huge shoulders and arms with a thigh waist


I know the thighs are connected to a waist, and the waist can be tight or huge like a GH Gut.
But thighs connected to a thigh waist? I'm going to have to get out my anatomy book for this one..... :-\

Steve Kuclo and Justin both have very similar physiques.  I think Steve's waist is probably two inches smaller and his upper body muscularity is slightly smaller too.  Otherwise they are both pretty close.

Agreed.  In the picture above he looks like he could have a respectable showing at just about any pro show so I see no reason why he wouldn't win it all.  He is extremely intelligent but seems to enjoy pro bodybuilding and knows a lot about the medical side of it so is probably a lot more conscious of his health than other pro bodybuilders.  I'm sure he would be smart enough to know not to push matters.

Yes you are exactly right about this. He is a family man first. He has a wife and a couple little ones. He just happens to love bodybuilding. He knows what he's doing.

You are right his back looks great....Is a matter of fact his whole upper body looks great!  The only thing he needs to work on are his legs...His hams could stand to be larger!  Keep up the good work Justin!

Justin presses some pretty decent numbers right? Damn, he should switch to heavy dumbells. His shoulders are pressing all the weight and it shows. Where are the pecs????
Otherwise no denying he'll do some damage just depends who esle shows up similar to this.....

justins a good guy, I've spoken with him via pm about my pectorial problems, not to speak for him but I think he's got the same problems as I do in that his shoulders just tend to take over when he's working pecs, if I remember right he's been doing a few things to remedy the situation.  I live about 15 minutes away from where him and steve train and I'd love to weasel in on a workout with them but I have the feeling I'd get my ass kicked so bad I might never recover....... :-X

Remember SF, that Shifted Shapes is the moron that posted about 200+ times about the Flex Wheeler/Billy Smith story at Venice, where Flex was the only person to read 0% on the body fat calipers.
So, nobody can impress him unless it's Flex Wheeler... at 0% body fat. ::)

the funniest thing about him is that he has literally no muscle, no cuts, no vascularity, no nothing, he posted a video awhile back of him in his kitchen doing some weird hand signals thing in a tank top and he is literally 145 pounds at around 5'7" and as light as he is you would think he'd at least be ripped but he has not one single cut, hahahaha.

I agree with the comment about his hamstrings lacking, he has huge quads though.. I was trying to figure out what looked odd when he did his back shots, and its his lack of hamstring development..  Overall he has a great back, shoulders, ok arms, great quads, good calves..  And i know he works hard in the gym.

Post by: Matt C on June 15, 2007, 01:06:45 PM
Interesting comparison to Dennis Wolf.  I think he is just a shade smaller and his waist is just a shade bigger than Wolf's.  I'm thinking all of his measurements are within two inches of Wolf's.  His arms in particular share a similar look to Wolf's.  They are also both around the same height.  Justin = 5'10.6, Dennis = 5'11.3
Title: Re: JUSTIN HARRIS'S PREP FOR THE USA !!!
Post by: sgt. d on June 15, 2007, 06:37:58 PM
Needs to lay off the quad work and focus more on hams and calves. Sorry he is not complete. I think he will get second in his weight class. Decent physique for sure. Good luck

He looks pretty darn awesome to me!  The comments on his hamstrings are silly in my opinion.  There is a difference between size and definition.  He looks to be holding a fair amount of water and some fat in that area.  They don't look small to me.

Thanks a lot for all the comments everyone.  I didn't see this thread before, but I really appreciate Stavios putting it up. 

I do take all comments to heart, I know what I want to improve, and I listen to what others have to say.  So, all comments...positive and negative...are welcome.  I'm sure I don't have to worry about people holding things back here. lol

Blockhead took me and some friends to an X-sport in Chicago, and we had a blast.  A great gym....Block even walked up to me with a fat block of chalk...and gave me the "nod" that it was okay.  You don't see that too often. 

Thanks again!

Uh, sarge, you're completely missing his point. Deadlifts, done right, probably stress the hamstrings more than any exercise by a huge factor. That you didn't pick up/know on this earned you a spanking.

Hey Troponin, what gym do you train at? I live in Clarkston, I think I am close to you. Just curious.

I would say jerome fergusson  has got to be the favorites to win the supers, but...

If the judges read the last interview he gave, and then saw the segment on BBing.com where Jerome was featured with Charles Glass, they'll probably place him near the middle of the pack.
In the segment with Glass, Jerome was high as a kite on something!!! He was talking out of his head, resting on the ground or benches after a warm-up set. Something was certainly up with his mind that day.
But I can't see physique-wise, why he shouldn't be a front runner. :)

I'm in Clinton Township.  I train at the 16 and Gratiot powerhouse. 
I work in Royal Oak, at Beaumont.  So, we're pretty close. 

You going to Jobby Nooner? lol

Is 16 and Gratiot the Dabish bros. Powerhouse?(I used to read a lot about them in the 90's) I am not sure what Jobby Nooner is, must be a local joke that is flying over my head.

Ok, I googled it.

