machine & Barbell Front Squats!!!!!!   are needed for some immediate & serious quad sweep and growth..   It will take everything to make drastic changes in a short time BUT YOU CAN and WILL.

Conditioning, conditioning, conditioning... that's your focus.
Question - Laura, have you not considered hopping on the bandwagon and training for the figure portion?
lol, no CQ, I haven't.  I am all about getting Michael to where he wants to go.  I train right along side of Michael every day and would ba happy to get in the shape it takes to do figure/fitness, but I definitely lack the confidence/boldness to do so.

Hey Mike, checked out your diet a few pages ago, and it seems to me that you are goi ng a little low on the fat content. Personally, I'd throw in a couple tablespoons ofeither olive oil or flax oil. Higher fat levels will keep you feeling fuller for long and they are alson necessary for optimal hormone levels and joint lubrication. Talk to your trainer about this.

MIKE - I truely believe most of the people posting mean well but 3/4's of them are either 19 and under and or  have never trained intensely with purpose and desire for a comp or anything else for that matter.>>>>>>YOU ABSOLUTELY can GROW for the next 6 weeks.. I've done it and I'm definitely below average in the genetics department. I've had clients and training partners do it. 1000's have.  Hell your 3 months and change from your show. Flush the defeatism attitude. Demand more of yourself. Period.... Yes!!!! hammer every freakin' muscle group to the MAX!!!!   YOUR freakin' legs WILL/ARE growing and have more sweep.  Your diet is dead on and cardio is stripping of the fat.   Get in the gym and kill it. Make sure your fats are high enough to keep you full with these low carb days.    Tear it up Big Mike.  You are going to win, period.  Champions never play for second place.

Your a retard.
Throwing in his age, years training and diet he WILL NOT be able to put on any noticable size in his legs come time for the contest no matter if he trains them 8 hours a day.
The point of contest dieting is to strip off all your fat while keep as much muscle as possible. Mike isn't going to be able to magically get shredded and get bigger at the same time.

I'll bet whoever told you that was trying to sell you a shedload of "anticatabolic supplements". Odds on you read it in Musclemag.
Heres something I learned while I was outside in the real world...
A study performed in 1975 showed rats were able to increase the size and weight of one of the calf muscles considerably even while starvation caused musclemass as a whole to fall by 30%.

Oh and by the way Santa Claus doesn't really exist and you don't really have to gain 10lbs to gain an inch on your arms that was all lies. ::)

Last post on this subject, since this thread is MIKE"S...   Frozzor---->>> bodybuilding is an illusion.  If you have EVER trained for a show and absolutely put your heart and soul into it, you would know this for yourself. 13 weeks is enough time to make amazing changes in muscle mass and bodyfat.  I repeat ---->> Bodybuilding is an illusion.  We are not talking about a 15lbs. gain in LBM but 5 lbs can and will make a huge change in the overall presentation. Especially in the quad sweep.  I agree that conditioning is the key for MIKE but do not believe the bullshit that you cannot grow while you diet..   I'm done...


Mike kick azz today. You can do it.

STUPID.
Are you two scoops short of a Met-RX or something? The rats were starved you f"cking turnip! That means they must've literally used other parts of their own body to build their calf muscles up, that is a biological ability inherent to the organism, are you saying that that ability would be lost through training? How can you call me stupid sh"t I'm suprised you can even spell it.

Well that's no good. Mike'll come in with one HUGE calf and 30% less overall muscle.
Awesome.
...is this a good time to use the "oh brother  ::)" phrase?
I'm not suggesting that he go without food completely like the rats did. I'm saying that if a rat can build muscle in a particular muscle on a 0 calorie diet, which it can! It is also a fact that Mike can improve his legs on his diet potentially even if he were on a 0 calorie diet.

I realise that I'm up against such intellectual luminaries as Robert Kennedy, and Greg Zulack here but trust me you can build one muscle at the expense of another without food thats a fact. How else do you explain a rat (well actually more than 1) that builds muscle without eating? I could understand if you disputed that the study ever took place (but then I could prove it did) I don't understand how you can convince yourself it isn't applicable to a dieting bodybuilder trying to bring up a lagging bodypart.

I've done this myself it's no trouble to improve 1 or 2 bodyparts while loosing bodyfat, and even as shown by this study while on a diet so extreme that you actually loose muscle.

After all, mike's gerbil isnt competing, he is.
Off course he's busting his legs... But you shouldn't overtrain either. Training too frequent can cause a burnout, or put him in  catabolic mode too long.

lol piss poor weak as a kitten
twice a day (first thing in the AM  on an empty stomach) then at night 30 mins each time
5 or 6


 carbs = 150 grams per day (3 days a week tue thurs sat it's low carbs 50 grams only,fiburous carbs only water based in and outta ur system fast brocolli ,cauliflower)
protein = 400 grams per day

BTW you probably need more fats....fish oils...flax seed oil.....almonds...walnut s.

Try adding a little to each meal.  For example have a small handful of almonds or a tablespoon of flax.  I bet your energy levels and mood will increase.

well, at 12 weeks out, this is where it gets serious.  judging by your pics, I would say you are behind schdule on nailing your condition.  You can still come in diced, but it's going to take everything you've got.  Here are a few thoughts:
*Keep doing cardio 2x/day for 30-40 minutes per session.  Definitely on an empty stomach in the am & after finishing all your meals in the pm.  Depending on how you're coming along, you may be able to back off about four weeks out.
*Your protein intake might be a tad low.  Perhaps your fat intake as well.  I have not seen what your nutrition plan consists of, but don't be afraid to add red meat.
*Cut back your weight training to four days per week and keep training HEAVY.  Don't feel like you need to add a bunch of "shaping" exercises and shit like that. 
* Keep taking pics every week from the same angle, same lighting, same trunks.  This will be your best gauge.
If you come in at around 5% BF, dry & full, I predict that you'll weigh in around 205-210lbs.  It may not sound like much, but after you drop 10-12lbs. of water and about 13% BF, you'll look way bigger than you do at 250.
Looking forward to seeing the progress!

thanks Yemeni................so unds like real solid advice
i appreciate it..........
i have a new found respect for anyone that's ever stepped on a BB stage (lol even you Freak)
i never knew what it took/what you guys went thru
btw ..freak im trying for 2 gallons a water per day (not getting it all in but trying,carry my crystal lite wherever i go)
anyways thanks again!!!!

In a nutshell Mike your carb intake is way too low for the amount of training you're doing (cardio) As I'm sure you know carbs are your source of energy and no matter how much protein you consume if you don't have the energy to train then whats the sense of competing. 150grms is the equivlant to 1 cup of rice and I don't consider brocolli and cauliflower carbs, they are cellulose and a non-energy source. here's what I would do. I would cycle your diet as such:
Days 1-4- Protein, low carbs (approx 100grms)
Day 5 - no protein and take in carbs that equal the amount of your protein intake. ( the reason...your metabolism will slow on days 1-4. Carb loading on the 5th day will jack your metabolism back up and keep burning for about a day and a half. The whole idea is to keep your body burning. If you don't have carbs all the cardio in the world won't help. Make sense?)
Day 6 - Repeat Days 1-4 and so on.

We use "Botan" rice. We make a full rice cooker full each morning. It's 35grms per 1/4 cup, 35x4=140grms. When I read your quote I questioned myself and checked.

IO is on the right track, but I would do it slightly different.  Time your higher carb days with your non-weight training days as such:

Day 1 - Pecs/bis/abs - 100g carbs
Day 2 - Quads/hams/calves - 100g carbs
Day 3 - Rest - 300g carbs
Day 4 - Delts/tris/abs - 100g carbs
Day 5 - Back/calves - 100g carbs
Day 6 - Rest - 300g carbs
Day 7 - Rest - 300g carbs

IMO, no need to completly cut out protein on higher carb days.  This should keep your metabolism cranking, while filling your glucogen stores on rest days...

id like to share an e-mail with you guys that Larry sent me.....


Hey Mike,
              Hope your feeling better.Its time to go. Low-carb tomorrow &
Thursday. Not 1 gram over 50, those days. Do Saturday too. Rest of the week,
carbs 100 max.Make sure your protein is up , no more of the 120g ones you
were taken. All meals have to be 50-65g of protein, no exceptions! Also, I
do not want you to rely on Protein Shakes at work . Have at least 1 meal
either chicken or egg-whites minimum. Pack them in tupperwear, I use to
carry 3 meals to work every-night. I know you have to work, but remember for
the next 12 weeks or so has to be about you first. And feeding the machine
(you) comes first.March 1, cardio twice a day everyday. Mornings, 30
minutes, minimum! Evenings, 25 minimum, 7 days a week, NO exceptions.Also ,
do not go over 4 hours between meals. You can eat every 3 1/2, but do not go
over 4. I do not care if you are training someone, if its meal time you
better be feeding your face.Your log book needs to be 100% accurate. Not ,"I

is doing it, try and come & it will charge you up & really motivate you
too.Have your logbook w/you so I can go over it, & have it accurate! You've
got to stay "Lock-ed On" w/everything. Lastly,pound the distilled water &
Crystal-Light Peach Tea, try to get the 3 gallons.Trust me, you can & it
works.Alright, I'll be back later w/more. Time to get focused, Locked-On.
Time for you to find out how tough you really are. Time to shut these boys

Mike, it IS hard to train for a bodybuilding show.  That's why not too many people do it, and if they do, very few have the fortitude to go balls out like Larry is wanting you to.  But if you follow it to the letter, you are going to surprise yourself.  Years from now, you'll be able to say that you put everything you had into this, and you'll have the pics to prove it.  If you've ever seen a marathon, there's always a crowd screaming and cheering on even the person who finishes dead last.  Why?  Because they just ran 26 freakin' miles!!!!  Same goes for people who train for bodybuilding shows.  You feel like crap, but you just keep going on.  And those who understand will applaud your efforts. 

LOL!  I bet you kinda got a lump in your throat and were like "oh, sh*t" when you read Larry's email, huh?  But at the same time, deep down inside, there's a part of you that's jacked to the gills right now.  You Can Do This, Mike!

He is following Larry's advice to the letter.  I am very proud of him.  He definitely has learned more respect for both the sport and those who compete.  This is a tough road for him, but he is dedicated and committed to it.  Hell, just seeing him get up this morning at 6:00 am to go do his cardio this morning gave me just that more respect for what he is doing and shows me he is in it for all it's worth.  I am truly glad he has taken this route.
I love you Michael Arvilla!!!

Hey Mike,
              Hope your feeling better.Its time to go. Low-carb tomorrow &
Thursday. Not 1 gram over 50, those days. Do Saturday too. Rest of the week,
carbs 100 max.Make sure your protein is up , no more of the 120g ones you
were taken. All meals have to be 50-65g of protein, no exceptions! Also, I
do not want you to rely on Protein Shakes at work . Have at least 1 meal
either chicken or egg-whites minimum. Pack them in tupperwear, I use to
carry 3 meals to work every-night. I know you have to work, but remember for
the next 12 weeks or so has to be about you first. And feeding the machine
(you) comes first.March 1, cardio twice a day everyday. Mornings, 30
minutes, minimum! Evenings, 25 minimum, 7 days a week, NO exceptions.Also ,
do not go over 4 hours between meals. You can eat every 3 1/2, but do not go
over 4. I do not care if you are training someone, if its meal time you
better be feeding your face.Your log book needs to be 100% accurate. Not ,"I
ate around 4 or so & had 2 chicken breasts & some rice". I want it like

Mike said "I think I look like shit"

I said to just keep lowering his body fat. there's 12 weeks for the show right? Even if he doesn't turn out to be in shape for the show. get his bodyfat down and do a different one. Then I said something along the lines of him obviously going for mass for a very long time and without cutting up it's not bodybuilding.

"Doesn't know what to Do". How many times has your ass been on a stage? Prob. never. So shut the f**k up until the shows over & see what happens.Everyone's an expert,aren't they? "I've dieted plenty of times" Jenny Craig doesn't count.

Classic.  Listen, I know you're just trying to make a buck, or just repeat what you think is right b/c something is wrong w/ you mentally, but you're fucking up Mike's chances.  So, maybe you should tell him the truth, and let someone that actually knows what to do help Mike.  It's not too late to own up to your bullshit.

as does Yemeni (mindspin)....but alas you cant listen to advice from a 100 different people
(that's a sure way to screw up ..everyone has different ideas/beliefs on how to get you in shape)
so im going with one source (larry)
that doesnt mean i wont be open to advice and listen to you guys ......i will
i just think it's best to go with one knowledgable guy...(who graciously offered his help!)

Ouch...weed.  Larry has been on stage, he has been really helpful and supportive of Michael as is most of getbiggers.  Unfortunately he can't listen and follow everyone's advice even if it sounds good.  One person, one rule, otherwise it gets to confusing and contradictive.  If Michael isn't ready for this contest he will shoot for another.  But I believe he will do well in June.  He puts himself down too much, he almost sounds like a girl lol.  Body building is all trial and error and if you don't know that...well then, you are not a body builder.  You have to find what works for you, your body and your genetics and that takes time.  It's not an overnight miracle.

Firstly, I am not putting Michael down.  Secondly, relax Mike, try adding Flax seed, additional B mix, and ginseng in the morning for mental improvement.
Now, I read LLES' posts, and they're posts of a fan.  Nothing wrong w/ that, until you try and coach someone.  You should not jack around w/ someone else. 
I'll dissect one of his posts: 3 Gallons w/ supplementation will wash out your body.  It'll start to strip away nutrients, minerals, salts, etc, and it will also act as a diuretic.   This hyper-hydration combined w/ a low carb intake will have horrible effects upon your body.   Distilled?  I have no idea where he got that from.  A lot of morons are buying distilled water at the stores now, it's a newer craze.  Maybe he's one of these people.

No, too much water in any form is a diuretic.  I have no idea why LLES said "drink distilled".  Drinking distilled water is a bad idea, especially on a bodybuilder's cutting diet.

When you diet and put your body through extreme physical stress you need those essential minerals that are in water. 

Also, some people are on a distilled water kick, b/c they fear the pollution of their water.  However, why add Crystal Lite if you fear chemicals?  It doesn't make any sense.  Also, normal food caontains about a 10:1 contamination ratio as compared to water.  So, unless you guys are eating totally clean, i.e. buying only certain foods from Whole Foods, Central Market, etc., WTF is the point?

One thing Michael is not on is a "chemically clean" diet.  lol  So chemicals in or out of food are not the reasoning for drinking distilled water. 

Here is what I know of distilled water:
"Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapour condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them. Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time). Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value."

Mike,
I'm not going to confuse you and take it for what it's worth. I've competed for a long time (since I was 16) and won plenty of shows. I've got to tell you 50gr of carbs while your probably in ketosis is not good, you're losing prescious muscle and if you're in ketosis now how can you expect to train for the next 12 weeks? The current diet your on now is something like you would use the last 3-4 weeks before a show, you're not ready for depletion yet you need to eat and and kick your metabloism back up......take a CONTROLLED carb day. Your body isn't taking a beating from training is taking a beating from the diet. Even on your high carb days (150grms) you won't pull out of ketosis, your not ready for that state. Water at this point is limit less because while in a depleted state your kidneys need it. I know you have confidence in Larry and that fine but use your commonsense as well. Good Luck!

just eat Mike, eat all of your protein first and then eat as much carbs after that as you can, it won't be that much but you'll still get more than 50-100 grams you're a big guy and you need at least 200 grams of carbs put a lot of them near your workout like Cutler does and your energy will go up.

Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time). Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value."

"special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them"  Doesn't work if you're over hydrated.  It actually has the opposite effect.  The water in the body becomes toxic, b/c the body is retaining water.  Then the body will try to filter out the polluted water through the liver, thus prolonging the breakdown of fat (and other functions). So the over-hydrated person will also build up sodium and have a washed/bloated look, and feel weak.

Also, not one study exists that Proves that distilled water is beneficial to a homeostatic organisim.  Distilled water was a fad of the 80's and has re-emerged.

Kinda hard to overhydrate if he's already depleted. High protein with little or no carbs results in your kidneys working harder than usual causing excess urination. Since your muscles are about 70% water you shouldn't limit your water consumption and the water should be as pure as possible to flush and keep your kidneys functioning properly!

Well, I disagree with you about the carbs Mr. IO. Ketosis especially with high protein and fats (I would like to see his EFA quantity jacked up though) is VERY muscle-sparing. He will look weaker and feel a little weaker(part of which will just be in his head), but that will be remedied as soon as he adds carbs back in. There was a study done on this recently(I will see if I can dig up), but bottom line ketosis works. He can carb-cycle if he wants as well, but personally, I would have him just go into ketosis full-time for a few weeks so he can adjust mentally(brain-fog and carb-cravings should dissipate after a few days).

I am wary of the extreme amounts of distilled water. All I will say is that, Mike, I hope you are taking high doses of a quality multi-vitamin/mineral. You can get Animal Pak fairly cheap online or go to your local GNC and get some Mega-men. Dose twice daily. Add flax or fish oil in if you can (helps mentally, lubricates joints, normalizes hormone levels, good for the heart). Also do your best to listen only to your guru, but see what he thinks of my advice.

Personally, just because you read 1 or 2 articles in Flex Or something else does not make you an expert , nor does doing your 5-10 pushups a night make you a BB. Fact of the matter is, I've prob. been onstage more times than you've been to a show , & I really think YOUR trying to mess Mike up .

just eat Mike, eat all of your protein first and then eat as much carbs after that as you can, it won't be that much but you'll still get more than 50-100 grams you're a big guy and you need at least 200 grams of carbs put a lot of them near your workout like Cutler does and your energy will go up.

The sight of a pizza or hamburger commercial would be absolute torture.  I too had a tough time getting to sleep (except for the one year I discovered GHB).  After about the sixth week, it got a lot easier, probably becasue I was so exhausted.  At that point you are basically a robot on auto pilot methodically doing your thing...

 (also Larry came up to World Gym Palm Beach Gardens and took a look at me
along with his pretty and jacked wife and daughter,his wife is doing the same show that im doing,
Larry....aka LLES was a pretty big dude himself,he showed me how to hit the madatory poses
and had some pictures from some of the shows he has competed in (dude looked great!)
all in all a very nice and knowledgeable guy (his wife was very nice and knew a lot as well)
here is an e-mail he sent us after ...................

"Hi Laura & Mike,
                      Thank you for the nice words. The pleasure was all
ours ,you & Mike are a great couple. Mike has a great support unit in you &
that is vital during competition. I really like the fact that you
"straight-shoot"it to  him when he needs it. I'm glad you are not babying
him. Mike is going to do just fine. BB is 95 % mental, & the higher up you
go the harder it gets,so thankful you'll be there to keep him on the
straight & narrow.I know we covered alot yesterday in a short time, so I
just wanted to go over a couple of things we touched on. Vitamins &
Minerals, if he is not on a really good one, let me suggest
www.puritanpride.com. When you get to the page go to the search box & put in
"Ocean Silver". It is bar-none the best Vitamin/Mineral I've ever taken. I
will not take any other kind. It is liquid so it absorbs quickly & you can
take it on an empty stomach, they usually run specials, buy 1 get 1 free or
buy 1 get 2 or 3 free,ect. 1 bottle 32oz last Emma & me about a month, My
parents & all my friends who have tried it all love it too, so check the
site out. Mike, make sure your journal is straight, once again this is
vital. When the show is over,it's a great reference guide & if & when you do
another show ( & you prob. will want to, believe me) you can fall back on
that & make proper adjustments. The first show is ALWAYS the hardest,
because you are in the dark in so many areas, next show, you'll know way
more on how you feel & your conditioning.It's also fun to write down how
your feeling that day & then looking back on it. Take plenty of pixs too.
The transformation process is awesome. You see yourself everyday, so you
don't see the transformation as much, but beleve me, when you see week 1
thru week 12-13 ,it's amazing! Not only that, you can put the transformation
on your web-site to show your customers too, & it could help your business.
You are doing great Mike keep it up, & keep practicing your posing,
everyday. Talk to you soon, Larry

So your not Flex Wheeler, who is. Make the most out of what you have. I've seen your structure & the only thing you need to worry about is making your weak body-parts a priority. Once they catch up ( & they will providing you work the sh*t out of them)you'll be fine. Wait till the shows over & you re-bound, you'll be pretty pleased w/what you see.

Larry beat me to it, Mike.  You gotta stop beating yourself up over your physique.  Everyone can't look like Flex Wheeler or Dorian Yates.  Dude, this is your first time ever doing something like this.  Remember, those guys were doing some MAJOR stuff to get to the level that they attained, and that was on top of the incredible genetics they possessed.  You're a good ways away from this competition, and I promise you, if you stay on target the way you are right now, you are going to impress yourself.  I understand how you feel and what you're going through.  But you can't compare yourself with the pros.  The top tier guys have contracts and don't have 9-5 jobs like the rest of us.  This is their life.  I just encourage you to take it one day at a time.  Put your head down and get after it for 12 weeks straight.  When it's time to look up, as sure as I exist, you'll be pleased with the result.  Why?  Because no matter where you place (bb is very funny in that you never know who's gonna show up), you'll know that you've done your best.  Keep a picture of yourself where you thought you looked your worst and compare it to the physique after you've competed.  Yeah, you'll feel alot better.

It's just an old saying. I have no idea where I came from. It basically means,once you get depleted & stripping the bodyfat off, you look & feel smaller than you've ever felt. After the show, you start eating & have a rebound ( put on extra muscle) & get bigger & if you watch your dieting closer than you did before your show& not let yourself get too fat afterwards, you'll be bigger & in better shape than before. When I competed, the one thing that really kept me focused during the weeks of low-carbing was continuously telling myself how great of a rebound I would & did have.

I'm surprised you never figured out how to rebound BEFORE the show.  If you fully deplete and lose all BF 3-4 weeks prior to the show, you can back off the cardio & up the calories resulting in full rebound without regaining an ounce of BF. 

Unfortunately Mike is probably not in a position to do this, becasue he'll be scrambling to lose BF all the way up to the show...

Looking great bro.. It looks like you have been sticking with youre plan. I looked at the most recent pics the other day before I knew you where dieting and the results are obvious. You are getting leaner.Mindspin gives some good advice... Stick to what is working for you. Work on those forarms and legs..Also have you been doing cardio on the stair climber? I found when I did my cardio on the climber my calves greatly improved.

Good luck bro

Mindspin is the "Chad Nichols" of this board
(i will always listen to what he has to say)
my boy Larry (LLES) is the one guiding my brain dead ass into this show
what i have learned in a very short time is amazing
(posing,nutrition,being humble,weighing food,writing a daily food journal,restricting carbs,depleteing me etc etc)

and lovely Laura of course (cooking my chicken,training with me,giving me no BS assessment and advice
"your calves are non-existent!".....go deeper on those squats!!!u need legs!!!! etc)
if i could go back a year or 2 ago my advice would be ..."keep your mouth shut ignore the morons and use this board to learn!!!!.....pick Mindspins brain...jeffery's,Freaks,LLE'S....colossuss....bodyy8 BALD etc  etc"

it was easy to throw some weight around .......eat a lot ....get big/bulky

this however is  Hard

I'm surprised you never figured out how to rebound BEFORE the show.  If you fully deplete and lose all BF 3-4 weeks prior to the show, you can back off the cardio & up the calories resulting in full rebound without regaining an ounce of BF. 

Unfortunately Mike is probably not in a position to do this, becasue he'll be scrambling to lose BF all the way up to the show...



I agree with you on this MS but, This is Mike's first show & with only 12 weeks of dieting, It would be damn near impossible to have him ready 3-4 weeks earlier to do this without burning up too much muscle in the process.From looking at your pics(Impressive) when you competed ,am I wrong to assume you have a  natural high metabolism? I don't & neither does Mike, so I have to approach it a little differently, esp with 12 weeks to go. If he does another show next year, That approach( depending on how he  maintains some level of conditioning) is a definite possibility.

Mindspin is the "Chad Nichols" of this board
(i will always listen to what he has to say)
my boy Larry (LLES) is the one guiding my brain dead ass into this show
what i have learned in a very short time is amazing
(posing,nutrition,being humble,weighing food,writing a daily food journal,restricting carbs,depleteing me etc etc)

and lovely Laura of course (cooking my chicken,training with me,giving me no BS assessment and advice
"your calves are non-existent!".....go deeper on those squats!!!u need legs!!!! etc)
if i could go back a year or 2 ago my advice would be ..."keep your mouth shut ignore the morons and use this board to learn!!!!.....pick Mindspins brain...jeffery's,Freaks,LLE'S....colossuss....bodyy8 8  etc  etc"

Mike you got this..... Keep busting you're ass and beat those legs until you cant walk. Honestly you seem to be on the road the get in awsome condition for this show.. Its a new Arvilla and I bet this time next year you will be a ripped 250 cruising into you're next contest.

Stay focused and keep busting you're ass you're results are becoming more and more pronounced. Get on that stair climber for some cardio sessions as the thousands of reps youre calves will have to do (along with you blasting them) will help them greatly..

Good luck mang!

I agree, Mike will not be able to benefit from a pre contest bounce for this particular show.  That's not to say that he cannot come in ripped, full & dry. 

As for my metabolism it is actually more toward the sloooow side.  My abs completly disapear in off-season mode (like right now).  When I competed, I actually took 16 weeks to diet down for a show: 4 weeks to clean up my diet & bring back abs; 8 weeks to completly deplete & get shreded; 4 weeks to bounce back & fine tune.

As for the comparison to Chad "where's my kidney" Nichols thanks, but I'm not a big fan.  I think his forte is chemical warfare, of which I know little about. 

Looking good Mike...keep it up!

To put things in perspective for you, Mike - it took me 9 months (that's right, 36 weeks) to for my first show.  I had to go from eating Micky D's and Pizza Hut every night to eating turkey, chicken, and extra lean steak, rice, and veggies.  So it took me alot longer to get where you see me in my pic.  That's why I am so certain Larry's got you on the right track.

Also, not one study exists that Proves that distilled water is beneficial to a homeostatic organisim.  Distilled water was a fad of the 80's and has re-emerged.



Distilled water is only good for putting in car batteries. Its stupid to drink it instead of bottled water or a good tap water.

It's just an old saying. I have no idea where I came from. It basically means,once you get depleted & stripping the bodyfat off, you look & feel smaller than you've ever felt. After the show, you start eating & have a rebound ( put on extra muscle) & get bigger & if you watch your dieting closer than you did before your show& not let yourself get too fat afterwards, you'll be bigger & in better shape than before. When I competed, the one thing that really kept me focused during the weeks of low-carbing was continuously telling myself how great of a rebound I would & did have.


Isn't your goal to be in your best shape at the show?

Mike you hit your poses pretty good but can I make some minor suggestions?

When you do your most musclar variation, dont lock your knees, bend them slightly it will make your legs look thicker and it just makes you look more muscular overall.

In the side tricep, that pose is done that way but again, you will look much thicker and you will take up more space on stage if you put your back leg back and your fore leg stationary in front of your body, it gives your leg a better angle as well to show off the splits in the side of the thigh

The side chest bring your arm closest to the camera back further and tighten that trap, twist your hips towards the background and your upper body towards the camera, point your foot closest to the camera inward.

The front lat spread put your feet at about shoulder width and dont lock the knees.

In the back double bicep, raise your arms a tad bit higher, it will make your biceps peak more. Put your thighs more outwards and tighten your glutes, it will make your thighs look bigger cause of the side angle.

But overall you hit the mandatories pretty damn good.

 THANKS  (appreciate the posing tips will work on those)
.........MIKE

BTW it would probably be a good idea to wear your posing trunks so you getting more comfortable wearing them and it doesn't feel so weird.  Another thought might to invite people to watch you pose who are interested.  I mean you probably only pose in front of Laura, but it's a whole different story when your posing in front of people you don't know.

give it a few more weeks...



until the next hurricane that rolls through
We weathered Hurricane Wilma pretty good.  We kinda liked it, remember we were filming it ... outside.  Besides, I'd take a couple hurricanes over several Nor-easters anyday.

