the new cuts in your quads will make them look two inches bigger than if you actually put an inch on them with no cuts. you must be suffering with the diet bro! if i wasn't such a 'hazbin' i might actually be motivated to train again,lol

And it shows, bro. Looking better than I've ever seen you before, with major improvements in your legs. Laura looks great as always.
Not sure if you've tried 20 rep breathing squats, but they do make a difference to your leg size, thickness and muscularity. Give them a go after the contest so you improve even more for the next one. Just get into it gradually because they are absolutely brutal.
Good luck for the contest.

You're welcome.
Here's a link that tells you about the breathing squats routine. I figured you'd improve more by working on new techniques and exercises rather than by making changes in your "stack", cause you've been at it for a while.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/irontamer5.htm
Don't jump in with your max weight all at once (not that you'll be able to). Start with maybe 60% or a little higher of a weight that makes you fail around 10 reps on the squat. The goal is to keep adding at least 10 or 15 lb every workout (among the other things listed in that link).
And if possible, I'd put it off until after the contest, cause it's not high volume. Last few weeks before a contest isn't the best time to do low volume or start a new routine. But your body bouncing back post contest coupled with the breathing squat routine should definitely improve your legs a lot more.

Breathing squats are torture they make a the florida inmates do 3 sets before bed ;D

Mike, I just skimmed rhrough that article and there are a couple of things worth mentioning:
1) Forget about the powerlifting stance it recommends and just use the stance you normally use that is most comfortable to you. Do it in a power rack and not using a Smith machine or anything else.
2) At least for the first 6 - 8 reps, take 3 deep breaths at the top of the movement, minimum. You need to try and fill your lungs completely. After 10 reps or so, you'll find yourself taking more than 3 breaths at the top. But always focus on them being deep breaths that fill your lungs.
3) Don't do it for more than 6 weeks like the article recommends. Take a break after that time by going back to your normal routine and maybe do another cycle a couple of months or so afterwards.

Looking good Mike and Laura, keep it up

Team Arvilla!

Mike, you look really good, congratulations.One thing is when your going through your mandatory poses, make your transition from one pose to the next smooth.Also throw in "cheater" poses.Like before going into a full pose, flex the muscle then lock down the pose.Always make your routine and posing look smooth and effortless.I always tell people try to pose at least 15-30 minutes a day,for practice, and to bring out muscle detail.If you pose for 30 minutes its like running 5 miles.
Good job Mike, if you have any questions about anything or need any advice you can im me anytime.Laura looks very very good as well.....Good luck and god bless both of you in your show, and in your life together

There are times I miss it Bast, but it couldn't be saved after my radiation and the 10 months of prednisone. It was falling out, breaking off and fusing together when I washed it. :( I had extensions put in to keep me from mentally losing it and when they were taken out (4 months later) I just said cut it all off. It's growing back now and healthy again. Most think it's a good look for me. :D
-
me :D
What's that thing on the back of your neck? When did you get it? Also, you look like you're running test and might be older . . . does it make things better in the sack for you? I used to date a 40 year old and more than once I thought of slipping her something, but then I decided that secretly giving her a controlled substance was probably not the best idea I've had.
-
great improvements Mike--lookin great---good luck in the show. I think it may be good karma to put up more pics of Laura tho

::) The "thing" on the back of my neck is a superman logo tattoo that I've had for a couple years. I'm not running test and I think I look pretty damn good for 45 year old who just spent the last year battling cancer and Sarcoidosis, thanks.

Whoa! Sorry. What's sarcoidosis? They're always talking about it on House, but I guess I didn't pay attention when they said what it does. No hormones at all? Must have some crazy genetics?

