6 days out from 1st competition

baam · 06-13-2005, 07:45 AM

Here's 6 days away from first competition this season...

baam · 06-13-2005, 07:49 AM

I just started carb depletion and diuretics yesterday... so the water will peel off later this week...

NIUbodybuilder0 · 06-13-2005, 07:53 AM

Your jacked dude...Good luck in your competition. You should look great once you lose that water

baam · 06-13-2005, 09:39 AM

My trainer is working his magic on me, so hopefully the water will shed off later this week. But we'll see...

tacosupreem · 06-13-2005, 09:44 AM

how old... cycle history?

baam · 06-13-2005, 10:03 AM

My stats are
5'9
258lbs off season
211lbs contest weight

Cycle History:
food (every day right on time whether I want to eat or not)
hard work (never missing a workout, even if I was on my death bed)
sleep (never depriving my body of much needed rest)
determination (never letting other's negativity affect me)
good work ethic (knowing there are others I'm competiting against that have missed their meals, workouts, etc.. and I have stayed strong)
supplements (I have a professional as a trainer, he's lead me the right way)

I don't want this thread to turn into a flaming war over steriods. I am a highly educated adult and fully know all consequences that I may incur with the bodybuilding lifestyle. With that being said, I do not condone or encourage anyone to use steriods, as they are a mere supplement to the bodybuilding core. Hard work and dedication is the root to success.
But I know there will always be people criticizing the sport, and it needs not to be in this thread. I posted these pictures to show progress and to get "constructive criticism" on my body, not on steriods.

Very impressive man.. Your back is insane! Good luck on your competition!

baam · 06-13-2005, 11:50 AM

Thanks. My back is definitely my strong point.

T-Bone28 · 06-13-2005, 12:05 PM

You look great man. I hope you do well in your comp.

What is your training split, and diet like?

baam · 06-13-2005, 12:08 PM

Off-season training is detailed. I'll post a full schedule when I have time. Right now I'm training all body parts in 3 days, due to my upcoming competition. I won't train after tuesday of this week. I promise I'll get back with ya on this though. Thanks for the response.

I think you have an incredible physique. You have truly succeeded in building yourself. I agree, your back is definitely your strong point. Do you have any more pics? Do you have one in the most muscluar pose? How about one showing your glutes, hams, and calves? If I'm forced to nit-pick, I would have to say that you can add a little more overall size to your quads.

Keep us updated on how your competition goes.

Good luck.

baam · 06-13-2005, 12:30 PM

If I wanted to inclose my aas history i would have put it in my original thread.
*Please Note*
The use of AAS is varied in individuals. There is absolutely no point in me posting what I've used, as they may not work for your body. Everyone's receptors are completely different, and will react different to the use of anabolics. On a side note, I work with a professional who has given me valuable advice. I simply chose not to disclose that information. I wish not to be judged by steriod use, but rather by my looks. But for those of you who can't let it go, get out of this thread. If you want info about steriods or aas use, use the search button. Or better yet, e-mail Big Ron. I'm sure he'll gladly dispose the information to you. Then maybe you can take all he has, and be as big as him....

baam · 06-13-2005, 12:32 PM

Thank you for all the replies. I will post more pictures later this week.

ilovemawnie · 06-13-2005, 12:48 PM

your back is very thick, good lucky you look great all around, cant say you have any flaws, awesome work

Mr.Olympia2015 · 06-13-2005, 12:52 PM

good luck
but u have to add mass to your body and i believe there is a lot of
difference between mass and cut period.are u losing to much weight to the ripping period.good luck and i am very happy to see u concentrated

baam · 06-13-2005, 12:56 PM

Yes, I do need more mass. But I think competiting at 210 for my first competition is pretty good, if I do say so myself.

golds123 · 06-13-2005, 12:57 PM

ok erm...i just looked at ur lat spread again and nearlly puked:| lol thts just insane for ur age....gotta be deadin heavy for that thickness....cumon how much r u pullin??

baam · 06-13-2005, 01:02 PM

At my last powerlifting competition i deadlifted 650lbs when I weighed about 240lbs. But most of my lat width is from heavy close grip bent over rows with about 400-500 lbs. and also weighted pull-ups with about 90lbs.

Looks like you're holding some fat and water in your lower abs and quads. At 6 days out you should see more striations and vascularity in your quads. A side chest pose and hamstring shot would be helpful. What diuretic are you running?

Consider different posing trunks. One with a higher cut on the waist. It will help slim your waist and accent your quad swipe.

Good luck with your show and I hope everything comes together. Have fun.

William2003 · 06-13-2005, 01:10 PM

You look in excellent shape especially your back looks amazing.
Good luck.