BTW it would probably be a good idea to wear your posing trunks so you getting more comfortable wearing them and it doesn't feel so weird.  Another thought might to invite people to watch you pose who are interested.  I mean you probably only pose in front of Laura, but it's a whole different story when your posing in front of people you don't know.

Freak 8)

Mike as funny as it sounds, words could not be truer...the training was easy, cardio and dieting was easy....getting used to these posing trunks = not cool.  Talk about stepping out on stage in front of 15 of my family, friends and coworker....man oh man. I look back it now and laugh but....

Keep on moving along...

Have you added the fats I recommended to your diet? Remember you need fat to burn fat...

There is NO comparison between CA & FL whether.  While both have great sunshine yearound, CA has a near perfect temperature, little rain & modest seasonal changes.  FL has ungodly humidity.  That's why real estate prices are so much higher in CA...for most, it's the most desirable place in the country.

I agree.

You have to live in both states....& once you do....you'll never want to live in Florida

No?  Are you sure?  Not even October 31, 2001?  Or February 1, 1994?  Oh wait or...The California Institute of Technology keeps the most detailed earthquake catalog for southern California.  Looking at their
catalog, there were seventy-five earthquakes in the San Diego area (between 32.2 and 33.2N latitude and 116.5 and 117.5W longitude) from 1 January 1994 to 1 April 1995.


But anyway, I don't "live" in New England anymore so no more "nor-easters" for me.  Florida is hot and humid, but I like that kind of climate so therefore I think Florida, South Florida is the best place for me to live.  :)

I very rarely post on here anymore (I actually used to post on this message board a long time ago in the old format), but I still come by occasionally to read the posts.  I must say that that you have made a very impressive transformation both in terms of your body and your attitude.  Perhaps it is the positive influence on a good woman in your life, but you seem much more at peace with yourself than you were a few years ago.

Best of luck with the next thirteen weeks.

That might be true, but i have to tell you that 99% of those quakes are not even noticeable.  In the 23 years I've been in CA, I recall only one quake that was strong enough to actually cause me to jump out of bed and get under a doorway.  It was about 15-20 years ago.  I think a few plates broke in the kitchen.  That was the extent of the damage.

Speaking of damage, Mike it looks like you'll be causing some.  Looking good for 12 weeks out.

Mike, your commitment is fantastic. You are really an inspiration.

Look, your current diet is ruining you. Your metabolism is shot to hell. I would be suprised if your leptin levels could even be measured. You need to get on a cyclical diet. What you are basiclly doing is a PSMF every day, chronically. These diets are typically effective for only a few weeks at most before they bottom out due to metabolic depression. From your picks you look like you are getting smaller but not neccessarily that much leaner. It is a shame because you are working so hard. Your diet needs to be much smarter. There is no way you are going to come in ripped with this diet and you are sacrificing muscle to fat at a ratio that's got to be greater than 50:50 right now from the looks of things. You seem like a really good guy but don't let your loyalty harm your progress. I think it was mindspin who posted a sample diet with some higher and lower carb days that looked a little better. I would reccommend you do 5 low carb low cal days like you are doing now everyday and then for 2 days *in a row* do a higher carb day with very very low fat (just fish oils if possible) and bare maintenace protein (for you probably around 200grams max). The rest should be from starchy, high glucose carbs (try 300 grams to start; may need a bit more) with only a little bit of fructose. The higher carb days in succession will bump your leptin and get lipolysis moving again. I promise you, you will not gain fat from this, especially with your strict diet days that will follow. Look, this is just a sample but your diet currently is killing you. You deserve better. Good luck.

I've been reading this place and I think you may want to think about more calories.  you are clearly depleted beyond what you should be, and you are losing too much muscle.   show is in august... so that gives you 5 more months? you need more carbs mike.  good luck.

Mike, your commitment is fantastic. You are really an inspiration.

Look, your current diet is ruining you. Your metabolism is shot to hell. I would be suprised if your leptin levels could even be measured. You need to get on a cyclical diet. What you are basiclly doing is a PSMF every day, chronically. These diets are typically effective for only a few weeks at most before they bottom out due to metabolic depression. From your picks you look like you are getting smaller but not neccessarily that much leaner. It is a shame because you are working so hard. Your diet needs to be much smarter. There is no way you are going to come in ripped with this diet and you are sacrificing muscle to fat at a ratio that's got to be greater than 50:50 right now from the looks of things. You seem like a really good guy but don't let your loyalty harm your progress. I think it was mindspin who posted a sample diet with some higher and lower carb days that looked a little better. I would reccommend you do 5 low carb low cal days like you are doing now everyday and then for 2 days *in a row* do a higher carb day with very very low fat (just fish oils if possible) and bare maintenace protein (for you probably around 200grams max). The rest should be from starchy, high glucose carbs (try 300 grams to start; may need a bit more) with only a little bit of fructose. The higher carb days in succession will bump your leptin and get lipolysis moving again. I promise you, you will not gain fat from this, especially with your strict diet days that will follow. Look, this is just a sample but your diet currently is killing you. You deserve better. Good luck.



AGB's makes a valid point.

"a lil story".....
LAURA made fish the other night for supper (swordfish and tuna steaks)
now i fucking hate fish!,sooo as i been keeping a daily food log
(and scanning it and sending it to larry)
i discovered by keeping track of everything that goes in my mouth that my protein intake was only about 133 grams per day
Larry told me i needed at leasts 450 grams per day
soooo 40 - 50 grams protein per meal no exceptions!!!
the Fish was somewhere in the 50 gram range..............i could only choke down less than half of it
we came up with the bright idea to "BLEND" the fish in a " magic bullet blender"
lil water sum swrordfish..sum tuna

ALA" Fear Factory"........i took the smelly fish bile,drank it slowly
when it got to a quarter glass left i chugged it like a shot to get it over with
my body violently heaved and retched as i clamped my mouth shut to hold the thrown up fish bile in
(lil bit squirted out between my fingers)
i then swallowed it back down causing me to throw up once again
which i then swallowed and kept down

I'm not saying anything bad against Cheri, but does she know who took cook fish & make it taste good?

I know alot of people that cook fish & it always comes out terrible (actually I'm one of those people)

I can follow the same exact method of cooking it, but it never comes out right.

To this day, My father can cook fish & I can't figure out how he does it & makes it always taste good.

hmmmm..........

Phosphatidylcholine was initially used in emergencies and in the treatment of atheroma plaques in cardiac diseases. Recently, it has also been used in the treatment of localized fat deposits. We report on the authors' clinical experience of the use of 250 mg/ml phosphatidylcholine injections in the treatment of subcutaneous fat deposits, showing the clinical response and side-effects. Volunteers received phosphatidylcholine injections in several areas of localized fat deposits, with a minimum interval of one week and mean interval of 15 days between applications. Laboratory tests were performed during the period of the drug use. Clinical results reflect that phosphatidylcholine was efficacious in reducing the fatty pads in the treated areas, with few side effects. From the authors' point of view, the off-label use of phosphatidylcholine in the treatment of fatty pads and small areas of localized fat is safe, low cost, and effective.

i just picked some up for my girlfriend for her saddlebags...In a 1cc inslin pin, we are using 20units per shot and getting 5 shots per 1cc--we are doing 2cc on the left and 2cc on the right side..Only in week one right now...You do these once a week...But Im gonna try it in my chest(touch of gyno) before the summer starts...The chest(nip)area is such a sensitive area, I would start slow.. maybe 10units per shot at 10 shots per side(1cc)..

Warning though---she bruised up almost immediately after the shots(nothing major) and it looks weird for about 2 days because the stuff just sits right under the skin but does disapate...I talked to Chris who owns PNP and asked him about using it for gyno and he said that he hasn't heard of anyone using it for that but said it will work...I've seen pictures on the net of woman who have used mesotherapy for under their eye lids(that must be real sensitive) so i don't know why it wouldn't work for gyno...Hell for less then $100 its worth a shot...Clinics that do Mes therapy get a boat load of money for this stuff and thanks to places like PNP..We research people can get the stuff so much cheaper then going to have it done yourself...Gyno surgury was going to be in my future but i can't afford it and came across this stuff..It looks promising...

Mike, I admire your determination...

but you're 250+ pounds!  And you're on gear & ECA!

2500 calories a day- along with weights and 1+ hour of cardio daily-

Holy crap, that's not a lot of calories.

I'm sure our nutritionists know better than I do...

But your metabolism has gotta be floored at this point.

And it's only March.  By August, you're going to be 176 pounds with zero metabolism and your legs are going to be very very flat.

Just my two cents... but you may want to up the calories or cycle the higher cal days to bring your metabolism back to life. Good luck!

Rob

You know absolutely nothing on what it takes to compete ,other than what you've read or heard someone else do. Tell me( & I am not busting your chops) honestly, how many times have you competed or how many people have YOU personally prepped for a show?Just because Dell computers told me step for step how to hook up my computer ,does not mean I'm ready to build web-site's or tell you how too either.

1) What's up with the ridiculously high protein?  Are you following Dogcrap training or something?

That protein intake it perfect... Mike is 250 lbs...

when I started training I was taking my body weight in protein in 145 at the time....  I got to 200 lbs but I noticed I had a gained body fat that with my metabolism was unacceptable..

I upped my protein to 300 grams and calculated that into my caloric intake as a larger percentage.

I dieted down to about 173 lbs and was ripped to the bone... I then bulked again but this time with my protein at 300 grams same total Cal's same training methods all aspects except the protein I kept the same... When I got to a little over 200 I was much leaner I was 21 at time of these pics.....

This is a pic of me from a few years ago when consuming close to 5000 Cal's a day.... BF prob around 11 percent which is not bad for 30 lb total bulk.


An yes monster triceps I know lol..... Although to my defense the angle of the pic does not show my arms and makes them smaller.. They are only 17 1/2 inches in that pic anyway but hey what ya gonna do better than 145 lol

I'm not trying to call you out on it.  And I'm not attacking your advice.

However, I have dieted before, so I do know the effects of a slowed metabolism and reduced food intake on the human body.  And I've built sites for many competitors while on various parts of their precontest diet, keeping records for them for their member sections on training and diet.

And most do not lose so much weight so fast, most do not look so sickly, most do not go to such extremes while still 20 weeks out.  Mike was drinking a half a gallon of gatorade a day, in addition to tons of food before.  His body was used to more calories- a lot more.  IMO the cut was too drastic.

You're the expert, not me, but this is a discussion board where differing opinions usually contribute to the best possible outcome.  For something as complex as a first precontest diet on a 40+ man at 250 pounds using gear and ECA, there may be major adjustments that need to be made.

In other words, the map may change, and the calories may have to come up.  He is losing too much muscle too fast, IMO.

Matt McLaughlin (a local area bodybuilder,won his class at the North Americans)
and a few of us went out to eat after the pre-judging ,(Matt was getting ready for a show)
nice place...pricey tho
we all got steaks (like 30 bux a steak)
after dinner walking out to the parking lot Matt looks a "lil green"
"you all right dude" i ask?
Matt pukes up his dinner,all over the parking lot
next thing you know Matt is down on his hands and knees "scooping up"
the puked up steak in his hands and putting it in his mouth!

Rob, I did not say you were calling me out. Also , I am far from being an expert, but the dieting you did to look good at the beach is a far,far cry from trying to diet for a show.As far as dropping weight so quick, all he's doing is flushing excess water& the top layer of fat off. I'm not just monitoring Mike on-line, I've already seen him in person on quite a few occasions & I can tell you he looks quite different in person. Mike has a long way to go in a relative short time & to get that fat that's interlaced in the muscles, he's got to get brutal & do it quick. The trick is trying to maintain as much muscle as possible in the process.He is going to burn up some muscle, it happens. I've competed several times & I can tell you I have never counted calories. As long as your protein/carb/fat ratio is where it should be at that particular time of the diet, you will be just fine. As far as looking sickly, You ever been backstage at a show, just about everyone(If they've done their homework)looks like they are about to fall over. BB is an illusion. Mike will be just fine as long as he's willing to suffer to get there,and anyone whose ever been onstage local or National level or above will tell you ,if you want to look the best you can, your going to suffer.

That protein intake it perfect... Mike is 250 lbs...

when I started training I was taking my body weight in protein in 145 at the time....  I got to 200 lbs but I noticed I had a gained body fat that with my metabolism was unacceptable..

I upped my protein to 300 grams and calculated that into my caloric intake as a larger percentage.

I dieted down to about 173 lbs and was ripped to the bone... I then bulked again but this time with my protein at 300 grams same total Cal's same training methods all aspects except the protein I kept the same... When I got to a little over 200 I was much leaner I was 21 at time of these pics.....

This is a pic of me from a few years ago when consuming close to 5000 Cal's a day.... BF prob around 11 percent which is not bad for 30 lb total bulk.


An yes monster triceps I know lol..... Although to my defense the angle of the pic does not show my arms and makes them smaller.. They are only 17 1/2 inches in that pic anyway but hey what ya gonna do better than 145 lol



17 1/2 ? ? ?

Rob, I did not say you were calling me out. Also , I am far from being an expert, but the dieting you did to look good at the beach is a far,far cry from trying to diet for a show.As far as dropping weight so quick, all he's doing is flushing excess water& the top layer of fat off. I'm not just monitoring Mike on-line, I've already seen him in person on quite a few occasions & I can tell you he looks quite different in person. Mike has a long way to go in a relative short time & to get that fat that's interlaced in the muscles, he's got to get brutal & do it quick. The trick is trying to maintain as much muscle as possible in the process.He is going to burn up some muscle, it happens. I've competed several times & I can tell you I have never counted calories. As long as your protein/carb/fat ratio is where it should be at that particular time of the diet, you will be just fine. As far as looking sickly, You ever been backstage at a show, just about everyone(If they've done their homework)looks like they are about to fall over. BB is an illusion. Mike will be just fine as long as he's willing to suffer to get there,and anyone whose ever been onstage local or National level or above will tell you ,if you want to look the best you can, your going to suffer.

I never felt good dieting for a show.  Specially the last few days.  On the day of the show, for some reason, I always got a head splitting migrane.  And, since I did not want to take any chances of holding water, I couldn't take any pain medication.  It was brutal.

I remember the prejudging for one of my shows.  I was called out for 4-5 comparisons.  If they would have asked me for one more, I would have dropped right there & then.

Did someone say this was supposed to be fun?

Ms, the headache was likely from restricting your water. The first sign of dehydration is a severe headache.The closest I ever came to passing outin my life was during prejudging. Held the poses so long & hard I actually had tunnel-vision & it keep getting narrower & narrower. I said "F-it, if I pass out I'm hitting the floor face-first". Right when the tunnel got about the size of a baseball, the judges said , "Relax".It went like that the whole time. I thought I'd never get off that stage.

That's funny...exactly how I remember it.  What's amazing is that looking back at the video tapes, I actually had very good stage precense and managed to hit poses well.  I was the only one who know that I was on the verge of collapsing.  You're right about the dehydration.

Here is a tip Mike.  Watch video tapes of the great posers (Shawn Ray, Lee Labrada, etc.) over and over every night and visualize yourself on stage.  When the time comes, even if you are on the verge of collapsing, you'll be on auto pilot & make it through...

Ya, when the shot was taken it was on a time set cam.... I wanted to show my lats of as best as i could so i pushed my arms forward in the relaxed pose.... The angle makes them look alot more weak than they really are....17 1/2 inches is small. I know im not huge but i started at 145 2 yrs before so I did well for what i wanted to do.

My arms are not big but def not as weak as that pic makes them look.

Looking good, bro.  I know you're feeling like crap, because like you said you're looking flat.  Isn't it amazing what carbs do for your body.  The days that you carb up you'll look full and harder.  I remember those flat, sluggish days vividly, man.  I was so lethargic for my last show, I was in an accident just pulling out of my stinkin' driveway.  Everything felt like it was slo-mo. 

You're doing great, man.  Serious improvements.  Have you bitten Cheri's head off yet?  Sounds like you and I are alot alike in the sense that when you're depleted, you're more depressed than irritated.  At least when you're depressed you don't have to go back and apologize for snapping at people later.  lol

Mike-

Great progress!, but I'd consider treating this as a "leaning out" phase but NOT compete this year.

Main reason is that IMO to compete at a bb contest, you should LOOK like a bb, not just like an "in-shape" guy - if a gymnast, amateur wrestler, or ultimate fighter (think Andrei Arlovski) is more muscular than you, you should NOT be competing as a bb!.

Of course if your goal is to just get in shape + have fun at a contest, then that's fine, but when I've entered + when I watch bb contests, I expect to be/see guys that look more muscular than gymnasts.  

Right now I know you're depleted, but even so, only you'r side chest + BDB look ~OK.  Even if you lean out more + carb up, you'll still at most look like a guy who works out but wont be impressive as a BB.

It'd be better to pull a post-NOC, pre-first Olympia Dorian Yates plan - that is, stop the dieting but continue to EAT CLEAN but high calories + concentrate on gaining mass again, particularly in your lat width, chest, and quads/hams.

THEN you can enter a show + "look" like a real bb!

G'luck whatever you do.

Post by: MindSpin on March 23, 2006, 12:17:43 PM
I don't agree with that.  Even if Mike doesn't look "INSANE", going through the process of prepping for a show is a valuable experience from which he learn not just a lot more about bodybuilding, but about the kind of man he is.  Come show time, if he can look at himself in the mirror and honestly say that he did everything he could to be at his best, then it's all worth it. 
Title: Re: The Making of The Long Road to Compete 2005 -2007
Post by: bald on March 23, 2006, 12:50:32 PM
I agree with Mindspin here.  Plus, doing a bodybuilding show, really, is all about building an obtical illusion.  You see these dudes walking around the crowd, and then see them on stage, they look about 50lbs bigger.

Mike looks good in these pics, not insane, but good.  Once he is diced and tanned and oiled, compiled with the lighting in the show................its all about the obticle illusion, he just might end up looking insane.

'Spin-

I see yer point, but if you call yourself a bb'er, I think you should be more muscular than another athlete, or else what are you really doing + what kind of competition is bb?

If a college football player can come off the playing field, walk on stage + look better than you, then exactly what type of "bodybuilder" are you?

Remember when strongmen contest winners would sometimes enter the physique contest, beat everyone + then  laugh at bodybuilding?

Not good for bb.....

This is analogous to the old argument of "Should you applaud/give an A for effort out of shape people who get in the best shape of their life, enter a bb contest, but frankly dont look very good?".

Sorry, but I 100% agree with Mr. Incredible's comment that "We're coming up with new ways to celebrate mediocrity."

In short:

1. Compete in a sport if you're competitive.  
2. Otherwise just have fun in your chosen sport, but don't pretend you're a competitive athlete, as it makes your sport look bad.

Mike, in the midst of my ongoing criticism, I just want to emphasize that your phsyique improvement IS very noticable + very commendable.  Self-improvement is always cool.

My only quibble is how I define a "competitive bodybuilder" vs what 'Spin and others define it as, and this definition's implications for bb as a sport.

Again, good work, + good luck whatever you decide to do.

I understand fully BB. its like what you consider an attractive woman, someone else thinks shes just par.

Its all standards that you set.

I agree with Mindspin here.  Plus, doing a bodybuilding show, really, is all about building an obtical illusion.  You see these dudes walking around the crowd, and then see them on stage, they look about 50lbs bigger.

Mike looks good in these pics, not insane, but good.  Once he is diced and tanned and oiled, compiled with the lighting in the show................its all about the obticle illusion, he just might end up looking insane.

"obticle"

Optical.  Not even close.

'Spin-

I see yer point, but if you call yourself a bb'er, I think you should be more muscular than another athlete, or else what are you really doing + what kind of competition is bb?

If a college football player can come off the playing field, walk on stage + look better than you, then exactly what type of "bodybuilder" are you?

Remember when strongmen contest winners would sometimes enter the physique contest, beat everyone + then  laugh at bodybuilding?

Not good for bb.....

This is analogous to the old argument of "Should you applaud/give an A for effort out of shape people who get in the best shape of their life, enter a bb contest, but frankly dont look very good?".

Sorry, but I 100% agree with Mr. Incredible's comment that "We're coming up with new ways to celebrate mediocrity."

In short:

1. Compete in a sport if you're competitive.  
2. Otherwise just have fun in your chosen sport, but don't pretend you're a competitive athlete, as it makes your sport look bad.



most professional bodybuilders could start in the nfl on the line, or some at linebacker...some would even be all pro, just with their size and strength.    hell...ronnie would probably be the best d lineman of all time if he played.

so no one in the nfl should be playing?? because bodybuilders are better?



i agree with what your saying...dont compete unless you are a bodybuuilder, but, not to th e extent where a guy like mike cant compete.

now, a guy ike bald, or jeffery...thats a different story.   stick to gymnastics, queerbaits!! ahha

I don't agree with that.  Even if Mike doesn't look "INSANE", going through the process of prepping for a show is a valuable experience from which he learn not just a lot more about bodybuilding, but about the kind of man he is.  Come show time, if he can look at himself in the mirror and honestly say that he did everything he could to be at his best, then it's all worth it. 






 Once again I agree w/MS. Doc, if everyone followed your advice, there would be no BB. You'd never feel like you were big enough or in good enough shape to get onstage. Start slow ,strip the fat away & see what you really look like & take it from there.

Man you need to shut the hell up cause your 16yr old 235lbs 10% BF ass has no idea what the hell your talking about.. Ronnie could have been the best DB ever??????

There is much more to an NFL position than size and strength bud.. the game is more mental than some people realize, the knowhow of being in the right position @ a certain time, the ability to read plays/quarterback, the check off of all the opponents opposite the ball.

You boy are a gimmick and your replys dirty up threads,

And what do you know about competing?

First off if you don't believe bb is a sport, what do you think of "football" (as that was mentioned in my post) knny, and although bodybuilding does not fall in the "category" of sports, it is viewed by sports fans, when broadcasted it is on sports channels, and the fact that physical strength, agility, stamina and sacrifice are involved in such, along with competition ... I personally would categorize it as a sport, not just an industry.

Who cares if it's on TV....I guess CSI are real detectives too?

It's never mentioned on ESPN News Coverage or any other sports news coverage.

It will make local news from times to times (just like when the circus comes to town) but have you ever realized why when it is on the news....the sports news broadcasters won't be covering the story?  They usually give the assignment to some moron that just started on the station.

You can't make a legitimate bet & no bookie in the world will make money off bodybuilding.

I can be a fan of bodybuilding....but it's not a sport.

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, & Harry Potter have fans....but I guess thats not real either.

Bodybuilding IMO can be viewed as a lifestyle or a form of Art but not as an athletic sport or sporting event.

You're right knny, cuz everyone knows that Coleman, Cutler, Jackson, Martinez, Ruhl, etc don't lift actual weights, they are lifting plastic or better yet they are added via illusion like the light sabers in Star Wars. 

I read the entire thread, my point where I originally posted was regarding the NFL players in comparison to bodybuilders.

Regarding placing bets on Bodybuilding, I wouldn't know why bookies don't consider bodybuilding competition bets, seeing they do place bets on the WWF (but I guess that's considered a "real" sport).

Good point.  Mike, you already have 15 years of training behind you, right?  And you are where you are without claiming to be natural, right?  So I hope that your great determination to take your physique to a near pro-like level in "a few years" is muted by a full understanding of the health risks that could lie ahead from doing whatever it takes in pursuit of your lofty goal.  (Nonetheless, your determination is commendable.)

Simple;

Football = skill

Bodybuilding = no skill

I've been in the "Industry" for 30 years and competed at the National level and not once have I ever considered bodybuilding a sport.

I work with professional athletes and the workouts I do with them takes "skill" (speed, agility, transition) along with there regular strength workout and combine prep, and like I said in previous threads there is not ONE pro or top NPC competitor that can match the skill of an "athlete"!

Not to get off topic, but I need to respond to this.  No professional bodybuilder would stand a chance on a pro, or even college (except maybe D-III), D-line.  Not only do they lack sufficient size (body builders are way too short) and speed (for DE or LB), they lack the necessary skill (of which there is a lot more than most people seem to realize).  If any of them could succeed at football, they would have pursued football.

After seeing your picture, you don't have anything to say. How can you have any opinion? Your friggin stomach is twice as wide as your shoulders,& you posted a photo-shopped pic of yourself & then deleted it.You have NOTHING to say,zero credibility. Then you posted these absolute ludicrous lifts such as a 357lb bench press,you are completely full of A-number 1 sh*t ,fatboy. If your weak ass could press 1/2 of that you'd be lucky, not to mention a 183lb curl , not only are you a complete liar , your a bad 1. Do you realize what a absolute MORON you looked like having your pic taken w/top IFBB pro & wearing a shirt that said, "Shut the "F" up & train", when it looks like you have never seen a gym ? I bet Jay rolled his eyes when he seen you coming. Did you give him advice on how to take the crown from Ronnie you dim-wit? Like I told you before Lard-ass, just because you've done 5-10 pushups ( & judging from your spectacular shape ,you needed at least 3 sets to complete the reps) & bought John Basedow's video's ( which are not working) & met Jay Cutler, does not make you a BB'er. Until you get onstage Fat-boy ( & looking at your pic,you need a good 10 years of heavy gear,growth,t-3, clen ,a tummy-tuck & Lipo) you have nothing to say. So shut up,take your pear-shaped middle-aged Amish-woman's physique & go to the nearest gym & get on the nearest piece of cardio equipment & leave the contest to those on the board who have been onstage or are getting ready to get onstage,wanna-b. ::)

You should try Roman Chair sit-ups with a weight.  Again with a 25lb. plate.  This will hopefully bring out some blocks in your abs.  Observe....

I honeslty think you need to take a back seat to Mindspin.  You just need to say, "Mike, I'm sorry.  I thought I knew what I was doing.  I don't.  It's time for me to bow out."

Larry, I was fortunate enough not to "blow up" after my shows.  It was such drastic change for me, that I slowly gained the weight back after I competed.  I put on about 15lbs immediately, but it was gradual after that.  But the guys that I competed with (about 9 of us competed in the same shows) experienced just what you are talking about.  One guy ended up in the hospital, but it was because overdid it with eating high sodium foods and not drinking enough fluids.  His face was all bloated, and he said it hurt when he trained, even though he felt strong as an ox.

You lose a lot of water while dieting and you get flat.  If he increased carbs for just 3-5 days his weight would go up 10lbs I imagine, and he wouldn't look flat.

Weedouttheweak apparently has never dieted down and he's talking out of his ass.

Oh, I've got to hear this.  What's the bet?




If you live close to Fl. drive or fly,whatever. You come to the gym & show me you can bench 350 (you claim a 357 bench,if I'm not mistaken) , I'll give you 3000.00. You curl 180 (you said you could do 183) I'll give you 2000.00. I'll bring Mike A. down & he can hold the cash, & I'll pay 240 to come over & video-tape the event for the world to see.I will then get on Get Big & tell everyone your the man & proclaim myself full of sh*t. Here's the catch, on the bench-press,you have to do a proper bench. You can have a lift off ,but you must control it down & up. Touch & go,1 rep,no bench shirt, but you can wear your belt & I'll let you wrap your elbows.Also you have to keep your ass on the bench. On the curl, no momentum swings,but being as it's 180, you can slightly bend your back. Like I said 240 can videotape it & if there is any controversy it will be taped for everyone to see. You lose you give me 500.00 which I will use to pay 240 & Mike A. for their time. I put this on here for everyone to see instead of a pm so in case you say I try to back out on the bet, its in black & white .So if I am not honorable you can sue me. You should be able to get a flight roundtrip for  around 500max which I will re-imburse you for also. If you drive save your gas & meal receipts & I'll cover those too, it's in black & white ,so you have nothing to lose. In case your wondering about the $$, I'm part-owner of a family-owned jewelery store, so it's not a problem. So let's go Fat-boy, time to put up or shut up, I'm calling you out. Feel free to start w/the excuses at any time.I am 100% serious. Are you ready to back your trap up or are you just full of shit ?

lol..back in 2004 after the nabba nationals i gained 30lbs in two days!!!i felt so bad ,my hands and ankles were swollen,i couldn't stand to long because of the burning pain i would get in my lower back.as for training i would do one set and feel like i was going to explode.learnt my lesson, last year didn't go so crazy on the food right after the show and took a couple of weeks off training to let the water settle down.