Sarcoidsis is an auto-immune disease. Bernie Mac died not too long ago from it. It is most commonly found in the lungs, but can be anywhere in the body, even the eyes. I have it in my lungs and heart. I had surgery on my heart to repair the arrhythmia it caused and was on prednisone for 10 months for my lungs. During that battle I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed this past August. I still had the cells in my body after that surgery and went through radiation. I go through many tests (blood, CT, ultra-sound, full body scans) every couple months, in fact I just went through my last set less than a month ago and due for another bout of radiation and scans mid September. I'm on a pretty strict diet and have busting my ass in the gym daily, not to mention up at 4:30 every morning doing cardio. I'm sorry if I look old or weathered to you but I've earned every line on my body and damn happy I'm still here to wear them.

I didn't know about the radiation coming up in Sept. Will it be along the same lines as the way it went before?
No Stella. This one is not quite the same. I had to be in seclusion for 5 days during that treatment. This is only 3 hours. Less radiation. It's mostly to "light up" any thyroid cancer cells for scan.
Went to the pulmonologist yesterday to go over my CAT scan results. There's a spot on my upper right lobe that wasn't there before. He's going to wait and see what that radiation & nuclear scan mid september show, whether it's thyroid cancer or not. Then I'm scheduled for another CAT scan and PET scan mid October. Doc said it concerned him but told me not to worry as there were two sets of eyes on me (him and my endocrinologist). Kinda hard not to worry though after all I've been through. But on the flip side, my lungs sounded good and my PFT (pulmonary functions teat) was great. I got a 108% funtionability (80% is normal and I scored higher, so that's good. Lungs are functioning well).

not good to be on hormones while treating cancer

do you wanna find out the real cause of your ailment and how to go about eliminating it from your life ? ( while savin thousends as medical treatments treat the symptom not the cause _)

You could be right Sev. I'm sure my 4:30am cardio is not good (I totally could be getting an extra hour of sleep :)). And I dunno, my doctor thinks my protein powder & oatmeal in the morning is good, my egg white meal is good, my chicken and sweet potato meals are good, my tuna and greens are good. He just wishes I didn't take in as much protein as I do because I'm not drinking as much water as I should to compensate for all the protein going through my kidneys. I causes crystals of some sort which then can turn into kidney stones... But I'm trying to get more water in :D He is also aware of my multi-mineral/multi-vitamin I take daily, my thyroid hormones prescribed by my endo I have to take in compensation of not having a thyroid anymore and he is the one who prescribed my coreg. He also complements me by saying he wishes he could be in as great of shape (not health obviously, lol) as me. Sev, I have blood work done constantly. ALL my levels are run right down to my test and estrogen levels. I've been busting my ass every day for the last 10 months (that was when I was told by my doctor that I could start back to the gym) getting up at 4:30am and doing cardio, eating clean, hitting the gym and sometime repeating cardio. If you noticed, the pictures that have been posted are all upper body which has always dialed in rather quickly for me. My bottom half comes in a lot slower. Maybe if I showed you the dimples on my ass....never mind, you'd probably enjoy that, lol.
oh and btw....thank you for your "offer of help" I do appreciate it, but I'll stick to the doctors who are actually seeing me as a patient. No offense.

She is using something. Her thyroid hormone levels are nowhere near what a 45 year old woman's. But as someone who lives better thanks to chemistry, more power to her.

yes.................a lot of intestinal fortitude/hard work/a tough diet/and Heart!!!!!!

I'm not a walking drug test, but I would say no. this woman just looks really dieted down. The other one has a fullness that is better even than the guy's in the pictures. If you could bump up your thyroid hormone levels to an "optimal" level, it would help you look like that. Nothing wrong with it.

Are you ever tempted to take another shot at it, perhaps in another category like figure, STella? Surely, you must have thought about it?

