The Rise of Stavios!

Congrats Stavios. Great job. Maybe you could outline your diet for us.

Congrats Stavios. Great job. Maybe you could outline your diet for us.
mmmm I didn't really have any !
for the most part I hate protein only meals with carbs in the first meal, and also pre and post workout
if I trained 2 times per day I would eat 5/6 meals with carbs
if I trained 1 times a day, 3/6 meals with carbs
if I didn't train at all, I would eat protein only for the day
on days that I only train once, I would do 30 minutes of cardio before breakfast
2 days a week I ate what I wanted the whole day for 3-4 meals
the last 3 weeks I went Keto cause my weight was too high and I wanted to make it drop to the light heavy
I still have some fat to lose but I am doing it just for fun so I still wanted to enjoy life
-
Looking great! What contest? Do you think you have a chance to win?
-
pretty happy with the result !
you look great Stav, but do you have any cell phone shots so we can see what your condition is really like? these almost look like they may actually smooth you out.
-
Nice concept from the photographers point of view... lighting and all, but overall....
The posing and post-editing skills are lacking a bit.
Too dark. I've seen a lot of photographers going in this direction lately. At least the Photographer didn't pull the HDR thing on you ~
You could actually look a lot better with a little editing.
Give me the word and I'll send you something amazing. Don't wanna mess with anyone's copyrights ~
-

they do smooth me out a lot
I don't have any recent cell phot shot but honestly my physique doesn't look that good by myself on pictures, I look better with someone standing next to me cause I am pretty wide and lanky looking
here's an abs shot from a few days ago

Kick some ass brother!

Still quite a bit of fat in the lower ab area.. you are good at hiding it in some shots but fact is that it is there.
5-6 more weeks and you'll be on point, don't give up!

yeah that's what I tought too, at first some shots where amazing and I liked how it looked, then they changed the lighting so that it looks more "artistic" of whatever
but I still like them, like I said I am not that into the "bodybuilding" look that much nowadays as I'll never look like one, I was juste happy to have some souvenir pictures for later when I won't give a shit about staying lean ;D
and I fear that day might happen sooner than later
I'm getting a bit bored with bodybuilding, I might try something else in the near future, maybe some boxing lessons or something

haha I'm not getting any leaner than that, yes I need to tighten up a lot to "do great" in a show
but this one is just for fun, I can maintain that look really easily while enjoying life

great athlete

pretty happy with the result !
That fucking tat. Did you feel "unique" until you went to the hotel pool to find 20 other guys just as unique as you?

not to insult you, but i'd say you have a very similar structure to myself, except your shoulders are better. when my arms are 19 inches they still look skinny. but when you see pics with me by pros, you can see that I am a lot bigger than I look standing alone.
-

Sure. I bet you get more compliments from guys than you do girls.

yes exactly !
I don't take it as an insult at all 8)
but please don't compare myself to you, haha I am miles away from looking as amazing !!
Hope all is well with you my friend, I shared your life of alchool abuse for the last 2 years but now I'm back to a normal life ;D

I can imagine how this convo went lol.
"hello stavios, we have a pose in mind for you, flex your biceps over your head!"
"No."
"what do you mean no?"
"I already have a pose in mind!"
"but stavios this is a studi.."
"I ALREADY HAVE ONE IN MIND!!"
"Would you please be open for sugg.."
"IVE DONE THIS POSE ON GETBIG for 10 YEARS I KNOW WHAT IM DOING THIS PERFECTLY SHOWS MY WIDTH!!"""

and I actually managed to get a few workouts in, and yes, my muscle memory still seems to be there. but the drinking sure is fkn fun!!

well if you ever wanted to know exactly what you'd look like if you mega-dosed, just look at Milos in his prime.

