Yeah I was thinking the same thing. You look great man, how long have you been hitting the weights? funny pics man.

[ItaliaVincent]

Yeah i would say the upper portion of body is prob my best... Ive been working out seriously about eight months now? Before i was like 270 lbs... Went down to 210 now thinking i should be about 190-195 for some abs to show up . Yeah.. the that one pic of me is funny.. Thanks for the comments :-)

Your arms are good size but thats it. Besides that everything else looks small. You need to do a lot of work on your back if you dont' your never going to have that pro look. Do a lot of pullups. If you work out your back your gonna look a lot bigger. People dont' realize how important back is until they see someone with a nice back.

[ItaliaVincent]

So true... my back is lacking, my intensity when training back lacks big time. I need a good training partner, so if any bodyb uilders in arizona looking for a bitch <-------------- :-D im here. And yes, pulls would be a good thing for me.

[jcaballplaya77]

Looking awesome man. I would say your between 13-15% not 18 by any means. Your upper body looks real good now show us some legs.

[Chadishere]

YO how big are you kid? you look great for 17 dam! Nice work what you bench>/??

[ItaliaVincent]

Legs... hm.... My legs aint so hot but ill get some, i only bench 315 for 1 rep max. I do more of bodybuilding workouts instead of power lifting. When i squat i go shoulder width feet instead of far apart.. U kno what i mean when i say body building lifts instead of power lifting?

[Growin66]

Your MM shot looks great. Traps really stand out.

[Bicep_Man]

you BF looks not much more than mine and im 13%

anyway i think you have some great mass there and when u cut youll look amazing

[P Dub]

Thats the physique i would like to have.

Any tips on your Diet and Routine.

You look great man.

[ROCKHARD10]

Arms look great! what are your measurements?

Best part about widening the back is that it narrows the waist/love handles, which right now need some work.
Your arms/shoulders/chest are starting to look great
Don't let your bulking get out of hand you don't want to be looking fat.

[Dark lord]

hey man this is tommy you know your best friend do you want me to work out with you or what?????


looking great man

your legs barly fit in your pants man cuz so big

[ItaliaVincent]

I think my arms are 17 inches.. My chest and all the other im not sure. I work every body part once a week. I would like to hit them twice a week but i cant seem to find the time. I do high volume sets so about 16-20 sets for back and chest and legs. and for arms and shoulders its usually 12-16 sets. What would u say are best ways to widen the back???????????????? My diet is mostly clean calories one cheat day a week. Im cutting right now actuallly have been for six months but at a slow pace as u can see... only 50 lbs in 6 months. But my strength increased in the six month period. So that tells me i havent lost much lean muscle, and serious amounts of body fat. And tommy get a membership at my gym and u can lift with me .

[secretpro]

hey bro im 17 too, as for widening your back try doing machine pullovers and many lat pulldowns. for depth do deadlift and rows. looking huge.

damn 8 months? awesome ur traps r huge

[ItaliaVincent]

Yeah i do 8 sets of pulldowns 2 diff work outs doing four sets each work out. I need to start doing dead lifts but i go to LA Fitness, and theres like no room...Ill start doing pullovers, i thought they were mainly for widening ur chest. Didnt think they would help my back heh..

[Lord_Nazgul]

I have almost exact build.... what do you do for your arms? bi's/tri's/forearm. Keep up the good work!

[ItaliaVincent]

I almost always superset my bi's//tri's.. That pump is amazingly amazing :-D, I do a set of bi's maybe seated dumbbell curls, then i run over and do some tricep pushdowns. So pretty much a set of biceps and a set of triceps, 4 sets each work out. I dont isolate my forearms.

[JMD]

Your a big guy with lots of potential.Keep up the good work.


LOL @ that last pic I burst out laughing.

[muscledup]

WOW dude you look great got more pics??

[big-man]

wow man u are big. how long u been working out man?

[ItaliaVincent]

Ill make some more pics next time im over at my friend house( he the one with digi cam )... I need some harsh criticizm, on my weak points.. And best workouts for my weak points?? Ill get a pic of my legs ASAP.

[shipyard ale]

back needs to be more define, biceps are lagging behing your shoulders and forearms, lower waist needs work..kinda got that pear shape thing going on, and have no idea about your legs.

[ItaliaVincent]

Whats wrong with my posing. I like criticizm but, explain to me how to fix my flaws :-)

[gamemaximus]
