3 weeks to go

[Shelby]

Not a whole lot leaner than last week, but that was kind of the plan... currently filling out with few high days (so I'm full, but also a little more watery than normal) to get ready for the final push.

Bodyweight was 195 this morning.

you look great, but inparticularly your back looks awesome!

 

[mass_chaos]

Your back is Thick as HELL!! Keep dialing it in man!!!

 

[alecaf]

man you are really amazing at prepping. Looking lean as hell, big as hell, and that back is just insane now. good job.

 

[BigRick722]

It sounds like there is a bit of an echo in here but, Your back is phenomenal. I would kill for that rear double bi. Legs also look great. Dont think you need any real advice. Just here for moral support. You clearly know what you are doing so just keep at it and goodluck I am sure you will do great.

If you didn't have your glasses on, I probally wouldn't reconize you, even your face has lean out alot. All kidding aside, a great improvement from last show, well done Shelby!

 

[RONJON]

DAMN SHELBY!!! Sick ass separation..WAY WAY better than last set of pics...WOW

 

[Shelby]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the positive feedback.

To be honest, I've been kind of a headcase the last couple days.. not really happy with where I'm at conditioning wise or size-wise, even though I'm light years ahead of where I've been in the past.
I guess it's just that point in the prep... I just need to lock down and get thru it, then back to growing.

great job man, back is thick!

 

[lynx]

You've done a great job so far. How much more do you anticipate losing?

 

[marilyn]

Shelby

looking good, love front and back development.

 

[hotttsauce]

You are on such great track Shelby and thanks for keeping us updated on your progress.

Dude, your back is crazy thick, very impressive!

 

[Shelby]

you should hang in there for the jr nats, you would do well.

There's a slight possibility of that happening... I'll play it by ear. On one hand I really like doing that show and it would give me another 6 weeks to dial things in, but on the other hand I have so much more I want to improve before I get on a national stage again...

You've done a great job so far. How much more do you anticipate losing?

Probably another 2, maybe 3 pounds of fat, then whatever I drop in water. I've been consulting with Justin Harris periodically throughout this prep, and this weekend he said I might end up as high as 191 to 193... but depending on how much I dry out I could see myself ending up around 187-188 too.


Thanks everyone else for the positive comments as well. As a competitive athlete I'm pretty hard on myself and tend to focus only on what I need to improve.. so it's nice to hear the good stuff too.