Lol, way to totally take the wind out of Diablos sails.
Dude usually makes me laugh, but he's been extra butt-hurty recently.
I'm guessing too much Tren. I get the same way. :D
-

I think so too, i'd have to work extra hard on legs tought but after the show i'll start to do some spnning class for the heart and also i'm sure it will help make my quads grow a lot
Combinaison of bike and weights seem to work wonder
I won't mega dose thought, waste of money imo
I'm pretty happy with my current physique for an everyday look

Funny you mention that. I cannot count how many competitors have been telling me this lately. Something for the future.
Some are happy with whatever they get, but some have the attitude of "Please, I'll do whatever, GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE and please make me looks AS GOOD AS I DO!
Unfortunately, I am the artist and the Post-production guy. I can only say so much. If I were the photographer... and with my years and years of Photoshop experience...
It's really sad. Most of the photographers that come through my gym are very arrogant. I'm waiting for that one that is open to new ideas... and making his paying client look good after all the hard work they have done to look that way. Too many photographers out there trying to find their "niche" in the industry by being "different"
I don't particularly care for the way Neveaux shoots and uses his lighting, but it is very identifiable and it has a somewhat decent look. The weird lighting from the side are bottom are tough to get used to.
Whatever happened to taking your client outside at either dusk, dawn or an overcast day? You can't get ANY better than that ~
Oh well ~ I'm nobody.
-

He's probably already mega dosing to look the way he is now.

haha I looked like shit, people told me I was way too tall and lanky to be in the light heavies
Still waiting for pictures and contest results
we were 10 in the class, I'm guessing I was either 5th or 6th
I had a lot of fun tho, it was nice getting back into it

hey you had fun,pic leading up were great,u did a photo shoot,u dieted quick and made no excuses'props'these pics show u were in shape but all the extra effort to get a bit higher in placing requires more stuff.on a side note if u really went nuts on the stuff you would be a freak 230 plus on stage or more .but priorities are set for you I gather.

Exactly I really don't want to put more money and sacrifice that I already do
I like my physique the way it is right now, only goal is to bring up the cardio i'd like to be in better cardiovascular shape

Bro, you shoulda dropped that deuce BEFORE you went onstage.

I peeled one off to your avatar

Look great but I would twist more to hide waist and after contest work on tris a bit.
Just nitpicking though.

You have some gyno around the left nipple. Are you on heavy dosages?

I always had some, I think it's really not that bad
here's a pic from this week after the water rebound, back to my usual weight of 225-230
still with the long lanky arms, I don't think they will ever look good no matter how high my bodyweight gets
-
super similar build to mine. similar weight too. My arms and delts are the same. It's a bitch. Plus the great delts make them look even smaller.
no worries though, women love the lanky ripped arm look with great shoulders. Wear a thermal and you'll look like a Greek god.

would hit

Stavios,
I just did a quick chop here, but as you know and have openly admitted, your arms need a little work. Personally, I would kill the triceps twice a week and use spider barbell curls along with chins/pullups for bi's on another session.
Aside from that, I think this pose for you would look a lot better if you just simply lifted your arms a bit rather then holding them parallel. This will ad a bit of supination which in turn will force the peak of the biceps to pop a little more, but it would fit your symmetry better.
When your arms are parallel, their length really stands out, so to kill that, just lift them a bit.
Just my opinion. BTW, in the original pic, you actually dropped your left arm BELOW parallel... big difference!
Here's the chop:

hey thanks a lot man, you are right it really makes a difference !!!
what did you add, like 2 inches on my arms too ? ;D

No, it's an optical illusion.
If you would like me to, I will real quick. This is what I'm talking about.
Arnold was the master of hiding weak spots... well, so was Frank Zane, but I loved his physique no matter what he did and with those insane caps on his delts I never felt like he was hiding anything.
I'm gonna chop you bigger just for fun, give me a second.
Also, you don't have a large head. Remember how big Sergio's arms looked? Granted, they were huge, but his head was the size of a peanut.
Point is, by bringing your arms up, it makes them appear even larger.
I will lay the arms up over the arms down so you can see they are the same size... BRB.

The layover. No difference in size, just positioning.