I have no thyroid (it was removed), I have to take synthroid or I will die. :-\

Just to be clear, even if you were 100% fine healthwise and wanted to use hormones in a responsible manner (which you obviously are given the bloodwork and doctor supervision), I think that's a great thing. I get the feeling that you don't think using hormones is ok . . . I'm not in that boat.

please, allow me to apologise for not jumping to respond to your prodding, as quite frankly i could give a fuck, but i'll humour you as you seem to be desperate for someone to notice and pay attention to you from the fact that you feel it necessary to poke your nose into business that does not concern you.
i run arvillia into the ground because i can.
call it universal karma- the guy went around this board for the better part of 4 years being the biggest douchbag in the world. you reap what you sow.
secondly, he looks like a bag of shit. why would ANYONE compete with such a horrible physique? what what point does your cry out for attention overshadow your need to not be mocked? the guy must be pretty hard up for attention to have to compete looking like that.
but if he's happy, hey, all the power to him.

(Pic of Laura is from last nite at the gym .....lol if ya look closely you can see myself and IFBB Pro Marty Vranicar in the background taking the pic)
I'm very proud of Laura! ....(she "drew a crowd" both male and female when she went into the gyms "posing/aerobics room" to run thru sum quarter turns,one guy yelled out "let's see your abs!" and everyone "freaked" when she crunched down on an "ab-shot")
remember...we are both in our "mid-40's" and Laura has children (we have no "delusions of going pro") we just do this for fun/enjoyment!
i truly love this sport with a PASSION! ......somebody that spends all his/her time on a internet message board "bashing us" can't be a fan of bodybuilding or bodybuilders IMO .....we love going to shows meeting talking to people/talking bodybuilding/helping people with diet/nutrition info
we value the friendships we have made in this sport ,it's just a lot of fun (and work lol!)
no time for negativity/or negative people lol!
thx!
Mike ;)

I really don't ever remember being a douchebag. He gives and takes like most people here but he wasn't a douchebag. I will say that he needs to post MORE pics of Laura.

There is something beneath each nipple that throws off the look of his chest imo...
True, but is it gyno or something else? My chest looks similar although not as developed, but I do not think it is gyno, but I do want to "fix" it if that is possible.
-
Mike I have a question. The loose skin on the bottom of the abs, is that something that happens with age, or have you had it all along? Please understand I am genuinely curious about this, and in no way am being negative. You look amazing, and we are close in age and it would be a dream to look 50% as good as you. (no homo)

no no offense taken! (it is what it is)
well just 4 years ago i competed (my first show) with absolutely no loose skin at all (see pic),since then i have "bulked up" to well over 270 lbs ......is it a combination of too much fat and age?!?! (could i have "aged" that much in just 4 years???....i dunno
i do know im not going to "bulk" anymore and plan on staying relatively lean year round and stay within "striking distance" of any contest i plan on entering..it took wayyy too long this time to get in shape(almost 8 months of non-stop dieting/cardio) the days of being 280 lbs are over for me im afraid!

A "NASTY SHOT!"

It's really not that bad (looks worse if i lean forward) ...maybe in the next 2 weeks as i get leaner and leaner it will subside (go away be nice!)
it's gotten progressively better and better as i get leaner
we will see! ;)

How to Join the Cult of the Almighty Arvilla’s army!
NEW, ONLINE PRAYER FORM
There are 3 ways to become a member of my Cult. After you have been “Arvillafied”” you must adopt Arvilla somewhere in your name and you must have the Virtues and Greatness that the Cult of Arvilla demands.
1) YOU MAY BE "Arvillafied
This process is for people who do not have "Arvilla”" as a name. "Arvillaing" involves accepting the Almighty Arvilla as the one and only true Arvilla. "Arvillaing” should be considered a great honor by the Non-Arvilla’s.
2) YOU MAY BE A "Arvilla”" ALREADY
If your name is Arvilla”, your "Arvillaing" is automatic. Just complete the form and you're in.
3) YOU MAY BECOME A "Arvilla-Babe"
Women who wish to be in the Cult become "Arvilla-babes". They serve and service Arvilla’s for eternity. In return for this service, they can claim ownership to land.
PRAY TO ARVILLA

hes ripped and ready to do some damage for getbig
For the greater glory of Getbig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats not going to make your abs grow.
would you train your chest, arms, legs, shoulders, back with a body weight type of resistance? no i dont hink you would. abs are a muscle and they should be trained in the same fashion as you train all your other body parts.

the same thing doesn't work for everybody, but it really made a difference for me. How many competitors do you guys usually get at your shows in FL?

