Here is a recent pic of me taken a few months ago, 1 year off all gear at 39 years old.In this pic I weigh around 257-260 lbs, I am trying to get down to 230 lbs by early next year.I am retired from competitive bodybuilding so I see no need to carry 280-290 lbs like I used to offf season.After carrying that much weigh for 4 years, (2001-2005) it becomes alot of work, and your tired all the time.Right now I just want to get down to 230 lbs, and look slightly muscular but healthy.

You look good dude...especially for 39 years old. Did you do anything after you stopped the gear to get your natural test going again? Clomid or hcg or anything like that. Have your natural test levels recovered ya think?Just curious since you are 39 yes old and still appear to be very muscular.
-
Wow! 250lbs. you're a BEAST! ;D
Labels are coming along.
-
You look really good man. Off a year??? wow. Did I miss a previous thread? Have you decided to stay off permanently?
Mike
-
damn still Jacked though... While you were that big was cardio a regular part of your training regimen or are you blessed with a speedy metabolism? I hear It can make a huge difference when one reaches that size.
-
have any pics of when you where on

John...
Looking awesome.....cant wait to hang with you at the Olympia. I will call you tomorrow....want to touch base on upcoming show!!!

Garreth,I think they ask to see a pic of me because I have stated numerious times that I retired from bodybuilding in July 2005 after the Mr USA, and that I have been off al gear for a year.So I guess they wanted to see how much my body changed being off of al gear for over year.
GT When I came off of all gear last year I` was going to use `some HCG or clomid, but I couldnt get my hands on any .So I just used natural Testosterone boosters for 3 months .Like Longfolia, Tribulus, Velvet VDA, Muira Puama, Maca, as well as a`few other all natural testosterone boosters to help my body bounce back.I was holding like 272lbs up until about 5 months ago, without drugs until I cut back my calories.The trick to not losing alot of size when coming off all anabolics is to have a solid foundation already.I trained for 15 years totally drug free, and my off season weight would be around 250-255lbs , so I built a solid foundation.The only reason I started using anabolics is I was stuck at 250 lbs for 3 years naturallyh, plus I qualified for the USA being natural.You know as well as I know only a fool would enter the USA` drug free.The problem with most guys thae use anabolics never build a solid foundation so when they come off of them they shrink up.Or another scenerio is when they are off of a cycle they get lazy, dont eat as much, and dont train hard, its like they lose there confidence.Wether I was on or off a cycle I ate and trained just as hard, but when I wasnt on anabolics I would just cut back on my sets, and make my workouts shorter.Because you know anabolics make your body recover twice as fast.Plus I always supplemented heavy I would take in 600 grams of protein and 50-60 grams of L-Glutamine and BCAAS per day, to help my body get the aminos it needed to repair its tisue
.This year, I have been working out 20 years and 15 orf them were drug free, 3 1/2 were on anabolics, and this last year, I have been off al gear as well.So the best advice I can give anybody is build a solid foundation, and dontr just realy on drugs to give you the body you want.This`way you wil hold more muscle when your off of a cycle, so you wont just have a` drug body

600 grams of protein per day...wow. Eating must have been a full time job.Thanks for the response.

Legs are big enough.... so stay away from the squat rack and keep to leg exstensions.

No offence but given the fact you know exactly why you were asked to show the pic why not show a pic that makes it clear just what you've lost rather than the crossed arms push biceps out pic

exactly what i was thinking. show shirtless pics. in that pic your waist is huge as well as your stomach.
-
I know 600 grams of protein is alot to take in a day but I would take in 300 grams from protein powder and 300 grams from solid meals.I would have one solid meal, and one from protein powder and alternate them out the day.
Rocket as far as the pic goes that is the most recent picture I have, because I dont go around taking pics of myself .Since I was asked to post a pic, I posted the most recent one I had.As far as pushing my biceps out, if you look closely I am not trying to push my biceps out.Besides 257-260lbs at 5'11 is not huge, but I feel I am big enough to not realy on pushing my biceps out, or even sticking out my chest when taking pictures.I havent measured my arms but I would have to say they are still around 20", since they were around 21 -21 1/2" just last year.I have only lost about 20 - 25 lbs since I was off all anabolics.
-
Hoodwinked by HGH
-
I didnt use HGH, because I have a` very large rib cage and big hips like Art Atwood, so if I did HGH I would have started to look like him.I only used Test,( Sustanon 250) Primobolan, and Decca or Tren on my off season.Precontest I would use test propinate, Primobolan, Winstrol, and Anavar.I never used insulin or GH because of if you have a big rib cage or a big frame they will give your body a very blocky and ugly look

