Looking MASSIVE, bro. Everything flows pretty well, no glaring weaknesses from what I can see. Keep up the good work, it looks like you have everything pretty well-together.

Looking massive bro, great job. DC is blowing you up like a ballon! Keep at it bro, can't wait to see you dieted down, people better just withdraw from the show.

Great improvements. Keep it up, Bro!

IT'S GREAT YOU ARE HAVE THE HUMILITY TO ADMIT...

THAT YOU HAD A WEAKNESS! LOT OF FELLAS AREN'T ABLE TO ADMIT THAT THEY AREN'T PERFECT. NICE WORK, CHRIS! IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU DIAL IN FOR WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING!

chris250 · Mar 19, 2004

thanks guys,

I will be starting my prep for the North Americans in about 3 weeks (20 weeks out) im hoping to be in the low 240's or high 30's for the show...

Thanks for all the kind words...

Tremendous, Chris. If you're not a pro soon, there is no justice. Keep up the awesome work.

Vander_V · Mar 27, 2004

Gerry T?

he looks good but pro status ? i dont think so , hes also holding alot of water so how could one possibly think this is a good picture , his back is far from being complete gerry T you should evaluate what you see constructive critisism can only help us train harder ,

PHIL HERNON · Mar 27, 2004

Look good Chris

Vander is right. You need to drop 30- 40 pounds to be ripped. Get leaner then take some pics. I love your structure though. Keep improving and pro is not out of the question, but it is a huge uphill battle.

GerryT · Mar 27, 2004

At this juncture and at the weight, he does look tremendous. I have seen improvements Chris has made over the last couple of years and they are noteworthy.

Your point is well taken, Vander. Of course he is nowhere near contest ready now (which I'm sure he already realizes), but when he dials it in he should do really well. And I still see pro status in the future. Not saying this year or even next, but the potential is there. Sincere encouragement also inspires harder training.

chris250 · Mar 30, 2004

Hey thanks guys (Vander,Gerry, and Phil)

Im working on getting lean now...as the North Americans are 22 weeks away...so yeah, I know Im holding water and fat..but I took almost 2 years off to grow...

here are some pics from my contest shape 2 years ago compared to now...

chris

chris250 · Mar 30, 2004

And one from the back...in these pics, when I started to diet for my 2002 show..my offseason weight was about 245- maybe 250...so im guessing 235 to 240 will be my contest weight compared to these pics, when I was 224 and at the contest 220...so im think I have put on a good 15- maybe 20 pounds of muscle...I guess we will just see when it comes to contest time...

chris

Vander_V · Mar 30, 2004

chris you look great

Id say you definetly fat as hell lol, and also lean as a mofo, you got your diet cut out for you , so i take it you dont like the lean 15 to 25 lbs over in the off season couldnt tell just checking ha , no but on a serious note what ever your doing its working extremely well , i gotta give you props cause your one dude who knows how to dial it in. good luck in your up comming shows you should do extremely well Chris .

oh and by the way how old are you? cause its says N/A on profile and did you paint over your tatoos?

chris250 · Mar 30, 2004

Thanks Vander,

Im 29 now....27 when those contest pics where taken...

As for the tats....no the one on my back was done after that show in 2002...

Just got with my precontest trainer...and we changed a few things up (Diet and super supplements) so I should start to see some changes to my body...I will try to get some new pics in a few weeks or so, after I lean up a bit....