Looking good Mike, waist looks real small, shoulders wide, excellent V shape coming in. Legs have more cuts than before. Great job.
-
Mike keep doing exactly what you are doing for legs. they have responded like crazy to what ever you changed from your last show. kinda odd that no one suggested anything for your legs when they were worse. now that they have improved fast everyone wants you to try something different.
and i'm having a hard time not being inspired by you and Laura. if i'm not careful you guys might motivate me into training again!!
-
Mike A. looking good man, Laura looks amazing also. This is a motivating thread keep up the good work and kick some butt at the show, both of you!

What's with the Jekyl & Hyde Nutrition poster? I thought that company was fly by night. Gregg V has the whole stock in his basement just sitting there expiring.
You and Laura are my Getbig colleagues and I know I never give you many props, Arvilla but Laura looks set to win the Overall with abs like that and you look your best from which I have seen you so far.

Hey Block!!!....(the poster is hanging in our office at the Gym/we both consider Greg Valentino a friend..he has helped us out on many occasions) mannnnn i would be sooo stoked if Laura won!!!!!!

Best of luck to you guys!

Best of luck to you guys!
Thanks Larry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(FYI Getbig.........."LLES" is the man who started it all!/got me in the best shape of my life so far!/that very first show/Larry did my diet/made training suggestions/he was always just a phone call away/always ready to pop in the gym to look at me (he lived a good 45 mins from me),he was my friend,coach and mentor (i could def hear Larry yelling for me from the audience at that first show! "Mike Legs!!!!!!!! flex the godamm legs!!!!!!!!!" lol)
without Larry i prolly would be a permanent "Perma-Bulker"/"Bouncer" type physique oh yea.....he never charged me (a stranger known only from "Getbig" one penny!) great great guy!!

Laura, don't know how old u are but u look incredible for whatever age. Mike, looking good too. Real cool that u guys have each other to compete together, must help alot. Most of these clowns around here couldn't imagine a relationship like u seem to have. Just curious, you have great color. Is it from the Florida sun or do you guys use booths. Not that I can imagine someone in Florida having to use a booth.

Thanks TD!! (yes it's incredible having Laura to share this with!/makes it so much better/enjoyable!!)
not having to justify the time i spend in the gym or....money i spend on food/supplements etc etc
striving to achieve and having a goal is an awesome thing (i love the whole "pre-contest" thing and i feel lost when the show is over! ..........i start thinking bout the next show lol!) we go to the beach/pool and use tanning beds .... :)

Thanks, you two...
When you two fuckers getting married? Invite me. I'll bring my girl and The Beast. I need a reason to come to FL.
Eat up, Arvilla.. no sodium. Not a lick of sodium, actually... no fluids. No sipping, No coffee, No nothing. Get the white rice and almonds down the hatch like it aint no thang.
Around the clock eating. No drinking. Fill out. If you have dyazide then take 10mg now and again at 10am.
Cherry, you just eat some fats and relax...
Holla at your Getbig colleague!

Looking great mike - tons of improvement over the last 3-4 days as you've filled out. You got bigger and leaner. Get you under the lights tomorrow and you're gonna look very very good, diced.
Although you look like you would currently kill for a mountain dew.

EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No prisoners!!!

Eat up, Arvilla.. no sodium. Not a lick of sodium, actually... no fluids.

you have to eat sodium when crabing up, glycogen is made up of water carbs and sodium (and other things as well.)
to dry out, eat carbs and sodium, but dont drink anywater. then the water from subq goes into muscle.
without sodium you cant bring the glucose into the muscle and you wont fill out and you wont dry out
-
Is Mike nekid? I see something poking out below his hands. :-X

No sodium the day before the show so he can keep draining... starting around 3am (because I'm a big eat around the lock guy the day before a show) the food can be whatever the hell one wants, pizza...fries...chinese? It doesn't matter as long as no water is consumed. Not eve ice chips, coffee or tiny sips to "get food down".