You know I posted a pic because Mike and Cheri asked me to.No I dont to claim to be huge, I am a` 39 retired bodybuilder who hasnt used any anabolic steroids for over a`year.When I did compete naturally I` won the Mr Natural International, Mr Natural World, and took 4th in Mr Natural UnIVERSE.After only 3 years of anabolic use I took top 10 in the national levels shows `as an open athletes competing at 255-258lbs ripped.Now that I am`retired I now formulate supplments for athletes like Art Artwood, Gustavo, Will Harris, Bob Chic, and Toney Freeman , just to name a`few.My goal is not to be huge anymore, but to get down to 230 lbs, look healthy, and be able to help other probodybuilders, and to help me, al I cal say is god bnational level athletes get there pro card.I have nothing to prove at this point, I just want to expand my company, and work with other athletes.So you critisism meas nothing to me, but if you have any terchnical querstion I will gladly answer them for you.....God Bless.......John

I'm not denying you don't look huge, I'm just saying I think you look large enough to be dominant in any pose but if thats the only one you have fair enough.

Cool do your arms are bigger than your legs now, huh? Has anybody ever told you that small legs on a big torso looks like a 10 year cripple who just learned to walk for the first time?

Why did you stop trying? HOw many times did you compete in a pro qualifier? Just curious. You look really good in that pic..
-
I hope you had a lot of fun competing and being a true monstrosity! You looked great then and still do now!
-
damn! i'm 38 and i don't look that good! u r one big dude! keep up the excellent work! :o
-
The reason why I retired from competition is I did not want to have to put more drugs into my body then I already did.I have a very large bonne structure, and in that pic I posted from the USA last year I weighed 258lbs the judged told me I needed to add another 20 lbs on stage to win my class.Now I got up to 290lbs off season just using Sustanon 250 prmiobolan and some Decca, plus eating 8-9 times a day.When I`weighed 290lbs,I was fairly lean ,but I had a`hard time walkinmg up steps I was always` tired plus I had a`hard time breathing while I was sleeping.So to get another 20 lbs of muscle on stage that would mean I would have to get up to 315-320 lbs off season.I coudlnt possibly get over 290lbs without the use of a` ton of GH and insulin, which are 2 things I never have nor ever wanted to use.I was all natural until I was about 34 years of age so I got a late start in the drug game.At 38 years old a the time, I figured I went as far as as I could in bodybuilding without shortening my lifespan.Now If I was lets say 28-30, an Id I started using anabolics and I was 290 lbs off season I might go up to 315-320 lbs so I could turn pro.When
-
(coninued from my last thread ) Weh I` was up to 290lbs, my body was having a`hard time breathing, and my blood pressure went through the roof.At 38 years old, it doesnt take much to have a` heart attack.Plus I didnt want to take insulin, or GH, because I have a big rig cage already so it would just make it bigger.Insulin is very dangerous, and can put you in a diabetic coma, or even dive you diabetes.I love bodybuilding, but there is more to life then competiting.I have a` very succesful company 2 teen age children, and a` great wife, so I have to think of them not just myself.Now I just work with national level and pro athletes, by making custom frmulations for them or giving them advice on dialing them selves in.

if you are still working out you look like shit.....but since you said youve retired and havent took steroids in over a year, you may not have been working out either, in which case...you look like you used to workout..which is decent, ii guess.

So you're 5'11" and weigh 260 pounds.. I'm no expert, but I'd guess 220-225 pounds.. Ok, I am an expert..
PS... my penis is 12" but I want to get it down to 10"

Candidate, would mind posting one of your old pics, or a new one?....I'm curious what someone who does workout, looks like.
Thanks

k just visualize the body of the most muscled man youve ever seen...then put a 17 year olds head on his body..and thats me. :)
-
No HRT? You look to have kept a lot.
Smart decisions though, good for you.

It's only 1 newer pic and he look's pretty big to me,if u think he's small your either delusional about yourselves or just being ballbreaker's.

I just posted a recent pic because Mike and Cheri asked me to.I didnt post this picture to impress anyone, why would I? I am a 39 year old retired bodybuilder who hasnt used any anabolics for over a year, plus I am intentionally trying to get smaller.Right now I am`around 255-260lbs, and pretty lean, my are are probably 20" and I can `still bench 500lbs, so I wouldnt consider that to bad.The reason I want to get down to 230lbs is because I carried 280-290lbs off season for 4 years, which if you dont know, its like carrying around an extra body around all the time .I competed for 12 years, and won a respectable amount of shows, and I went as far as I could without endangering my health.My point is yes there alot of better physiques out there then I currently have now , there should be, I am no longer a bodybuilder.I am just a 39 year old man that works out who wants get down to 230lbs and have a healthy and toned body.I see no need to carry mass amounts of muscle anymore, because I would rather live a longer healthy and prosperious life.If you think carrying 280- 300 lbs around on a daily basis wether your body is musclar or fat, your chances of having a heart attack are suprisingly high.In life sometimes you have to put your ego down, use your brain and make a decision that benifits your family aswel as your health

