[BigPopaPump]

I am starting my prep for the Vancouver Classic and Washington Emerald Cup which are both in April.

Sorry, I'll need to redo back pics.. My best bodypart..

I pretty much know my weak points, and have adjusted my training to combat that. However, this is my first show, so I just needed to hear opinions.

Current Stats

Weight = 235lbs
Height = 6'1
Bodyfat = 10%
Arms = 19.25
Chest = 52
Waist = 32
Quad = 27
Calve = 17

Well at 235 and 10%, that means to lose 14lbs pinds of BF would leave me at 2.2%.. its somethin to shoot for.

Looking good, man. 14 weeks sounds like a good time frame for cutting. Here are two articles that will help you prepare for your contest. The first one is by me, and second one is by Layne (Str8Flexed) Norton. His goes into detail regarding dieting down, practicing your posing, etc:

1. http://www.skippypodar.net/Fitness/c...p-article.html
2. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne36.htm

Give them a read and let us know what you think. With your physique, I would definitely consider competing in the Men's Open category. Novice would be too easy for you.

You look great, man. We're proud of ya!

Emerald Cup? A good friend of mine Chase Dean is going to be competing in the Emerald Cup. Best of luck man.

[PopeGregorius]

Superb physique man, I think anyone here would be proud to look like you.
You might watn to try the "contest prep" section for specific tips.

Thanks for all your support. I have worked my ass off for 6 months of bulk, so its nice to be appreciated. I have pretty much sacrificed the nightlife, the girlfriend, and changed my whole lifestyle to revolve around the goal of winning as many shows as possible this year, so now its time for the really fun part. SHOW IT OFF!!

My bulking workout split was as follows:

Chest
Back
Quads, calves
Delts
Arms
Hamstrings, calves
REST and repeat

With the following diet:

600 carbs
350 protein
50 fat

Largest meals of the day were 3 hours before and 2 hours after workouts. This way I knew i would be using a bulk of my calories for Fuel and Recovery, hence I managed to stay lean. I would taper off my carbs in the last 2 meals of the day, and I would be eating 10 meals a day total. Every 2 hours..

and more supps than the every guy could afford

NO (AMPED)
Creatine
Glutamine
Vitrix
A ton of Vitamins

[William2003]

You have one excellent build and your arms look amazing too.

Keep up the great work.

Are you saying your PWO meal is eaten 2 hours after your workout? Or am I confused?

[flangmasterj]

Looking great man. Quads are perfect.

[BigPopaPump]

Are you saying your PWO meal is eaten 2 hours after your workout? Or am I confused?

Sorry, I was not very clear. I eat a large carb meal 3 hours before, then I have a gatorade mixed with whey 30 mins prior and during my workout. I have 70-80 grams of sugars and 40g whey immediatly after working out. Then I eat a larger carb basd meal 1 1/2 hours later.

I will give a more detailed post later, including supps, vitamins, ETC..

[Big Slim DaDDy]

wow strong arms to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HYP3R]

Damn your big. You look so young in the face. Almost like your face doesn't go with your body. But take that as a compliment bro. That just means you have good genetics. Keep up the good work!

[FlyeOrDie]

I am surprised that I am the first to say so but your chest is lacking.
Particulary your inner chest. Do you do cable crossovers? If not, they are great for the inner chest.
I am most impressed by your arms and quads. I disagree with Built656, your quads are well developed.
Great work, you remind me a lot of myself as I have been gotten very serious in the last 6 months and have made the same lifestyle changes.

[IcyHotNate]

Another oregonian, nice to see you. You look great.