Just got back home!
hugeee show tons of competitors each class (figure class had 20/mens bodybuilding had to be spilt in half each class there were so many competitors)
I got 9th in the "Masters Mens over 40" and 10th in the "Mens open heavyweight class"
Laura got 7th in the Masters over 40 and 10th in the open class
talked to Judges Peter Potter and Bil Nelen both said gotta bring up my quads/hamstrings (said i had good structure but as a taller competitor with long limbs i gotta fill out more/add another 15-20 lbs of stage weight/there were guys 5ft 8/5 ft9 at this show weighing what i weighed! (or more!) also said i had a "great future in the sport if i filled out"
judges told Laura she needed to "harden up her lower body some"/glutes/legs ......
met some great people! (from Getbig and MD)
Also Deke Warner runs one of the BEST shows anywhere! (competitors got "gift-bags" t-shirts,water,people to apply oil/spray tan you,Deke put out a HUGE spread of food (pasta,pizza,chicken,drinks,.......Deke was always around making sure you were ok/things were running smoothly!! it was unreal!........certainly far far better treatment than anyshow i have done or been to,from start to finish i cant say enough good things about this show! and Deke Warner and Peter Potter

the whole sodium/water manipulation and carb up process is hugely overrated.
most guys actually look better before all of this. the only people who it really helps are those who are behind in the process.
i say get lean as fuck be ready early, then if u look good why make any changes???

Nice job. Mike, you look much improved compared to your last show. Like the other guys have said, bringing up your legs a little will do wonders for your placing in these shows. Laura, incredible job. I cannot believe how great you looked. It's hard to believe looking at your contest pics that you have been through everything you have the past couple years. Congrats to both of you..

Great job you two !.......Mike, I would love to a pic of you on Monday...two days after the show.

Great job to you both. Ironically enough Bill Nelon was the first guy I competed against. He had an interesting porno stash back in the day. Peter Potter is a super guy and has been a judge forever. Gave me great constructive criticism as well.
Kudos guys!!

Thanks everyone for all the support/positive energy! (it really helped)
here are some pics of the "Spread" that Promoter Deke Warner put out for all the competitors (boyyy did i eat lol!)
The competitors were treated first class at this show (everything was backstage for you,water/food/towels,pam spray,people to help apply oil etc etc)
great show!

Wanna see RIPPED, Arvilla? Check this out... Block 2 months ago..
Looks really good Block.

Mike, You look way tighter.
But not fuller. What did you do?
I wonder how Laura ended up.
She was certainly ON.
-
(Like the judges said.....i just need to "fill out more"/add more muscle to my frame)
You got an IFBB Pro working right beside you. Have Marty put you on a leg & back routine & follow it to the tee. You have no excuses at your next show. From the front Mike you looked pretty good,but you've got to get some size on those legs esp the hams. Your ass needs to be crawling out of the gym on leg day. You cannot just rely on Chest ,shoulders & arms. No excuses, just do what you got to do. I don't want to hear what your gonna do, I want to see you do it.
-
Laura ended up in 7th place (she looked great!)
Larry ...your right! (plan on exactly that!!!!)
i was dead-dog tired/drained and should not have let it show on stage! (in this pic you can clearly see that)
every show is a learning process for me (only been competing for a few years now)

Well pick Marty's brain as often as possible, follow it too a tee & I guarantee you will start moving up. Laura looked great (esp considering what she's been thru) but put her on the stairmaster 25min a day & her lower body will match the upper in no no time. Laura has a really good frame on her, just need to dial that lower body & she's there.

Laura getting onstage after her health issues is a victory in itself. Don't listen to the haters, do your homework & if you improve from show to show thats all you really need. Placing are in the judges hands, but if you make improvement & you know 100% that you have made improvements(esp in weak areas) that's all that matters. Sooner or later the judges can't ignore you. The only comp. you have is with yourself.

couple more pics from show...