If you live close to Fl. drive or fly,whatever. You come to the gym & show me you can bench 350 (you claim a 357 bench,if I'm not mistaken) , I'll give you 3000.00. You curl 180 (you said you could do 183) I'll give you 2000.00. I'll bring Mike A. down & he can hold the cash, & I'll pay 240 to come over & video-tape the event for the world to see.I will then get on Get Big & tell everyone your the man & proclaim myself full of sh*t. Here's the catch, on the bench-press,you have to do a proper bench. You can have a lift off ,but you must control it down & up. Touch & go,1 rep,no bench shirt, but you can wear your belt & I'll let you wrap your elbows.Also you have to keep your ass on the bench. On the curl, no momentum swings,but being as it's 180, you can slightly bend your back. Like I said 240 can videotape it & if there is any controversy it will be taped for everyone to see. You lose you give me 500.00 which I will use to pay 240 & Mike A. for their time. I put this on here for everyone to see instead of a pm so in case you say I try to back out on the bet, its in black & white .So if I am not honorable you can sue me. You should be able to get a flight roundtrip for  around 500max which I will re-imburse you for also. If you drive save your gas & meal receipts & I'll cover those too, it's in black & white ,so you have nothing to lose. In case your wondering about the $$, I'm part-owner of a family-owned jewelery store, so it's not a problem. So let's go Fat-boy, time to put up or shut up, I'm calling you out. Feel free to start w/the excuses at any time.I am 100% serious. Are you ready to back your trap up or are you just full of shit ?


Dude....is this an open invitation for anyone?

I'll do this!

Mike trust me, in your low-carbed mind ,I don't want you near 350. & weed I still think your full of sh*t, yeah I understand totally that the pic may not be you,but your still a nothing in my book, because if you were into the scene, you would not be trying to F' Mike up while he's getting ready for a show, because you would understand what he's going though. So in my mind you & the guy in the pic are close to the same if not the same. All your doing is continually lying, so nothing coming out of your mouth is anywhere near the truth.

Also, I am not trying to mess Mike up.  W/ a loss of 30lbs he should not look like that.  I was being honest.  Mike still has time to correct a few things.  You're the one fucking him up you prick.

Please weed, in all seriousness, enlighten us, tell us how you can be so vastly knowledgeable on BB'ing & look like a pile of sh*t. We are all waiting, tell us, oh great Disciple of Joe Weider. Now here's a question for those who've actually been on-stage, Mind-spin, Freak , Colussius, & anyone else I've left out. Remember, after the show when you went back to the gym? Do you guys remember getting so friggin pumped it was actually painful?& how quick it happened.


Here's a freebie, I wouldn't have him take so many shakes in.  That's the only Freebie you get. Let's see some of that 5k, and I'll give up some more info  (you can even play it off as your own).

Mike -

Props - you're actually starting to have abs!

But you have lost a lot of size - if you've time, maybe slow down on your diet a bit.

Have you lost STRENGTH?

I always found that a reliable way to tell if I was losing muscle (until the last 1-2 weeks of course when you're power goes way down.)

Mike, don't sweat the muscle loss.  It's your first show.  Just get the process of preparation down.  It's not gonna be perfect the first time around.  I probably lost about 10-15lbs more than I needed to, but it was my first time competing.   Same as you.   Much props to you and Larry.  Keep on getting it, bro!

 No shit dumbass, but Mike himself will tell you how hard it is for him to eat.Not that I have to explain a F'ing thing to you wiseass, but I have told Mike on several occasions I did not want him to live on shakes ,but thats better than not getting enough protein. What am suppose to do force-feed him?, If you would have asked instead of being a know-it-all-ass-hole I would have told you. Where were you when Mike decided to do the show? Did you offer to help w/your vast knowledge? No , you just want to sit back & be a F'ing know-it-all & proclaim your so called "greatness". I offered to help Mike & explained to him that I was far from being an "expert" unlike yourself. All I had to go by is what I've done to prepare for shows.All the other guys who have competed like MS, Freak & Colossus,ect.have all been supportive,except you the "Joe Weider "of the board. I said your an asshole & I stand by that.Just a thought, I'll be with Mike at the show June 10th if you'd like to meet me & discuss this on a more personal level.I do not mean this as an internet threat, I told you before,unlike yourself, I do not know everything,but I am willing to listen to anyone who has such  "unfathomable Knowledge" such as yourself, ass-lick. Like I keep stating as far as I'm concerned your just a F'ing know-it-all wannabe.

Now you're beginning to what what it's like to be 'carb depleted'  haha.  Don't worry your muscle fullness and strength will spike back up once you increase carbs to a good amount.

Because LLES has his body in a catabolic state. 

Unfortunatly (without being a smartass) that's exactly whats happening. He started out at 300lbs and is 240lbs with 11 weeks to go. LLES, you cannot expect someone to be in this state for so long with still 11 weeks to go, he's sacrificing too much muscle. You need to load him up once in a while (at least once a week) or his metabolism will come to a stop and start using muscle for energy (like it's doing now). Losing 85-90lbs for a show after someone's been training for 10+ years is not realistic.....he holds more muscle than that!!

Tell me when he was 300? Mike started around the 270 mark & all he did for the first couple of weeks was clean up his diet. I understand what your saying, but he's lost around 30lbs not 60. Also ,I'm not continuously holding his carbs down, he's suppose to bring them up  at least twice a week right now. I'm looking at Mike in person about once a week or every 2wks right now to see how he's looking & change up if & when needed .When he gets 8wks out ,I will see him once a week minimum to monitor him more closely.

Wow, just took a stroll through this thread. What a difference you have made Mike; the loss of weight has made your face strikingly different. Well done on all the hard work you have done to get to this point, as well as sacrificing all that tastes good (an effort that is beyond me  ;)). Best for the tough upcoming weeks and show'em that us older guys have still got something under the hood.

Intense, I was the one who was actually close to 300 before I competed.  Was up around 280 and dieted for 9 months.  Not really dieting strict for 9 months, but the first half or so I just cleaned up my diet just like Larry is doing with Mike.  I think Mike's gonna fill out more as he gets closer to the show.

LOL...this thread is 37 pages long, but I thought I remember Mike (or maybe someone else) saying he was around 300 when he started. And I didn't realize he was cycling his carb intake...sorry, I haven't been following this everyday. Unlike some of the clowns on here I want to see Mike do well!

It's very difficult to make any judgements on Mike's condition from the pics.  Not only is the lighting shitty on most of them, but the angles/lighting vary greatly on the comparison pics.  So, since LLES is the only one seeing him in person, he's the onlyone who can make any real assesments.  

I would continue hard & fast on the low carbs & cardio until about 8 weeks out.  At that point maybe back of cardio & up carbs for 1-2 weeks to get a rebound, get some muscle back and still have 5-6 weeks to burn remaining fat before the show.  Just a thought...

On different note, Weed - who is the guy with Jay in the pic you posted.  I swear I've seen him before...

Agree with Mindspin here.  Also, just my opinion, but there is no need to be only taking 32 grams of carbs right now.  Unless you are on some carb cycle and this is a low day.  I wouldn't maintain my carbs this low, this far out.

I don't know as much about contest dieting as MS or LLES but that doesn't look like much food for a man of Mike's size. He is going to loose too much lean body mass with his cals that low. Why not add some green vegetables as well. I would ave him eating egg whites and spinage rather than the protein alone. This would help is body digest and use that protein and it well make him feel a lot better. I also agree that he needs some more healthy fats.

Electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate (there are others too).  They're found in fruits and vegetables, and a bunch of other foods.

"The balance of the electrolytes in our bodies is essential for normal function of our cells and our organs."

Pedialyte is high in electrolytes,  They help keep you hydrated.

Ahhhh.. the wise 16yr  old speaks...
another reason that remedial special education kids should not be given access to a computer..

don't be a fool... stay in school...


Electrolyte is a "medical/scientific" term for salts, specifically ions. The term electrolyte means that this ion is electrically-charged and moves to either a negative (cathode) or positive (anode) electrode:
ions that move to the cathode (cations) are positively charged
ions that move to the anode (anions) are negatively charged
For example, your body fluids -- blood, plasma, interstitial fluid (fluid between cells) -- are like seawater and have a high concentration of sodium chloride (table salt, or NaCl). The electrolytes in sodium chloride are:
sodium ion (Na+) - cation
chloride ion (Cl-) - anion
As for your body, the major electrolytes are as follows:

sodium (Na+)
potassium (K+)
chloride (Cl-)
calcium (Ca2+)
magnesium (Mg2+)
bicarbonate (HCO3-)
phosphate (PO42-)
sulfate (SO42-)

Electrolytes are important because they are what your cells (especially nerve, heart, muscle) use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses (nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other cells. Your kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in your blood constant despite changes in your body. For example, when you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant. So, many sports drinks have sodium chloride or potassium chloride added to them. They also have sugar and flavorings to provide your body with extra energy and to make the drink taste better.
Another example where electrolyte drinks are important is when infants/children have chronic vomiting or diarrhea, perhaps due to intestinal flu viruses. When children vomit or have diarrhea, they lose electrolytes. Again, these electrolytes and the fluids must be replaced to prevent dehydration and seizures. Therefore, drinks such as Pedialyte have sodium and potassium in them like the sports drinks do. However, pediatricians do not recommend giving sports drinks to a sick child! Sports drinks have much higher sugar concentrations than Pedialyte and the high sugar is not a proper treatment.

Electrolytes are important because they are what your cells (especially nerve, heart, muscle) use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses (nerve impulses, muscle contractions) across themselves and to other cells. Your kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in your blood constant despite changes in your body. For example, when you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant. So, many sports drinks have sodium chloride or potassium chloride added to them. They also have sugar and flavorings to provide your body with extra energy and to make the drink taste better.
Another example where electrolyte drinks are important is when infants/children have chronic vomiting or diarrhea, perhaps due to intestinal flu viruses. When children vomit or have diarrhea, they lose electrolytes. Again, these electrolytes and the fluids must be replaced to prevent dehydration and seizures. Therefore, drinks such as Pedialyte have sodium and potassium in them like the sports drinks do. However, pediatricians do not recommend giving sports drinks to a sick child! Sports drinks have much higher sugar concentrations than Pedialyte and the high sugar is not a proper treatment.

the wise 16 year old.   lol....k, i already said that i was told wrong by mmy chemistry teacher obviously....and nice copy and pste skills. jackasss.


but what im getting...is still that electrolytes are a type of calorie.

Unless you can post a competition pic, shut the fuck up.  Win, lose or draw, he is getting onstage for the first time at the ripe old age of 40 something.  Do you really expect him to look like Coleman?

Candidate,

Either your teacher is an idiot or more likely, simply failed to properly communicate his knowledge resulting in your misunderstanding - or you weren't paying attention in class.

Open up your textbook and read the definitions for "calorie" and "electrolyte".

I'd trust a textbook over a high school teacher any day of the week.

Don't be lazy.

Hang in there, Mike.  I don't know if this will help, but I convinced myself at crucial points of depletedness that taking a whiff of chocolate or just smelling sweets would suffice.  So I got to a point when I wasn't offended or upset if my co-workers ate dessert while we were out to lunch and I was eating my homemade grub or order double-triple chicken salads with little to no dressing. 

my staple was canned tuna with fat-free italian dressing.

Hey mike, at first I didn't tought you would really put your fat ass on a diet and actually follow the plan but you proved me wrong !
Your are in the right direction mike and LLES seems to know what he is doing.
I tought you were loosing a lot of mass but no wonder you are as flat as a pancake with your carbs that low. Can't wait to see what you look like when you'll put some carbs in that body.

good job !

That would have been too much torture .

No problem Mike! Keep it up bro. I know it's a hard road that requires 24 hour attention. Most of it is mental. And I think you got that down. The rest is "gravy".

Keep up those BCAA's. They help a lot.

Not to get off topic, but I need to respond to this.  No professional bodybuilder would stand a chance on a pro, or even college (except maybe D-III), D-line.  Not only do they lack sufficient size (body builders are way too short) and speed (for DE or LB), they lack the necessary skill (of which there is a lot more than most people seem to realize).  If any of them could succeed at football, they would have pursued football.

bodybuilders arent short as a whole....jay ronnie gunter gustavo freeman taylor..and plenty more all good height. speed comes from leg strenght and im sure that all bodybuilders would get off the line quicker and more powerful than d-line in the nfl.     theres not too much skill needed if you can just throw the guy to the side.

Mike you want to be able to eat those pancakes almost right up to the show?

Here is a tip ;)

take a dozen egg whites
couple of scoups of (soy protein isolate)this stuff can be bought for dirt cheap at Honeyville grain inc(do a search) i bought 4 pounds for just over $13...stuff is like flour but all protein ZERO carbs almost ZERO FAT...Works just like flour

put it in a frying pan....just like you would pancakes and cook same way...For toppings use all natural PB and spray "i can't believe its not butter" waldon farms makes a no fat--no sugar--no anything syrup....

try it out.......Soy Protein Isolate is the shit for this kind of stuff...

its all good bro, college is rough, I always look forward to some getbig fun on some of my free time on the weekends not spend studying or palying soccer  ;)
But you're still a dipshit for some of the shit you ttalked with that account..I could care less if u fooled people about your identity all day, infact I thought it was pretty cool that u pulled it off but u were kind of a jackass about it too.

Hi Everyone,

I am working on the side by side comparison pictures.  Here is back lat spread comparison.




Also, we would like to take a minute and thank Larry (LLES), Emma and Shauna (of course, such a cutie pie) for all their help and gracious hospitality.  We were over their house last night, had dinner, great conversation and went over the mandatories.  They are truly great people and have become good friends.

I would also like to mention Emma has a kickin BB/Figure/Fitness body (dayum  ;)).  I could only wish to be half as fit.  She has competed in the past and I am still in awe of the pictures she showed us.  She is also training for a show as well, so I would like to especially thank her for taking the time to work with us in getting Michael ready for his show.

You need to pull your chest way up when hitting that front lat spread.  You'll look alot fuller and it will give your waist that tappered look.  Althought it does look like your crunching down on your abs in that FLS.  I would give both looks to the judges.  Start with chest up with your waist vaccumed.  Then cruch down on your abs and try to keep your lats flared the best you can with the second pose.  JMO.

Mike you want to be able to eat those pancakes almost right up to the show?

Here is a tip ;)

take a dozen egg whites
couple of scoups of (soy protein isolate)this stuff can be bought for dirt cheap at Honeyville grain inc(do a search) i bought 4 pounds for just over $13...stuff is like flour but all protein ZERO carbs almost ZERO FAT...Works just like flour

put it in a frying pan....just like you would pancakes and cook same way...For toppings use all natural PB and spray "i can't believe its not butter" waldon farms makes a no fat--no sugar--no anything syrup....

try it out.......Soy Protein Isolate is the shit for this kind of stuff...

huh???  ???
Evistra is a prescription medication for treatment of osteoporosis in women after menopause. Evistra is not an estrogen or a hormone instead it helps build bone without negatively affecting the breast or uterus. Evistra prevents osteoporosis by making your bones stronger and less likely to break.

Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases that occur in women after menopause. Some of the factors that cause osteoporosis are early menopause, smoking, drinking, and a diet low in calcium, or osteoporosis in the family. If you are one of those women, who are afraid to suffer from bone fracture then Evistra is the drug for you. It reduces bone loss and increases bone density. This medicine is not likely to raise the risk of cancer.

Instead some of the side effects of Evistra are quite positive such as it lowers LDL “bad” cholesterol. It does not affect HDL "good" cholesterol. Evistra is one of the best medications for osteoporosis and it increase normal healthy bone formation in patients.

Mike, look into ATD. 1. it's legal 2. its cheap, you can get it for $20 at giantnutrition.net or at another online store as rebound xt by Designer Supplements. It got rid of some gyno I got during puberty. I ran it at 50 mg every night. Just becareful because its a very potent anti-estrogen and it absolutely crushed my sex drive.

I am unfamiliar with Androbolix, but 6-OXO is a very good product. I have used 6-OXO a little bit before (its one of the few legal test-boosters/AE's that work), but trust me if you are trying to get rid of gyno, ATD is the bee's knees. I got results within the first few days when I was using it at around 100-75mg daily. It also gave me some nice strength increases. The only downsides I got was the sex drive. PM gammahydroxy about it, I believe he has used it (and he knows his shit). Heres the cheapest I can find it:
http://www.giantnutrition.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=39&osCsid=e6bb63a0148b69575163b63d6d9ad603 but like I said Rebound XT and Novedex XT by Gaspari are both good name brand versions of it.

Talk about a shitty video production!  It's hard to say since you're not really hitting any poses but clearly you've dropped a lot BF and I don't think you've lost as much muscle as everyone keeps saying.  

But, you still have a long way to go.  Check your lower ab skin thickness.  You're gonna want to shoot for it being as thin as the skin on the back of your hand...that's IFBB ripped!  For the kind of show you're doing you might get away with it being as thin as the skin over your chest.  

Keep pushing.  Don't cheat on your diet.  Keep lifiting heavy.  Pose every day.  Keep the cardio going.  And rest as much as you can.  That's it!

Honestly if I were you I would do something different each workout to keep your muscles guessing and to kill the bordom.  Remember to do both seated and standing calf raises each training session if your not already doing that.  Calves can be a b*tch to get, but if you bust your ass they might look pretty good even thought you have long legs.  Makes me glad I'm kind of a shorty.

Talk about a shitty video production!  It's hard to say since you're not really hitting any poses but clearly you've dropped a lot BF and I don't think you've lost as much muscle as everyone keeps saying.  

But, you still have a long way to go.  Check your lower ab skin thickness.  You're gonna want to shoot for it being as thin as the skin on the back of your hand...that's IFBB ripped!  For the kind of show you're doing you might get away with it being as thin as the skin over your chest.  

Keep pushing.  Don't cheat on your diet.  Keep lifiting heavy.  Pose every day.  Keep the cardio going.  And rest as much as you can.  That's it!


 ok...................... ...great advice (havent been posing)
  not to blame anyone but......"someone" made a few meals for me with only 36 grams of protein instead of the 45 - 50 i need per meal,i gotta stay on top of that shit!!
even if it means making ALL  my own food
 this is tough ..im not going to lie


 i got yelled at  ........... :(


"Nope spoke too soon. 10am & 5pm, protein to low, 50-65 ( I can live w/the 72
gram shake) EVERY MEAL MIKE,wassa matter u!!!!!!!!Jeez,you get right to the
point of perfection & BAM!!!!!!!! you "F" up You have to have "X" amount of
protein every meal,no exceptions!! If you have to eat a half of a chicken
breast,just get what you need,ok.

Don't blame Laura for not getting your meals right!  F*CK MAN THIS IS YOUR SHOW NOT HER'S!  Make sure YOU get all your protein.  Don't go blaming other people when it's YOUR deal.

Your lucky to even have someone making your meals for you.  I had NOBODY!  It's was all me 24/7.  Count your blessings Mike.

You have to practice holding your poses longer.  Starting at the 12-week mark, I would do each pose 3 times and hold each for a minute (5x per week).  I think it may have helped me bring out detail...who knows.  But it definitely helped me learn how to hit a pose hard, while making it seem effortless...

 ::)  Concerning the 'leg jiggling'.... Meh.  Monkey see, monkey do.  That's all it is.  You see it in amateur sports all the time.  Young kids playing basketball... practicing Jordan's patented style, hanging their tongues out of their mouths.  Sure, the thought of "Who do you think you are?" comes to mind sometimes.  It's all relative though... if your legs are more massive than all the other guys on stage come game day... F#ck it.. jiggle all you want IMO.

Looks like you're coming along fairly good with your diet mang. Seems like you're doing a sensible diet which has allowed you to keep your metabolism fairly high.

You got a healthy look. Keep it up.

What impresses me most Mike, is that when you came to this board with "an attitude", you went through months of bashing from most of us scumbags here (a few of us really pissed U off, hehe), yet you still never gave up and now you're more like our board mascot ;D I think MANY people will be crossing fingers for you to do well in your show and in your prep!
You also seems to have lost that attitude you used to have, and replacing it with being more realistic and doing something to improve the reality (something tells me that Laura has had a positive impact on you ;) ). I also sense that the same persistence you had here when we all were making fun of you, is present in your BB effort, you seem to be more dedicated than most people who does their first show, and I'm sure that you'll learn some useful lessons that you can apply to the next show you'll do (I assume that this ain't the only show you'll do ;) )

Just be careful with the clen, to much of it is NOT good ;D

So, there U got it, the old "Arvilla bashing" DF is long gone, and now this rant is over!

DF  :-* :-*

Ha!  That was a good thread full of "ownings", "meltdowns", photoshopping and threats of bodily harm...LOL!  I've tried to find someone else to "Arvillify", but it just hasn't been the same...

You are working so hard and with such dedication. It's super but there are 2 things that are patently obvious here:

1) You need to refeed now! 5,000 cals, maintenance protein only, 6g EPA/DHA after each carb meal, the rest high GI carbs of mostly glucose(maltodextrin/dextrose-starches), keep fiber lowish, allow a little sucrose/fructose (also fish oils to your everyday diet, plus a touch of sat fat from animal meat sources). Spread the 5g refeeds over two multiple meal days. You must reset things acutely right now. Yes, you are losing fat, but the rate of muscle loss is concomittantly high; unacceptably high especially considering you are not molecularly "unassisted" here. I'm just being honest. Whoever is managing you needs to address your chronically depressed leptin levels. Honestly, just two days once will not be enough to carry you for the next 8 or whatever weeks you have left, but I understand the phobia that can set in. i.e. You will have to repeat the refeed at least one day a week up until the last 1-2 week, and that is only to absolutely side step any gastrointestinal upset, or food reactions that may occur. It has nothing to do with gaining of fat. You will not gain fat, only water and only for a short time (1-2 days). You are taking 1.1 steps forward and 1.0 step back currently. That just is not acceptable. You have great conviction, you deserve an equipotent result.

2) Your wife is very supportive and loyal. That is great. I am very envious, honestly.

AGB is making lots of sense.

I would suggest reading his post, and discussing it with whoever is designing your diet. Just remember to drink a lot of water, and enough salt to balance the electrolytes, while doing the refeed. When getting the carbs down, drink at least 2 grams of water for each gram of carb.

The refeed could start in the afternoon, and end the next evening. And don't train during the refeed.

DO NOT TRAIN.

I would also suggest doing this refeed maybe once in the next coming days, then again in 12-18 days, but that is of course where your diet coach knows best.

But AGB is making a lot sense IMO.

You won't get fat if refeeding. Make sure to stay low on protein AND FATS.

That front bi shot is good as well. V-taper is coming nicely, shoulders and arms are now freakier than in fat-mode.

You must be feeling good about this transformation.

IT is supposed to "eat away" at existing gyno,and prevent estrogen conversion ie: gyno from occuring

how well it works  remains to be seen (there are "real drugs " for this purpose as well)

I'm looking at Arvilla's body


check out the mindspin transformation picks...ARvilla is substantially fatter now then Mindspin is in his before picture

vs.

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=51475.0;attach=74609;image)

Do you think Mike is leaner then mindspin here?  How much weight do you think that Mindspin had to lose to go from the before to the after picture?

Well guess what Mike will have to lose even more weight because Mike is also a lot taller then Mindspin which means that that thicker layer of bodyfat extends over a larger body.  This means he will have to lose even more weight then mindspin did.

I'm just trying to help mike avoid looking like vince goodrum onstage.  With his bodyfat where it is now, he will have 0 seperation on stage.

Mike's show is sometime in mid-June I believe.  That's still about 8 weeks away; right now he looks about 10-12% bodyfat so he's got enough time to dial in at about 6% come contest day.

vs.

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=51475.0;attach=74609;image)

Do you think Mike is leaner then mindspin here?  How much weight do you think that Mindspin had to lose to go from the before to the after picture?

Well guess what Mike will have to lose even more weight because Mike is also a lot taller then Mindspin which means that that thicker layer of bodyfat extends over a larger body.  This means he will have to lose even more weight then mindspin did.

I'm just trying to help mike avoid looking like vince goodrum onstage.  With his bodyfat where it is now, he will have 0 seperation on stage.

-sS
sS, Yemini didn't have to start working towards a contest in the same shape or the same age as Michael.  Yem also has a different set of genetics.  Yes, Mindspin had to work real hard to get onto stage, Michael has to work that much harder due to the fact that he doesn't have the genetics and started out with 30% bf.  No one is saying Michael is Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, etc. but you do have to recognize and respect the changes he has made with his body.  He looks damn good and not only will look awesome on stage, I know he's going make all getbiggers very proud come June 10th.  He already makes me very proud.

I learned one thing on Arvilla's website...


He is the owner of the world's ugliest shower curtain.
and what's wrong with it?

Mike's show is sometime in mid-June I believe.  That's still about 8 weeks away; right now he looks about 10-12% bodyfat so he's got enough time to dial in at about 6% come contest day.

If Arvilla is a LEGIT 7-8% come contest time, then he should be very happy.

I will be very impressed if he gets that low.

Worry about your own damn x-mas tree.   You don't see abs here (and that's relaxed)?  You are fucking blind.
2nd shot shows them as well.  He still has over 7 weeks left.

Honestly I don't see abs anywhere.  I do however, see loose blubbery skin in his lower abdomen.  Sorry that his upsets you :-\

whoa Arvilla you look smaller than me and I'm under 155.  Maybe it's because you're so tall it's hard for you to fill out your frame.  I guess I'm being too hard on you, considering that you're 6'4" and lifetime natural you're decently thick.  I guess most naturals like you at this tall height look even worse.  I think the expectations are set too high for tall naturals.


so Sherri you're right I'm holding him to an unfair standard.  Mindspin is well under 6'0" and juiced aND Arvilla is 6'4" and natural so they really should not be compared.

Yes, Mike looks greatly improved. It is because his dipshit nutritionist finally remitted and added an extra steak to each of his daily meals. That actually resulted in extra carbohydrates as his body underwent facilitated gluconeogenesis from the excess protein summed from his previous baseline protein intake and the newly added protein from his steaks. Fine. It's an expensive, inefficient way to do it, but at least he got his carbs. Whatever. At least we are all now seeing the results of what some of us have been prostelytizing for months. Congratulations.

oh well you should take it as a great compliment then that you look shorter.  Cause it's not like you are ever standing next to anyone else in your pics, the only thing I have to go on is your proportions, which means that your width is dwarfing your height.

Arvilla has to try to overcome a 6'4" height to look wide, that's tough.  I bet if tried gear he could put on some quality mass.

Bast I know you have bad blood with Arvilla, but be fair, yes you are more muscular than him but you are also only 5'7".  Arvilla is 6'4" and it is very hard to get muscular at that height without steroids.  It's hard to be a tall BBer and Arvilla has taken on the challenge without any help from drugs. 

Arvilla you keep up the hard work you might never look like the freaks that you admire so much but at least you will be natural and know that you earned every pound.

Bast I know you have bad blood with Arvilla, but be fair, yes you are more muscular than him but you are also only 5'7".  Arvilla is 6'4" and it is very hard to get muscular at that height without steroids.  It's hard to be a tall BBer and Arvilla has taken on the challenge without any help from drugs. 

Arvilla you keep up the hard work you might never look like the freaks that you admire so much but at least you will be natural and know that you earned every pound.

I was implying he's not natural.  Why would you just assume that?  ::)

Alright Bast you're taking this too far, just because you fought with Arvilla doesn't mean you should go around and accuse him of using gear.  It's obvious from looking at him that he is natural, his muscle size is very moderate, compared to his frame it is much less than you even and you're natural right??  Unless you're one of those dudes that thinks that Brad Pitt was juiced in fight club I don't see why you would say Arvilla was juiced.  Maybe I should stop arguing because I don't know if I can overcome your bias against Arvilla, but let me try just one more argument.  If Arvilla is juiced why is it that his arms are smaller than most naturals on the board, steroids are supposed to cause great gains in arm mass.  So if Arvilla is juiced why are his arms so small?  Try explaining that one.

Arvilla I can see why you got mad at this guy with all of the nonsense he is talking about you.

