I bet half of you didn't even lift today

[Krankenstein]

Was that a knee replacement or an acl?

Get well.

Partial arthroplasty.....I probably could have avoided it if I would have just listened to Brian and got myself the right knee sleeves and a proper nutrition cocoon.

[wes]

Bulking up is an outdated old school term anyway.....you should try to build quality size over time.....when "BULKING" you just have to diet off the excess weight anyway during a prep...............UNLES S YOU JUST CAN`T GET FAT.  LOL

I had to look up arthroplasty. 

Hopefully you requested adamantium parts like Bhanky Wolverino.

Riiiiiight 20 mins at a walking pace.  Gotcha.  How odd is it that I have been around such pros as Art Atwood and Troy Alves.  They didn't just didn't just 'stop stuffing their faces' and '20 min on a treadmill'.

No doubt that you are lean.  Not in shape...but lean.  You do NOT, however, know how to get shredded.  Prove why you THINK you know more about being lean than I do.  Not a picture...tell me your thought process Brian on why you think that.  By the way, there was just ONE year I 'bulked up' in my competitive process other than that I was lean throughout my off season.

Fine I started counting calories and dieting strictly in 8th grade when I made the Varsity wrestling team. I wrestled and cut weight year round until I graduated high school. I have cut 20% of my bodyweight in a week when already single digit bodyfat. I then took that same knowledge and diet discipline to bulking and lifting. I quit alcohol and started weightlifting seriously and bulking at 170lbs and 19 years old. I was 205lbs after 4 months or one semester at college. I was 225 when I graduated and as heavy as 237 in my late 20's. I then stopped due to crohns issues and came back down to around 205-215lbs again but very lean I have been scary low bodyfat at times. I can not float. I am capable of just not eating for days. I know the protein content of everything. I can go from a bloated mess to diced in a matter of days. I am usually much leaner that this but I have been deliberately bulking for 2 years straight to get up to a still lean 220lbs as my leg issues had caused me to drop some weight was down to about 195lbs using a cane 2 years ago but still fucking diced ore so than now. If I did fucking nothing other than cleaning up my diet I would be contest condition in a matter of days. I have been no less than a week away from contest condition the last 25 fucking years 365. I just didn't compete. This is me in Maui where I lived for 5 years I was just fucking surfing and diving 10 years before I even stepped on stage look at my condition not in shape lol

[bhank]

And this is 20 years ago tell me again how I am not in shape?

[bhank]

Better yet tell me where is all the oil this board claims I put in my arms?

Fucks sake mate your contest photos say it all... stop pretending to know what you are talking about

And still no front lat spread.

No your contest photo does not say it all being in shape one day for an hour on stage after starving yourself for weeks does not say it all. Being in shape 365 with a full belly says a lot fucking more which is why I post daily updates. I am always in shape. Who the fuck cares what you looked like on stage if you look like dogshit now. You showing girls at the bar your contest photos or your arms?? I had a fat guy pull out a cell phone and show a girl his contest photo at a bar once I then lifted my shirt. You going to walk down the beach this summer showing people your old contest photos? They will see my abs from 100 yards

I know, I have met douchbags like you many times

The point Im making is that you have never been contest ready, stop pretending you have.

I have been leaner just walking around than most people are on stage. I am not prepping for anything here I wasn't dieted down or dehydrated this was my actual walk around condition

[joswift]

that doesnt alter the fact you have never been really stage ready

Try another show this year and listen to some advice this time

[Taffin]

If photoshopping other people makes you feel better about yourself have at it I guess fucking loser

Not other people - just you

I need to get bigger I absolutely don't need to get leaner I am not going to lose because I am not lean enough that isn't the issue and I don't need to do more than a few days prep to get as lean as everyone else on stage. The issue is the size I am 44 years old it isn't easy to blow up my leg size at this point. If I competed in classic at 205lbs I would be very competitive. But my ego won't let me do that. I have to weigh in heavier and compete as a Heavy

Well yeah I was kitesurfing and free diving and surfing almost everyday I was not bulking and I was in my late 30s. Obviously the world prefers that kind of athletic surfer look but I want to be a freak.

Don`t you think your potential competition is eating right now and preparing also?

You better bring those legs up as best as you can.

Very odd behavior for an adult.
