Looking killer bob ^

Can't wait to see how this growth phase goes.

220.4 this morning. 12 days out, but I'm pushing hard to bring in my conditioning. Did a very unconventional prep style, but it enabled me to have a growth period. Now I'm paying the price for it. Calories at 850 and cardio at 2.5 hours. That'll continue for 5 more days then I'll carb-up on sunday - have low calories, light pump work, and cardio until Friday when I carb-up and hopefully nail my peak for Saturday. Hoping to drop another 1.5-2% bodyfat. 5 days at over a 2k deficit could definitely get me there and I still have more water to drop which will get me even tighter. Pray for my soul, though.

To update, these are all from the last few days. Got down to 202.4, so I'm happy. Now it's time to skip load (aka shove down the carbs), bloat up, then just let the water drop off this week. Hopefully will be full, dry, and a little leaner than I am in any of these. All of these I'm really flat in. On stage, I'm hoping to be 10+ lbs heavier than these shots.

Little bit of veins.


Super flat and unpumped, but I was happy with how dry I had gotten.


Some back posing work


Front on angle is my worst. Was holding more water here. (and no this isn't the pose I will be doing).

You look CG you're so lean lol. Mad props

[Hulkenberg82]

Here's my road from 265 lbs (116 kg) to 160 lbs (72 kg).

[Siobahn]

Looking good Bob, them delts poppin out!

May I ask, were your abs visible at extremely low bf?

[ErikTheElectric]

So it's been quite a journey over the past 4 years. Lots of ups and downs, but I finally felt like throwing up a compilation of pictures throughout my entire journey. There are obviously various pictures that probably tell the tale a little bit better. But these are the main ones that I have for now.

Thanks to everyone who's supported/encouraged me a long the way. Now, after gaining 70 +lbs since officially "commiting" to a mass gaining phase from march of 2013 (130lbs) ---> July 2014 (201.4lbs). It's now time for a fat loss phase.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the end result will be.

Thanks guys

Just was looking through pictures and noted this.

When i competed in 2012 Shelby Starnes and John Meadows both told me Chest Thickness and Hamstring's had to come up, 2 years later and 20 pounds difference (151/171) I think there is some progression:

[necon76]

^Legs have completely transformed Bob. Delts are much fuller now too.

[bambam601]
