I showed cswole's pic to a competitor friend, asked him what he would estimate his competition
weight to be if he weighed 280lbs right now. Conversation went like this:
- How much do you think he would weigh on stage?
- But he has no muscle, he's just fat.
- Yeah but how much would he weigh if he cut down?
- About 78kg (171lbs)
- He thinks he has 20lbs to lose. Charles Glass and Chris Cormier are encouraging him, saying he
can be 250lbs on stage.
- What?
Funny how his estimate was so close to mine. I don't see any improvement yet to be honest. He will have to get to 220lbs before you can start seeing the ab fat getting a little thinner. So far he's just losing some of that junk lodged in his intestines from constant overfeeding. He no doubt has an enormous amount of visceral fat and marbling in his muscle (not just from the injected oil lol) too from decades of being fat. Have to take that into account also.
He is doomed to fail as long as he doesn't understand reality. Abs will be cut in 2 weeks? You could pinch 2 inches of fat on the lower abs with a caliper.
