there aint nothing amateur about you in those pics... very impressive dude.

[Gear All Year]

I know I am going to get negged for this but your bone structure (wrists) seem too small to hold that kind of mass naturally. That is unless you have been working out for like 15 years.

[user798754651351]

you look good but why the hell did you have to mention "ebony"... why does it matter what color you are?

[housemaster]

no matter..hope it dont sound like im playing the race card..

[housemaster]

no it doesnt..sorry

[Pumpin_Biffa]

I dont mean to hijack your thread as I know how sensitive racial issues can be but if you are black and call yourself black (or ebony), I dont see how that can be seen as playing the race card. I dont have a problem with what you call yourself. Be proud of your ancestry... be it black, white or any shade between. Anyway I hope people dont take offence to my comments.

[housemaster]

none taken from me..i love my color..i just want to stay on message..not start a race war..lol..

[jonathan85]

Only a DumbA$$ would say something like this. Does it matter is the guy takes roids? Does it? The Answer is NO! He didnt post his picto ask weather you think he takes GEAR OR NOT!There is not a poll above his thread to vote on it. He posted his pic seeking positive help! Cause that is what this board is FOR! Man I cant Stand haters! Well anyways dude Congrats on the body! What BF% are you in those pics. Im 6'2 230. How old are you?

If I was you I would keep hitting the lats and legs hard. The judges are starting to crack down on these things. Make sure you really hit your hamstrings all out. It will really help in getting your pro card!

You look on your way to going pro... how old are you? Mid 20s?

[housemaster]

Im am 26 y/o. My body fat is 3 - 5 percent. My height is 5 11 235..My arms are: 19.5 waist: 29 legs: 28.5 calf: 18 chest: 52 (57 expanded)..I appreciate all the comments and yes, i am concentrating on my back and lats as well as all dimensions of my legs.

[colombianofreak]

I think you lats in particular are awesome. I would work on your traps to give your back lots of depth because you have wicked lat spread. I would work on your lower back as well. On your front double biceps I would say to work on your tricep sweep. Your bi's are good. I suggest you do behind the neck military presses when you do shoulders to stress your traps as well to give them some size. I know it's sort of a taboo to do these but chris cormier has done them his whole life and he's still in good shape, just remember to not let the bar go under your ears on the descent portion of the lift. As for lower back thickness there's no replacement for deadlifts. Those should help your traps as well. Johnnie Jackson is a monster deadlifter and his traps are unreal. You could do all these secondary trap exercises on top of your main mass builder which would undoubtably be shrugs with dumbells or a bar while always using straps because the hands give out much sooner than your back. For huge triceps I would say to do close-grip bench presses. Use heavy weight but not too heavy or else you will feel your shoulders and pecs come into play. Dips are excellent as well but always try to maintain an upright position so as to not bring your pecs and shoulders into play again. Overhead extension movements I feel give my long head a great sweep. Remember to not use monster weights with arms, they are relatively small group and do not need tons of poundage; plus elbow injuries suck. Well that's my advices. Good Luck Bro! You are looking killer btw! PEACE!

What I am lifting weight wise varies depending on the time of the year it is. I usually lift quite light for most of the year. I am just starting to go heavy again. The last time I maxed bench was back in 2000 after I got the U.S.S. WASP and that was 405 for two reps...the first no spotter the second with a spot. I usually work out with 315 bench and squat. I have just changed my workout totally though in prep for the contest in October. I am wanting to bring up the quite a few areas so I am incorporating a lot of splits into my training for the next few months. Basically over 3 days I will have trained six muscle groups.

The biggest thing to adding size is time and consistency....along with proper nutrition

Is there a way to add a poll to an existing thread or do I have to start a brand new thread?

[Ironmind10]

Looking great bro! You should try to come up here to NYC and try a upcoming spring or early summer comp. What supplements do you take and when? pm me for exchanging ideas.

[housemaster]

Well, Im focusing on the Sherman Classic in Nov and I take basic supplements, if there is such a thing. Whey Protein(isolate), about to try methoxy pro and Im having someone send me some EAS phosphogain. Thats about it so far.