Cheap Stomach you realy worry me.Every time I post a pic, you post the same pic of Elton John, "with John D" over it.I dont know anybody except you who even own a picture of Elton John, so you must have some type of weird morbid obsession with Elton John.I bet your room is plastered with pictues of Elton John, and I bet you even dress up in some of his customes and lip sink to his songs.You have al of Elton Johns albums, and play them on your moms record player over and over again.Cheap stomach, you need to keep your fatasies to your self, and come up with some new material , because you been using that same picture for 2 years.Cheap Stomach=trailer trash pillow bting Elton John groupie

I know 600 grams of protein is alot to take in a day but I would take in 300 grams from protein powder and 300 grams from solid meals.I would have one solid meal, and one from protein powder and alternate them out the day.
Hey dude, you look great.....BUT, 600gr? There is absolutly no physiological benefit for that much protein!

You couldn't find any clomid or HCG? Where do you live, Siberia?

Well I can attest that John is yoked since I have seen him progress over the years in person. If you guys met John you would want him to be your friend. Cool as hell! I did some natural shows in Vegas a few years ago that he was apart of and his supplement knowledge is incredible. I believe 100% his claims since I have personally seen and noticed when he went "on". For those that don't think he's big you are sadly mistaken. The last time I saw him he was around 250-260 and that was maybe 5 years ago at Golds on Flamingo/Sandhill and he was f*king jacked! John will agree with me that his only problem was genetics not how hard he trained or what he took. Physique was a little blocky which forced him to have to put on a ton of weight for his bone structure. Either way cool cat, good luck John with your new life after BBing! Are you still in the supplement industry? I remember you had your own line called "Extreme Labs" which sold really well out here.

Hey John, I need to do some recent pics I guess to judge were I am at because photos don't lie. I'm no different than anyone else and always look in the best lighting condition mirror I have to judge myself ::). I'm glad your business is going well and I will definetly stop by and check out the new digs in your booth. The last 2 shows I did Suzzette Healea (you remember the blond with reeeeally long hair) trained me for it and it was the 1999 Silver State Natural at Arizona Charlies and then a week later I did the Vegas Classic as a natty. Maybe someday i'll do another who knows. I'll see ya in a few weeks...
-
Bald Daddy, I know suzette quite well, unfortunatly she wondered down the wrong road about 3 years ago, but she .is doing better nowSuzzete was a great athlete, and a good trainer.I look forward to running into youat the Olympia Expo
UKGold as far as HCG goes I couldnt get any Americasn or European HCG, and I wil never put aything in my body made in Mexico.Plus the gym I train at is the same gym Jason giamabi said he bought steroids, in Vegas, so the feds still know about that gym.So you dont wont to go advertise the fact that I want HCG, and my supplier didnt have any HCG.
Mr intense one I know 600 grams of protein seems like alot of protein, but when I was taking in that much protein I weighed 290lbs.If you do the math that is only 2400 calories from protein, and I have a fast metabolism and I need atleast 3500 calories a day just to maintain weight.If yu do your research most of the top athletes take in around 1.75 to 2 grams of protein per body pounf per day.Plus by keeping my protein so high even at 290lbs my body was fat was fairly low, and my muscle were full and and vascular.I have been on both sides of the fence so to speak I was natural and I used anabolics and I found in both situations my body put on alot more qualty mass, when using 2 grams of protein per body pount per day .Another benefit was I train heavy, and by keeping my protein ,L-Glutamine and BCAAS at levels high this keptmy nitorgen levels in a positive balance so I had very few injuries.I think anybody who is serious about training, and waqnts to take there body to the next level needs to take in 1.75 to 2 grams of protein per body pound per day
-
your packin alot of muscle,you can see that you got great muscle maturity which only comes from hundreds and hundreds of brutal hours in the gym
-
Wow you look good bro, there's no doubt that you were a competitive bodybuilder even from the looks of your current pic. Shit your pic now looks better than 99% of the guys that you'll find at any local gym, excluding your in Venice where all the pro's are, but shit even then you'd fit in. Just signed up to say whats up to another fellow bb.Take care bro, to you and your family.

PS... my penis is 12" but I want to get it down to 10"
so just fold it in half like I do mine

so just fold it in half like I do mine
Wow! I have the same problem. Here is what I have to do. I grab my unit like a baseball bat and with the other hand push the tip in as far as it will go so it rolls in about 5 inches so now its in half. I then take a rubber band and tie it off. Kinda sux but it works...

You look good. Why did they ask you to post a pic? Odd.

You are a heavy trainer, HAIL to that. Your statments are exactly what I think: Go heavy, donīt be lazy and your body won't let you down. Today, BB tend to train only under juice effect (see Levrone, looks like a High school boy) Keep going hard and heavy.

HAHAHAHA

lookin big there bro! not bad for 39. (i'm 38).. ;D

To see how he looks after a year off juice I reckon.
