Great separation and outer sweep with potential for a lot more size in the future
Calves look good from what I can see

what exercises worked best for you in bringing up your legs?

what exercises worked best for you in bringing up your legs?
i STOPED doing squats "ass to grass" ( ::)).
really useless imo and only built my ass.
after some problems i had with my knee i switched to parallel squats, maybe A BIT below parallel but not "ass to calves", oh boy....
also leg extensions with higher reps helped a lot.

same here actually, i stopped the ass to grass squats due to injury and i do parallel now
yeah ive put a lot more time in with leg extensions and its paid off
keep up the good work ;)
-
also descending sets are great with leg extensions.. i do this with the last set of leg extensions and actually with the last sets of most of machines exercises!!..

How long have you been hitting them hard on a consistent basis? Looking tight as hell for 7wks out

i just made sure every workout counted....offseason...a long with lots of cals, dirty and clean

Awesome - Props

Damn great!
Your quads are more separated than my 1weekout!

I do the bike 1 hour a day every morning before breakfast...i think it helps "burn the fat" on the quads and bring detail....im a believer in that.
last week i will stop the bike and just walk outside to rest my legs and bring the lines even deeper.

how are these last few days? what strategies do you follow?
-
legs look fucking shreddded dude!
-
how are these last few days? what strategies do you follow?
From today, I begin to eat 100g of rice daily with 400g of pineapple and 2kg beef.
And 8littlers of water.
Just 1 day before the contest i cut my water intake suddenly.

have you tried different methods of drying out?

Many.
This is the method we use this time after doing various experiments.

If Falcon was still here he may have some tips with all his human experiments.
-
have you ever done it this way before?
As i stated we did experiments of loading and depleation a month ago.
But, this is the first time when it comes to real.
-
Great job, Meso-z. Phenominal potential.
Looks like Leafy-bug, which is inttended as a very high compliment.
You got a contest in sight?
I tried to fix up your photo a bit. Hope it worked.
-
Great input here! What happened to the old getbiggers I grew to know?
The ones with all those negative comments!
Great to see this change!

so out of all the different methods you have tried this one worked the best?

While you have a fair amount of seperation, an indication of low bodyfat, your legs appear flat and over-depleted. With 7 weeks to go until your contest this is not a good sign of things to come. The flatness and depletion in your quadriceps make them appear under-muscled. I believe this is a symptom of an over-extended diet with odd macronutrients. Keep your calories about 100-200 higher and regulate them back to your current level in about 2.5 weeks. Make sure you are consuming 30g carbohydrate preworkout and 30g carbohydrate (with 15g sugar) post-workout, this should help alleviate the flatness. In your future offseason training, I suggest focusing more on heavy front squats, your quadriceps would look much larger and carry more mass if you performed 3 sets of heavy front squats every 7 days. Make sure all leg exercises are performed in the 6-8 rep range. Most people make the mistake of using 10-15 reps on legs, claiming they "feel it more" but inducing muscular hypertrophy is not about feeling lactic acid buildup or "the pump." I am almost certain that based on your leg development your reps have been too high to induce adequate growth.

Yeah. Simply, I shouldnt load with good amount of carbs. But i shouldnt starve my muscle neighter. So I eat pineapple.
During it is a simple sugar, its low calory. So there is no risk to spill over.
But at the same time,i raise the fat intake with eating beef to increase the calorie intake to fill up my muscle.
Drinking tons of water makes you piss a lot. If i cut water 12hrs before suddenly, my brain still believe that my water intake is high and keep on ordering pissing. So I will piss as if i drink lots of water in spite of cutting water. So to speak, it is deceiving my brain. This method is quite popular among the people who dont want to use diuretic around here.

im familiar with the method.. you said one day before the show originally, now 12 hours. ?

Oh sorry. I am very stupid. ;D
Ok.
I will stop drinking from the night of friday. I dont drink saturday whole day. Sunday morning 10:00am is the show.

Dont you think that is a bit long? couldnt you just stop saturday night? over night and in the morning should be enough time to let the water under your skin drain back into your muscles... did you ever try it that way?
-

It can be.
So this is just a plan. Depending on how i look it will be changed of course.

I agree with T on this one maybe start cutting water on saturday, you may come in flat if you start too early.

Looking good, Meso. Quads look like Alex Federov's.

Yes they are flat because i do the bike as my main form of cardio. 1 hour everyday. last week i will completely stop any form of cardio and they will regain their fullness.

nice quads bro !

Looking good Mezo, are you doing figure or fitness ?
-
8) looking tight. What type of training do you do? Rep schemes, sets, excersices? To really tell the condition your legs are in we need a pic from the back(no homo).

My kleenex are ready

great wheels bro

Awesome fucking quads bro. Love the shape, they remind me of Milos...no homo.

nothing crazy...
15-17 sets total
stretching before (very light) AND after (harder)
partial reps. leg press deep partials and squats to parallel depth partials
leg extensions 12-15 reps
heavier on the hams
lots of squeezing and flexing between sets.
biking as cardio precontest.

I came back and still no glute pics >:( :( (no homo)

Gay 4 pay. I guess money is money....

you quads look awesome man

are you sure?.. ;D
lol.
Well, maybe his glutes look like Coleman's. Would be a sight to see (no homo) :o :-X :-X
-
very impressive.
what are your stats? length of time you've been working out? leg workout routine?
Natural? ::) ::) :P

you are overtraining your legs and using rep schemes that promote minimal hypertrophy. Had you reduced your sets to 8-9 and stayed within 6-8 reps on all exercises your quads would look bigger and fuller. I am not trying to diminish your progress, but you need to re-evaluate your training protocol during your next offseason. Feeling the "pump" and squeezing the muscle during high reps has absolutely no impact on muscle tissue microtears.
