Conditioning was easily the most egregious.  It was 8 weeks / 20lbs off.

You could hide the pec if you put any thought into posing preparation, you cannot hide buttered roll condition when facing real compeittion.

Do you have a clue how hard it is to train with very little rest?

One day last week a guy says to me ........"All done already huh Tim.....I`ve been here for 2 hours"...............my reply was....."I just did 27 total sets in 36 minutes"......he says..."well at least you showed up".

So I gave him my standard speech for know nothing idiots, about "intensity of effort" which is what I call it..... thanks to my stealing it from Vince Gironda.

"I says to the slob......if you and I weighed the same,had the same exact strength level,did the exact same workout, using the exact same weight, for the exact same number of reps, but it took you 2 hours to finish,but I did it in 45 minutes,which one of trained harder " ?.....he says...."Well we did the exact same thing"....I said "No I trained far harder than you did because I did it in 45 minutes as opposed to you taking 2 hours to finish"

He stared stupidly as I walked away with a vascular pump.

Solid advice.

Unfortunately a perfect example of casting pearls before swine

Dallas McCarver was saying the same stuff when people talked about is gut and health. During a video interview he said something like "I'm a professional, I know what I'm doing."
