I think you look great and are one of the top naturals on here.
But you will see when you diet all the way down that you will need to lose around 40 lbs.
No shame in admitting it. You have great muscularity and will look pretty impressive once you diet down.
Adam,
Of course I feel that way about you also and have said it before and will say it again. I think in general the point needs to be made that without hormones, the human body simply was not designed to carry as much muscle as we have been led to believe.
As for dieting down, I've seen guys at 230 in the same condition as me if not worse get to 190 totally shredded and maybe even too depleted. That said, if I get back to the low 200s and cut from there, I can't see needing to lose quite 40 pounds to get in top condition. Granted, I would have to lose a fair bit, I won't deny that, but 40 pounds seems a bit much I think. 40 pounds would definitely not be 40 pounds of fat alone.
That said, I don't plan on cutting anytime soon. What I would love more than anything:
1. Once I get to 200-202, find some kind of diet to help me add five pounds of lean mass over the next year.
2. Get a chest. My back is a weak point too, but nothing I don't think I can bring up or was ever worried about. Chest on the other hand, I've tried lots of things and it stills stalls. Worse than anything is that I could probably do a 320 bench with strict IPF form right now and I still have poor chest development.
Stavios sent me a good PM on chest training that I still need to respond too.
