What's up Get Big! Just thought I would make my first post with a couple pics. I've been scanning the board for a while and know how harsh some can be, lol. Please critique. I am open minded and know it's always gonna be a work in progress.
I'm around 215-211 in these pics.
I am drug free 100%, as you can tell,ha. No steroids, hormones ever. (Don't have anything against them either.)

To make it short I just lift as heavy as I can. I do bench,deads and squats. I've been lifting for 9 years, somewhat bodybuilding for 3,if that makes sense. (still learning diet) I've learned that tanning/lighting makes a huge difference, darker the better. Only go for maxes on high carb days earlier in the week, If a bodypart is up to par I will ditch it for a couple weeks and focus on weak areas, and let the mirror tell me the truth don't let the scale lie, my theories.

Welcome, big man... I agree, structure looks great. A good structure for competitive BB, as far as I can see.

Thanks bro! I plan on trying to do a show in late summer. A natural show, but who knows who is natural on stage anymore,ha. I'm just looking for a fair shot at it you know. Dieting is beyond the toughest thing, but I'm sure you know that. I haven't been able to get under 12% for sh*t. Love handles are hard to get rid of for sure.

Your bed sheets revealed your true colours on the internets.

GoneAway · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2009, 11:44:55 PM »

Love handles from the front aren't a problem, but just make sure to keep the top of your briefs/trunks tucked just under the handles. It'll make the handles seem like the bottom of your waist as opposed to being actual love handles. Little illusion that worked for an unknown BB called Arnold something...

Your waist is naturally much smaller than your hips, so there'll always be that difference there, I wouldn't worry about it. The tiny waist will offset it.

For competition, dieting is 100% key. You look to be about 15-17% bf in the pics, which is pretty good. There are alot of competitors on here that know alot about dieting for a show. Have a look round and you'll find some good information.

I will try that on the next pic, thanks.
15-17% is probably where i am. I have been measuring my waist and putting in the numbers for an estimate, but have never been officially tested.