Mike - I don't brief strolls through the park are going to be enough to sufficiently burn any real fat.  You need to get on a treadmill or stepmill and consistently get 45-60 minutes 2x per day.  That's what it took for me to get diced...

I would recommend stepmill or elliptical.

Treadmill is a third choice but at a very brisk speed & high elevation.

I totally agree.  Last summer while preparing for a Yosemite hike, I did the stepmill for 60mins/day, 6 days/week.  My calves grew a 1/2 inch and I was not training them!

From what I see, it does not look like Mike has lost to much musclesize either, he's MUCH leaner than he was at the biggest,  so the so called "muscleloss" that many people here talk about don't seem to be so radical at all. Has he kept most of his strength?

With 6 weeks to go, I think Mike's on the route to make the people who never thought he could do this to eat their own negative fucking words ;D

tell me mike.. are you gonna swell up to the fat bastard you was before?

you may have lost some serious size .. but you look a whole lot healthier. you really have taken out 'the garbage' !  ;)

i would suggest after the comp you go on a stellar androgen cycle and regain lean mass slowly .. you actually resemble someone who is athletic at the mo rather than the dumpy , shapeless sack of spuds you was before.

You look all right for your age.  The pink fat girl bathing suit has got to go though.  To clarify you are NOT fat, but those bottoms are usually worn by girls trying to cover a larger ass.  Not saying you should wear a thong, but at least a normal bikini.

There were when I was there. Maybe I'm just used to Canada.

On another note, Mike what does your arm workout entail? This is a lagging bodypart of mine for a while.  I noticed your arms are your strong point.  Would you suggest hitting them twice in a week with or would that be overtraining?  High/LOw rep range, mix?? It's hard for me to lift high rep because that means less weight and no fun.

my arms were tinyyyyyyyyyyyy  when i started lifting weights,i got em up over 20" cold after many many years of hard training
twice a week never worked for me (actually made em smaller i thought/due to overtraining)
once a week...............blitz the shit outta them!!
heavy basic excersises
skull crushers,ez-curl bar bicep curls
dumbell alt curls
heavy pressdowns
2 hand dumbell extensions (overhead)
7 and 7's for biceps (a killer!!)
never was into the fancy shit..............dumbel l kickbacks,not a whole lotta cables either

free weights ........................ ..that's it!

That is a "hand-off" exercise.  
Basically you take a barbell:
do one rep, pass off, do a count of one,
take back, do two reps, pass off, do a count of two,
take back, do three reps, pass off, do a count of three,
take back, do four reps, pass off, do a count of four,
take back, do five reps, pass off, do a count of five,
take back, do six reps, pass off, do a count of six,
take back, do seven reps, then pass off, do a count of seven
then work your way back down in reps (id: 6,5,4,3,2,1).  

It is an exhausting exercise and you must choose your weight carefully as there is not a lot of time in-between to relax.

  I'd have to go with Nic Fanciulli or Sander K.  I like the electro prog.

Depends on what you are looking for. Boston def has a nightlife but it is not on par with cities like NY, LA ,MIAMI or Chicago. Boston is more a place of them small ultra lounge type club. There are a few superclubs such as Avalon and the Roxy that the really large djs go to. Tiesto, Armin Van buran etc etc. There are tons of smaller clubs (hold about 600) people that are alot of fun. Really trendy type shit. Nothing like Manchand or Opium garden etc etc. The population of Boston swells  when 200,000 plus students come in for all the colleges in and surrounding the city. So there are endless hot girls and bars/clubs to go to. If you are ever in the city of Boston shoot me a p.m ill hook u up with some people.

Hey Mike, have you noticed something?
Practically EVERY person who's ever bashed you earlier in the famous Arvilla thread, and in more recent times are now giving you praise for your accomplishments. It's not just about the amazing physical transformation you've made through hard work, but your way of being has obviously changed, and you've lost the "ego" and become more realistic and done something about it. I'd never think we'd see this day where me, Yemeni, Bast, Freeagain and others who used to talk down to ya now are praising you, good work Mike, you've changed it all around in just a few months. Nothing stand a chance against a firm decision and work ethic to back it up!

DF

ps: Now all that's left is that LSD and the rest of the Mr.Eyebrow crew returns here to be shocked, and get Grace to make a post as well ;D

ok..............STOP

second "tearing up moment" of the night has just occured!

Mike.....

train legs heavy, explosive, & with a lot of reps.....take a quick breath.....repeat.


You want to train them with so much intensity....that they'll have to wheel you out of the gym.


Years back when I used to train with a lot more intensity....leg day was the worse.

I used to drive a standard & on leg day....i'd be sitting in the parking lot for 20-30 minutes after my workout trying to get my legs to quit shaking when I pressed down the clutch.

Those days were painful...but fun!

Hmm....perhaps at this point in the game it's not the right time, but you need to start throwing more weight around in squats.  You should not be bench pressing more than you're squating.  Oh, and none of this smith machin, six spotter Tamali bullshit.

Mike, gotta question for you.  Now that you're preppin for a show are you one of those 1st-time competitors that suddenly begins to train louder and talk louder in the gym?   It's been my experience that virtually every new competitor suddenly begins to talk louder than they ever have before while in the gym, they chat on their cell phone constantly, always brings 1 or 2 lackey friends to fetch plates and act as glorified hype men.   Although, the most unique feature about new competitors is definitely the increase in voice volume.   Before ever engagin in any competitive program they all spoke at a normal voice volume...let's say 4-5 on a scale of 10.....now that they're preppin and especially after they've competed their new "normal" voice volume is an 8 on a scale of 10.   

Now, please tell me you're not one of those loud talkin competitors?   They used to train relatively silently, but now they enter for a workout with one of their "hype crew" and it's always something like: "What's it gonna be today Joey?  Big chest day?  ALRIGHT BIG JOEY....BIG CHEST DAY TODAY!!!  WHEW!!  ALRIGHT!!!  LET'S DO THIS BIG JOEY!!  WHATCHA THINK?  225 FOR 12 FOR STARTERS?!!!  WHEW, LET'S DO THIS!!  YEAH, BIG CHEST BABY!!  GOOD STRETCH BABY!!  BIG CHEST!!!"   


For the love of all things good....please tell me you're not one of those fuggin assclowns.

I agree with Mindspin.....

your squat should crush your BP.


You need to train your legs so hard that they shake & quiver just standing on them.  In between sets your legs should be sooo fatigued that you have to sit down.

No mercy Mike....this is where you have to get mean with yourself.

Lookin great big dog!  If I may make a recomendation that has helped me in the last 3 weeks it would be to use the gauntlet for your cardio, if I remember you do already.  I put it only on level 4 (manual) and really try to focus on squeezing my quads for 30 seconds followed by 1-2min of normal walking, 1hr.  My quad seperation has improved greatly.  Bring up the quads a little, squeeze all leg movements, carb up and your dialed in!!! ;)

  I can not speak for every one but I can say you look great and have made a wonderful transformation.  Your legs are starting to shap up and I notice you got your self a few viens now as well.
 
 No matter how you place at your show I think your transformation is a
accomplishment in it's self and you should be very proud. Your whole transformation has been very motivating and inspirtional.

                       Good Luck   ;D

Mike.......the newest pics and video look great.  Your posing is much improved from when you started.  Sugguestion....when practicing your posing, hit the pose and hold it for like 20 seconds.  Just have cheri call out the manditories and hold them for 20 sec.

This will condition you for on stage, I noticed in the video, you tend to hit a pose and hold if for like 2 seconds.  There might be alot of people in your class, and the judges will be pissed if your not holding your poses.

That was just to get em all done in under a minute (time limit on the camera).  When he practices (and when we take regular pictures) I make him hold them.   ;)

   It was just what? A few months ago that you were posting pictures of yourself at the lake and Freakzilla was ripping you apart for being fat, out of shape and that you'd be 200lbs max if it came to being in shape.

Soak it up bro, especially doing all this for the first time at 40.

WOW!!!! Dramatic conditioning!!!  What are your stats (height/weight)?  I give it up to you and big Mike!!!  I'm going to Cancun this week, when I get back it's time for me to put up or shut up with some photos.  No contests though.  I found out by dieting too hard too quick that I need to put on about 15-20lbs, from 245 down to 210 :o :o :o :-[ ;D ;D ;D!!!

We all know the correct placement for Michaels legs is one leg flexed for quad presentation and one foot up Freaks ass.   ;D

Finally the fat Arvilla is gone.

Mr 25+ % BF - NO MORE!

Your transformation is impressive.

Perhaps one day you'll be able to place in some local contest. That would be really impressive.

But the major thing is actually this first step. Slaying the "size" dragon.

Good on ya.

It's funny last night i was telling Laura the people i liked and thought were my friends
(240, freakzilla,zack)
have been the most critical and harshest
(i really thought freak would be helping me big -time seeing as i had never competed before and he had!)
then i got guys like LLES,JIMMY MENTIS,VINNY GALANTI,RHINO,BIG ANT,LITTLEGUNS,HASBEENS,BDYY88,and lot's of others offering all kinds of great advice/ideas
the debacle over the blue stars was just absurd!

im not the same person i was before starting this...............this has humbled me greatly
i would like to thank everyone publicly for there support
i love most of you guys!
time for cardio.................. ..............peace!

Since you asked...

Yes, you look much better. Yes, you did "use" to do it.  Sure, your upper body looks great.  Sure, your legs are still 3 years behind them. And your transformation is impressive, but not groundbreaking- there are hundreds of competitors on getbig who do the same thing. 

Dude, there are plenty of strangers who will say things that feel good, but the tough and honest words are the ones you should listen to most.  Keep it in perspective.  When I want honest opinions about something, I come to getbig, not the woman- cause you'll never get an objective view at home.  None of us will!

So yes, you look much better man.  You changed for the positive.  Compete if you'd like.  But when you come on gossip/opinions, you'll get opinions, good and bad.  The tough criticism is worth much more to you, while it's much harder to take.  We only grow after we've faced reality and seen our flaws and attacked them.  There are a million ppl in the world to pat you on the back and say "NICE JOB!".  But you don't grow from hearing you're "already there".  You grow from identifying weaknesses and addressing them.  Peace.

ahhhhhhh the KING of backhanded compliments.  Well, he didn't ask you fuckface but since you offered your worthless 1 cent, please stfu until you know what you are talking about.  You are the last person on this board who should be offering opinions, whether good or bad.  Come back and talk about lifting after you have actually lifted a weight.  You meaningless banter with Pro's is just another pathetic way for you to get your much needed attention. 

Michael has made a tremendous transformation in both his body and attitude regarding bodybuilding and bodybuilders, but seeing that you could never obtain such, it is quite sad that you will never see that side of the fence.  And therefor you will never respect anyone else for doing so.  I think they call that "jealousy".  So just keep sitting behind that computer screen posting your "stupid ass shots" Rob.  We're all real interested in what you have to say. ::)

2) Thank you.
3) You lift weights?  And when do you do this?  You are on getbig almost 18 hours a day, you do sleep I imagine during those other six hours, Don't you?  You say you are married and have a baby on the way, so when do you have the time to lift?
4) You don't like Michael, 240.  Who do you think are you kidding?  You liked him while you were building his site and then you turned after it was all done and you felt you weren't needed anymore.  You emailed him asking him to have your back (because others were insulting you), while in return you throw out your half-ass backwards compliments.  He really doesn't need your kind of comments Rob.  You either have constructive critizism or you applaud him for what he has done not tell him his legs are 3 years behind his upper body.

And you may have nothing to say to me, and I couldn't care less, but I can promise you that I have plenty to say to you each time I think you are outta bounds with your comments, regardless of who they are to.

Okay.  Are you saying his legs are at the same level of his upper body?  If not, how many months/years are they behind? I'd guess 3 years, give or take.

Cheri, he has made a tremendous transformation.  He will do well onstage at his first show.  But he does lack the leg development to match his upper body.  This is not an attack on you, or him.  It is an evaluation of pics he has posted. His calves and biceps do not yet match, by a mile.

240, Mike is aware that his legs don't match his upperbody, but when dieting there is nothing you can do about that.  The goal is to avoid losing muscle when you're calories are so restricted.    I agree that you're being objective and not hateful but bringing that up doesn't make much sense at this point.

no i wasn't

point was of all the people on get-big i counted Rob as one of the people i truly considered a "friend"
(as much as one can be a friend online)

then thru all of this he never said not one word until very recently
if the tables were turned i would be like "Rob you need any help?"
i would go to his show
i would be excited for him
for him to be so silent yea it kinna hurt

(when a total stranger like Larry welcomes me into his home,visits me at my gym,calls me daily
id do the same for anyone else,i find bodybuilding and pre-contest stuff fascinating
i got littleguns sending me bodybuilding DVD'S in the mail
he dont know me from a hole in the wall!
Jimmy Mentis SENDING ME SUPPLEMENTS and shirts
i just thought Freak and 240 WOULD BE A PART OF ALL THIS IS ALL)

and then you turned after it was all done and you felt you weren't needed anymore.  

As with all clients, I provided you with the training and detailed instructions to grow and maintain the site yourself, without me.  

Not "being needed" anymore is a good thing- it means the client can grow their own site, and I am able to pursue new business.

I never take offense when a client achieves site independece.  Quite the opposite actually :)

At the same time,I don't really think 240 was dishing out a backward compliment either,I would say he was just being straight up ,and calling it like he sees it..I doubt he ment anything negative toward Mike.

Agree completely with previous posts, Mike you look superb now, the transformation you have achieved has been truly motivational to most members of this board whether they like to admit it or not.Notice how the swing has gone from you posting pics of yourself at 30%bf to now, everyone notices you have become humbled and have become a figure to be respected.Sure calves are slighly weaker than other parts but think about it this way, you do the show and then youll be what, 210-215 pounds to start a mass cycle in amazing shape,with your current motivation imagine how youll feel with a caloric surplus hitting the weights hard.I believe you could fit what you previously achieved in 3 years in to 6 months, that would put you at some monster legs by christmas!Keep going hard and ignore the haters,props Mike really looking forward to contest pics and i believe youll place well

Mike ,you look better than before, but not superb,I agree with 240 ,    thousands ,do this every year,including my wife ,myself and some friends. nothing special about  being fat ,go on a diet ,look good for a day ,and then go back to the same or worse than before .The hard part is maintain  low body fat(8to 14%) while improving ,  and changing the way we eat,  so I will wait  until two month after the show see how you look.   then I'll compliment you (if you look good )  Good luck with your show and I hope you place.

Well, you look great, Mike.  And I wish you the best of luck.

My post was actually about giving you credit for making the transformation. You *may* want to re-read it.

You think placing in a local contest is something not to be proud of?

You all of a sudden feel you are on some other level?

I'm confused, really. I thought this whole process of getting into shape had made you aware of your potential.

I also would like to sometime get some kind of input from you on what that PT certification you have is worth, at least what the nutrition part of it means. This is by no means a slam on you, just asking you to use your own learning from this dieting and perhaps sharing on what relevance the certification has.

I think the most impressive leap you will have done, regardless of what happens in the future, is the step you're going through right now.

Good luck, Mr Gatorade.  ;)

how do i feel colossus ...........like crap pretty much  lol

hedge..............my ISSA pt training certificate and their methods and principles on diet
are not geared towards bodybuilding,rather more suited for overweight housewife's

however i was trained by JOHN and SHERRY DEFENDIS (John is an IFBB PRO,INTESITY OR insanity principles)

so obviously he preached a pretty basic body builders diet called the "ULTRA -FIT SYSTEM"
it work's really well

when I was getting ready for my show, If someone told me I had weak arms or legs, I wanted to say fuck off and stop the dieting for the show.

when I was getting ready for my show, If someone told me I had weak arms or legs, I wanted to say f**k off and stop the dieting for the show.
When I will compete next year ( well maybe) I won't be putting my pics on getbig, that is too much for me  ;)

Ya, it's kinda funny that you can have guys like this:

lol Maxx.  I wasn't really trying to single anyone out, just making a point about the difference in physique types that either give props and appreciate or bash and hate on this board.

I mean no harm Mike.  I just have a very critical eye and I see what you need to work on.  I really try not to sound like I'm giving backhanded comments but I guess it comes across that way on the www.  It would be different if I were talking right in front of you.....kinda like how the judges are gonna talk to after your show.

I know how much work goes into this...I've done it several times.  I guess I don't want to come across like I'm kissing your ass or something just cause you decided to get yourself into shape, and do a show.

Don't take me giving critical statements as some sort of put down.  I ask questions and tell you what you need to work on.  I don't think you need another cheerleader....you got plenty...lol.

You've done a great job on transforming your physique, Mike.  Not everyone can do what you've done, and taking it to the level you've taken it to is something to be proud of.

ahhhhhhh the KING of backhanded compliments.  Well, he didn't ask you fuckface but since you offered your worthless 1 cent, please stfu until you know what you are talking about.  You are the last person on this board who should be offering opinions, whether good or bad.  Come back and talk about lifting after you have actually lifted a weight.  You meaningless banter with Pro's is just another pathetic way for you to get your much needed attention. 

Michael has made a tremendous transformation in both his body and attitude regarding bodybuilding and bodybuilders, but seeing that you could never obtain such, it is quite sad that you will never see that side of the fence.  And therefor you will never respect anyone else for doing so.  I think they call that "jealousy".  So just keep sitting behind that computer screen posting your "stupid ass shots" Rob.  We're all real interested in what you have to say. ::)




Good post, but there is more then jealousy here.  240 spends the majority of each day, 7 days a week, insulting everyone and everything on getbig.  That's not jealousy.  I don't know what it is, but it isn't just jealousy.

Also, Mike's legs look good.  Mike has a big waist, which is not a big deal, that's life. Gunter's got the same thing.  So even though his legs are good, they make not look huge due to the immediate comparison with his waist.  The worst part is is that 240 is one of these guys that thinks, "If I juiced, I would 10X better then him or any (and all) pros."

FWIW,

I think Freakzilla is your best friend on this board Arvilla.

If you don't realize that, you need to check yourself.

This guy gives you an honest appraisal, while never telling you to fcuk off.

Cheri Lane, the difference between someone like Freakzilla and 240 is total.

The difference between Freakzilla and Luke Wood is also total. As in that Freakzilla won't sugar coat it.

Just like the coaches of winning championships, he'll tell Arvilla what needs to be better, not what is good or decent. But in a constructive manner.

Complacency is a bitch.

And Freakzilla is your best friend here.

Time you realize that. And pay that fcuker some respect.

Decent progress Mike. When I do my contests, the dude that helps me always tells me true about everything. Fortunately, I always do what he says to a T, and then some, so he never dissed my work ethic in the gym, or my dieting. He is always very positive as well. BUT..... he is also very honest with me about flaws with my physique.... and at one time, my lower body was about 3 years behind my upper body. This was about 6 months before my first contest, and he said, "your legs are too small, we will do them 3 times a week, and just obliterate them, and then a couple of months out we will work on getting them diced to the bone before C-day". It worked out OK, I came in 2nd in the open lightweight class, and I won the junior masters, but I realized all along what my shortcomings were thanks to my coach. You do need somebody, one guy, that tells you the truth, no matter what. It is nice to have a lot of support, and a lot of positive people around, but you also need someone to look you in the eyes and give you the good honesty, and the bad honesty . This is your first time, so make it fun and enjoyable, and go on stage looking the absolute best that you can, and if you got issues with your physique, then after this is over work hard to correct them. For now though, JUST HAVE FUN..................... ....................Weez

it was so nice and motivational i had to post it!

looks good,EXCEPT, no carbsat 3:30 & I wanted you to do 200carbs not 175.I
would rather you have taken some carbs then & slowed up some on the evening
meals.Just like protein MIke,at this stage of the game, Iwant the carbs
exact or damn close,ok? This will be vital from here on out.Example, if I
tell you the morning of the contest before pre-judging I want you to take
in250 carbs & you only get 200 or so youwill be flat on stage & basically
you "F'ed " yourself, I had to learn this the hard way, you don't.On a good
note, once again Mike, I am DAMN proud of the effort you put in esp w/all
the obstacle's that were put in your path getting to where you are now.Not
sounding corny or mushy, you are a warrior, keep up the good work & don't
let up.

Mike, this is simple really.....you're trainin your ass off, dietin your ass off (no pun intended LOL) and preppin to step on stage.   Regardless of the results that's a major milestone for some of us that only previously watched the bb shows and read the bb mags....you're publically comin out and showin the world your progress on easily the most critical bb board on the net...gotta be thick-skinned to post here (and you are).  The results of this show are relatively meaningless...the point is you're gettin on a stage (tremendous in and of itself) and are gonna learn a ton from the experience.  Finish this show and start trainin your ass of to put on size in the off-season (that's the fun stuff)....you'll have an all-new, great base to work build off of now.....come a year...hell, even 6 months from now you're gonna have grown.    I bust everybodys' balls on here, but I also know when to be real with people.   I knew of you when you first posted and you've made dramatic improvements.   Shit, well all have fuckin mirrors and can see where we need to improve.....for competitive and noncompetitive bbs alike, time and consistency are great alies...they only bring bigger, better, more dramatic results.   Keep it up brother!

I just thought it was time for a look back at what Arvilla looked like in the beginning of his diet.

Here's a pic from February, he actually got a few positive responses for how he looked here, although Freakzilla was keeping shit real:



(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=51475.0;attach=63119;image)

The very first pic of this thread, a bit blurry:

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=51475.0;attach=52713;image)

This picture taken from Arvilla's site, pre-diet, not a single cut to be seen:

(http://www.mikearvilla.com/Michael%20Back.jpg)



Compare that to the current state of this guys physique:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/blflammia/TEAMRHINO.jpg)


It's not even the same bloke.

Two different persons.

One fat out of shape dude.

And then there is this guy with actually quite an impressive physique.

I'm looking forward to the next couple of pics on this thread.


Perhaps some kind of Jablonicky relaxed pose?

Sidenote: I don't get why Arvilla has Freakzilla as the Jackass of the month on his website? That's fcuked up.  >:(

I can't help but jump on the praise bandwagon. You've made a terrific transformation and the funny thing is, at your old weight people were mocking your structure, that it wasn't pleasing bladybla. I think you've proved them wrong! Get those legs up and you absolutely look the deal! BTW at this BF you look healthier and younger, how's that for a bonus!

The next few weeks are crucial...I know you are tired and hungry for some "real food" You have to dig deep inside of yourself and keep pushing forward.

Keep reminding yourself, how bad do you want to win!

& just how do you know he'll prob. finish last?? He not doing a National level show or a National qualifier, he is doing a Level 2 BB'ing show against guys who are at the same stage as he is & I will guarantee you if he keep's going the way he is ,he will be VERY hard to handle. So keep your backhanded comments to yourself ass-wipe. Better yet,let's see how awesome you look, post a pix or 2. I can pretty much bet you won't & if you did you wouldn't look 1/8 as well as Mike does, so until you do , shut up.

He probably will place last (I am guessing at 17 you have been to hundreds of local and national BBing shows that you would know what his competition looks like that would make him place "last"  ::))

Let me put it this way littleneck ... You are very young.  Show respect, don't hate those you have no cause to, think before you type, and if you chose to continue with these kinds of remarks toughen up your shell because you will get a thrashing here on getbig.  You have been here long enough to realize that.

I suggest you try taking some pics in a light room and NO flash, as the flash takes out many of the cuts which are present.

It will give a "truer" picture of what you look like right now IMHO.

Looks like your posing has improved quite some.

The back double bi looks pretty good, although others, who are great posers themselves, could give you better feedback.

Keep it up sport. In a few weeks we will see how you did.

You are far from equal to arvilla pencilneck, and I would hope that at 17 your skin wouldn't be hanging around.  Do us all a favor and go grow up a little, then come back and offer the real getbiggers something worth reading.

The kid posted his pics.

Now go on tell him that his physique isn't 1/8 of Arvilla's.


I seriously doubt you will.

And do you seriously think this 17 year old kid has a physique which is inferior to Arvilla?

IMO, his physique is just as good, compare the wheels...

Better lay off the weed Zack. Kid does look good, let see where he's at the Mike's age & who the f*ck asked you anyway?

ironneck has a shitty attitude.

But a great physique, considering he's only 17.

That's just facts of life.

Whether or not he's a good guy doesn't affect how his physique looks.

Listen pencil-dick, you do have a shitty attitude.  You have no fricken clue where Mike will place in his show, none of us do (you must be psychic if you think you know).  You wanna give what you consider a compliment "he looks like a fuggin killer and now he's ripped - i think it's great he wants to compete, that shows that he has discipline" and also throw in an insult (NOT CRITISM - do you know the difference?) "ok he probably will place last".  That is what us "adults" call a shitty attitude.

You brag about being 17 and comparing yourself to Michael?  When Michael was 17 he looked very similar to you, my son who's 16 has the exact same body style as you and he's never even lifted a weight.  So until you put in the same amount of time in the gym, dieting your ass off in contest prep and sacrificing all the more enjoyable things that people who want to compete do ... stfu, you have nothing to compare yourself to littleboy.

btw...I noticed your pictures are labeled 6 weeks out.  What are you 6 weeks out of?  The closet?

I see three possible explanations here:

1. Either your son is the greatest genetic freak ever, being extremely muscled up without even lifting weights.

2. You're lying.

or

3. You can't judge an apple from an orange.

sooooooooooo, what you are saying Zack is that you absolutely have to lift weights to have muscle.  Btw, I am not a liar, there is nothing I gain here from lying about my sons physique.  And other than you being fruity, why are you using such a statement?  The comparison of Arvilla and ironneck is apples and oranges, not two kids of the same age and caliber.

Mes, I realize the "fuggin killer" is slang (stupid coming from a white kid with a bidet in his bathroom).  My argument is that he knows all and can make a statement that someone is going to come in last in a competition.  A comment not necessary, especially in the same sentence as what he considers a compliment.

hmmmm i dnt think he dissed mike he just stated an opinion.... didnt seem personal to me....
because he says mike might place last.. doesnt necessarily mean it is so.. or will happen that way...
he hasnt seen the competition.... so to me that really is a assumption... a blank statemnet even....
i dont think he meant it in a way that you should take it so seriously....
me and mike havent been the best of friends... but he does look good.... i have no idea where he will place....in the contest...
but he sure did win the most important contest of all... he made himself look good...real good especially in comparison to what he used to be....

ahhhhhhh, you hit the nail right on the head.  to give props is a good thing, but don't back it up with such a statement as you'll probably finish last.  the correct thing to say would have been you look like a fuggin killer (i really hate that slang), you've come a long way (bla bla bla), i hope you place well but don't be discouraged if you come in last. hit em up again.  Or something like that.  Not you'll probably place last, wtf is that, especially coming from a kid who just reached puberty.

I know you and Mike haven't been the best of friends, but you both give each other props when deserved...without a doubt.  And I may be mad protective (lol) over Michael, but number one...I am his girl and number two...I have seen what he has gone through to get here.   ;)

thank you guys for reading my posts RIGHT
i think cheri can`t read

for the last time
as i wrote my first post here,i really didn`t want to sound disrespectful.
you know what i think?ithink you are a control freak.
you nearly lose your mind because of a statement ,as if mike sat down in his room and cried after reading that post.....

AND LAST but NOT LEAST
ROFL LMAO:When Michael was 17 he looked very similar to you, my son who's 16 has the exact same body style as you and he's never even lifted a weight.  So until you put in the same amount of time in the gym, dieting your ass off in contest prep and sacrificing all the more enjoyable things that people who want to compete do ... stfu, you have nothing to compare yourself to littleboy.

hahaha are you really that much a hater that you have to lie big time?
it`s not that i `m small or that i have a shitty body,i think you know that bb means hard work.
i seriously doubt that your son looks like me without touching any weight.
i also doubt that he would look like me WITH touching any weight,cause not everyone(especially at my age)has the discipline to work out and eat right and stay dedicated.
you are not kyle and mike is not coleman

you have nothing to gain from lying about your son? well.....maybe not, but you are lying to try and keep the ownage this kid is laying on you to a minimum.

and comparing him and arvillla is not at all like apples an oranges.    mike is a very big guy, much bigger than what we see in the pictures, im sur eof it. the problem is that he has large joints, and no real shape to his muscles. so when compared, mike does take up more space than ironneck, but thats not what bodybuilding is about...its about creating an illusion of massive size.   like melvin anthony or dexter jackson could beat a guy like gunter, or quincy taylor, even though they would break them in two.   

bottom line, ironneck woul beat mike on stage.

