12 weeks out

tflexxin · Jul 13, 2008

12 weeks out of my show. I was sweating my ass off posing!! Been on reasonably low carbs for two weeks (300 high days, 60 low). yesterday and today were 100 and 60, so flat, but it is what it is....

Need to work on lower body in rear poses, bending front leg more, but 12 weeks to go so lots of time to work on it.

FYI, I do not weigh myself because it messes with my head TOO much. I'm slightly over 6'0 and last time I weighed myself I was 277. I'm guessing I'm still mid 260's.

looking good and solid. I would start thrashing the shit out of those wheels bro. This will make a huge difference to your overall look and help balance out the upper half. But nice and thick all round.

I've been thrashing the legs for months. being taller, it's going to take me longer to fill those puppies out. I've only competed twice before, but I had a long layoff since last show.
Gains will come in the offseason this year. Time to refine now.

Only two things similar about Frank and I. Both grew up in Canada and I'm also a guy. After that, I see nothing!! LOL.

I've got to live with long arms, so it's going to take me time to make those suckers bigger. This off-season I'll be putting all me effort into that.
For now, getting shredded is mission #1.

I'm doing SouthEastern USA's (Level V National Qualifier) in Orlando in Oct. Seems like a long way away, but 12 weeks yesterday...

You do look like Mcgrath. You've got some big ass arms for sure.

Looking very solid man...only thing i can say is keep hitting hammy's and quad sweep so your legs from the back can match up to your big back...

mrsoul · Jul 14, 2008

I was actually hitting the rear poses wrong with my legs so it detracted from the look. I will update these every two weeks, so if you don't see improvement, call me on it!!!! For me, hammies and glutes are absolute last to go, but I'm 3-5 weeks ahead of my conditioning from last show, so I expect better results.

Next update 7/26

Seriously, this guy will look amazing come show time. That's my prediction.