In this one:
1) Neck bigger
2) Waist smaller
3) Lats wider
4) Arms bigger
The only change I made that was drastic was to your neck, other than that, I barely touched the arms, waist or lats. It's all an illusion and you are not that far off. What I did was not drastic. In other words: The changes I made are achievable, except for possibly the neck. Necks are like calves, either you have them/it or you don't. Guys with huge necks and calves had exceptional necks and calves from day one.

dont do this
I agree, don't do that. Remember, that jackass almost killed himself doing that stupid shit. He is very fortunate that people were around when he missed his tricep.
Of course, he thinks he is a genius and he talks like one, but then again so does Farah, and I'm sounding like a hater.
You don't kill yourself for a plastic trophy to lay next to your I.V. drip.

fucking awesome I'll try to make some posing adjustments !

exactly !
honnestly, I like my physique the way it is right now, only thing I would change is that I would like my muscles to have a harder more mature look but it will come with time.
I'm ok with my current size
I want my legs to be a lot bigger tho, I'm working on that

what he told me ( and yes he did lie to me other times) was that his wife at the time, hated injecting him and wouldn't asperate prior to shooting. it was her that hammered the full ten cc's into an artery or major vein.

Possibly more time posing.
very, very hard posing and up to two or three hours a day.
Works every time. It is painful, time-consuming and a workout in itself. I suppose you could call it an isometric workout. You will be sore the next day. Some competitors do it on and off throughout the day, others do it for hours on end non-stop.
your choice.

Ouch!
Well, whether or not she did it or he did it.. he is a trainer to competitors. The message was sent either way.
I didn't know it was 10 cc's ~ that is insane. I don't suppose she used a drawing needle on top of it..... :P

he said he always used 10 cc darts. even when he was starting out he would do all his weeks injections in one shot. if you have been around awhile, and it sounds like you know your shit (not know you're shit, lol) you may remember bill philips talking about how europeans did this in muscle media 2000. most of the drug info in those early issues he got from milos. milos was promised 50 grand for the info, but phillips burnt him

also very refreshing to hear someone value hard posing. i swear my vascularity is completely due to extremely intense posing.

stav, do You have typically "off-season" ( i mean get some water and fat... ) or do You want to stay very lean year round?

I'm fairly certain you and I have tons of empirical data...
I think we are both about the same age ~
And I actually entered Bill Phillips' transformation contest.... many, many moons ago.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! I must have been 19 or so ~

I'm actually 51... lol
The last of my competition days were at 45 years old. Yeah, I know I had a little gyno. I wasn't running much of anything and when I did it wasn't consistent. That's when I really noticed the flare up. In that first pic I didn't even know what "juice" was. I actually thought I could look like the guys on the cover of FLEX by following their workout and diet programs... I was VERY naive and lived in a very small town. Man, I had A LOT to learn! I turned to powerlifting for a time and then my low back started warning me to stop. I was deadlifting some serious poundage. I'm only 5'6" so deadlifts came easy for me.

Let me see if I can find a pic of me today at 51... I know I posted recently. I look NOTHING like you that's for sure. Funny the comment about Jeff King. Never saw it, but now that you mention it I have to give a little "lol" ~ the neck, I know.
I'm really not that big. I like to stay lean and I try to stay healthy. Getting old is not fun... well... not as fun as I thought it would be. This was last Halloween so I guess I was 50 ~

You could easily pass for early 40s or late 30s. No joke.
Posing hard is good advice. When I looked my best I was posing hard all day long. When you're dialed in you can barely walk past a reflective surface without at least hitting the mandatory poses LOL

Stav, i'd like to see a lat spread. you probably look great in that pose.
-
stav if you got a part or parts you want to bring up just train them solely till you get them there. the anabolics will hold any tissue in the untrained muscles, all you'll lose is the tightness and fullness which will return in 2-3 workouts once you start hitting them again.
try it- i was right about using cables wasnt i? :)

are those arms really 19"?
Not mine!!
My neck is actually nearly 20" ~
That might seem cool, but it makes the arms look smaller....
My arms are barely 18"... more like 17 1/2... pumped up real good, yeah 18" or a little more.
Makes no difference. My neck is too big. My arms would have to be 20" to be impressive.
-
Possibly more time posing.
very, very hard posing and up to two or three hours a day.
Works every time. It is painful, time-consuming and a workout in itself. I suppose you could call it an isometric workout. You will be sore the next day. Some competitors do it on and off throughout the day, others do it for hours on end non-stop.
your choice.
Wow this is something I'm going to have to try...
Lots of great advice being offered in this thread