Jobbie Nooner is an annual party on a small island on northern Lake St. Clair.

Sounds like fun, plus there were many pics of women in bikinis :) I used to go to Bud fest every summer, but haven't been in a while. Perhaps I will check out the Nooner this year. Good luck at the Nationals!

Yeah, I've never actually been to a 'nooner,' but everyone is always talking about it around here.  Maybe it is just a Clinton Township thing.

The gym is owned by Mike Bloomquist now.  Was a Dabish gym at one point.  Mike's owned it for a while now.  Great gym if you ever get the chance to train there.  There's probably a dozen or more national level bbers that train there, and another dozen or more competitors.  Everyone is great, no one is a total jack off, and everyone gets along.  Even the old timers hitting the bikes and the sauna in the morning train hard. 
A great atmosphere.

Sounds like a cool gym. I train at Worlds in Waterford(very average gym, but my buddy owns it) but have been going to The Great Lakes Athletic center in Auburn Hills lately to train with a buddy. It's the furthest thing from hardcore, but they have everything you could ever want; basketballcourt, outside pool, tennis courts etc. and the girls are hot as fuck :o might have to join for good. Anyway, sorry to hijack your thread, good luck again!

I actually just got off the phone with someone who said she was going to the "nooner" at six in the morning tomorrow, she said its fun, but too crowded and a little hillybillyish. I can't believe I have never heard of it, she said it was a pretty big deal. I told her to look for a REALLY big dude and tell him "Danny" said hi ;D

hey troop, did you ever hear of Hany dabbish?  He's a cousin of the dabbish bros, he bought a gym on 13 and little mack, scammed a bunch of people and closed it down-he didn't get me, it's actually a funny story but I MADE money with my membership at that gym....anyway I was talking to a buddy of mine and he had done it a couple of time before.

looks very nice, except for this lack of hamstrings. Im just being nitpicky. Lets see what type of condition he can get into! Hopefully its that grainy white guy look that branch warren can get. He'll be freaky awesome.

He needs a lot more calf/soleus width due to his upper body mass. What is his present wt and ht?
He looks damn good overall however, could do damage if he nails the conditioning.

Other then that.. very good.

Yeah, I hate biceps.  I'd never train them if I didn't have to.  They're not a weak bodypart for me, so I'm lucky in that respect. 

What do you think could be improved on the flyes?

I'll see what he writes, get all pissed off, and type in CAPS about how much more 'awesome' than him I am, and threaten to fight him. lol

Seriously though, the worst that can happen is he tells me something that I think won't do anything, and I don't do it. 

I've read just about everything you can read on the human body...I went to school for exercise physiology, had biomechanics, years of chemistry, bio-chem, microbiology, read every nutrition book I can find...and I still learn things all the time.

Justine, you're probably 6 times bigger than me too, but I couldn't help to notice in your video that your "lying hamstring curls" have a very abbreviated range of motion - full extension to only about 45 degrees...Also is there a reason why you prefer dumbells vs. conventional hamstring training machines, SLDL, etc..?

The range of motion is as far as I can curl up.  I don't know if it is from added size, or just lack of flexibility, but that is as far as I can flex my knee joint using my hamstrings.  I can't get much further than that angle, even with added pressure pushing my leg to bend.

Try the dumbell leg curls....VERY hard. 
I don't prefer them over conventional movements, dumbell leg curls are just another exercise to add to the hamstring mix.

Hey Justin,

I think you are super!

Big as a house! Can I ask you what is your should width/circumference? Can you fit through a normal door?

What I meant by my comments is that you are not going as fierce on those exercises as on all others.

Tell Kulko to train for real cause it looks like he is just there too show off to everyone how slow he can do those exercises. Oh and tell him to prepare cause I will pass him hahahahahaha

Peace,
Alex

With enough drugs, you eventually get bigger, yes.  Sorry, none of these guys impress me, regardless of the physique.  It's and endless series of cycle after cycle, nothing more.  Post what is require that actually got you to where you are, I'm sure people would look at things differently.
Roids are like pizza, enough of either for a long period of time, you will get bigger.
Hope this helps.

Tell that to Titty Bunz.

Seriously though, the thing about Justin (and Steve) is this infectious work ethic, dedication, and love of training. I have watched many clips from pros' training videos online, but none of them ever inspired to buy the DVD. However, Justin's and Steve's training DVD has spent more time in my DVD player than in its case in the time I've had it.

With them, it's not about drugs, or showing off, or being badass, or being bigger than the other boys in the weightroom, or lifting heavy weights... It's about science, proper training and nutrition, dedication, and working your ass off. Now that's infectious, and they just make you want to train harder and eat smarter, even if you're a 160 pound dweeb!

I'm all for that, but you never see these guys implement that same work ethic without the use of drugs.  All these "hardcore" types, usually are only "hardcore" with drugs behind them.  That's the point.

Have you been following Justin around? Snooping in his trash, perhaps? Found lots of Wendy's bags or twinkie wrappers?

How do you know what his work ethic is like at any given point? Or are you generalizing?