How do you think you'd look compared to Mike if you were to diet down from "a lean" 240 down to Mike's BF level?  ;)

but i am not sure how i would do against him...i think i have rather large joints as well...

Lady, YOU'RE A LIAR...

There is no question about it...
I would like to see your son, I think, it is your mother instinct, which make you see your son look like hercules :D

Iron Neck has an awesome body for his age, and if you say, your son has same size without ever lifting weights, and he is one year younger....

You are seriously a tool kiddo.  400lb dead lifts?    ::)  No wonder you hurt yourself.  Without adding insult to injury ... at 17 you are still growing, don't attempt such foolish lifts for your size and age or you will really take yourself out of the game permanently.

When did he ask?

I didn't even know you had me on your site...lol.....it's an honor.   hahaha.

I'm outta here for the weekend.  Going to help over see my freinds prep at his show this weekend in Iowa City, Iowa.
 
Actually, I was in Des Moines, Iowa for the weekend.  Got mixed up on where we were going since I wasn't driving....lol.  My freind...who frequently posts over on Mayhem....got 2nd in the open(only three in the class. Had him 2nd all the way.), and 4th in the submaster's(12 competitors in that class.  Although I had him 3rd and I'm usually very critical with the guys I'm with.  I usually place them lower then there scored.)  Oh and he's 41 years old too.  Not bad for an old guy.  ;)

Damnit, I wish I could work one on one with you on your posing cause some of it is still sucky.  Better then before but still sucky in some respects.

You haven't posted any quarter turn pics.  Why?  Thats very important in the AM judging.  Let's see those next.

Hahahahaha.  I remember the first show I did....thought there was an earthquake goin' on underneath my feet!  I calmed down...kinda....and went on to do very well.  The next couple of show's I did I wasn't nervous at all.  Actually, I couldn't wait to get onstage to show off all the hard work I put into getting ready.

Don't waste all the hard work you put into doing this by going blank and getting nervous(deer in the headlights look.)  If you want to kill some of the nerves just look at the judges during prejudging.  Which you should be doing anyways.  Have a confident smile and act like you BELONG up there.

BTW where are those quarter turn pics I requested?  How much are you working on them?  I hope your not putting all your efforts into the mandatories.  I can't stress enough how important quarter turns are and that you nail each one right on the money.

Mike, in tandem to what Freak is saying...

Are you practicing holding your poses for a few seconds and truly flexing them for a count of 5?

I didn't my first time around and by the night show I was soo sore, felt like I just did 1000 sets for every body part.

As for nerves...as they say, pic a geek in the crowd, perhaps me if I can go and picture this person in a clown outfit or something ridiculous...it will keep a smile on your face amd lessen the nerves

As for the banana hammock, this is normal, just don't hike it up your ass and make sure you buy some of that posing trunk glue (Freak help me out here as I can't remember the name), will keep you from fidgeting...

The finish line is in sight

Stick to powerlifting!

If you're looking for specific powerlifting training protocols, and protocols which are aimed for natural lifters, just post on the Powerlifting board or PM me and I'll post my interpretation of the Öjeby Protocol.

It's amazing what a little effort and hard work will do for you.  Drugs are not the end all to be all.  Or something like that.

Just good 'ol fashioned hard work.

Regardless of your placing (who really cares at this point being your first show and all) you should be proud of your accomplishment's.  Something to be said about what you've done these last few months.

question. does being a bodybuilder automatically make one a glutton for the rest of their lives? i mean a bodybuilder can go down to a caloric intake that's normal-high for a human being and it's like he's STARVING to death and then when there's no more cutting down to do it's BAM! back to fat.

Mike, you possess a frame that will look very massive when ripped. You are lucky.
My thoughts...

Train legs first.  Monday. After you've watched tv and relaxed all day sunday.  Make it your priority. I'd guess from looking at you that you have done upper body work about 3 times more than lower body in your life.   Your legs are years behind.  But your arms will keep their size when you diet, so you're in a good place.

I'd take a month off upper body and hit legs twice a week and that's it.  Your upper body joints will heal (and cutting back the ibuprofin will make your body more responsive to your AAS as a bonus!), Your CNS will recover (you've been training 10+ hours a week with no cardio? ouch! rest up for your contest run!), You'll get the upper body back in 3 weeks with muscle memory. Make Jan 15-Feb 15 LEG MONTH, and you'll be re-energized come february for your precontest run.

As far as diet/cardio- if you don't do something big and drastic in the next 3 months, you're just going to look like a leaner yet smaller version of you at the show.  SHOCK your body.  Start eating a ton of fish.  Get hooked on a new veggie.  for cardio, do something like fast bleacher climbing or fast sprints.  At your age and bodyfat, hours on the treadmill are NOT the answer.  I would advise high intensity.  If you've been training 2 hours a day, your body is already USED to low impact aerobic activity from the long weight sessions. SHOCK IT with some intense cardio. Intervals are good too.

What you're doing takes guts. If you fail, the whole internet community will never let you hear the end of it. but if you succeed, you'll gain clients for your business and be known as a guru here.

Sorry if I have been rude or too abrasive, just sharing what is in my head.  I will be following your journey.  Should be interesting!


Rob

Real simple smooth, If you start a fire and throw a huge log on it it gets smothered and takes forever to catch on. Feed it some twigs and pieces of wood a little at a time and soon you have a roaring fire. You gotta stoke the fire and keep it buring- simplified but true for the most part

Food (the right food) is energy.  When you constantly feed your body, it is constantly fueled and the metabolism is always running high.  When your body is used to taking in a meal at say 5:00pm and not again until the next morning, your metabolism slow during the night as it is not being continuously fueled...therefore eating something at 8:00 and going to bed just converts the food to fat or doesn't digest properly.

Just look at the progress Michael has made.  In the begining, he was not a continuous eater (he could barely finish a meal), after eating the right foods every 3-4 hours he has leaned out and totally transformed.

Just an observation when I looked closer at your journal.........

I see Protein, Fats, and Carbs in your journal, but where's the fiber?  You need something to move all that food along or you'll get backed up.  Also fiber (the greener the better, broccolli is the best) is a good fat burner and it fills you up a bit when your low carb'n it like you.  Fiber is low in calories and the carbs shouldn't count towards your daily totals cause they get digested differently then the carbs your counting.  I'd also suggest if you can't get all your fiber in by food use a drink.  I drink Sugar Free Citricel almost everyday, and 2 times a day when prepping.  Fiber has SO many benefical factors!!  Don't ignore it or you won't be able to poop!!!!

Freak  :o

Mike, to improve the definition in your abs I have a very good excercise, it's really hard to explain though, here goes...

lay down on the floor, arms and legs extended, so your arms are on the ground over your head. Then arch your back, you will feel tension increasing on your abs. This means your abs are extending further than normal, your ROM is increased. Now raise both your feet and hands a couple of inches off the ground, still having your back arched. You now contract your abs, forcing the arch out of your back, you are effectively pushing your back to the ground this way. it also means your arms and legs will go up in the air. Do this very slowly, on both the positive and the negative part of the excercise. This excercise kind of grafts the skin on your abs. Do it every other day, don't count reps, make sure one rep takes around 10 secs, 5 up and 5 down. It's tough at first, but it such a great shaping excercise and it strengthens your core a lot!

ECA stack is no magic pill or something, it really helps, it gives you extra power, and really put you on the go even when you cut back your calories.
It's a strong stimulant, but you should eat clean, otherwise it wouldn't help, but when you eat clean, and use its stimulant effects to do extra cardio, it works wonders.

Mike, to improve the definition in your abs I have a very good excercise, it's really hard to explain though, here goes...

lay down on the floor, arms and legs extended, so your arms are on the ground over your head. Then arch your back, you will feel tension increasing on your abs. This means your abs are extending further than normal, your ROM is increased. Now raise both your feet and hands a couple of inches off the ground, still having your back arched. You now contract your abs, forcing the arch out of your back, you are effectively pushing your back to the ground this way. it also means your arms and legs will go up in the air. Do this very slowly, on both the positive and the negative part of the excercise. This excercise kind of grafts the skin on your abs. Do it every other day, don't count reps, make sure one rep takes around 10 secs, 5 up and 5 down. It's tough at first, but it such a great shaping excercise and it strengthens your core a lot! 

Yo Mike!

I didn't write all this stuff to be overlooked ;)
cheers

You need to work on developing blocks in your abs.  Roman chair sit ups w/ a 25-45lb. weight alwats helped me.  Did abs 5-6 days a week leading up to the show.  Also did alot of hanging straight leg raises.

Freak 8)

ummmm       should you really do them that much?  i mean they are a normal muscle, and respond to weight training the same as any other muscle.....so wouldnt traiing them that often constitute over training and slow gains (well in this case, slow definition.)

You still have to eat right Steele, don't you?  Otherwise why not just eat donuts, pizza and ECA.

Yes, you are right Cheri..


Mike,

1. are you doing 3 ECA stacks per day or only before your morning cardio?  
2. do you do ECA 7 days?
3. are you doing cardio once or twice day?
4. what is your BF now? looks to be around 6-8%

Honestly, I'm more curious about how you're gonna look 6 months from now when you let up on the contest diet and start trainin for size in the off-season with what you've learned.....I think the pics after a hard off-season will be even more impressive now that you've seen your lean base.....will be cool if you continue to document progress.

You're doin somethin that's fairly unprecedented here....publically documenting progress and takin postitive and negative criticism the entire time from any "joe schmoe" that wants to post.......some criticize and say, "quit jumpin on Mike's dick," but how many people have put it out there for everyone to see.....I think it's cool to watch the transformation.

Shit mike!

I've just seen your pics. Not been to getbig recently.

You've clearly done everything just right. You got 10 days to go, and although they're the hardest, they will also be   the most rewarding. Enjoy them!

I'll be checking daily from now on, keep the pics coming. Do as you've been doing and you'll blow 'em away.

Mike don't do anything for legs from this point on.  Hopefully Larry has told you this.  For the life of me I don't know why you were doing legs the other night.  You should be allowing them to heal.  Next time you should stop training legs two weeks out and see how they look then.

BTW when is your last tanning session?  You don't want any water build up the last couple of days.  I would usually stop the Monday before the show.  But thats just me.

bitch all you like! You've only got another week to go. If you wanna complain about 50g of carbs a day, then complain!... Shit mike, you've done such a good job, you've earnt the right to bitch.

With regard to your immune system, it's gonna happen, it did to me. I never felt 100% when cutting - your body is in a constant state of shock.

There's one thing you can be sure of though... when you carb up, you'll look great, feel great and know it was all worth it!

Have you planned your post contest meal yet?

Mike....other than legs....before your next contest....bring up the lats.

Hit them heavy & hard.  Get started on some pull-ups or weighted pull-ups.


Looking great Mike.  Seriously dude....I'm impressed how far you've come.

Mike--

I've followed your cutting for awhile now, I gotta say, you're doing so much more than most of these guys on this site could ever dream of.  I've cut a little weight before, but never like you, never strayed once from your diet---that's the meaning of dedication, man---you have so much more insight on the bodybuilding experience than most shit-kickers on here.  I'm very proud of you, as most get-biggers are, because you're on of our own.  You're doing what we all want to do.  As far as your last pics, your lines are looking great, man.  You turned in a real nice aesthetic physique.  I wish you the best of luck in the contest, and in future endeavors as well.  You really are an inspiration that we can look up to and believe in.

I remember the Wednesday or Thursday before my (only) show (on Sat).  I was talking to my trainer and another competitor on the phone and I was sitting in the recliner and could barely move.  I said, "THis must be how those people on Survivor feel where all they can do is lay around."

But later I was able to have some delicious and wonderful carbs and the day of the show had enough energy to go to the gourmet food store and get some of those wine biscuits that I love to have w/the wine I brought back stage ;D   and the peanut M&M's.....and the Trail Mix....and the homemade cookies etc etc!!!  WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I've posted this before.  Save it for later.  Maybe you'll find it helpful.

By: Dr. Joe Klemczewski
I could fill a book with the quotes I hear at contests from competitors who placed from second to last in their class. There are many versions, but just one quote. I'll paraphrase: "I screwed up my peak." That's it - end of quote. It's usually sandwiched in a paragraph including words like carb loading, sodium manipulation, water depletion, and it always comes right before the line, "I tried something new this time." Now, I'm talking about legitimate peaking screw-ups, of which there are many.
Why Most Fail...
The one thing I want to eliminate from your mind at the beginning of this article is to blame your body fat percentage on peaking. Some people start peak week at 14% body fat and think that by doing one neat, new little trick that they read about, they'll wake up Saturday morning looking like Frank Zane. You've seen them. The ones at 8% body fat who say, "Yeah, I was just holding a little water today." This article isn't for them. This is for people who know how to dial in on contest shape and now want to know exactly what to do in order to wake up Saturday morning and shout, "Eureka! (or 'Damn!' -if you're on the East Coast) - I did it!! I finally nailed my peak!!"
First of all, let's begin with how you should plan to enter peak week. If you still have to be concerned with losing "the last couple pounds" in the week before the show, you won't be able to peak properly. Peak week should be thought of as recovering slightly, being fresh, and focusing just on making sure the muscles are full and hard yet visible because of proper subcutaneous water elimination. Fat elimination should be over before this last week.
The next thing I want to erase from your thought process is the myth that you have to make extreme changes to manipulate your body into looking good on contest day. You've no doubt experimented with massive sodium loading and depletion, varying carb loading schemes, and endless water depletion schedules to try to be your biggest, hardest, and driest all at one time. You also have probably experienced the shock at looking at a flat, shriveled up, smooth physique (with it's mouth gaping open in terror) in the mirror six hours before prejudging. DO NOT PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING DRASTIC DURING PEAK WEEK!
Your body is constantly being monitored by your brain with thousands of chemoreceptors that are sending feedback on millions of chemical reactions happening in the body. It's how your brain manages to balance the chemical necessities for life. This vast neuro-hormonal-chemical network is brutally dynamic and always in flux. I'm not smart enough to predict and override these millions of reactions in my body to create an unnatural super-compensation effect exactly at prejudging and then maintain it all day.
Neither are you. What we can do is understand the cycles that our body goes through in directing water into muscles or outside of the muscle cells, the way our body stores carbohydrates, and how to gently massage these cycles so that we ride the right wave into the right day and predictably peak perfectly and naturally instead of trying to force a freaky, extreme response. That is a gamble you'll lose nine times out of ten.
How To Properly Peak...
When I peak a bodybuilder, I control protein, carbs, fat, sodium, water, and training. We start seven days from the show and I provide a chart that tells the athlete exactly what to do in what amounts each day for the entire week. I use these variables to control the normal cycles of water and glycogen flow in and out of the muscle tissue. We start out the week in a certain pattern and then each day the variables change in a subtle way to be able to predict and control peaking. Obviously, every bodybuilder is different in the amounts of each of the variables.
Some people have unbelievably fast metabolisms and some people are very carb-sensitive - two extreme differences which dictate different amounts of each nutrient variable and a slightly different schedule. But, the actual flow and cycle is still very similar. It is important to know and understand what to expect on each day so you know how to adjust. For this reason, even my "long-distance" clients have daily communication with me during peak week. I want to go through each of these variables and give you some physiological insight to why peaking is so elusive.
Carbing-up is the great myth started and continuing with 250-pound steroid using bodybuilders who consume huge amounts of food anyway and then take prescription diuretics to eliminate the steroid bloat. If this describes you, traditional carb depletion and loading may work. If you're body isn't an eighth grade science experiment out of control, let's stick with normal physiology. Even the hardest, leanest bodies cannot metabolize and shuttle glucose into muscle cells at a maximum rate without having some extracellular spill-over. Read that sentence again. You cannot deplete carbs and then supercompensate and expect all of the glucose and water to end up in the muscle.
"You cannot deplete carbs and then supercompensate and expect all of the glucose and water to end up in the muscle."
You'll certainly fill out, but you'll also smooth out. Some a little, and some a great deal. Yes, a lot of carbs will go into the muscle, but a little or a lot will end up outside the muscle cell with a lot of water which makes you smooth. Next time you're dieting and you're fairly lean, log some comments every day in a journal. "Woke up pretty lean. Very smooth - must have been the sodium in the chips. Very vascular. Hard as a freak'n rock!" Just write down comments on how you look in the morning. Get a Bodybuilding.com workout log, they are great! I guarantee that you'll consistently be your hardest after a couple of low-carb, high-water intake days.
You may not be your biggest because the carbs aren't as high, but the lack of extraneous carbs and water under the skin makes you very tight and you appear much bigger. Who wins the show: the big soft guy or the bone-dry striated competitor? The way I carb up my clients catches the wave of glucose and water entering the muscle on the way up, but not at the expense of smoothing out on the rebound effect of over-carbing.
Saturday & Sunday
My general carb cycle for peak week is to start at the highest point on the weekend before. I start at a slightly above "normal" level on Saturday and Sunday and schedule no training. I want this weekend to be a recovery time with a refilling of glycogen. As training starts again on Monday, I slowly drop carbs each day. It's a subtle drop, not a severe depletion.
Monday Through Wednesday
The training each day, Monday through Wednesday, with the slight drop will create a sufficient carb deficit without total depletion. Depending on the client's metabolism, I keep the carbs coming down and keep the water very high all the way through Friday.
For a very high metabolism bodybuilder, I'm not going as low on the carbs during the week, and I may start re-carbing on Friday. For carb-sensitive clients it's very important to wait until Saturday to reload. By waiting until later in the week to carb up, you eliminate the chance of glycogen and water spill over. Your body can metabolize glucose very quickly and you don't have to start three days ahead of time especially if you haven't completely bottomed out with a severe carb depletion. There are also some issues with the type of carbs you use to reload. There are some that create more subcutaneous swelling due to being food allergens. It's important to know which are the most common and how they affect you.
Water is just as misunderstood as carbs. The traditional carb and water theories have people drop their water sometimes days before the show. Nothing will flatten and smooth you out faster! You have to maintain a high water intake because your muscle tissue is around 70% water. No water, no hardness - just flat, squishy muscle tissue. The reason people typically start dropping water is because they've over-carbed so much that they're already spilling glycogen and water under the skin and think, "Oh, my gosh!! I've got to get rid of this water!!" With the carb reload as I described, you won't have that problem; you'll actually get harder and harder throughout the week.
 
REMEMBER:
Keep the water intake up and let it follow the carbs into the muscle!
If you're not over-carbed, the rest of the water will be eliminated!
 
Thursday
Sodium also has to be cycled. Start with a moderate amount of sodium, up to two grams at the beginning of the week and around Thursday start dropping it slightly but don't eliminate it completely. If you do, you'll force water out of the muscle cell, you'll look flat and smooth, and you'll cramp like there's no tomorrow. You need approximately four times more sodium than potassium for your muscles to contract normally. Again, don't let the myths from the pharmaceutically dominated side of our sport lure you into doing things that aren't physiologically correct.
You don't have all those drug side-effects to combat in peaking properly. If you sodium load and/or deplete in a big way you're gambling with extreme chemical rebound effects that you can't possibly time. If you're lucky enough to stumble into a good effect, it will be short lived because you're on a pendulum swing that your body will adjust to and you'll look absolutely lousy in a very short time.
I also use specific tricks regarding fat intake and schedule very specific contest day meal strategies for the individual needs and characteristics of my clients. As I get to know their metabolic rates through the dieting process, I'm already planning their peak and everyone's a little different. These general guidelines, however, I hope will dispel some common mistakes and put you on a path to learn your body type and peak perfectly every time!!

Im sure you will all agree, that Mike did go above and beyond, and truly is entering this show in the BEST shape he can possibly get in for it, and its mind blowing to me, the conditioning he got in FOR HIS FIRST SHOW! OMG... You make it look like your a veteran at this man.

Either way I hope he has fun with it and does better than my prediction..

I dont know about that. You make it sound easier than it really is...and its not, by far.. "not just anyone" can do it. Hes doing it bc

A)he had years of training that jus tneeded to be chiseled out (you gotta have some muscularity)

B) He had the mental toughness to diet, and get in GREAT shape. He just doesnt have abs, hes really starting to push/redline.  Many just diet till they have ABS, and think they are ready until they embarass themeleves.

Well i never said anyone could do it but he proves that not all here are just bullshitters, how many people here seriously 6months ago thought Arvilla could do the things he has done, only Laura could have thought that.

Oh, and Yeah did I mention Mike is competing in a real Comeptitive REAL bodybuilding contest? He didnt just call out get biggers to an "online contest" like you did.

This thread is about Arvilla predictions.

I predict the judges will spot the gyno and mark him down, hence Mike winning the Mcdonalds consolation prize.


If you wanted this as a tribute thread, you should have made it as such.

Or, if there is a good line up of 10-15 guys, Mike won't stand a chance at placing and won't even get a plastic trophy. :'(

Either way, even if he did discover after melting most of that blubber, that he actually had no muscle and nuts the size of sunflower seeds, he still did his best and that's all that matters!

ROFLMAO.  What are your lifts?  I`ll put money in your paypal account if you can beat Jezebelle in any lift. ANY OF THEM! You can pick.  How can she be fat when you can clearly see all muscle groups and that is at her heaviest. hahah  I have seen your heaviest.  Its really bad.

hahahah you can`t even do most exercises because of your disgusting and deformed boob job. Monster half reps for chest. hahahah

And as far as cooking goes, I have seen what Mike eats in his log.  No ingredient shit that tastes horrible. If it was any good, Mike wouldn`t be wanting to eat pizza or anything. He would be satisfied.

Again, I will put 1000 dollars in your pay pal account if you can beat Jezebelle on any lift. Film it.  We will film the counter lift.  Take it or consider yourself owned for good.

This is a horrible thing to write.

Cheri, if you're mad at TA, why post these things about his woman?

Did she do something to you?

Seeing as you're 20 years older than her, I can imagine you're a lot wiser and more mature than her.

But then I see that you called her an ugly prostitute.  What do you base this on?

You mean we can see all her muscles groups in the poorly lit room, the same lighting she claims is what makes your chest smooth right down into your stomach.   ::)  And don't be so fucking stupid as to offer a Jezz against Cheri lifts because unless your gonna put your asses on a plane from NC to FL, you are just blowing smoke up everyones ass, as usual.  You challenging me?  Seeing you think so much of your girl, come down, you have an open invite.  Kinda stupid to even offer you such as you would never show. 

You are also the biggest tool here, wtf does having a boob job have to do with chest exercise or any exercise.  You know this because you have implants?? 

And you obviously have never dieted for contest (wtf am I say "obviously" we know you never have) because anyone who has would know how bland the diet is.  Keep running your mouth Adam, because the more you talk, the stupider you look.

The lifts can be videotaped and put on the web...

Hell, an exercise like bodyweight pullups are kinda hard to fake for the camera.

Here is the first video of many on my road to compete.  I have been dieting for three weeks now  and I'm getting leaner.  I will update with photos and videos every three weeks or so.  I am planning to compete in August at one of the South Florida shows.

Another moron remark.  That was when he was going to do it by himself.  Larry (LLES) stepped in and started him with a contest prep diet.  Michael had never done a show, never knew how to diet for it.  He didn't start his true contest prep (diet) until March 1st.  Again, keep running your mouth tool.  It only gets better.

wow...6 months of dieting? Ouch!

Did mike start the diet then stop?  Or LLES just improved it?  Did Mike really diet for 6 months prior to this show?

Well 240, seeing you are the know all of body building, what do you think the difference between "going on a diet" and "doing a contest prep diet" is.

take the bet then.  I'll put $20 paypal to the winner just to see the contest.  See which girl can do more full range chinups (or pullups).

Legs must show during the exercise.  No stools or strings. Cheri, she's 20 years younger.  You called her an ugly prostitute.   School her if you're confident.

She is sitting under a dark light. She has her side to us, the only cuts I see are from the shadows on her arm due to poor lighting.  I would hardly call that muscular, but if you wanna dream, I say go for it.

you never know what kind of show it will be until the day of...I would like to see Mike do just the masters(embrace it) and possibly have a shot at the masters overall(again your never know) and leave the open class to the kids...Esp. for a first show(thats alot of posing)...Its hard enough competing against guys 5'6 220 in the heavy's, let alone have to mess with any young super heavy's....By the look of mike's conditioning and size, he for sure has a future as a very good master's competitier...Plus he has a young face so he will look that much better in the masters division at any comp he goes in..

Good job Mike getting yourself in shape and good luck this weekend

    Do us all a favor, do yourself a favor. Stop acting like we care about your shabby physique. Your face is way bloated like you are on something, my bet is your blood pressure is up with your high water level. Also you have really lagging traps, triceps, lats and shoulders.
   The only thing that is big on you is your warped sense of what you think you look like. This gay pic says it all. insert photo of queer bait here........

I guess neither of you have competed in bb before.....

'And as far as cooking goes, I have seen what Mike eats in his log.  No ingredient shit that tastes horrible. If it was any good, Mike wouldn`t be wanting to eat pizza or anything. He would be satisfied.'

What is it you don't get about a bb diet being bland, saltless,lacking fat, and tasteless ??????????

' Sure beats Mike and Laura`s low budget microwaved broccoli and non-seasoned boiled chicken. '

Just for your information pre contest diets don't include giant T-Bone steaks

Finallly....I've done about 16 shows over the last 7 years.
The only way I could have pulled this off is to have a good woman in my corner who could put up with the lifestyle and the mood swings
who can cook a dozen egg whites and 6 chicken breasts with broccollievery single day for about 100 days straight, 16 different times !!! 
Obviously Mike has this as well....
So Adonis if Jezz is a great woman whos into the scene then we'll see you on stage soon then right?
If you do.....I'd be real interested to see if you get any pizza cravings along the way and I'd also be interested to see how many t-bones you'll be consuming.
Anyone can build muscle eating 4000 calories a day....
Try 3 months of chicken,brocolli,egg whites,oatmeal ,yams, cardio,lifting,tanning,posing,choreography,music studio,food bills,working a few jobs, while maintaining a relationship....
-Hope this helps

This posts is so Mayhemesque.

Tell me, What is so hard about eating? It is so funny to see the majority of you "struggle" as if it were really a challenge to get ripped.  It is about the easiest thing you can do. Sorry if I am smarter and realize that I don`t have to eat like an idiot to get ripped.  I ate a T bone steak last night and woke up about 1.5 lbs lighter. hahah. I love it. 

It takes Mike 6 months and hours of cardio and T-3 to drop 50 lbs.  I don`t even have to do cardio.  The more I figure this all out, the more and more I see just how delusional all of you are. 

Pizza cravings?  I don`t have any because I eat pizza and hamburgers with chesse everyday.  I wish this shit was more of a challenge. I really do.

And what is this about working several jobs?  How come you people can`t have one REAL job?

hahahahahahahah.

Serious question Mike,

Why do you claim yourself as being a natural when you have Admitted in the past to steroid use.  You also used T3 and Clenbuterol to get lean.  You have ZERO right to call yourself natural.  I liked you up until the point you decided to call yourself natural.

hey JACKASS I think we should start a fund for you to get some glasses, because if you think that Mike is on roids you must be having trouble seeing.  Actually you probably also need a megadose of thorazine because even if you're legally blind you should still be able to tell that Arvilla is natural.  You must be fuck1ng nuts.  Why would anyone need steroids to build 220lbs on a 6'1" frame.  That's how much most high schoolers weigh at that height.  Unless Mike has Muscular Distrophy I don't think it would take steroids to build that physique.  All he did is slim down and last I checked you dont need roids to go from fat to skinny.  Do you think Al Rooker was on 2g of test per week?  That must be the secret of his success

TA I think that Jezebelle is cute................. I wasn't going to this but

I know for a fact that Hercs's girl kills Jezebelle. I have seen a different picture of her than this,  and she is way better than Jezebelle. Better looking and has a better body.

