    Ripped or not

    Do you think this is ripped enough. These pictures were taken 5 days out from my first show.... I was depleted.

    Hopefully I have managed to attach it correctly - if not aplogies.

    You look ripped enough to me. Great work. What are your stats? Height and weight? Just curious.
    Im not looking to look like ronnie coleman. I want a solid 180lb-200lb, being able to lift more than my bodyweight, and showing pecks, abs, and arms without flexing... After that, ill just cut, build stamina and endurance by running, and just maintain the shape...

    In fact, im pretty happy with how i look right now... Im just having a little trouble with my pecks...

    My first show won, easily the most ripped in show, next couple of times have't quite been able to replicate the hardness, but placed second twice. Its pretty tough being 6' 2" as you need a lot of mass to stand next to a 5' 8" guy.

    Maybe I shoudl do strongman.

    Delts are unbelievable. Lats are wide. Back is thick and ripped. Arms are huge. In the first pic, you have a vein on the back of your arm that runs all the way up to the peak of your left bicep. I don't know that I've ever seen that before. It looks cool, though.

    But those delts are insane. Great job.

    Sorry mate most of em would've gone straight to the gym after seeing your pics. Inspiring stuff. You do look very ripped but we havnt seen anything below the jugs. Stick at body building though, its hard to stick it at your height but when you get back on top you'll be stoked you kept going.
    Life is good