That most muscular is your best shot, Arvilla...
Laura needs to be in lighter colors. The deep purple doesn't suit her well. She'd stand out more and look better in green or even teal.

And that's the best I think Mike has ever looked. You can tell he likely suffered.
And I believe Laura had cancer...so, obviously, she has duly exceeded herself. A lesson to all.

Honestly man...you're a fuuccking asshole! Why not enter a contest and post up YOUR pics. Lets see how you stack up to Mike.
In my book Mike deserves props for putting in the hard work and getting on stage.....no matter the outcome.
Post up assshole! >:(
-
He's not going to do that. Guy prob weighs 155 or is completely obese. Obv. he's never competed or he wouldn't be acting like that. Jealousy is all it is, cuz he ain't got the grapefruits to post up. F'in wannabe :-*

My hat is off to you guys....not only did you both look fantastic, you are also great examples of living bodybuilding and not just running your yaps like ALOT of people on this board do. It takes a huge set of balls to go "onstage" for everyone to judge. Laura's hair looked great btw....the short hair really works for her.
Good luck to you guys in your next contest!

Mike and Laura good job at the show, competition looked deep. But IMO it's better to be up against a bunch of good competitors then be at a show with only a few marginal people and get a false sense of where you are at. Pizza for me too after a show!! But some Dunkin Doughnuts and coffee would also be mighty tasty.
Well now the show is over and you have had a chance to reflect I see you have established some goals of putting on a substantial amount of size for next show. What's the plan?

good job Mike and Laura, keep up the hard work
honest assessment: Given Mike's advance age and genetic structure I don't see him "putting on substantial size for his next show" or even the near future. He might be better trying to make what gains he can in his legs and back and try to come in ripped to shreds.
To me Laura has the world of potential, she has good genetics to do what ever she wants. From the pics that I saw she had the best abs and her structure is pleasing. As someone else pointed out she just needs to dial in her legs.
Good luck to both of you.

first of all thank you!
Well.....the judges told me Legs and Back (like i stated before said i had good potential and a good structure) sooooo that's what i will be doing (prolly hit this show again next year/up in size ......hopefully in all the right areas)
Laura is doing a show (switching to bodybuilding) in like 3 months (so of course ill be supporting her in all her efforts!)

Thank you!
(As the judge said "you have only been competing for a few years so you have potential but you gotta bring up those legs/hamstrings and back") game plan = lotta time spent in the squat rack! ill get em up ;)

Cool man, yes good plan take a year for sure maybe a bit more cause really you will be dieting again in like less than 9 months if the show is around the same time of year again.
You know i was gonna say Laura should try BB, i think she has a good balanced structure for it. I think she could do well with that.
Keep up the good work the two of you.

Here lol (ya can't "sharpen" a video) ;)
Do not Pose so Hard (75%). Try to Hold the Pose for 3 seconds . This will improve your presentation.
Also Breathe in threw your nose and then Breathe out when you hit your pose.
Good Job - you will do well

Laura has a great rack! no disrespect intended!
-
She's single, go for it.
huh?
-
whats wrong with laura's face?
What amount of money did this "profesionnal" photographer get from these idiots?
Whats the point of having pics of you everywhere lol, who cares? Is this some kind of transcendental shit, like it makes you feel better about yourself looking at your own pics?
What a genious this photographer is, i never thought about making profesionnal looking pics of average looking people lol. Pure business genious.

huh is not a word.
do they speak English on planet 'huh'

huh is not a word.
sorry dipshit, but it is:
–interjection (used as an exclamation of surprise, bewilderment, disbelief, contempt, or interrogation.) Origin: 1600–10
As in "Huh, you really think Xerxes had three cocks up his ass at once?"
-
She's single, go for it.
i don't know bro...she looks like she likes guys that hang out in those banana hammocks...that's not me! hehe.
