10 weeks out???

[tenny]

Alright, stop being so hard on your back Tenny! It looks pretty damn good, you just have some freaky arms on you! Could your back be wider, bigger, and better, well yeah...I am in the same boat. But, looks damn good to me. Overall, you have a top notch physique bro, stop hiding it

your right bro

it is what it is

but

I WILL CONTINUE to DESTROY the mutha fucka

 

[pesty4077]

Well, I am not surprized, you look great. These noobies need to shut up more and listen to some of your wisdom.

These pics should be in a sticky so everytime some noobie kid gets pissed at you for being honest with them, they can be directed here. Awesome Tenny. Thanks for posting them, and good luck Bro. You look great and your years in the sport are apparent. Now keep hammering that back and kick some ass on stage.

I can't say anything bad, you look great. I am sure you already know to bring up your back and your chest thickness.

I remember you saying the NA's are out of my league. If you are doing them also I am going to give you a run for your money. Good luck.. After seeing B-Boy at the Jrs I also take no credit in what he said about me. Thanx for the insperation to work harder and see you all in the first call out. I am no longer putting progress pics on this forum.

I wonder if your arms, being such a strong point, sometimes take over during your back training?

I assume you're using straps? How about a hook (thumbless) grip?

you bastard!!!!!

 

[DOGGCRAPP]

Lower lat thickness is awesome....and i think this is where all the deadlifts are paying off bigtime

 

[tenny]

Lower lat thickness is awesome....and i think this is where all the deadlifts are paying off bigtime

i'll agree with that
its always been thick down there
to the point where the xmas tree
is almost nonexsistant

Not an expert on this but maybe just a thought. Remember flex saying he doesnt have a perfect physique but he presents what he has perfectly? I think it was flex that said it. Maybe ajdusting your pose would give it the pop your looking for. but hey look at it like this as far as total physique package your at the top on a board with some really elite guys.

 

[DOGGCRAPP]

Its too late now because your dieting down for your show but if it was my opinion....two things jump out to me right away

1) I would forgo the deadlifts for the time being or maybe rack deadlift with an overhand grip for awhile with a 4 second negative....Im just of the mindset that, if you have been doing deads this long and i saw the poundages you use.....that should transform anyone......but if all this time and effort they arent paying off huge dividends.....I'd turn you into a T-bar row maniac with a barbell in corner with (maybe even thumbless grip but with straps so biceps cant take over).....and I would contemplate doing 1.5's

which is

full rep down into the full stretch, pull up into midsection, go down 1/3 of the way (maybe 8 inches) pull up into midsection again....then down to the full stretch = one rep (or 1.5's as i call them)....emphasis up top is chest out, elbows back for maybe a pause....and i would probably rest pause that out for 15-20 reps

2) I would rack chin the daylights out.....with a comfortable but wide grip---again thumbless with straps if possible--and there would be a 2 second pause in the deepest stretch possible before pulling up to the bar on every rep....i'd do this for 20 reps rest paused and make you keep at it until you did it with a 150 to 200 pound barbell in your lap....i dont know how your lats could not change from that.

Either way great physique

got to watch the thumbless grip though on lat exercises...if it doesnt feel right bicep wise---forgo it---for some people it can kind of put their biceps in a precarious position injury wise with form...especially on chinning exercises

Watch how Shelby poses his hams...........he smashes them against his other leg to bring them out..........but you need to relax the hamstring that is being pressed against the other leg.
