man.....that dont even look like the same person from the back
as two years ago

glad to see you held on to the leg thickness @ 5 weeks out

so many times.... 5, 6 weeks out, bros will start to lose quad sweep
and thickness.....hams look thick and lean.....calves came up
awesome!!!

but....your lower traps at the lat tie-in just blew up
now....you simply, have a compete back
your upper traps lack height, which is just the way its gonna be
but the thickness is REALLY showing
it looks pleasing!!!

keep it up

Hey, shelby you have made noticable improvement all over your physique and its obvious you have put time into actually building a body rather than just going into the offseason like a zombie just eating,eating and trying to push the scale up. Im excessively impressed with your legs especially from the rear, do you do any direct excercises for your glutes hams? you have built seperation in their which alot of bodybuilders dont display, i know bodyfat is a major contributor...but was wondering if theres anything you do specific.

Thanks Tenny, I appreciate that. I've been keeping the cardio intensity low and the training intensity high (haven't really dropped much strength at all) and I think it's paying off.

It's starting to kick in Shebly. Great
progress, big changes; fat loss and
holding on to your gains. Really good.

Thanks bud.

Thanks hilly. I won't post my diet but I will say that I've been reducing carbs every week and they are very low now, and I do a weekly refeed.

Thanks OR. I treat my hams and glutes like any other body part really, making sure I use the muscle (rather than momentum) to move the weight, and also focus on progressive resistance.
I use a lot of different exercises for thighs - leg press, hacks, power squat, sumo press, lying leg curls, seated leg curls, standing leg curls, adductor machine, etc.
I'm a real stickler for form and I think that helps a lot. I think it was Dorian that once said if you can't pause and hold the weight in the contracted position, you didn't use muscle power to get it there.