Not trying to start anything, but pictures don't lie. From what I hear she doesn't work out and eats like crap.  Which just adds to her total package.  I think that Herc should post some more pics of her and settle this.  

Forgive me for lusting after your women Herc

Hmmm, looks like your ranting and pics backfired there Team Adonis.

In this thread alone...

Team Arvilla: Wombat, Eric2, MikethaMachine, Weedouttheweek, TheUgly, liberty, thisiskeith12, AVBG, Steelepegasus, WOOO & Tomcat = 11

Team Adonis: 240 (predictable), Steelepegasus  = 2

With all that said and known, I guess I am done playing with you two.   :-*

trust me, it was my pleasure to have you play with me..anytime

This thread is about Arvilla predictions.

I predict the judges will spot the gyno and mark him down, hence Mike winning the Mcdonalds consolation prize.


If you wanted this as a tribute thread, you should have made it as such.

First, your avatar says it all.   You're all worked up about Cheri & Mike and you want to rain on his parade.  I can't for the life of me understand why since they're both way cool and great people.  What's the point of these malicious attacks?   ???

     You suck, you are a delusional fart bag. You have no forearm developement what so ever and, you chest is way small. Never do you show your legs also this must be a sign of Chicken meat , eh?
    Do us all a favor, do yourself a favor. Stop acting like we care about your shabby physique. Your face is way bloated like you are on something, my bet is your blood pressure is up with your high water level. Also you have really lagging traps, triceps, lats and shoulders.
   The only thing that is big on you is your warped sense of what you think you look like. This gay pic says it all. insert photo of queer bait here........

This is a horrible thing to write.

Cheri, if you're mad at TA, why post these things about his woman?

Did she do something to you?

Seeing as you're 20 years older than her, I can imagine you're a lot wiser and more mature than her.

But then I see that you called her an ugly prostitute.  What do you base this on?

Yeah, but I would never call youf GF an ugly prostitute.  That goes beyond web board razzing into white trash insults.  it's fun to blow off steam owning and trading barbs to sharpen wits and be amused.  But Cheri called this girl a flat, ugly prostitute.

IMO, any woman with a boob job cannot call any other woman 'flat'.

And what I'm trying to do is give Cheri a chance to back away from the statement, or worse, dig herself deeper into trashy baseless name calling. The follow-up *shocked* post gives the original issuer a chance to back down or step up.  

Same way Hedge will nail me for challenging Shawn Ray to a posedown or Bob Chick to a UFC match.  I'll be forced to reiterate my willingness, or back down, and look like a little beyotch.  Either way, it's good theater.

I agree that calling her an ugly prostitute is harsh but you guys (including Jezabelle) have been pretty rude with Laura.

Do not worry, I am not a self promoting attention whore like you.
   Also, even if my wife where dead 10 years and covered in shit she would still out do you.............. ;D

Technically TA/Cheri Lane were the ones who started the debate, and the girl just posted her pictures to disprove what CL said.

You would think Adonis would be more sympathetic to people with weak genetics in their chest.  That being said, it will probably be better shaped than Arvillas when he diets down.

Arvilla has made an incredible transformation, he looks 100 times better than the fat bloated sack of crap he once was.  But in the end his placement will depend on who shows up at the show...  He's tall and has some very weak body parts, if there are a few mini tanks then he will place lower.  But I'm thinking he'll do well in the masters division.

In the end Arvilla won the contest with himself, he did it... He went from bouncer/keyboard warrior to backing up his shit.  Can't see why he'd put himself through so much hell for a plastic trophy, but hey the guy put it all on the line and he should be commended.

What would be the point of him trying to own you in an area that you're not competitive at.  That would be like Tyson vs. Napoleon Dynamite just to show everyone he can own Napoleon of course if it was a dance off then Napoleon would have the clear advantage.  
If he insults you from time to time it's purely incidental and stems from the fact that he doesn't feel you merit his respect.  The two of you should make up and agree to disagree.   ;)

Tell me, What is so hard about eating? It is so funny to see the majority of you "struggle" as if it were really a challenge to get ripped.  It is about the easiest thing you can do. Sorry if I am smarter and realize that I don`t have to eat like an idiot to get ripped.  I ate a T bone steak last night and woke up about 1.5 lbs lighter. hahah. I love it. 

It takes Mike 6 months and hours of cardio and T-3 to drop 50 lbs.  I don`t even have to do cardio.  The more I figure this all out, the more and more I see just how delusional all of you are. 

Pizza cravings?  I don`t have any because I eat pizza and hamburgers with chesse everyday.  I wish this shit was more of a challenge. I really do.

And what is this about working several jobs?  How come you people can`t have one REAL job?

hahahahahahahah.

It's soooooooo easy.  I eat anything I want all year long.  I usually have a cookie ice cream sandwich or a piece of cake for breakfast.  I finish off a whole can of whipped cream in a day.  hahhahah.  I love to cook and I eat alot of steak (not lean-doesn't taste good), cheeseburgers, mexican, pasta, Taco bell, Subway, etc.  I've never "dieted," I'm just cutting down my calories slightly with my boyfriend, and I've been losing at least a pound of fat a week.  A calorie is a calorie is a calorie!  

I've never done cardio ever.  My cardio consists of laying on a raft in a pool.  That heat gets your heart pumping!  I'm very strong, I do compound movements--military, deadlifts, bench, etc 2 or 3 times a week.  Forty-five mins to an hour is all you need.      

And it's really funny, baby, cause I also woke up exactly 1.5 lbs less after eating that steak!

Okay, let's have Adonis & Jezebelle VS. Arvilla & Cheri in a pizza 'n cheeseburger 'n cake eating contest.  Then weigh 'em all the next morning and whichever couple loses the most combined pounds (or gains the least pounds) wins.

I can only offer you this regarding that diet and cardio combo Jez, it's great when you're in your 20's and your metabolism is high, but don't maintain that same combo in your 30's and up or you won't stay that little for long.  Your metabolism slows with age and lack of proper diet and physical activity (cardio). JMO

TA's friend is pretty with a balanced look. A little thin for my tastes but a pretty girl.

I find it amusing how cutthroat women can be when it comes to looks. It's too bad women aren't judged on more important things.

You're being very diplomatic here Doc. Left to themselves, and especially when a man is involved, they damn near eat their own. Just brutal.

/not kidding. Just think of that office that you know that is staffed soley by women. I would rather try to broker a Mid-East peace deal than to work there.  ;)

Yea one big reason you're able to eat so much is because you're doing those compound movements that a lot of girls are afraid of.  Those boost metabolism more than anything, and expend a lot of calories.

Well, if you have heard it before...don't ya think there might be some truth to it?  If several people tell you don't put your hand in the fire because it's hot...do ya still put your hand in the fire?  It's true.  I had the metabolism of a speeding train when I was young.  You could litterally count my ribs through my skin, and I ate ... well lets say healthy (and I don't mean health food).  Wasn't until I got a little older that it wasn't so easy to just maintain.   :-\

I also don't plan on leading a unhealthy life of drinking, pill popping, smoking, and eating pure junk when I'm older.  It takes work to get fat admit it.

No, it takes lack of work, to get fat, but keep living your carefree cheeseburger/chocolate cake, laying on a float by the pool life Jez and you'll figure it out.  Not sure what pill poppin or smoking has to do with getting fat.  Most that pop pills and smoke are actually thin because they don't eat...but being 26, I guess you know more than me.  ::)   Take what I said as lessons learned, not critisism or an attack.

If your a Genetic god, and have a FUrnace super churning metabaolism, bragging about how easy it is to diet and ge tin shape, why havent you ever competed? Your natural, so you shoudlnt have any issue, dieting gettingin great shape and comepting! WHy havent you? JUst curious...Because your bragging how you eat tbone steak and LOSE weight! You should do it!  :P

Dumping on mike for a insane transformation is cheap, and makes you and your side kick look trashy... Be happy for the guy, he didnt "just diet down" he totally transformed his physique, that blows yours out of the water right now..

Not many people realize it but just eating the right food and getting your heart goin a few times a week doing a physical activity can keep your metabloism up and burning all day long............

It's better to learn about your body when your young and can burn off things that aren't working then to wait till your in your 30's and just start to figure out what works good for your body.

Don't waste your time Cheri, she'll learn that lesson quite well as she gets older.  In another 10 years she'll wish she was you.  After a kid or two she'll finally get her wish and be twice  the woman you are, all 250lbs of her.

True you can eat whatever you want for some amount of time and itis true a "calorie will be a calorie" you can maintain "a weight" but your skin becomes thick and you are not hard,I think just  adonis's chipmunk cheeks might be able to be pulled out farther than dumbo's ears.
Cheri and Mike on the other hand eat healthy food so you can see by the pics they have no acne and their skin tone is healthy and glows,TA and Jizz have pimples and oily "rubber man" skin

Yeah, but I would never call youf GF an ugly prostitute.  That goes beyond web board razzing into white trash insults.  it's fun to blow off steam owning and trading barbs to sharpen wits and be amused.  But Cheri called this girl a flat, ugly prostitute.

IMO, any woman with a boob job cannot call any other woman 'flat'. 

Give it up.

It's called thrash talking.

You pick the weirdest moments to be a prudent moral church man.

Give it a fcuking break.

These two women are grown adults. Let 'em handle their business.

On a side note:
Jezebelle is the one who is good looking and fit.

Even I felt that one.

Chimps, I was trying to be a little diplomatic because of how vain some people can be. Ultimately, it's more a statement on how little women have progressed in our society. Then again, pretty girls get more attention and on some level (evoloution) no one wants ugly children. I meet a lot of pretty girls but in generel most of them lack any substance whatsoever and bring very little to the table other than being pretty (which isn't that special).

Cheri - I want to see pics posted immediately after prejudging and the night show.  In fact, pics of the whole experience would be cool...the drive to the auditorium, the prep in the hotel room, back stage, etc.  Also, will there be sompne video taping the routine and taking good pics during the show?  Keep us in the loop!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Mike--gotta say, very impressive! :o I know everyone else has already said it, but you're an inspiration! It's easy to hold that fat and tell yourself it's mostly muscle and you can see abs, huh? I've been doing the same for a while now. I was in about the same shape you started in and thought I looked pretty good.

I came around and realized how bad it was one day and started losing weight but then I got very sick (not due to the diet). Anyway, the docs didn't even know what it was but in the end I lost over 12 inches of my large intestine. Recovery was (is) a bitch and once I could stand to eat again I gained about 30lbs over what I was at before it started.

Surgery was in May 05 and I've been having trouble with motivation since. I've started back to the gym and then quickly lost interest or made excuses for myself----then I saw you're thread(s).

Gotta say, I thought you were full of shit and wouldn't do it... Obviously, you suprised me and many others. I've been kicking ass in the gym and eating like I should for a few weeks now. I feel great and am looking a ton better. Thanks for having the balls to make me feel like I should "put up or shut up".

Let's see some more pics ;D

P.S. Sorry about the long post!

It's soooooooo easy.  I eat anything I want all year long.  I usually have a cookie ice cream sandwich or a piece of cake for breakfast.  I finish off a whole can of whipped cream in a day.  hahhahah.  I love to cook and I eat alot of steak (not lean-doesn't taste good), cheeseburgers, mexican, pasta, Taco bell, Subway, etc.  I've never "dieted," I'm just cutting down my calories slightly with my boyfriend, and I've been losing at least a pound of fat a week.  A calorie is a calorie is a calorie!  

I've never done cardio ever.  My cardio consists of laying on a raft in a pool.  That heat gets your heart pumping!  I'm very strong, I do compound movements--military, deadlifts, bench, etc 2 or 3 times a week.  Forty-five mins to an hour is all you need.      

And it's really funny, baby, cause I also woke up exactly 1.5 lbs less after eating that steak!  
Sweet! youll be a fatf*ck before you know it  ;)

  Karma Chameleon

DO YOU REALL WANT TO HURT ME - 23/10/1982
3 weeks at #1 - 18 weeks on chart

Give me time to realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses, words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart the fire's burning
Choose my colour, find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step, a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Words are few I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow, words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
You've been talking but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go

If it's love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything is not what you see
It's over again

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green

Don't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you're gone forever
You string along, you string along

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green

Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival

You're my lover, not my rival

I dont post much......but I just wanted to say to mike that he looks awesome!  That dedication is unreal.  Tear it up man.

Jezebelle and TA.... at the begginning stages of a diet you may loose weight just by cutting some cals, but you will plateau.  Im 21 and loosing weight is easy doing no cardio and just cutting cals a bit.  BUT to get into bb shape you will need:
-cardio
-cutting sugar and carbs
-eating bland food

You can achieve a ripped appealing physique, but not a bbing physique.  
PS Cheri you are SERIOUSLY HOT!  LOVE THE BOOBS!

I used to workout on a Marine Corps base where we had the old solid single-piece dumbbells.  No plates or urethane.  You don't see those much anymore.  And keep in mind that I am 5'10.5", and weigh at least 150 lbs in that pic.  Of course I look big compared to the weight. ;)

What does it matter?  You're owned anyway.  Have you filmed your lifts yet?

Firstly, stop addressing your battle with Ice to me.  I am not her.  >:(  I can handle my own battles, thank you.

Secondly if you are curling 25 lb dumbbells why don't you just go back to the gym, hold one in a curled position, showing the weight?  Prove Miss Ice wrong.  Not me.  I personally don't care what you lift, as we can already tell by your pictures you curl more than 10 lbs.   Just one thing, after reading her post again, I believe she claims something about your hand size, not your body size.     

Btw, The day you "own" me, is the day your sweet Adam wins the "O".  Believe me, I think you look good, but you don't "own" me.  ;)   

And as I said to your boytoy, if you want to see my lifts, hop on a plane or take a road trip hun.  We can train together.  We can hit City Place (look it up, it's an awesome place in West Palm, you'ld enjoy it...honest, no joke) after.  :D

So I will believe that TA and Jez are a sweet couple.

Dude are you ok?

Mike is a tub of lard in the pic to the left....far cry from what he is now.  

How is that better than my contest ready physique?

You and I both already know that no one is hopping on a plane.  But somehow between the two of you brokeasss, you scrounged up enough money to buy a video camera.

So now you have no excuse.
Not sure where you get the "brokeass" from, we are not that bad off, lmao.  Funny though, you challenge me to a lifting contest, but want me to start everything off.

I tell you what Jezzy, you video tape yourself and your lifts in a gym (no home shit) showing the weight and post it, post it in the pictures of members and more and I will sticky the thread.  Then I will video tape mine and post it right with yours.  ;) 

What do you say?

Mike, you look amazing.  I cant believe the before and after pics.  After the show are you going to bulk up like the first picture or are you going to keep your weight down?  I was going to go to the show, but Rooms to Go gave me a furniture delivery time frame of 7am through 10pm so I have to stay home.  

Best of luck.  You look great.  Great job.

put your money where your big fat mouth is.......

if i finish last or close to it, ill spend a month posting how great you are
if i finish first or close to it you have to do the same

(instead of rewarding someone or saying something nice about someones hard work
you just spew forth negativity and jealousy

I got news for you little man.Until you get the balls to actually get on-stage instead of running your that big mouth of yours, you don't have anything to say . I've seen your pics & when you(if you ever do,that is)get dieted down ,you won't be able to be in half the condition Mike is. So make your little pussy comments all you want,but remember one thing,at least Mike has the balls to put it all on the line,what have you done? Don't bother I'll tell you,N-O-T-H-I-N-G, nothing that is but run your trap.

Mike A looks pretty good, conditioning is pretty good for his first show!  I'm sure he knows the areas he needs to improve.  Bring them up and I'm sure he will become even better.

He has a lot of balls to be so open on the site like this and face the inevitable haters and jealous jerks.  It adds alot of depth to this site.  More than most would do, kudos to Mike.

Of course I support Mike in every way, but ALL the people in charge of the show& even some NPC judges I spoke too, said Mike was the best conditioned athlete in the show. He was hard as nails & looked like a piece of granite, so all you haters,fuck-off!

I got news for you little man.Until you get the balls to actually get on-stage instead of running your that big mouth of yours, you don't have anything to say . I've seen your pics & when you(if you ever do,that is)get dieted down ,you won't be able to be in half the condition Mike is. So make your little pussy comments all you want,but remember one thing,at least Mike has the balls to put it all on the line,what have you done? Don't bother I'll tell you,N-O-T-H-I-N-G, nothing that is but run your trap.

How 'bout it less..Only we know what it costs to get into the shape you need to be to step on stage. True Adonis doesnt know this. Let it be. Doesnt matter. Jealousy is a sign of weakness TA... ANd WOWZAS for Mrs Less !!  :)

Mike, looking awesome up there man.  Be proud, you belong up there. Im assuming your home until the night show? Thats nice man, I would be stuck in ths city all day.. :( At least you get to go home, relax, and eat what you like...Have fun tonight man! The tough part is over!

WHy dont you share with the folks that never been on stage before how tiring, and exhausting pre judging can be! SOme of these folks dont understand, as they can never endure a 12 week contest diet. Ever..

Congrats man!  8)

eh, don't sweat the haters Larry.  That's what they live for.  They obviously can't or haven't even tried to get to the same depth as those who have gone as far as to step on a stage, so they have their comments.  It only shows they obviously don't have a body builders body or mind set.  Michael is far from being the perfect BB, or a Pro, but he has made drastic changes to both his body and thought process of the sport.  Those who have never done so can't see that, so what do they have to go on?  You can't blame them for their ignorance.  Michael was at one time one of these idiots, but he stepped up to the plate and put his money where his mouth is and came out better for it.  I commend Michael for all he has achieved, no matter where he places.  I am very proud of him and love him very much!  This truly has been a wonderful experience for him ... and it's not over yet.  :D

Thanks Herc! Only those who have been there know what it takes. I haven't been saying too much but, Mike has lost almost 70lbs & really suffered to get in the condition he achieved,not to mention losing a member of the family in the process,had a major car wreck,abcessed tooth & sick as a dog 3-4 times & a few other things along the way, & he still sucked it up & did not back down one bit & all these little insecure punks can do is find something to fault. If they took half a moment to realize this or know what reallly good people Mike & Laura are, they too would be proud. I am enternally grateful for the opportunity to have gotten to know Mike & Laura & if he never gets onstage again, he has proven to everyone (& most importantly himself) that he is a warrior & not a big mouth wanna-be

He definately imho is redlining his conditioning..super thin skin, even has a christmas tree coming out on his lowerback...Scarier is that if he stays on course,  hes gonna be even bigger and better for his next show..

AND THIS IS THE FIRST SHOW HE EVER DIETED FOR..TALK ABOUT NAILING IT ON THE FIRST SHOT!!  8)

See how simply I cut & pasted Mike's picture to a neutral white backdrop....Mike really looks better.


Good job mike.  You know which bodyparts you need to bring up now...just hit it heavy.

Wow - amazing conditioning + look at Mike's FACE!!!!   Like a completely different person!

Amazing.

I hear what candidate's saying though, but now that Mike has stripped ALL his fat off - again, fucking amazing, dude! - as long as he doesnt let himself blow up like a pig post-contest, I bet he's gonna settle a much, much, much better, leaner, fuller "off-season" look.

I.e., not as fat/bulky before, but obviously not as ripped as he is now.

Remmeber candidate, you only know how you REALLY look, once you strip the FAT off - otherwise all that bulk is just fat/

Mike:

Your legs would probably look a tad bit better if you stood a bit wider.  In a lot of those shots you have your heels so close together you look narrow, where as the guy next to you is in a bit wider stance and it opens him up a bit more (he might have legs better than yours but the difference isn't as much as it appears).

Oh and its a testiment to what you've achieved that you've got people now talking about things like your legs.  Don't sweat it too much I don't see anybody really giving you shit on conditioning.  Goal achieved.

Good luck tonight

I had to say I got fifth out of 6 but so what.
Mike ....my fifth place trophy will always be the sweetest....cherish it
Props to Cheri ...lot of competitors I know get little support....a lot of the wives and girlfriends don't even attend the shows.

Third place out of three isn`t so bad.  I once won a debate trophy, 1st place out of 1st.

Honestly, he should have just dieted for himself and not competed.

Its a perfectly normal thing to wonder.  Everybody thinks it.  You're supposed to pretend that it isn't an interesting fact to know. ::)

Its almost as if knowing that he got 3rd of 3 would make his achievement any less.  Competition night means shit all, he's been doing this for months.  He was a winner before he stepped on to the stage.

if i finish last or close to it, ill spend a month posting how great you are
if i finish first or close to it you have to do the same

(instead of rewarding someone or saying something nice about someones hard work
you just spew forth negativity and jealousy
if you don't have something nice to say then just shut the f**k up)


Mike, you feeling okay?  You seemed to get through the last few months of dieting without really stressing too much on here.  You seemed to go off on goat here.

Anyway, yeah, I am interested in details... Who did mike beat, who beat mike, did he slay a few guys younger than him, was is mass or conditioning that cost him?  Was anything fishiy with the judging?  How close was it, etc etc!

I'm not flaming, Cheri.  I'm curious.

There is nothing wrong with it unless there is self esteem invested in the plastic trophy you have received.  Never mind looking down at what you've become, whats important is that people value your trophy.

   Most of the young guys on here will not appreciate the hard work you accomplished until they themselves are near our age.

There's like about 2 people being negative and basically the rest of the board is impressed by his achievement (not to mention complimentary).   

Why are people even referencing "the haters"?  Seems to me some people want to act like they're being dogged at every corner to add a bit of drama.

240 seeing it is so important for you to know this and not just be able to say "Michael Good Job", Michael place 3rd out of 4 (Here is 2 pics of the 4 Heavyweights, The guy on the far left won 2nd, the second guy from the left won 1st and Michael 3rd.) in the Open Heavyweight (he could have taken the "easy" way out and gone in a Novice class, but the Expeditor asked him if he wanted a hollow win or a real competition and Michael went for the competition...and did very well).  He also took 4th out of 7 in the Masters (Masters was actually considered the toughest in the whole show and had the most entries).  He did his best, he placed as far as I am concerned very well for a first timer.  They (the expeditor and judges) were amazed that it was his first show.  So thanks again for showing your support by saying "Good job Mike, you did what you set out to do and competed.  You are now a NPC Competitive Bodybuilder.  Way to go."  Oh wait...you didn't say that, you said "How many people were in the Open heavyweight class?".


Anyway ... to those who actually matter:

Thank you all for your support, kind words, offers of encouragement, "constructive" criticism and interest in Michael's Road to Compete.

An extra big thanks to Larry and Mrs. Larry for all their help and support through Michaels prep.  You guys are the best!!!  :-*

And also a huge thank you to delta9mda who drove an hour to see Michael in his first contest.  Thank you so much delta, it was nice to meet you!  :)

cheri, your man is a lifelong BBing fan.  he did his first show today.  He did well.  instead of spending time with him and having fun, you're melting down on the boards playing word games. Relax.  This is what Tosha did after Bob did the masters, remember?

Melting down?  ROFLMAO, hardly.  Just because you piss people off and they respond, doesn't mean they are melting down.  A melt down would consist of one closing their account and then coming back to the boards looking for sympathy by stating they are dying from a disease (what did you say it was? liver disease or something like that).  That my dear...is a meltdown, but then again...you already know that  :-*. 

And with that I bid you all a good night because I am gonna go and have some fun with a NPC Competitive Bodybuilder.  ;)

asking how many were in your class is a normal question that everyone that competes gets asked...But i do understand coming from 240 you may see it as a loaded question...

If it was 3 out of 15 or 3 out of 3, people with class will give you the same feedback and it will be positive...

I agree.  But I don't think I have been cruel at all.  Cheri and I have battled, but me and Mike are cool and I very rarely mess with him- I only worried about the health side- about the strain of a first Bbing show at 40+ and losing 1/4 of one's body mass in 3-4 months is huge.  Billy Carp dying was a horrible thing, and I would hate to see that happen again.

Sure, some have been cruel, and some are outright insulting them right now. But I'm not. I just asked about the placement.  And she's focusing on me for some reason.

Wow, thanks.  I actually did a redesign and launched it, but things were dead.  i went back to the ugly site :) that I have had, and things picked right back up.  I'm slammed with sites- more from local businesses than from the web- so I haven't been able to look at my own.  I'm actually launching a second business- selling the sites for 475 to 500 for local firms... but they'll always be $300 for my getbig people and the people they send :)

Everyone has that option, of course!

For someone who just wants one site, it's often easier to just pay $300 for everything (completely customized until they're 100% happy) and let them spend their time growing their product/service.  My experience and education definitely come in handy too.

For someone that wants to do this for a living... it's HARD.  I give my customers 100% satisfaction guarantees.  Some sites take 1-3 weeks of 4-6 hours a day.  I have absolutely no life lol... that's why most guys charge way more, so they can enjoy life.  I KNOW that I undercharge, but I'd prefer to lose a little margin than to have wasted capacity.  I haven't had a day in 2 months that I haven't been working at least 6 hours lol... most days 12 or 14.

LOL Awesome debate.... 240 vs. Frontpage!

$200 plus tax...212.

My sites cost $88 bucks more, and I eat the tax.  All the client has to do is tell me what they want, and it gets built.  They get 2-3 emails a day during the design process.  They tell me what they like, what they don't, and I grow it. Pic galleries, flash, video clips, ecomm systems, and of course, the business acumen and skill of a guy who has taught web des since 2001 and been doing it all day every day since Nov/Dec.  

If the tens of hours you spend building the site on your own is worth it, that is awesome.  But when I need a new shirt, I don't learn to sew.  I buy it, and save myself the 30 hours of sewing class so that I can do what is more profitable for me.  you only get so many hours per week, and if you can outsource a time-intensive task and do what makes you money, it makes sense.

(I often sell my websites to local firms looking to hire a part-timer.  I let them know that they're hiring a kid who needs a desk, PC, software, who could slip and fall and sue, who brings  his baggage to work.  They almost always prefer to outsource it- prepay $300 and get peace of mind. )

Psychology Major or frequent viewer of Dr. Phil?

Neither.  But did I miss a "fight" between you all?  Or did the present animosity begin recently? 


It really seems like TA and Jezebelle would have a lot in common w/Laura and Mike and I don't understand the fighting.

Mike, you feeling okay?  You seemed to get through the last few months of dieting without really stressing too much on here.  You seemed to go off on goat here.

Anyway, yeah, I am interested in details... Who did mike beat, who beat mike, did he slay a few guys younger than him, was is mass or conditioning that cost him?  Was anything fishiy with the judging?  How close was it, etc etc!

I'm not flaming, Cheri.  I'm curious.
his condition was some of the top in the show. and he was a first timer. and he was really really hard .  adonis, put up, or shut up.

Yep, so at least he won't be dead last.  (he might get the "worst quads" award, though.  ;D)

go f**k yourself you negative bastard

put your money where your big fat mouth is.......

if i finish last or close to it, ill spend a month posting how great you are
if i finish first or close to it you have to do the same

(instead of rewarding someone or saying something nice about someones hard work
you just spew forth negativity and jealousy

Macromedia Version 240.0 is a helluva product.  Occasionally it'll melt down and threaten to kill Frontpage when you talk about Fireworks... but other than that, it's the wittiest web design program around.

I thought about consulting you with this website I'm building with my friend, but alas, I opted for Dreamworks Studio 8. Which includes the fireworks and all the other programs as well. Simple and worth it in my opinion. It blows Frontpage out of the water.

yes , arvilla and his bitch are two really ridiculous and insecure people.

But, robert ziruolo has nothing to envy to em.
He s basically a spermbag with no life and who will die of a very painful death one day, after some real random thug will beat him with a stick or/and shoot him in the head for being a fucking embarassement to mankind.
I mean, this guy must be so annoying in real life. Can you imagine talking to the face of someone like him? i wouldnt be able to do it for more than 2 min. He s the kind of people you imemdiately hate nd want to see die.

But, thats why he stay at home on his computer 7/7 24/24 365 days a year, because he s just a piece of shit.

At least arvilla and his bitch are able to achieve something in real life.



ALL in all, people on this board are taking it too seriously, too far,and it only shows how lame are their everyday lifes.

