You look great. Your face is a little sun burned though!

Personally I woulld up the calories and put a little more size, other than that, kudos for the physique!

Im actually gonna try and up my weight a bit in the next few months. This summer I strayed away from BBing and have been training more for athletics. I'm down about 10-15 lb from my heaviest.

... it's nice to be ripped for the summer months though!

Thanks to all of you for the positive comments. And Alexxx, don't worry mate, I'm not entering Mr GetBig this year, so you're safe for now... Next year however, you'll have problems!

your confidence is astounding... it's just a shame you can't back it up. Your posts are however very entertaining. Try not to be too predictable though, that's sarcasm's territory.

Good luck with this years Mr GetBig.

yeah, my chest is my weakest body part. It is starting to thicken out, just takes longer than the others. I've recently found that I'm getting good results by introducing lots of super-sets (bench press/dips & incline press/cable flyes)... the pump is insane!

blondmusclhunk · « **Reply #16 on:** August 03, 2006, 09:51:04 AM »

Looking good dude. I would skip the super sets! Youll burn to much. Go heavy on the chest bench, incline and flyes! Work each muscle once a week youll add thickness. Also make sure your getting enough protein 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. Youll see a diffence in a few months.

I've got one last athletics comp this Sunday. Once I've done that I'm dropping athletics and will then be training purely for size again.

Like i said earlier, I'm still down by at least 10lb from when I was at my heaviest. I broke my wrist last September, so that fucked things up a bit... hence the athletics (just a filler).

I'll drop the supersets in a few weeks. By then I'll have done a couple of months - I'll go hard and heavy after that. THen I can see which I respond to best...

I'll post a couple more pics in a few months. Hopefully i'll be around 210 and fairly lean.

Smart move...I'm under the personal belief that when you train for bodybuilding, some athletic training should be involved as well!

I agree it's always good to maintain a certain amount of athletic ability. The problem I've had this year is that I've actually been doing quite well for my athletics club and am being pushed more and more... unfortunately, as a result, the amount of cardio based training I have been doing increased about 300%. I enjoy it, but am losing far too much lean tissue.

IMO if you run more than about 5 miles a week, your body will shed muscle - regardless of nutrition/resistance training. I prefer size to athletics, so athletics is gone!

GoneAway · « **Reply #22 on:** August 04, 2006, 03:01:21 AM »

Looking good, mate. Ripped with some size still.

Glad you know your direction is into bodybuilding (I gather). I'm stuck on either sprint athletics of bodybuilding, since I love them both (although never competed.)

Faust · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2006, 06:40:22 AM »

Looking good bro. Overall nice build.
What weight do you have? I'm roughly the same height so it'd be interesting to compare.

Cardio can help you build hard quality muscle imo, but it's def. not good for your size. But you got the beach-body look going so thats not bad.

Yeah, BBing is my passion. Recently I've tried a few other sports. I'm very competitive and wanted a sport that I could compete at a high level.

My main problem with BBing is that to become truly great at the sport, "gear" is a must, and I'm just not willing to join the dark side.

Regardless of the competitive aspect of the sport, I love BBing and have decided to keep my focus with that for now.
