Title: Matt Kroczalewski dieted down.
Post by: BB on April 27, 2010, 07:16:38 PM
This has been a hot topic on the powerlifting boards. He is competeing in the Michigan NPC State show May 8th, these pics are from this week, so he's about 2 weeks out in these shots. Where do you realistically think he'd place? I'm not that familar with current levels of state competition.

pictures taken in a gym, after a good workout are simply terrible measures of what a bodybuilder will look like on stage

stage is totally different, cortisol is working to flatten you, and you havent just worked outheavily

nothing against this guy, because EVERYONE does it

and NO ONE ever looks on stage like they do in their X-weeks out gym pump pics

why should we care?

No other reason, than I'm bored and figured Getbig could sustain one more thread about a man in a thong. Also these Powerlifter dieted down threads are somewhat interesting once and a while.

I wonder what his workout structure looks like.. I bet he doesnt waste his time doing gay movements like flys, kickbacks, laterals..etc..

Unlike most 'bodybuilders' who think they have to do every exersize their is for each bodypart.

Yes...the guy looks good, very good

Now lets watch the Flying Asshole Brigade of getbig tear him down for no apparent reason  :)

Legs don't match upper body, but pretty solid physique

Legs are severely lacking, no hamstrings on that side chest.  Upper body is great though - might be able to win a local show based on that alone, depending on the competition.

He's only been doing the bodybuilder type stuff a few months. The older logs were very basic lifts done with heavy weights/low and very high reps/ low number of sets.

I like the guys from a lifting stand point. He's one of those bulldog type lifters that just gets under the bar and puts in his time.

Looks solid but is his back totally broken out or is it just a poor quality picture? Had a couple buddies who's backs would look SO sick and broken out, didnt see how it was worth it to be big but have a zit farm on their backs.

Yeah, that is something that needs to be put in check, for what-ever reason, he develops super strong back acne-

This isnt worried about on stage.  Its about the muscle   ::)
