I'm wondering if you guys can help me address a slight imbalance in my quads? If you look closely, my left teardrop is larger than my right teardrop but my middle/outer right quad is more developed...

Yep, this is correct! The OP should find a way to inform the husband to be. It's a simple favor that may save him a lot of wasted time and pain.

Physique is great, you will do very well! I would check out the posing article in the contest section. Your FDB needs a little work.

I trained at the same gym as Mark for several years and talked with him a few times. More than anything, he is a stand up guy. Incredible bodybuilder, especially if you see him in person. He is also...

lookin good, keep it up!

Like the post below yours noted. There is a demand, but they aren't going to show the Olympia over college football, any other college sport, or professional sport, or texas hold em.

Ummm....Maybe? I never liked the guys who basically do strip shows on stage. I don't think bodybuilding should be a circus. I was thinking more along the lines of shortening the shows. But again, a...

Personally I miss the days when bodybuilding was on ESPN. As a kid in the 90s , I loved watching bodybuilding. Reminded me of American Gladiators!

Two reasons:

Obvious drug use, even more apparent that in past days (80s and 90s). Which is a turn off to most people.

Bodybuilding shows are boring. They take too long and pretty much no one...

I'll see you there!

I think it would be fair to call yourself natural if you haven't taken steroids in 14 years. If it were 1995 or 1996, I might be hesitant, but since this is 2008 I think it is more than fair.

Markus,

You hope to compete at 215-220? Damn, thats heavy. What are you weighing now?

Markus,

It is good to have someone of your caliber here. I look forward to watching your progress as you prepare for the musclemania.

Can't we all just get along.

Anyway, this discussion is funny. Dan is right in that curls are typically performed by bodybuilders. Powerlifters/strongmen have others things to train for.

Basically, you put a bench a few feet in front of and away from a pulley. You use the little one-hand grip things (like on a Bowflex) to slip your foot (feet) through. Set the weight and then lift...

Yea bro. I'll be back on Monday. lets do it

Weighted leg raises with a pulley attached to your feet? haha, i know you remember that one dan

Interesting. But how long is your prep without cardio? Over 16 weeks?

Right on, sounds good. I dieted 12 weeks with a pretty standard competition diet (brown rice, broccoli, chicken, steak, fish, oats, protein shakes, occasional bar). That is pretty much what i ate...

John-

You've had an amazing career. You are a real inspiration. Anyway, i've competed once already and i plan on doing the junior class at the Emerald Cup next spring (natural). Last time i had a...
