So this is what 200 lbs built looks like

**superhombre2k** · 02-18-2007, 06:31 PM

I haven't been 200 built ever, but I do remember when I was around 215 soft and it was NOTHING like this. I'm by no means ripped, but that comes later...

I felt like such a scumbag taking these in the gym bathroom but it had good lighting!

**superhombre2k** · 02-18-2007, 06:58 PM

I'm going to keep working on building muscle until about 210 or the end of April when the weather gets nice again, and then I'm going to carefully lean out.

**ShutUrPieHole** · 02-19-2007, 12:06 AM

I'm sorry, but why are you so focused how much you weigh anyway? It's not about how much you weigh... it's about how MUSCULAR you look. That's what bodybuilding is all about.

I actually disagree. I do understand that the idea of bodybuilding is to look muscular, but "muscularity" is completely subjective. Your weight is a quantitative value that can be easily tracked. Anyways, keep it up man, you're lookin thick.

looking good man if you just cut to get rid of excess fat y the summer you will look awsome!

**V8*workHORSE** · 02-19-2007, 04:36 AM

**bbstar** · 02-19-2007, 06:16 AM

yeah do lots of cardio, get cut. try to lower your bf to like 11% bf then u'll look good.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm knocking back a 40g whey shake, I had a shot of flaxseed oil a moment ago, and there's a whole grain bagel in the toaster right now. I'm going to be hitting the gym in a few hours and working chest, shoulders, and tris. This is my split, for those who are interested:

Monday:

Squat - 2x5
Hamstring Curls - 3x10
Bent Over Row - 4x6
DB Curls - 3x8
Calf Raises - 3x15
Hanging reverse crunches - 3x8 strict

Wednesday:

Bench Press - 3x5
Inclined DB Press - 4x8
Overhead Press - 3x8
Skull Crushers - 3x10
Swiss Ball Crunches w/ plate - 3x10

Friday:

Deadlift - 2x5
Front Squat - 3x10
Chin-ups - 4x6
BB Curls - 3x8
Decline Crunches w/plate - 3x15

Next Monday:

Inclined Bench Press - 3x5
DB Press - 4x8
Overhead Press - 3x8
Tricep Pushdowns - 3x10
Sit-ups/Abs - 3x10
Hanging reverse crunches - 3x8 strict

Next Wednesday:

Squat - 2x5
Hamstring Curls - 3x10
Bent Over Rows - 4x6
DB Curls - 3x8
Calf Raises - 3x15
Swiss Ball Crunches w/ plate - 3x10

Next Friday:

Bench Press - 3x5
Inclined DB Press - 4x8
Overhead Press - 3x8

I'm on the second Monday of this rotation, and it's my 4th time through now. This is my new favorite routine. Previously, I ran track for college so I was doing a lot of specialized lifting for a few months, and before that it was about 8 weeks of Baby Got Back from the WBB forums. Before that, well, look up my threads and it's the big log I ran.

Good point; bodybuilding IS subjective. However, weight alone doesn't mean much. For example, I only weigh 170, but I'm quite a bit more muscular than superhombre2k @ 200. However, I'm 5'6 and I suppose he's running around 6'. There's the difference; different framework.

(I'm not saying I'm better than anyone by any means, only trying to prove my point.)

i think what he was meaning to say is that weight is something that can fluxuate up or down day to day, you should always give or or take some lbs due to water, the food in your stomach, etc.

**monsterBEN** · 02-19-2007, 10:31 AM

nice work.

**EoR** · 02-19-2007, 10:39 AM

I am basically your bw% maybe a few % lower and I can tell you it will still look great if you put on 20lb of lean muscle under that.

You look healthy and pretty big buddy, keep it up and don't worry about a cut now tbh.

**Brandon81081** · 02-19-2007, 11:09 AM

pretty massive...now cut

**SuiCiDaL cLoWn** · 02-19-2007, 11:16 AM

Nice sideburns.

lol seriously you're lookin god man.

SC

**superhombre2k** · 02-19-2007, 02:54 PM

I took a few more today... I'll probably take some pictures of my wheels on Wednesday when I do legs. I may take a video of me squatting too because it's such a boost to see triple plates :-D and hear them clanging! :-D

I love bulking but I can't wait to start cutting in mid/late April. I know how thick my back is and I can't wait to see it shredded, and I know there's some serious cuts in my abs.

**FitIs** · 02-19-2007, 04:30 PM

Projection Muscle. This is a good thread. I like the reel to reel effect. Good job!

**IRISH23** · 02-19-2007, 08:02 PM

hey man looking good! nice side burns too, they're almost as nice as mine, but not quite haha i know how you feel i was 210 and very flabby, and want to get back to that weight, but not flabby but built. plus i did enjoy feeling so heavy, i just want to be healthy and heavy haha

Irish man,

At 5' 6" there is no way you need to way a pound over 200.
Just looking at your 180 pics along with superhombre.
You guys need to build some muscle an lose fat.
Don't be so concerned about the scale, work with the mirror and how you feel.
If you feel fat and flabby it's because you are fat/flabby.

you're looking pretty thick man... don't expect to weight over 180 cut though... depending on how low you go.

you can also get an idea by taking the weight of a person and dividing it by the height to get a general idea of weight per inch. Although people are bigger and smaller in certain areas.

**Bezoar** · 02-19-2007, 10:03 PM

Ya my goal for the summer is to be 200 lb cut. I'm up to 186 cut right now, probably around 10% bf but it'd be nice to get lower than that. The lower part of my stomach has a time amount of fat which i'd like to disappear. Anyways good job man you're lookin pretty big. Now just cut and u'll be lookin sick.

**superhombre2k** · 02-20-2007, 03:03 AM

I'm really seeing the gains on my current training and diet program and I think it's safe to say another 2 months will have me up to 210. I know weight is a just number and something for me to gauge week to week progress by. I look at the big picture in the mirror only though. I can't wait to get in and do legs on Wednesday!

**Mike71** · 02-20-2007, 06:42 AM

You look good, solid and massive. It's time to cut now, I'd say... and yes, sideburns also look nice, retro though

**cookie_monster** · 02-20-2007, 06:52 AM

You look pretty good. IMO, if you dropped about 10 - 15lbs of fat you'd be pretty ripped for the summer. Keep doing what you're doing. It obviously works well for you.

**hulkinout** · 02-20-2007, 07:34 AM

Good work. Your back is especially impressive. Keep it up.

**superhombre2k** · 02-21-2007, 02:56 PM

I've always thought my biceps could use more work, but I am reluctant to do anything with particular emphasis on the brachialis because my forearms are pretty beefy there and I have Popeye from some angles. I do chins, overhand bent over rows, dumbbell rows, and alternating DB curls on my pull days.

**superhombre2k** · 02-21-2007, 03:56 PM

My split is on the first page. Would you add anything?

**superhombre2k** · 02-21-2007, 04:36 PM

I just got back from my squat day and I'm here to deliver pictures as promised!

I was hoping the side lunge shot would come out better, but my hams aren't looking as big as they usually do there. I like my hams and calves, but I think I could stand to beef up my quads some more. I have a problem with my knees, patellar chondromalacia, so I keep it to squat and front squat only. Something like leg extensions would probably cause my knees to rip apart.

**acetylator** · 02-21-2007, 04:40 PM

how tall are you?

Just keep working at it & you'll get ripped soon enough. A few more months of hard work & you'll be ripped & lean. But you look great so far.
