Video update looks pretty good. Just a few things - your waistline looks a tad trimmer. Your side tricep shot looks great + improved since the last update. Front delts also look more round on your front dbl bicep in the new video.
big changes Bob! actually im pretty impressed with your chest - seems to be thicker all round these days. Nice work
Stay humble. I will never see myself as even an above average bodybuilder. Regardless of how many shows you win, stay grounded and aim for improvement.
The upper body appears to have toned a bit and the waist is narrower; all in all, I would say good progress. Plus, you nailed an improvement on bench press.

Haha, when you step on stage your posing song should be Judas Priest - A Touch of Evil. I was listening to it while watching the update and you were posing perfectly with the music.
I can definately see the definition showing through, no lie.

definitely looks like you lost 7lbs of fat!!! you are hiding so much of your body with your posing...but no need to stress the posing just yet...keep it up big guy! How much longer you going to cut for?

Keep it up man!
Agree with what is said here Bob! I'd say it's been a productive 5 weeks.
verrry good progress bobbo! short period of time too.
you are fkn lean man, the only place you seem to put any fluff on in the gut area, but even then it's till masked by some loose skin as you've said which makes you even leaner in reality.

you are noticeably leaner...you've also continued to get stronger...how much longer are you planning on sticking with this cut? you might want to think about just doing a long, long, long, slow bulk...ultimately it's up to you and your goals, but for me, i think you would definitely benefit from a straight slow bulk for a year or so. i just think a long bulk would probably benefit you more than mini cuts here and there. this is in no way trying to negate what you are doing currently...just a different perspective

Yes! This is something i was hoping would show, and it is! I have changed my pressing movement and starting to really focus on banging out those reps and getting my chest engaged, I am eager to see what happens over the next few months with its development.

Posing has always been a problem, the stage is a ways away for both of us Nick, dont worry come 2011, well have that on lock. Keep doing the damn thing.

no more cutting?
Stomach has always been an issue mate, no big deal, all it is is more motivation to work harder to try and get rid of it.

Marc Lobliner showed me a completely new way to do rows, and I can feel such a better squeeze on every rep. I think that was a major turning point to helping to get them to flare, that and sticking to the basics FTMFW!

Hmmm not sure what is in that bowl, but sure it's some kind of ice cream, which is never a bad thing.
Like the other's Bob I noticed some more leanness in your follow up vid. You're pretty low bf% it appears, I know you're concerned about some loose and stretched skin, but you're still quite young and w/more bulks it will get tighter as you continue to progress towards your goal of stepping on stage.
Still think a bit longer bulking cycle would help you, also upping direct protein source intake. When I was high protein & lower carb, even though a lot of my measureables were the same, I had more definition. Remember 1 gram of protein retains 1 gram of water weight, while 1 gram of carb retains 4 grams of water weight. Iirc you're on a "higher" carb diet, even whilst cutting. Maybe consider it IF you're unpleased w/current results.
Holy video update Bob... looking great and definitely have noticeable changes for the better. Damn. You are the prime example of "putting in work" my friend. Keep it up.

I would agree with what everyone is saying for the most part, Bob. Even though you plan not to compete until '11, I would still work a little bit on the posing, as it is a way of seeing your true progression. And your insane for doing HITT after legs. I am usually wobbling out of the gym on leg days and can barely make it to my car, let alone bust out some sprints.

Well sometmes you gotta do what you gotta do. I have had to bust out 22 intervals day of an insane/heavy leg session or sometimes the day or 2 afterwards when my legs were sore as PISS, try that while busting balls with busting out intervals faster than ever.