Good god, am I missing something here? Why are people complaining about 240 asking how many were in the class? It is an entirely normal question, and relevant. If someone places 9th, that may sound sucky, but if there were 35 people in the class than that is actually very good.

There is nothing wrong with the question, although I must confess it is one I have dreaded myself ;D

Competing within itself is very difficult so hence an accomplishment on it's own, a high placing is only icing on the cake. Congrats on a great transformation Mike...both physical and mental.

Everyone has that option, of course!

For someone who just wants one site, it's often easier to just pay $300 for everything (completely customized until they're 100% happy) and let them spend their time growing their product/service.  My experience and education definitely come in handy too.

For someone that wants to do this for a living... it's HARD.  I give my customers 100% satisfaction guarantees.  Some sites take 1-3 weeks of 4-6 hours a day.  I have absolutely no life lol... that's why most guys charge way more, so they can enjoy life.  I KNOW that I undercharge, but I'd prefer to lose a little margin than to have wasted capacity.  I haven't had a day in 2 months that I haven't been working at least 6 hours lol... most days 12 or 14.

No disrespect 240...and I will be the first to admit that I know nothing about building a website...but sitting in front of your laptop in the air conditioning  isn't what I would call work. ;)..lol..

I agree.  But I don't think I have been cruel at all.  Cheri and I have battled, but me and Mike are cool and I very rarely mess with him- I only worried about the health side- about the strain of a first Bbing show at 40+ and losing 1/4 of one's body mass in 3-4 months is huge.  Billy Carp dying was a horrible thing, and I would hate to see that happen again.



Now you are worried about Mike dying? He is a healthy man of 40 years old. He isn't some mega steroid taking, diuretic using junkie.

LOL Awesome debate.... 240 vs. Frontpage!

$200 plus tax...212.

My sites cost $88 bucks more, and I eat the tax.  All the client has to do is tell me what they want, and it gets built.  They get 2-3 emails a day during the design process.  They tell me what they like, what they don't, and I grow it. Pic galleries, flash, video clips, ecomm systems, and of course, the business acumen and skill of a guy who has taught web des since 2001 and been doing it all day every day since Nov/Dec. 

If the tens of hours you spend building the site on your own is worth it, that is awesome.  But when I need a new shirt, I don't learn to sew.  I buy it, and save myself the 30 hours of sewing class so that I can do what is more profitable for me.  you only get so many hours per week, and if you can outsource a time-intensive task and do what makes you money, it makes sense.

(I often sell my websites to local firms looking to hire a part-timer.  I let them know that they're hiring a kid who needs a desk, PC, software, who could slip and fall and sue, who brings  his baggage to work.  They almost always prefer to outsource it- prepay $300 and get peace of mind. )

LOL Awesome debate.... 240 vs. Frontpage!

$200 plus tax...212.

My sites cost $88 bucks more, and I eat the tax.  All the client has to do is tell me what they want, and it gets built.  They get 2-3 emails a day during the design process.  They tell me what they like, what they don't, and I grow it. Pic galleries, flash, video clips, ecomm systems, and of course, the business acumen and skill of a guy who has taught web des since 2001 and been doing it all day every day since Nov/Dec. 

If the tens of hours you spend building the site on your own is worth it, that is awesome.  But when I need a new shirt, I don't learn to sew.  I buy it, and save myself the 30 hours of sewing class so that I can do what is more profitable for me.  you only get so many hours per week, and if you can outsource a time-intensive task and do what makes you money, it makes sense.

(I often sell my websites to local firms looking to hire a part-timer.  I let them know that they're hiring a kid who needs a desk, PC, software, who could slip and fall and sue, who brings  his baggage to work.  They almost always prefer to outsource it- prepay $300 and get peace of mind. )


Just a quick comment on what Laura said regarding Rob's sites.

I was/am in the market for a web site. I went to a local company and discussed my needs. In the process I pulled up a couple of Rob's sites for the web designer to look at and we had a brief discussion  ( yes I have a life& no he's not in my head, I used the sites as examples of basic concepts and related prices.) I was told those sites were good basic sites, but nothing to write home about. The designer ( Alex ) said he suspects the fact that they are basic is a comment on lack of creativity, commitment and the lack of an artistic eye, not lack of tech knowlodge. I was also told ( something I did not know ) that all the templates and resources needed for the site are available on line free.

I guess everyone starts somewhere.

Rob, you have an MBA and have offered a great deal of marketing advice to people on the board. You have bargin basement prices, yet still " eat the tax." I was taught that cutting prices below a reasonable  amount compremises the perception of quality by potential consumers.

Is this perception of ( relative ) quality a concern to you? Your now going on record as saying you " eat the tax ." I assume you pay the government out of your own pocket. This would lead some less then liberal thinkers to wonder how the accounting practices of your company work. Do you do your own book of hire an outside accounting firm? I hope this is not too forward a question, but is all your income declared? You stated you earned $60,000., last year, was this reflected in your reports to the IRS? I only ask this because if you plan on doing the same thing this year ( I assume you will make at least as much or project to ) you will be " eating " $2400., for people who can write off the total cost of their business web sites. This is poor business.

Also, I wonder if you concider your conduct on GetBig as a limiting factor in your growth. If I was to do business with you and you quoted me a time of " x" for the completion of work I surely would factor into things your commitment to customer service based on  the excessive time you spend on-line playing word games with people. Someone buys the perception of you as a business man as much as the products you produce. You are your service and if you were taken more seriously, you might not need to discount your  products so much.

I ask these questions in a non bias's fashion. I wonder if you could comment on them.

Regards,
The Beef

Read: "How many guys did Mike beat?"

I don't see what's so vicious about the question.

ok, let's try this...

1) weedy brought up 6-8 posts on the merits of frontpage.  I simply posted why going with me as a designer might outweigh frontpage.

2)  I was honestly interested in where mike placed.  The heavyweight class in the only show that ever came to my hick town had way more than 3, IIRC.  It was a legitimate question.

3)  Way before I ran a web des company, getbig was a place to blow off steam.  It still is! Sure, I pick up some jobs here, but

4) I never claimed to build $5000 websites.  I think I deliver a pretty decent package for $300.  I also NEVER claimed to be an artist!  I will be the first to tell you that I can't dress, I certainly can't work as an interior designer, and I am a competition strategist first, marketer 2nd, and web guy 3rd.  

5)  Taxes- I keep 2 shoeboxes.  Every time I sell anything, I print a copy for the Nike box.  Everytime I buy anything I might be able to write off, I put it in the Airwalk shoebox.   I go to H & R Block and basically buy the deluxe package... they do everything while I read a book.  I hate paying them LOL... but I have bought two high end computers this year, which should offset them somewhat.  I'm not shady.  I have enough headaches without worrying about pissing off the IRS!

No disrespect 240...and I will be the first to admit that I know nothing about building a website...but sitting in front of your laptop in the air conditioning  isn't what I would call work. ;)..lol..

LOL in the beginning, I was super-happy just to not have to wear a tie to work or park in a big lot and ge up at 7 am everyday...  And I still enjoy it.  But I never stop working at 5 pm.  Most of my clients are west coast, and they all call from 11 pm to 1 am, nearly every night :)

keith- I respect that web designer's opinion.  Art is not my forte.  Fast production is.  My biggest selling point is that the client can draw a pic of the site they want, and I can build it to match their vision perfectly.  Sometimes there are times when I cannot do it- and I sometimes pay to consult with local experts to teach me a particular skill.  It's worth it to me- I have the skill for the next time.  And the price is still the same to the clients, $300.  

And being on getbig a lot is actually a benefit.  I have a pretty good grasp of the political and social sides of this sport.  When a client wants a site, I am able to ask questions like, would you like to include content on recent events X,Y,Z?  And getbig is fun! I have a very pregnant wife, so going hiking, hitting the mall, movies, etc, isn't an option.  I'm grounded for the next few months :)

Finally, there are always the same 5-8 people who are going to atttack me no matter what I say.  I started a 'congrats thread' at the same times I posted about number in class, for more info.  I also saved the pics and was hooking up some Arvilla trading cards til Cheri came at me and I had to fight off attackers.

MMmmm breakfast time.

The majority of Rob's services are sold to out-of-state customers, so he is neither collecting nor paying any sales tax on those transactions.  

At the end of the year, he'll report his business income less expenses, and that will determine what he pays to both the IRS and his state's tax board.  

There's nothing shady or benevolent about what he's doing - he just worded it incorrectly.

As for the number of competitors, if you go to local shows much, you will realize each year it's a different story. Last year, there was only 2 novice competitors at the Southern Classic, this year, there were more than 10.

Also, I find it a little interesting that I said congrats and asked about the class.  Adonis & his woman beat the hell out of mike with insults and mocked his placing.  yet it's quiet around them.

Methinks the angry responses are based upon past instances of me getting under people's skin on other topics and they are using this to try to attack back. 

The HVWT class here... was many months ago... but I think there were like 8 guys, and it wasn't even an NPC qualifer.  I figured in Miami there might be 15 guys onstage.  That's why I aksed- wasn't being condescending at all.

I still would have bitten his head off regardless of the amount of competitors rocket, whether it be 3 or 30.  It had nothing to do with the amount of athletes.  I'm proud of Michael regardless of where he placed because I know what he did to get there.  He didn't have to enter an Open contest, he could have easily went into Novice and believe me...it would have been an easy win.  But he wanted a competition as that was what he did all this for, and that's what he got.  Conditionally he was a better athelete on that stage (as was claimed by the expeditor, who told Michael to go for the challenge, not the easy win, and a number of judges), but he was not the biggest guy on that stage.   I was pissed because it was the first question 240 asked.  He claims to be his "friend" of Michaels, that he has genuine concerns for Michael and his health and the first thing off his finger tips is how many were in his class?  Please, if he was 1/2 the caring person he claims to be towards Michael he would have said congratulations bro first, how do you feel secondly and how many others in your class last.  But 240 is 240.  He likes to shit on everyones parade regardless of what it is.  He will never understand what someone goes through to get to contest level, let alone be in one.  So why should he open his mouth and pretend he cares on one thread and then backstab in another.  This thread was meant to mock Michael not contratulate him as he had already posted his crap in the other thread first, I responded to his remark, he responded to mine and THEN he created this thread.   

So in the end, no it's not a bad question...but if it is the first one coming out of your mouth...it's insultive.  And if anyone thinks differently, it's because they have never stepped on the stage before.

I think you need to take a step back and realise that most people considered mike to be a winner a long time ago.  We've been endlessly positive the whole time and complimented on his success.  The concept of "mike in shape" and "mike having achieved his goals" really was effective over a while back.  The only thing left to comment on was the show and the particulars and it is far from the first thing to say to ask that question because we've been here throughout his prep and said plenty of things. 

As I say, mike won a long time ago to most of us and we let him know already.

Rocket, you know I have been thanking everyone that has been supportive all along.  My comments to 240 are based on his constant backward compliments and remarks.  He, as I said before, supposedly thinks he is a friend of Michaels but then goes and says the most stupid things.  There are those that I know if either Michael or myself were standing in front of (ie: True Adonis and Jezebelle) would still probably offer the same snide remarks to our faces and to tell you the truth, and I would respect that.  Then there is 240 who if were in our presence would probably just babble.

Well enough said about 240.  In my opinion he is not worth any more comments from me.  So 240, when ya come back from they gym...know that your words do not matter to me nor Michael.  Say whatever you want as you have already shown what you are to everyone here and there is no more need to banter with such a person as yourself.  Have a good life with your wife and new baby.

Rob, you have an MBA and have offered a great deal of marketing advice to people on the board. You have bargin basement prices, yet still " eat the tax." I was taught that cutting prices below a reasonable  amount compremises the perception of quality by potential consumers.

I don't do this for the money! lol...

I was making more $ as a DNN proj mrg.... but the experience of running a business all alone is worth more in the long run IMO. Each week I have to find new business in a field where consumers usually only buy ONCE.  I then have to build the site completely to meet the exact specs of someone I can never sit down with (too far away usually), so I have to be an excellent communicator.  I have to stay super-organized, prioritize, and survive in an environment where everything is always changing and really, there is no honor amongst web guys!  Guys love to talk about why their $1500 package is a better deal than my $300 deal, and I am forever defending myself on GB against attacks.  All while buying a new home and keeping the wife happy.

So another year of this, and I will be a very strong businessman, able to build something from nothing.  I'll take on a partner, hire two part-timers, and start my multimedia company.  I'm producing a dvd right now for a local fitness competitor, and of course, I have a few projects I can't talk about yet :)  I'm taking 2 art classes this summer at a local college to improve my eye.  I spend an hour a day reading either php, db, or advanced flash so i can always grow.  I'm not too worried about consumer perception- usually, with a 5 minute conversation with anyone, I can quantify the value I bring to their firm and they jump on it.  I tell them up front that I undercharge, because I would rather have an unbeatable skillset and experience at the end of 2 years, than a nice bank account/job I hate/and not know what's next.

240, what am I missing? Why is there all this debate about your web site business on this thread?? Im reading about the show, and then there is all this crap/debate about web site business, etc...  :-\

when they ran out of arguments last night, weedouttheweek started bashing my business and posting all this frontpage stuff.  Giftwrapped a chance to defend myself and talk about why i just might be a better value than frontpage.   So it might have backfired on them, who knows.  but you can read back, I didn't bring it up, and even when I ignored, weed kept inviting me back.

Back to arvilla, I'd like to see the pics of the class where he took 4th out of 7.   masters class? Also the 3rd out of 4 would be cool to see too.   We've all been following the progress he's made for the last 6 months... I'm sure many want to see what he looked like onstage and how it was won/lost against the other guys.

You obviously have no clue. It doesnt matter how much or what gear you take, to look and get in the coniditon mike is in isnt attributed to gear, its hard  work dieting, eating right and cardio... Before he started dieting for his show, he wasnt even close to contest shape...learn your stuff man before making such retarded comments. Gear isnt muscle in a bottle.

This is where I think your a total retard. I held myself back so many times, after reading your threads/posts..you are so clueless for someone that acts like hes something. If its so easy, and your a genetic Freak, and your brag about how awesome you look, why havent you competed??? Seriously, you knock on what Mike did, like its SO EASY..Well, 100% anyone that has done it will tell you ITS NOT EASY. Especially for Mike, from wher ehe came from...he cam a long, long way...and he looks waaaaaay better than YOU! Thats the KICKER!

Mr. Adonis,

With all due respect, dieting is not the easiest thing in the world. Hence, why you have so many obese & overweight Americans alike on the verge of serious health conditions or even death.  Dieting isn't easy on the body or the mind, it takes serious discipline and a lot of time and money to stick with.  Most here work a 9-5 job and have families, making it difficult sometimes to make it to the gym or to fund some of these diet fads.  Be patient with us, for as although you are a seasoned veteran in this sport, the rest of us might not have the discipline and/or time to truly reach our goals at godspeed.

Mike and Laura seem to be open, positive people. You seize ever opportunity to shit on people you can . . . it's pathetic. You gotta grow up man. In addition to this there's some kid here that shits on Laura's looks and uses her image as an  " uncomplimentary " avatar . . . keep it up Bro, cause I'm loving that avatar. No reasonable adult can question Laura's looks. Mike and Laura come across as good people.

Just fro the record, any work done by H&R Block on your behalf is only gonna be as accurate as the information you give them. It needs to be audited against declarations from others ( customers )

The reason why most Americans are overweight is due to laziness,inconvenience and lack of knowledge.  Eating 1500-2000 calories everyday is also very cheap.   A competiton diet should be a whole lot cheaper than an offseason diet.  The same rule should apply for anyone making a calorie reduction.  I have a 9-5 job and it actually makes things a whole lot easier in that my break times are structured so I can eat on the dot every day.  It really is not hard if you know what to do and when to do it.

The majority of Rob's services are sold to out-of-state customers, so he is neither collecting nor paying any sales tax on those transactions. 

At the end of the year, he'll report his business income less expenses, and that will determine what he pays to both the IRS and his state's tax board. 

There's nothing shady or benevolent about what he's doing - he just worded it incorrectly.

LOL... if I wasn't married, I wouldn't be on getbig!  I'd be out having fun :)

In case you missed my m*ltdown, it was because that punk MattT posted my wife's work information here and eencouraged ppl to contact her.  If I wasn't really married, posting my fictitious wife's information wouldn't be that big a deal. 

Seriously, i think my reputation causes ppl to overreact to anything I say.  I asked about mike's weight class and Cheri made threats on me.  If Ron or CQ had asked the same question, would Cheri have cursed them out? Not likely. 

I'm not that big of a prick.  Chick, IMO, is a poor rep for the athletes.  He started out by saying that he reps the PDI AND IFBB guys' interests, then changed his position.  When Toronto Pro was cancelled, he sympathized with Winston and told the athletes to "make lemonade".  He made some terrible accusations about me, then when they were proven untrue, he just dropped it.  Chick has called me every name in the book on getbig. 

My rep causes ppl to overreact bigtime.  I could post the same stuff from a troll acct and most would get ignored.

I think you need to take a step back and realise that most people considered mike to be a winner a long time ago.  We've been endlessly positive the whole time and complimented on his success.  The concept of "mike in shape" and "mike having achieved his goals" really was effective over a while back.  The only thing left to comment on was the show and the particulars and it is far from the first thing to say to ask that question because we've been here throughout his prep and said plenty of things. 

As I say, mike won a long time ago to most of us and we let him know already.
Ditto. This comment is right on the money.

And I would like to keep my wife out of it, Beef.  Some ppl here don't know how to separate real life from message boards, and people have called my house before, pranking with some cruel stuff.  I know there are crazies in the world, and since my wife has no involvement here, I would like to keep her out of the conversation.

I'm not an accountant, but I believe the law states that anything over $100 needs to be deprecaited over time.

I would suggest, when you decide to get big, setting up an LLC. Now, that we the laws start working in your favor.

too bad you dont walk the walk.

See, here Power Rod outright insults mike.
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=77484.0

Yet he isn't being attacked, cursed, threatened, etc.

I posted twice- one said 'congrats mike' and one asked about his weight class.  Within minutes Cheria had called me every name in the book.  IMO it was some misdirected anger.  She might assume I was being a prick, but I wasn't.
maybe she just likes me more than you.

No we should care this dumbass posted diet advice once and it was totally wrong!
Some people looking to get into competitions come here  ::) god knows why for advice and he spouts bullshit.
Yeah his dieting is so easy! Because he has no muscle that makes his appetite outrageous! Not only does he talk the wrong talk but he walks his fucked up walk, if you want to look good do the opposite of every thing Adonis says ok newbs!

Now that the whole thing is over, I wonder if Arvilla would care to reassess and critique his cutting diet?  IMO, his extreme diet caused him to lose way too much muscle. The bits and pieces he shared looked like he was basically on an all-protein diet! Now, maybe this was necessary because of how fat he was to begin with, I don't know, but it seems to me he unnecessarily sacrificed a ton of muscle.

Comments?



(PS: 10 to 1 Cheri calls me a "hater", despite this being an honest question.)
I personally think he did too much cardio too early on.

Yeah pretty much since I laid my foundation eons ago and now only have to maintain.
For someone looking to get onstage and look great I'd say 1/4th deads, and front squats with sissy squats.

I would agree Mike might have overdieted it happens  for your first contest BUT it's better to come in overdieted with the skin razor sharp then to come in andmake an ass of yourself with love handles. He did the right thing and felt the pain, and now he can make changes next time around that's what it's all about betting yourself and being the best next time around. I'm sure next time he wont drop the carbs as fast.

He looked great and went a long way

You can't beat 300 dollars for a website. This is the monster truth, and that's why people keep going to Rob to get sites done. Anyone bashing Rob needs a cold glass of Haterrade!

I agree. Unless you are willing to fuck around with frontpage or whatever other program, $300 isn't bad deal. Most people aren't tech-savy. They are intimidated by code, etc. If I were a small business owner, who is already short on time, do I fuck around and try to build my site, or pay someone to do it?

In all seriousness, Mike chose to do a BBing show.  Anyone who chooses to stand onstage in trunks - then post those pics online - is obviously seeking opinions, praise, and critiques.  You can't get one without the other.  (Good without the bad).

If Cheri was going to get upset about any critiques, then she should be equally annoyed at the good praise that he has received the last 10 weeks.   Otherwise, a serious double standard would be in place ("You can only tell me good things!") and I couldn't see that happening.  Anyone who does "what it takes" to do a BBing show needs to have thick enough skin to not blow up whenever anyone gives them an honest assessment.

And sites also contain forums, lots of graphic design, video clips, info submit forms, flash intros and siders, search engine optimization, ecomm stores, pic galleries, and for many of my sites, the client asks me to do the bulk of the content writeup.  I build it like I would build my own, then they come in and change things.  If someone has never built a site before, it is a HUGE help having their content done for them, then they can keep what then like, and lose what they don't.   Frontpage can deliver a website, definitely.  But with an experienced person, you also get a lot of intangible things that frontpage can't include.

I just think it is funny that some of you people think it is so hard to eat less food everyday for a few months and maybe throw some cardio in.

You act like dieting down is such an incredible feat.  It really isn`t.  Anyone can do it.  It is the easiest thing in the world and it sure is the easiest aspect of bodybuilding if one does it day in and out.





If it's so damn easy, why haven't you been onstage, other than you having nothing to bring to the stage in the first place.

I don't understand why you guys are jumping all over Mike. Adonis I see why you got upset with Cheri and that is between you two. But what has Mike done to you for the baseless attacks? He never attacked you're pics when you posted them.

When did he say he was better than any natural. When was he anything less than grateful and positive?

Not a flame a serious question.

I totally agree that Mike put his pics up there for criticism good or bad. It is only fair that he gets some negative with the positive. But some of you guys are just making dickhead comments to make them.

240, I think part of the reason people are defensive when you post even positive things is that we have all seen too much instigation and quite a few backhanded compliments from you in the past.

As for Adonis and some of the other people on this board, the reason they are being ignored is because arguing with them is like asking a bear to shit in a toilet. They have room temperature IQ's, but, believe otherwise. It gives me a headache to read Adam's posts on here. He isn't educated in science beyond a starter's chemistry set, but thinks he knows everything about everything there is to know. Ignoring him and the other people like him on here is the only thing a normal person can do to stay sane.

You come across as a smart guy, just maybe a little too arrogant for someone who has never stepped on a bodybuilding stage and made bullshit claims about weightlifting. You asked why people respond so emotionally to you and I think the reason is that you don't appear to be trustworthy when it comes to other peoples' lives. You go far and beyond "keeping things on GetBig" and have done your fair share of trying to ruin the lives of several people on here. You aren't innocent. If you are anything like this in person, I wouldn't want to be around you. You seem to want to throw people under a bus to get ahead.

Nothing personal, I do think you have your moments where you are funny, but, you don't seem to be genuine on here. Always seem to be looking for a chance to tear people down.

You can't lose weight without a calorie deficit. 

If you're claiming you can, you have somehow managed to get around the laws of thermodynamics, and I imagine you'll be on your way to Stockholm pick up your Nobel Prize shortly.  ::)

Trying to simplify metabolism in preparation for a bodybuilding show is not just a simple caloric deficit question.

Adam, all flaming aside, yes you do have to take in a certain amount of calories to drop in weight, but that is not how it is done for contest preparation.  Look at these photos of Michael. 

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/blflammia/BeforeandAfter.jpg)

He achieved his fat loss (the point in contest prep) by eating more.  He consumed as many as 4,000 calories on some days and as low as 1,400 on others while eating "every" three hours and consuming a large amount of food.  Maybe you should ask other bodybuilders that have done contest prep what their contest diet consisted of.

He would have never gotten below 15 percent bodyfat by eating 4000 calories a day....It was the 1400 calorie days that did it and that is LESS than he was eating when he started.  You have to create a defecit.

Metabolism does not always change as one might think just eating less. Your body responds to starvation by slowing metabolism down in some cases. Please people stop trying to simplify something that is more complicated than just numbers.

True.

Please explain how that changes the fact that in order to lose weight, you must run an overall calorie deficit?

What I am getting annoyed with here, is that people seem to be assuming that all foods are processed the same in the digestive system. If they are not then I apoligize, however my point is that calories, are not all equal and if a certain body type is desired, you can't just cut calories. It is a fine science. If it was easy we would not have so many obese people. I can't imagine it is fun to be fat.

Your body burns calories to burn protein, and responds very differently to simple sugars. People seem to be thinking it is just a simple thing and it is not. Your body WILL respond differently to 400 grams of protein than to 400 grams of sugar.

The metabolic processing of each food type that one is taking in must be accounted for. Your endocrinology is not something that you can just assume will respond to what you think it will respond to. It is complicated and big changes in diet can mess it up in unpredictable ways.

If this is inadequate, I will try to be more clear, but I hope it helps convey what I am trying to say here.

Cheers.

having said that you looked great, I have to give you my toughts of you dieting process.

You were lean but I was shocked when I read that you were 198.5 lbs.

IMO, you lost a lot of muscle in the arms and lats departement. Hopefully, you will take it all back when you will eat normally.

Your body burns calories to burn protein, and responds very differently to simple sugars. People seem to be thinking it is just a simple thing and it is not. Your body WILL respond differently to 400 grams of protein than to 400 grams of sugar.

The metabolic processing of each food type that one is taking in must be accounted for. Your endocrinology is not something that you can just assume will respond to what you think it will respond to. It is complicated and big changes in diet can mess it up in unpredictable ways.

If this is inadequate, I will try to be more clear, but I hope it helps convey what I am trying to say here.

Cheers.

No shit.

MIKE !

having said that you looked great, I have to give you my toughts of you dieting process.

You were lean but I was shocked when I read that you were 198.5 lbs.

IMO, you lost a lot of muscle in the arms and lats departement. Hopefully, you will take it all back when you will eat normally.

LLES: What do you suggest to take care of that problem ?
I don't think too much muscle was lost...

One more thing, I forgot to put in there and I should have. 100 grams of protein is worth the same "calorically" as 100 grams of carbohydrates. How the body processes them is not the same however. Cutting calories is important, but so is endocrinology.

I think what Cheri is trying to say is that you have to continually shock your body in dieting. The caloric up and downs will shock the body and metabolism. Many pro's institute this method at different levels. So in essence, she isn't necessarily wrong.

Moreover, I don't see why people can't just stop beating a dead horse sometimes. Mike did a great job and kept us all interested in his weekly progress from start to finish on his diet. He did place 3rd and his transformation was outstanding! He deserves to be commended and his critics fail to realize he is not a professional so there is no reason why he should be subjected to such. He has my respect.  :)

As for Cheri's semi-nudes, there is nothing wrong with them and I encourage her to post more  :D

P.S. Her pics are better than any True Adonis pics!

Would you believe less?  In all utmost honesty he took in less food.  He ate egg whites in the morning mixed with a little oatmeal, then drank a protein shake (and before all jump on it..protein mixed in gatorade) at lunch, had a supper that contained white rice (yup another booboo) and flank steak (a serving size that wouldn't satisify a child, truth) and then another shake later on.  Believe it or not, it is what he took in.  I have no reason to lie.  It was a pathetic diet.  He almost died when Larry told him to increase his food meals to every three hours and drop the shakes.   He really had a hard time adjusting to such in the begining because he wan't accustomed to eating as much as often.  It got to the point that just the thought of taking in another ground turkey meal made him ill. 

I don't expect you to believe or follow what I'm saying Jesebelle, but it's true.  I am very proud at what Michael has accomplished and very thankful to Larry (aka LLES) for all his help.  I had never realized how big Michael was until a couple weeks ago when we started comparing pictures.  I always thought he looked good, but after following Larry's advice and diet (which was constantly going up and down with carb intake totals) and cardio input Michael dropped 70lbs of fat and looks great!

Mike said that he was drinking a gallon of gatorade a day back then, so add 800 calories of pure sugar.  Dropping that alone should make a huge difference.

