Sorry the vid did not load right above but it's up now. Would you not agree that he has maintained better conditioning while also gaining size? His arms are insane, back is hanging off him and his quads are huge. He has always guest posed quit a bit but he has a new crazy look. In the vid with all the pros he is in a league of his own.
He has to dial it all in and last year he showed he could.
That is my point, what you just said, he kept his contest prep demeanor year round and that is why in the video there he is in a league of his own.
But if you guys are thinking that this is his version before he starts contest prep and he will step it up for contest prep, you guys are gullible, he has no where to go from here hormone wise, he can not up anything, he is already full out and has been all year.
This is why no one does this and turns it down a notch during the off season and then introduces mega mega hormones for the last 4 months. Watch everyone in that video will dramatically transform, except for him.
I predict a huge down fall for being burnt out for holding on to hardness year round, only the lighter guys can do this, not the mass monsters.
