Yes! I was wondering if you were planning a show Bob. This is great to hear and you look excellent at 4 weeks out. Best of luck and I'll be following.

[The_Animal11]

From the looks of those pics, I was pretty confident you had something planned for this fall.

Looking very good. Things are certainly coming along for you. I'll definitely be following.

Yes. Chris Lawrence who won his pro-card with Jason, and the head trainer of my gym who recommended this show (he did it the last two years) Jack Sullivan. I get in there when they are around usually on the weekends and they take pictures for me, unless Matty is there to do so on Saturday's.

macro's? routine?

Calories average around 2100 right now, and am doing 3 cardio sessions a week (2 HIIT and 1 LISS, no Post-Workout Cardio)

Routine -- Lyle's Generic Bulking. Upper/Lower 4x a week.

[co1e_train]

There is no doubt in my mind, you will finish stronger!!

[devo09]

[ErickStevens]

Squatting BW x 2 at a month out? Strong.

[AllGenetix]

Bob, you've always given your support to many others on this board. You're opinions have always been directed to see the other person improve and become better in this sport.

It's HIGH time we throw our support behind you!

Get used to it, buddy!

I've been following your logs for over a year now and your dedication to bodybuilding is an inspiration! You never called it quits despite the bumps in the road life threw at you.

Thanks!

[Blazed]

I have been following your progress for almost a year and a half. You have made Leaps and bounds. Now that you are dieting down the hard work is clearly showing. Even since you visited in November for world's you look like a new bob. Killin it son.

[bhman6]

4 Weeks out

There was no other shows around the time or area I live and figured this would be my best and only shot since I have been dieting since April, and 6 months is a long time to put your metabolism in the gutter.

there is a INBF show on Sept. 25th in Youngstown, OH, the NPC Natural Northern is Oct 2nd. in Lakewood, there is an NPC natural show in Pitt on the 9th (I believe)....you should consider these as well...might as well rack up a ton of stage time for your efforts

[journey2swole]

Your definitely looking shredded here, Bob. Four more weeks of prep should have you in awesome form. Keep hittin it hard and hope you achieve everything you want to here. Definitely subbed up here to follow along in your epic journey.

unaware lyles bulk routine had dropsets and advanced intensity techniques, how are you monitoring recovery?

The Natural Northern would be a great show to hit, if he wants to hold diet for another 2 weeks or so. Its up to Bob.

[scoobysnacks]

weve worked on that side chest. Recall you need to spin a bit more up top, open up to the judges, so we can see that back pec. This will make you appear wider up top, you are too sides on. Pull the shoulder nearest the camera back a bit more to elongate the pec closest tot he camera to make it appear bigger as well.

Couple shots you are grimacing still. Try to flex without burying your chin into your chest, but still smile, easier said than done, but be aware of it.

MM, keep legs flexed at all times and flex the abs, there are more abs there than you are showing. This will be a mind muscle thing for you since you really have never seen them. Gotta work on this hard these next three weeks.

RDB, you have your glutes up in the air still. This is why I want posing trunks on you from now on. You have to uptilt the pelvis, to clench down on the glutes, and make them tight. By putting glutes up in the air they will appear smooth evne if striated.

Few things we can work on.

Looking good brother, but you know, Im proud of you so far. Keep plugging.

Chill out mate, you are always trying to bust balls.

Lyle's routine can be worked in conjunction with anything.
Linear fashion as is most often prescribed.
Daily undulating periodisation.
You can pyramid your sets.
Use myo-reps.
Use drop sets.
You could even use 5/3/1 or RTS principles if you want to.
All it is in an upper/lower split .

[wrkoutfrq]

in for this as well! looking great man, once you get the posing down you're gonna do really well!

[kconnell]

In & Subbed!

Lookin good Bob - VERY nice definition on your back and legs!

Please outline your routine and diet for us to follow.

Agreed, also it gets me in and out of the gym quicker. I don't need as much volume on leg days due to the amount of cardio + NEPA i get in a given week/day. I prefer to keep workouts 30-45 minutes tops.

Please outline your routine and diet for us to follow.

Diet is around 2100 calories (2200 Workout days/2000 Non) I vary my foods on a daily basis..
