Title: Leafybug Team Bones Update! 9 weeks out
Post by: The_Leafy_Bug on June 14, 2010, 07:03:36 PM
 9 weeks out.... i took the opportunity to train with Noel Fuller this year. Hope he can help me bring myself in as big as possible with the same conditioning as last year. I would also like to thank Ripitupbaby, stuntmovie, and trueabeles for their support.

Why do you take pictures in direct lighting? You like to look worst then irl? Ask a friend with an SLR cam to take some decent pic at daylight in a fucking garden. BTW i can just envy you, fantastic build. But these pictures make you look extremely stupid...

You guys would be blown away if you could see him in some Kamali Kitchen favorable lighting. A SLR is in order here.

 Leafy still has a TON of room to grow and he is consistently doing so with ease and is not rushing it.  This means he will have the longevity for continual improvement rarely seen in competitors these days.

direct lighting doesnt allow you to look at yourself and think 'wow, i look great' like when posing under a light that casts shadows, unless you really are bang on.

basically you want the most critical, harshest light you can use so you can better see your flaws.

shadow lighting is for those who want praise. direct lighting is for those who are serious about seeing what kind of shape they are really in.

edit: he's as white as drywall and you can still see his conditioning under those lights. on the right track for sure. keep up the good work.

You know, details lost in the shadows can be revealed with Photoshop, but details lost in the brightness are lost forever. I'm not a pro photographer, but i think, its always better to make pictures a bit darker, and later if you want you can brighten them up to observe details. But in these ones light doesn't reveal any flaws, it is so strong, it takes away details. Leafy has to buy an SLR, and find the golden mean with the lights :D

This debate is the real reason of Getbig's existence. Those brave people will soon return to us with scientific proofs, which may settle this  argument once and for all. That will be the bitter-sweet end of Getbig - but a new begining for the human race.

A vision of things to come if Leafybug continues to improve?  You have to admit, there are structural similarities:

I was actually stronger last year doing front squats with 375.... This year ive just kept it moderate... nothing crazy. I think i did some back deep squats with 405 for 6 reps or so but nothing spectacular by any means. Just consistency.

Fairly well.... usually just the older women though but i think thats more or less because i attract that particular group. Older women seem to be my niche.

I think there is something to be said for attracting things to yourself that you secretly desire. Younger women are ok i guess but personality wise i don't click with them very well.

:)
whats your diet at this point? cardio?
My diet is very different this year. I guess because im so much more active i need more calories. I am eating close to 3000 this year as with years past id be lucky if i could eat 2000 and lose. I am currently doing no cardio and hoping i don't have to. Just bringing it all down very slow and trying to save as much muscle as possible. Hoping to be a LHW. Im eating about 2.5 lbs of meat and a day with just regular carb sources... oats, rice, potatos, nothing fancy.
