13 weeks out

[Shelby]

Just under 13 weeks out now. A bit leaner, but weight is actually up a pound or two (220 this morning).

I'm still not pushing the diet too hard - doing 2 high carb days per week, 5 days of cardio (40 minutes each) and having a weekly cheat meal.

All comments and jokes welcome.

Just curious Shelby, what's contributed to the size difference between your arms? Just wondering if you've had some type of injury in the past.

Shelby,

Looking great. I can't wait to see the updated video's as you move along in our prep.

Awesome job!

jokes welcome.

That comment in itself is funny...

You look right on track, Shelby. Do you plan to hit the tanning bed at some stage, or more coats of pro tan will do the trick?

Just curious, how far out do you usually stop having a weekly cheat meal Shelby? Or do you just base that on how you look and feel?

They've always been like that (the left being almost an inch bigger than the right). My right lat is also a bit smaller.
I'm not sure why, really. I broke my right hip in a car accident when I was 16 - maybe that has something to do with it.

Shelby,

Looking great. I can't wait to see the updated video's as you move along in our prep.

Awesome job!

Thank you - I'll try to post more updates as things progress.

I'll start tanning more, then use a bunch of coats of paint before the show.

Just depends on how the prep is going. I usually stop them somewhere between 10 and 6 weeks out.


Thanks for the comments everyone.

Always getting better.

Shelby, Great thickness and no secret how you have attained that. Heavy duty training the meek shall not apply. You are strong enough as a bodybuilder to be a pretty good powerlifter and probably one of the strongest bodybuilders on the board. Every year you keep getting bigger and better. I will be looking forward to you're progess and rooting for you.

Looking very strong for 13 weeks out. Still nice and thick yet your pretty lean. Even without a tan and lots of dieting left you could see the abs coming out in a couple of the poses. Great work and best of luck!

ridiculous stuff bro. Just ditch the scale, forget the weight class. just use that mirror and keep dialing in. Prove this theory true. Im going to do the same, awesome stuff your sharing.

 

[RONJON]

Wow its coming along WELL bro!

 

[juggy38]

good job man.

 

[Designbuilt]

Damn you look THICK!! You've added so much mass this year great Job Shelby!

BTW, The squatting Videos are great! I did some yesterday, I'm at my strongest right now, I know that watcing you squat that good has helped me (I tell myself now if that MF can do it.. Why not me!! )

keep the videos comming, especially the Squat and throw in a few Deadlift ones also. (that's by far my least favorite exercise)

 

[JETHRO TULL]

I am a fan, Shelby.

Keep kicking ass!

 

[Big Dave Smith]

How tall are you? 220lbs is THICK.

Again, always cool to see the progress. The best will be to compare the first video you posted to what you look like on stage.

Great job. Keep it up.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. As a competitor, all I really see is a bunch of weak points.. so it's good to get positive feedback too.

Dave- I'm about 5'6 1/2".

Just tryin' to represent the Lollipop Kids Barbell Club the best I can

I almost gave my screen a shower of the water I just drank. Funny b@$t@rd!
Looks like you are doing a great job, when are you going to start tanning?

 

[hotttsauce]

MY GAWD GO TO THE TANNING BED!

I almost burnt out my retinas!

Looking good Brotha! Nice, Thick and Healthy! Like always, I know you will cut down to onion thin skin!

 

[njpooldude]

its actually kinda scary how similar our bodys are... you look better and are in better shape.. but between your height and body shape.. if i got my diet in check i bet we would look like twins!!

awesome work... big bump for another short and stocky brotha!!