The calorie deficit is the main thing for weight loss. Everything else is secondary. This is really my last post on this subject, cause debating such a basic point like this is like embarrassing :-\


Huh? Yeah Adonis, and goatboy are right on this one, CQ too.
You do eat less calories overall when dieting, less than your body needs, or the amount it needs and then you add cardio. Bodybuilders today as well as in the 50's did this, everyone pretty much stayed within 1500 cals 2 weeks leading into a contest Danny Padilla would eat 90 grams of protein and like 10 grams of fat the last 2 weeks.

Stavios, I too believe muscle loss was minimal. Those pixs you see were taking while Mike was still carbing up. Cutting his water from almost 3gallons a day to 1/2 on Fri & nothing until after pre-judging really sucked him in.

Seriously, you knock on what Mike did, like its SO EASY..Well, 100% anyone that has done it will tell you ITS NOT EASY.

1500-2000 caloires versus a normal intake for gaining.

No wonder why Mike got 3rd and first if you think you don`t eat less when dieting.  The object is to create a calorie defecit. hahahahahahah  Monster misunderstanding of how to diet.

Hardly a starvation diet.  This is what most competitors do.  2000 calories or so. Lets take a 200 lb man,  give him 250 grams of protein. 150 grams of carbs and 45 grams of fat.  What is so starvation about that?

You are being rediculous.  Go look at most peoples contest prep.

I agree.  But I don't think I have been cruel at all.  Cheri and I have battled, but me and Mike are cool and I very rarely mess with him- I only worried about the health side- about the strain of a first Bbing show at 40+ and losing 1/4 of one's body mass in 3-4 months is huge.  Billy Carp dying was a horrible thing, and I would hate to see that happen again.

Sure, some have been cruel, and some are outright insulting them right now. But I'm not. I just asked about the placement.  And she's focusing on me for some reason. 

Haven't had time to read thruough this whole thread.  Based on what I have seen so far...

1. Congrats Mike!
2. Cheri, mellow out ;)
3. Rob, WTF does Billy's death have anything to do with this ???  It had nothing to do with "gear" ::)

First off I have maybe 30 websites.  Mostly for friends or friends of theirs.  But all from referals.  I only use Frontpage.  What is wrong with it.  If someone needs something done in Flash or something I can't do i just tell them I can't do it and find someone else.  I do these for fun, not a job.  I do them at night since I am up till 2am or 3am.  I spend maybe 5 hours a day thats it.  I charge anywhere from $300 to $600 a site.  Unlimited pictures and some okay stuff.  Nothing to fancy. 

I did a site called irwinshiff.com which won politcial site of the year in 2000.  The site has changed its name often cause the Feds keep closing it down.  This guy teaches you how NOT to pay taxes legally.  There is no law written anywhere where it says you have to personal income tax.  In fact I think he offers like $100,000 cash to anyone who can show him where it says you are required to pay personal income tax.  He also shows you how to fill out a legal zero income tax form. He is also the #1 seller of the IRS Tax Book.  He highlights all kinds of things in the book and sells it to show how you don't have to pay income tax.  He is the IRS's worst nightmare.  He goes to court for people at $500 an hour to be an expert witness in tax cases.  The last I heard his site was paynomoretaxes.com  Interwsting guy.

Serious question Mike,

Why do you claim yourself as being a natural when you have Admitted in the past to steroid use.  You also used T3 and Clenbuterol to get lean.  You have ZERO right to call yourself natural.  I liked you up until the point you decided to call yourself natural.

Why do you claim yourself as being a natural when you have Admitted in the past to steroid use.  You also used T3 and Clenbuterol to get lean.  You have ZERO right to call yourself natural.  I liked you up until the point you decided to call yourself natural.

Oh you mean this girl?  No wait, she has no tits, and ya maybe the face is melted (would explain the receding hairline) and ya, she's thin but got no muscle just a fat ass, but I am sure she doesn't cook for anyone.  I am guessing she doesn't know her way around the kitchen, just the street corners.  ;)

well that means only 2 other people were brave enough to step onstage

congrats to Mike like they say the few the proud...what is that the marines??

Well you have a shaved head Mike so you are like one of them, the few, yes because there were only two other dudes

AND

the proud because you came in 3RD PLACE that's pretty good...a lot of people will never knwo the glory of bronze


The bronze age comes before the ironage.,..but one day you will make it to the iron age.  As a matter of fact if you juiced you could probably get to the same lean contest weight as 5'10" Mr Olympia FRANK ZANE who competed around 190.  Sure you have a much wider waist and are way taller, but come on he was Mr. Olympia.

Personally, I see no motivation for Cheri to lie about Mike's placing, as TA asserted.  Why would she care what anyone thought, if indeed Mike did come in last?  It's just a message board, and anyone who would lie to strangers about something so easily checkible... well... I'm sure they have bigger things to worry about in life than what strangers on message boards think of them.

Besides, with as many times as Cheri has called other people liars, I couldn't imagine her putting herself in such a position by lying about this.  I don't care what the pics say- I'm SURE she didn't lie.

Congratulations Mike! I remember just a little while back when you were just playing around with the idea of getting in shape and competiting, you had no fixed date, had'nt decided on a show or anything... and here we are, a few months later and all this accomplished.

I wonder what the half a dozen people that criticize have done in the same time period, oh yeah, they've got a few thousand more posts on a bulletin board... I bet that's something they will look back at with pride as they grow older  ::)

And I would like to keep my wife out of it, Beef.  Some ppl here don't know how to separate real life from message boards, and people have called my house before, pranking with some cruel stuff.  I know there are crazies in the world, and since my wife has no involvement here, I would like to keep her out of the conversation.

I very much doubt anybody thinks I'm being backhanded.  I'm simply responding to your (incorrect) assertion that Arvilla is a natural.

It would only be backhanded if I had an opinion that Arvilla was in poor shape for someone who has used or uses juice.

An opinion that I don't have nor care about.

But I understand, you must be a gimmick because nobody could seriously be this stupid.  What would it take you to believe that Arvilla has juiced?  I mean Cheri has outright said you're talking shit, what more do you want?  ::)

Cut him a little slack. It's his first show.  Posing takes ALOT of practice to get it right.

I think Mike's posing has gotten better over the past couple of months.  It's not great but he has improved.

If he does another show he'll get better.  It just takes practice from the right person that knows what the judges are looking for.

Mike, enjoy that you had the balls to step up, compete and also look good.  Some of these guys here will rip anyone that doesn't look like a pro.  Just look at your before and after pics, that will put a smile on your face.  As you are eating and fill back out you have the opportunity to give your body a new setpoint.  The couple months after a show, it does seem like you can grow easier.  Happened to me, I've never been this heavy and thats even having dealt with an injury.

Enjoy eating bro and you get mad props for the transformation you've made.  For every 1 negative post here, you've gotten 10 good ones.  Remember that!

How much weight did Mike loose the last couple of days, LLES?

Freak ???






I'd say he lost prob. 10-12lbs. Like i said cutting the water was the key.Fri ,I went up & put 2 coats of protan on him & didn't see him until weigh in &the way he tightened up so much in that short amount of time was pretty damn amazing.He weighed in at 198.5 but by the time he walked on-stage ,he was around the 205 mark.

Mike,
Being over 40 myself, I KNOW how hard it is just to stay in shape. You went beyond that and got into a condition that 85% of the people on here will NEVER see themselves. You set a goal and reached it. Most here don't even know HOW TO SET A GOAL. For some their goal is just to rip others because that's WHAT THEY DO BEST.
You reached 1 goal. Now set another, make sure it's attainble and realistic and go for it! That's the great thing about life, there is ALWAYS something else to look forward to. Many forget that we are lucky here in the US compared to other countries for the oppurtunities that we have about us and that are wasted because of laziness and taking the country for granted. Not to mention most of us aren't missing legs, or hands, or arms for that matter yet don't use our potential to better ourselves one way or the other.
If you had a client reach a goal you help them set another. Do the same for yourself. Congrats again.

hahah you idiots. OF COURSE YOU EAT LESS when dieting for a contest.

1500-2000 caloires versus a normal intake for gaining.

No wonder why Mike got 3rd and first if you think you don`t eat less when dieting.  The object is to create a calorie defecit. hahahahahahah  Monster misunderstanding of how to diet.

I actually ate more...a lot more when "dieting" for a show.  For me it was about speeding up my metabolism...

You can't lose weight without a calorie deficit. 

If you're claiming you can, you have somehow managed to get around the laws of thermodynamics, and I imagine you'll be on your way to Stockholm pick up your Nobel Prize shortly.  ::)

cutting back calories is not the ony way to create a calorie deficit...

Not a million, but there were certainly enough of them.  I don't have any pictures of the winner, but she looked great as well...but IMO Mrs. LLES looked far better and should have definitely taken 1st.  I am sure Larry has a shot or two of the winner. 

Regardless, she looked absolutely lovely and was beautifully poised.

In all seriousness though, great transformation for just a few months.  I would say you need to put on another 30lbs to fill out your frame and actually look competitve.  While you did a great job of dieting down (your waist is tiny!), you looked waaay too skinny.  Look at the pick below.  You are straight up and down, like a broomstick.  No taper.  Also, what's with the posing trunks!?  Either they are falling off, or you picked out the wrong cut.

Anyway, nicely done.

Actually it's kinda pathetic on your behalf.  You lie once again stating you don't have the pictures when everyone here knows you are a horder of pictures and quotes, so don't try and play everyone off as a fool 240.  I did not destroy myself by posting those pictures, I stood my ground and you cried "truce, truce" (because you had nothing0 to everyone in every thread known on this board that had my name in it.  Such a whiney cry-baby, you are as noted in this thread as well:
Hell, I can remember a recent contest where only ONE person competed in some local show.  They let the guy take over the Pictures board, even made his woman a moderator so unpleasant observations could be removed.  Plus, he started threads on the G&O board every other day!

If we can make an exception for one competitor like that, I think one temporary board reserved for a group of competitrs would be fair.

Post by: CQ on June 12, 2006, 01:43:00 PM
Not to agree w/Salmon of all people, but I do have to agree about the cut of Mike's trunks.

I think a higher v-cut front would have accentuated his waistline more, made his lats/shoulders and quads appear larger.....generally been more flattering to the overall physique. The side straps should sit high on the waistline following the line of the body, which serves to make the waist appear even tighter and compliment the x-frame look. Conditioning was definitely a strong point for Mike, and well fitting trunks would have highlighted that more.

Try CJ (http://www.cynthia-james.com/malebodybuilding.htm) for suits. She does very good men's [and womens for that matter] suits. You email her a pic, and she'll give you her feedback on what cut would be best for your physique.

I think that's what happens when you come off all the stimulants.  No sure though.  I've had bouts of depression after my shows.  Actually, I think it was from being SOOO overtrained.  I mean I would literally beat myself up getting ready for show's.  Then after it was all done I didn't want to see a stepper or anything that resembled healthy food for about 2 weeks.

Let's just say I think I know what Mike is going through.  My best advice is to take a little time off, but not too much time.

just very anticlimatic is all

i miss the focus
the goal
larry yelling at me  ..lol!
the very structured life ............
ya know............working towards a goal
hard to explain................. ......

Not hard to explain at all, it is what those of us who aren't preparing for a contest feel alot. I am sure it is temporary, and only natural after what you have been thru. You did an amazing job, and did yourself proud, take some time to sulk, relax, reflect, and then get re-focused!! Maybe not for another show, but for something else to get your juices flowing. Thanks for taking us on your journey. Think about all the people you have impacted doing this, the good, bad, negative, positive, it is still very impressive, I hope it encourages you to continue to do so in some way.

Actually this isn't hard to understand......anytime a person intensely devotes time to an endeavor and have it abruptly end can be difficult to cope with.   Folks that leave the military, folks that get outta jail, folks that end a relationship, folks that start a new job, etc......you develop a pattern and a sudden deviation from that pattern can be hard to deal with.......it's not far-fetched at all.   I had trained my ass off for years with excellent progress........I lived and breathed it....blew out the low back and my world stopped.....now I knew I could recover in time, but suddenly my world had changed and I was suddenly "normal" again......was hard to get my head around again.

Not to worry bro, that is actually pretty normal.  You have been working tword this goal for a long time, and it is suddenly over.  Happens all the time. 

Get over it, you have been starving your body for months, now is the absolute best time to grow.  Your gonna get huge :D

Would you believe they told the competitors that if anyone hiked their trunks up their butts to show their glutes...they would be disqualified?

Good.

They should do that at all shows IMO.

Mike - the anticlimatic feeling is normal. I am like that after every show.

I think he was over dieted for the show.  He had to in order to go from 270 to 198.  Next time around he will not have to diet so hard.  He also looked a bit flat.  And, he is going to experience a serious post show rebound...if he does it right.  Put all that together and he can come in a good 15 pounds heavier...fuller...dryer ...leaner.

this day an age, you have to look at the glutes...although not as relavent at a state show...But the guys that come in at the state level and have striated glutes(love it or hate it) really do show better then the opposite...I couldn't really tell with Mike for his shorts were pretty covering...(probably on propurse)so the guys here wouldn't rip into him but the hams/glutes esp. in us older guys is a sure sign of who is in shape and who isn't...

Thighs are much more important that glutes.

I'm talking in terms of conditioning...Glutes are the last thing on the body to come in...And at most state level shows, you rarely see guys with striated glutes...And if you do, he is almost always the most conditioned....

Was it heavyweight or light-heavy??  I do know the cut off is 198
He was a Heavyweight (he originally weighed in at 197, but Larry pulled him to the side and had him eat what looked like 10 sweet potatoes [lmao] and that brought him up to 198 1/2 ... a heavyweight).  The photographer got it wrong, but I can understand why.  During the show the expeditor thought Heavyweight was up and moved Michael along with the Lights.  He went out on stage and they, the judges called his number and told him he was not supposed to be on stage as of yet.  It is kinda comical on the video.  lol.

But gotta mention (again) how impressive your improvements are. The shredded look was teh shit, no doubt. Still in awe actually. Credit where credit is due.

Maybe just tell me if my diets good; hence i'm a picky eater and most of my carbs come from oatmeal, slimfast high protein shakes and soup.  and the protein from chicken, beaf, the slimfast again, and the post workout shake with 2 whole eggs. turkey sandwhiches on wheat bread..

looks pretty good

ditch the slim-fast tho...............high in sugars/sodium (total garbage!)

the whey protein is on point-- now this is what it "says" on the slimfast highprotein..

calories 190  Fat Cal45
Saturated fat 2g
Polyunsaturated Fat 1g
Monounsaturated Fat 2g
Cholesterol 10mg
Sodium 220
Potassium600mg
Total Carbohydrate 24g
Dietary Fiber 5g
Sugars 13g
Protein 15g

so is that really a bad mrp, or drink with a turkey sandwhich?

too much sodium (you will hold more water than a hippo)
too much sugar
not enough protein

Post by: Laura Lee on June 29, 2006, 08:43:15 AM
Plus, the nutritional information on the whey isolate is for 1 scoop mixed with 8-16oz of water...therefore you can double the scoops (with 16 oz of water) and get more protein, but still have less sugar, sodium and carbs than the 11oz of pre-mixed SlimFast.    ;)

He was tanning prior to the show, then got spray tanned two days before and then we put on 2 coats of pro-tan the day before and then another 2-3 coats the morning of.

And no, I haven't been running the bleachers STella, come and kick my ass.  The stadium isn't really by me so I don't go.  I run stairs at work and at home.  I have to do something different than bleachers.  Any suggestions?  btw...i luv u   ;D

I may come kick your ass at some point! >:(

The stadium I use isn't really by me either but I drive there.  Is yours really far from you?

OK,  I'll PM you later w/some stuff.

He hasn't done any cardio since prior to the show.  His eating...he doesn't stop.  He is always saying he's hungry, but he hasn't hit any junk food.  Any snacks would include fruit, sugar free jello or sugar free popsicles.

Has he stopped all fat burners or is he still on them?  I would suggest going off.  Just to give his bodies receptors a break.

It's a learning process.

Cheri Lane may ultimately become a great website designer. The mouseover menu isn't teh shit right now, the bars should IMO be readable w/o having to mouse over them. A site should always be extremely easy to figure out.

But, I'm sure the site will get better. I had the sound turned off, but hopefully those terrible buzzing sounds are a thing of the past.

A suggestion: Don't put up pics of a chubby and then cut up Arvilla.

I would guess most of the clients are average Joe's, so get some pics of Arvilla training clients. Get rid of all pics of Arvilla and Cheri Lane in their home, you want to come across as personal, not private.

A few quotes from people being trained by Arvilla is a nice touch, Defendis giving Arvilla credit in some nice quote would be sweet as well.

Be personal, never private.

Don't post pics of Arvilla from his contests either. The posing trunks and the Pro Tan looks hideous to many potential clients. You could perhaps post some model type of pics, where Arvilla is wearing long boxers or classy surf pants.

Always consider: "What would George 54, overweight Christian and CEO of Exxon think when watching this stuff? Will both he and Rosemary 48, homewife in suburban Florida, feel communicated when reading this?

Arvilla is the instructor with all the knowledge. Not the guy who were coached through diet and training to reach a contest condition.

Get some banner from that PT organisation that Arvilla has a membership with.

Your waist is growing thicker. Not fatter. But thicker. Looks like when those guys hit the slin and GH.

Improvements on legs, not extreme improvements, you don't seem to have the genetics for good legs, but visible improvements, which says a whole lot IMO.



Really getting it done on those legs.

The back also looks improved.

You look to have good potential for arms. May be overtraining them or something? They're just not going anywhere right now. Specifically, the biceps.

DUDE,

Still looking lean and quite dry for this far out.  Upper body looks great. 

2 recommendations for the quads:

1.  Knees to armpits DEEEEP Leg Presses...not that b/s squat press either, I'm talking about an old school sled.  Don't overload it and go rep that shit for days....haha...

2.  Drop set your leg extensions on the last set.  Whatever your work weight is, cut it in half and do an extra set for 20 or higher reps.

Don't take offense to these, I mean well.  I know you're tall and bringing your legs up will be hard but it will help.  Best of luck on your next show.

Pretty crazy, huh?

Mike your still holding good condition.  I'd bump the weight and bodyfat up just a tad to put on some mass.  If you stay to low in bf% it makes it slightly harder to put on muscle weight.

mike if you want your legs to grow...just work and work and work them untill you cant work the anymore.  you cant do too many sets for legs. the more the better.....just make sure they heal up all the way before training them again.

that is what i read in MD at least.   ive never tried it though...as i dont really need to do much for legs to have them grow.

You aren`t going to be able to do anything for abs.  Boyer Coe had the same issue.  Abs are genetic.  You can make them bigger and thicker, but this in turn will make them appear less razor sharp like and will obscure the lines.

Alot of the pros have fucked their abs up by using Growth Hormone and Insulin...Their abs and obliques keep growing obscuring nice clean razor abs.  I have never seen a natural with awful abs really.

Mike,

Can you tell all the fatasses out there in Getbigland the benefits of dieting when it comes to sex?

TOP FIVE BENEFITS OF LOSING WEIGHT LIKE MIKE

1. Gain two inches of cock length that was previously hiding in fatty manpouch above unit.
2. Massive increase in sex drive due to increase in test levels from fat loss.
3. Can see own cock without sucking in belly.
4. Even masturbation is better as it's hard to imagine banging Pam Anderson with a beergut.
5. Wife or girlfriend actually gives it up without negotiating shopping trip in return.

Born and raised as you know Mike... I love Boston The weather can suck but the season change is nice. City has a ton of character. Any cool movies are shot in NY and Boston!

Sturbridge is pretty far from Boston.

There are certainly packs of pathetic twunts all over, but I can't stand idly by and allow you to sully the Squad's good name by lumping us in with that riff-raff.    Now for the good news, an owning will not be handed out as you'll be allowed a single free pass for today......there will be no verbal raping or bloodshed.....consider yourself a very lucky woman.

DL what you offered was not criticism it was insult.  Saying "well for "someone on gear" i placed third in a open heavyweight class so yea i look like shit (the judges must have been blind huh?)" is far from criticism.  If you girlfriend or boyfriend (which ever you have  ;)) said "honey you suck in bed, where did you learn how to fuck?" as critism or an insult?


And what concerns me is everyone comments and lack of education regarding gear.  You all think if someone dabbles in it ... they should look like Ronnie Coleman or something.  Do you have any clue how much gear it takes to look like that?  How much has to be used "daily" to look like that.  Or how much it costs to buy gear to look like that?  If you think someone who dabbles in it or is taking far less in quantity than what the pros take should look like a pro (how many giant 6'2" bodybuilders who don't use mass amounts of gear daily do you know?) ... you my friend are dilusional.

And what concerns me is everyone comments and lack of education regarding gear.  You all think if someone dabbles in it ... they should look like Ronnie Coleman or something.  Do you have any clue how much gear it takes to look like that?  How much has to be used "daily" to look like that.  Or how much it costs to buy gear to look like that?  If you think someone who dabbles in it or is taking far less in quantity than what the pros take should look like a pro (how many giant 6'2" bodybuilders who don't use mass amounts of gear daily do you know?) ... you my friend are dilusional.


so Cheri, are you saying Mike is using steroids? Some times I think eveyone is using except me ???

You're an utter moron  ::)  When did you get your PHd again?  Would you like to review the MRI's taken and the doctor's reports stating that he blew out a lower disc (bulges clean out the side of his spine, due to a quick impact blow). 

tell me didn't EVERYONE rank on him because of his legs?  He cannot squat heavy weight (his back can't take it) and is not supposed to over head press at all. 

These aren't any excuses.  Michael trains his ass off and does so daily.  I'm proud of the fact that he has so much determination, but wish he would listen better to his doctor.   :-\

is that what you call constructive criticism?

No wonder you have a problem taking advice


If I didn't like you....I wouldn't have even bother to open my yap.  There's alot of people on here that I wouldn't take two seconds to even make a comment because i could care two shits (unless I was bored).

I just have received a few pm's asking me if they are seeing the same thing I am.....I checked out your photo's & have to agree...thats all.

& btw.....you would be shocked of the people who actually pm me.  They are afraid to be candid because of retaliation.  I just simple "say it" & hopefully you understand I'm being honest....not hurtful.

You should make a monumental effort to bring up your weaknesses, so that you can show a dramatic improvement for the next show.  I would completly back off training your strong areas and completly demolish your legs/calves...

240 already gave you this same advice a year ago when preparing for your show.

Post by: tom joad on January 17, 2007, 06:59:36 AM

Mike, you possess a frame that will look very massive when ripped. You are lucky.
My thoughts...

Train legs first.  Monday. After you've watched tv and relaxed all day sunday.  Make it your priority. I'd guess from looking at you that you have done upper body work about 3 times more than lower body in your life.   Your legs are years behind.  But your arms will keep their size when you diet, so you're in a good place.

I'd take a month off upper body and hit legs twice a week and that's it.  Your upper body joints will heal (and cutting back the ibuprofin will make your body more responsive to your AAS as a bonus!), Your CNS will recover (you've been training 10+ hours a week with no cardio? ouch! rest up for your contest run!), You'll get the upper body back in 3 weeks with muscle memory. Make Jan 15-Feb 15 LEG MONTH, and you'll be re-energized come february for your precontest run.

As far as diet/cardio- if you don't do something big and drastic in the next 3 months, you're just going to look like a leaner yet smaller version of you at the show.  SHOCK your body.  Start eating a ton of fish.  Get hooked on a new veggie.  for cardio, do something like fast bleacher climbing or fast sprints.  At your age and bodyfat, hours on the treadmill are NOT the answer.  I would advise high intensity.  If you've been training 2 hours a day, your body is already USED to low impact aerobic activity from the long weight sessions. SHOCK IT with some intense cardio. Intervals are good too.

What you're doing takes guts. If you fail, the whole internet community will never let you hear the end of it. but if you succeed, you'll gain clients for your business and be known as a guru here.

Sorry if I have been rude or too abrasive, just sharing what is in my head.  I will be following your journey.  Should be interesting!

I guess i stopped reading when he said that i had done upper body at leasts 3 times more in my life than lower
body.........from day one (i read a lot before i even stepped foot in a gym)
i squatted (got up to a 500 lb squat when i weighed 300 lbs)
wrecked my knees from years of heavy squats and hacks (6 plates per side at one time on the hack squat)

so.................i never was a "beach bodybuilder" i always wanted to be a  bodybuilder from day 1

Yemeni's idea was new because i didn't read 240's post (or if i did i was insulted by it and didn't pay any attention to it)

In other words: You lied in the original Arvilla thread. You claimed a 600 pound squat.

It is ok.

You lied. You made a mistake.

Done is done.

But do not deny it.

No.

Mike lied when he first came to this board, he claimed a 600 pound squat for reps when he only did 500.

Today Mike is a good fellow.

But he lied about his squat in 04.

Debussey suffers from a condition called "sticky brainesis", thus, Debussey remembers.

This question always going unanswered does lead you to believe he is on juice, but to me Mike just doesn't look like someone on steroids, no offense Mike, but it just didn't cross my mind while watching the transformation. Maybe because he lost so much weight instead of bulking up.

The calves and the legs looks better.

I thought you were a lost case, and never would improve those areas. But it looks like you've added mass to the legs (real deep hack or front squats perhaps?) and those are actually calves now, not sticks.

The calve thing is amazing IMO.

The calves and the legs looks better.

I thought you were a lost case, and never would improve those areas. But it looks like you've added mass to the legs (real deep hack or front squats perhaps?) and those are actually calves now, not sticks.

The calve thing is amazing IMO.

Wow im speechless!!

It's def a money thing!!

( i would love to try high-doesages but simply can't afford it)

(there is a skinny guy at my gym taking 2 and 3 grams a week plus 5 iu's- GH, plus IGF-1 and insulin ETC
pisses me off....................i wish i had that kind of money to blow)

Do not do something stupid and fuck up your health.

Get regular checkups at the doc, kidneys, liver, heart, the whole thing. Life is worth more than a stupid inch on your biceps. At least get regular checkups. We allready know you have hypertension, and you have probably had it for a long time.

You are Dyke Lucy Arvilliana. Please be so for more than the next 15 years as well.

Your pal Debussey.

Yes! Most people have no vision. They simply exist = they are wasting their lives. When the going gets tough, people with no vision usually fall together like a deck of cards, and ends up on prozac.

As long as Dyke Mike is careful with his health, Debussey approves of his mission.

Wow....I haven't been here in a while....

Great job on staying relatively lean and adding muscle mass on top of that.  Not an easy task at all.  Good luck in your shows later this summer, Mike.  You'll do much better since your not such a noob up on stage anymore, and you know what to expect.

Remember, PRACTICE YOUR POSING!!!  It will make a huge difference!

ya, but i had stayed so lean for like 5 months after the show and was freakin out that i wasn't putting on size so i kinna went off the diet (ie ice cream, pizza and shit), laura was doing her show so i was focusing on that and honestly didn't think i'd have the cake to do the show either...so up until now i wasn't preparing for it.  should have, but i'll be busting my ass to get in as good of shape as i can for it.

two weeks and flat?  right on your doing your job!  hammer the "pancakes" to carb up and you'll be dialed! My trainer always had me do it the night before and then a smaller portion the day of and damn it worked!  I woke up looking jacked and veins galore!

I know some people might disagree cause they have never put the doritos down for 5 minutes much less dieted but carbing with about 150g's (all from pancakes and tons of syrup  :P) the night before with a couple of egg whites and maybe a 6oz of water did wonders for me.  Last show I was ready to pull out night before cause I looked so flat, woke up after a nice z-bar (couldn't relax) and couldn't believe my eyes!  I'm by no means a "Milos" but hey, if I ever did a show again I would do it the same and maybe even try some more carbs...good luck!!! ;)

Don't forget some ice cold wine a bit before you go out...makes for a good time when you normally dont drink ;D

For the record, the "bbd" dieted down from 250 to 195!!! :o :o :o  Boy those where the good ole' days :'(

Good luck with that.

Arvilla looked much better than what I expected him to after seeing the 3 weeks out pics, he lost a lot of fat in a few weeks., with that being said, he didn't make himself justice.

With the first competition, he showed he can get into great condition.

That's something he should take comfort in.

He's blessed with fast metabolism (and discipline!). Perhaps you are too. Or not. I have no idea.

Good luck with the BB'ing.
