Matt Burzacott, the Iowa Muscle Machine

Y'all just wait and see, the Iowa Muscle Machine is just getting warmed up!!!

Bro you look great.  Like said above you calves need a lot of work but gentics are a bitch aren't they.

Your conditoning doesn't look all that stellar.  If I had the physique to compete I'd only aim for Yates-like conditioning or I wouldn't step on stage. I may be mistaken, but isn't getting proper conditioning just a matter of dedication?

Yates-like conditioning would be nice wouldn't it?

[UpTheDosage]

Tearing your pec on the bench and deforming your physique, I'm sure that had nothing to do with gear    Was it worth it?

Yes, the ONLY reason I tore my pec was because of "gear." Nothing else. And yes it was worth it.   

[UpTheDosage]

You have a very big frame, get older and wiser fill out and better conditioning.Good job.
But please get that Pec fixed.

Thanks. Yes, I am still getting older and wiser and will continue to improve. I did get my pec fixed. The only thing I could do now is get an implant in the "dent" I have. It may continue to get a little bit better because it hasn't even been a year since I tore it. I have barely even trained chest the last 9 months. Hopefully it will fill out some when I get back to training chest normal and not like a 50 year old woman.

Excellent base a very nice physique , like others said needs more size a very big frame to fill out but a great structure for one !! you should be proud you're ahead of the game.

[The-Seasons]

can you tell us how much you were pressing when the tear occured, and if there's anything you feel you did wrong (poor warm-up / poor form etc.) that contributed to the injury?

Thanks alot. I agree with you totally! I need to add alot of size. I only weighed in at 215 so I hope to come in right at 225 next year.

I was doing 455 and tore it on the 6th rep. I was plenty warm so that wasn't the problem. There are a few things that I think led to the injury. First off, it was my FIRST day in California (I moved there from Iowa), so I was driving for 25 hours without my usual sleep, food or water. I woke up my first day there and ate breakfast and went to the gym. I was most likely dehydrated, depleted, etc., from the drive. Also, I never go below 6 reps to avoid injury and I ended up getting injured on the 6th rep anyways. I will only use dumbells and machines from now on and hopefully my chest will get a little better.

So you hadn't slept for 3 days staright, no food, got into a fight with leo the lion from AWOL, along the way, and still benched 455 for 6, legendary.

hahahaha, exactly, shit if he was fully rested he must do 500 for 6.

Dude, give up any IFBB dreams, that deformed mess that you call a chest says you've gone as far your going to.

Levrone tore his pec and did very well for himself , his tear honestly doesn't look that bad , Fedorov's looks much worse.

Yeah, because no one with a pec tear can be a successful pro... right, Toney Freeman??

[Ex Coelis]

great physique.

Huge delts, hard, great quad seperation, super back; impressive

[WOOO]

awful right pec tear

[boonstack]

Sure, but trying to make it look "natural" is the difficult bit given the severity of the muscle trauma..

Plenty of physiques can still look great even with a tear ie. Tony Freemans comes to mind.

ok for everybody that does look good after a tear, there are 50 more than don't.
