Looking great man, excellent triceps!

Thanks man, workin on my side triceps pose so I can show them off well while still showing off the rest of me.

I dislike you

(in a good way of course)

[mistahAIM]

Your six-pack is flawless.

[Stathakis]

I just realized that you're the same guy who had those professional pics that were crazy. Glad to see you're a monster without the editing too. Keep up the amazing work.

Thanks dude. Ya most of that wasn't editing so much as it was 3 images layered on top of eachother at varying shutter speeds so it made it really grainy and detailed.

[sSp3ct]

looking great, back looks thick as fuuuuk. good luck at the show!

[DanTheManB]

Sigh that's whats pissing me off. I am trying to tell myself that genetics is bull**** and I can make it happen if I train it right and hard enough but this might be a wall I hit. All I can keep doing is trying to push more weight for them and hope for the best.

you can make minor improvements in calves but yeah brah they truly are genetics

[DanTheManB]

LOL I Know about those calves. I'm pretty embarrassed about them but I hit them twice a week so there's not much else I can do. Just gotta hope they grow as the rest of my legs do over time.

your quads/hams have a real shot at getting really thick. calves will improve...but wont as much as your quads will. can tell by how they're shaped/inserted

[WhistleTips]

Game on boys. Chest tonight, I'm stoked. Motivated as **** right now.

Damn impressive. Wish I had reps to give you.

[MikeNeves]

Huge, and good muscle form.

[alfredojra]

you are an inspiration

[William2003]

Looking great

[Rsardinia]

Thanks guys. Peak week begins tomorrow, time to get diced to hell!

[B4ll3r4lyf3]

Mate, them pictures are sick.

Really that is awesome. As I feel my diet is my downfall, what is your exact thought process to avoid ****ty food and concentrate on good stuff?

Talk me through it as I think my whole diet is where I go horribly wrong, obviously it appears you do not suffer the same problem.

Tri-Workout? Dayum.

Try to start eating more salads with chicken, or eating more fish with vegetables. It's really simple you just gotta force yourself to do it all the time. You know the good stuff for you, and almost always fast food or take out is bad for you (unless you know the right places to go). It also helps using a site like fitday.com where you can input your foods and see where you would be for the day. That's probably the best thing I do diet wise. I get to work or wake up in the morning and plan out my meals ahead of time with what I'd like to eat. Then I add/subtract things until my numbers are good. So if for instance you know you are going to dinner that night at some restaurant, look up their menu ahead of time pick something out you want to eat and add it to your fitday as best you can. Then adjust the rest of your day's food intake around that planned meal to make your numbers workout. And then the hardest part of all is you gotta stick to that plan. You can't plan out your food and then go off on a tangent and eat something else or add in other things you didn't plan on because then you are ****ed.

Cheers mate, I will definetely try out the fitday website right now.

Protein intake a day approx?

[reediculous]

[Cheap5.0]

Solid advice on the nutrional side of things, thanks for the tips...its what ive been wondering about as well.

Good luck at the comp, blow them away mate!

1.25x your lean body mass should be good. So if you know your bodyfat % you can figure out your LBM and go from there. For reference I take 250g daily.

Yes sir!

Nice, I'm 18 and I take in 290+ grams/day, do you think this is overkill? I have a fast metabolis, too.

All of it is clean, as well (chicken breasts, lean steak, whey, tuna).

I'm currently taking 250g and that works fine for me. I would probably drop yours a tad but as long as you feel its working for you then that's fine.

I have the exact same problem with my calves. It is really annoying, I'm sure you are like me, because my calves are strong as hell. I have the seated calf press and standing calf press completely maxed out, no more room to load weights.... and even with using the leg press for calves they still aren't growing... they just keep getting stronger and stronger... oh well.

You looking f'ing sick man. Best of luck.

Thanks, bro. However, if I did drop it, how do you think my other macros should be (considering my metab)? Thanks a lot for your info, man.

[Aus_89]

Ideal physique. Perfect ha

If they're not growing with heavy weight then try high rep

[deltpecx]

Here it is ...PEAK WEEK!

[Ironmind10]

Thanks everyone. Not sure how much leaner I will get but I'm excited to see. I've never eaten this many carbs when cutting so I expect to be fuller and bigger than I've ever been at whatever bodyfat percentage I get to. I've been super lean before but was always flat when I was there.

Good Luck Rob!! Stay focused.

[Rsardinia]

Few pics from posing practice @ 6 days out. There's more posted on my blog.
