What do your waist, chest and arms measure in this shape?
In this shape.... Chest is 50", waist is 38", arms are right under 19"
I'm 236 now and I've been "bulking" for sometime... I last competed in 08
AT 157 LBS (159 after carb up)!!!!! (My normal contest weight is 175-180) and didn't balloon up for sometime but I eventually got up to 225, but in 2010 I dieted down to about 215 (which most people say is my most ideal look) and now back up again to 236.
Keep in mind... this isn't the heaviest I've been.. in 2005 I intentionally "bulked" up to 265.... then in 2006 I stopped training for a while and shrunk down to 250 but was really really fucking fat looking just looked like I didn't even touch a weight.
I know I ate roughly 4000 calories these past few months/years because I keep a basic spread sheet of what I eat. But I mean I would go out every now and then, binge and not write it down. But that wasn't all the time.
I've really been ALL over the chart when it comes to my weight.... I don't even think Lee Priest has fluctuated as much as I have!!! Let me give you guys a demonstration if I may.... (forgive the attention whoring) but take a look at these pictures of how my weight has changed over the years!
First of all this is what I look like CURRENTLY at 236 lbs:
Now lets go down this journey in Chronological order:
Here I am at my last contest in 2008 at 159 lbs!!!!!! This is the most shredded I have ever been - look at the tricep striations!!!!!
2 days before I was 157 lbs, and here is a picture of it:
4 weeks before that show in 2008 I was 170 lbs as you can see here:
6 weeks before, not sure what the weight was here this is what I looked like (I just thought that this was a bad ass picture albeit not very clear)
My best off-season look was in 2007 when I really worked hard to keep my weight down, and here is a picture where I was about 185-190 (Note: I had binged on McDonalds earlier that day before I took the picture!)
In the summer of 2006 I had stopped training for sometime, and here I am on my honeymoon at 255 lbs looking my very worst:
One year before then in 2005 I was 265 lbs and was at my strongest (Squatting 465 for 4 reps, Deadlifting 500 for 1 rep, and bench 350 lbs for 1 rep - yes I know you getbiggers are stronger than me, but I was happy for myself), here are two pictures from those days:
After I competed in 2004 I bulked up all summer and fall, here is me at 234 lbs:
Now rewind to 2004... This is me in Vegas where I competed at 178 lbs:
2 weeks before that in 2004, this is me in my best contest shape at 176 lbs!
Rewind some, and this is what I looked like at my first contest in 2003 when I competed at 172 lbs:
