Kinda watery today... weight was down to 209 on Saturday but bounced up to 216 this morning. Still taking things kind of slow but will ramp up in the coming weeks.

Are you rotating your left shoulder forward on the lat spread?

Are you rotating your left shoulder forward on the lat spread?

I'm doing something funky, I know that for sure It's even more noticeable in the rear lat spread. I need to figure it out and correct it... it's definitely something with my shoulder (mine are messed up, especially left).

Well

It is nothing that will stick out during a show but if you are like I am......a perfectionist..........you will figure it out.........just tweak it a bit

looking good bro, right on schedule! looking foward to seeing you again my friend.

O yea! someone has been blasting the hell out of their arms.... much improved thickness especially in the front bicep and rear double bicep.

 

[kscowboy]

I would be willing to bet that you deadlifted more this year than previous years. Your erectors are the thickest i have seen them on you and your traps are bigger as well.

Looking thick Shelby! Can't wait to meet you!

Thanks Brad.. just trying to catch up a little more to you, my friend. I'll always be in your rear view but I'll do my best to close the gap a bit

Deadlifted about the same as before... it's probably a little bit of everything (consistency, diet, supps, recovery) that's helping. Thanks KS.

Looking thick Shelby! Can't wait to meet you!

Thanks lynx - likewise!

 

[Lenny]

Shelby,
I think you look fantastic at 10 weeks out. Your shape just keeps getting better. So, tell me how much lean mass do you feel you have packed on your body since we last competed together? Over my years of competing I have seen many guys progress and continue to gain quality lean mass as they go up in weight class. You are right there with the best in that area.
Job well done and best of luck at your upcoming show.

Thanks. Yah, I definitely needed to move up a class. Last year I actually competed as a LHW in May, then a welterweight in August and September if you can believe that, then all the way back up to LHW in October and November. I'll stay a LHW from now on, I look much better there.
As for how much stage weight I've gained since we competed together in 2007, I would probably say about 10-15 pounds. I was about 185-187 onstage late last year, and will probably be a bit heavier this year (190?).
What about you? Do you have any competitive plans this year?

Thanks everyone else for the comments as well.
