I just wanted to give a solid piece of advice to some of the up and comers in the game and also to some that have been in it for a while.
With the recent spate of competitors hitting the stage lately and a bunch more getting ready for up and coming shows one thing that seems to be cropping up in the pics you guys are putting up.................BACK!!
Now this is all constructive criticism and not aimed at any one individual. But so many guys put up pics as they are prepping for shows and the one critique that I and others would definitely pick is the lack of thickness to your backs!! Is this a case of out of sight out of mind? Is it a case of not picking the right exercises to get the job done? Or is it a case of "Well it looks good enough to me" so I will focus on the rest of me, namely arms and shoulders. Guys, place a higher importance on your backs and leave the arms to themselves. It is a thick powerful looking back that will get you over the line more than a big set of pipes! Really spend some of your valuable time and hard efforts on improving this area of your physique. Take a leaf out of some of our recent members here like b-boy (now this man's got a back) Dusty ( another thick, strong looking back) Shelby ( one of the most dilligent guys here and look at his back). Ask any of them how they did it..............Heavy basic movements......deads, rows, chins. I would bet they all had one thing in common............they were religious about back training. Just get some honest critiques of your back poses, get some experienced eyes to really have a good look, do not be afraid of what you might here instead of the usual patronizing "bro you look awesome". Does our very own PHIL buy into the patronizing? No he does not. But at least the man will tell you what he sees and what he does not see!! SO STOP LOOKING AT YOUR DAMNED ARMS ALL THE TIME and get on to what you can't see very much of!!! YOUR BACK!!
I want to close by saying that we have some absolutely incredible talent on this board. We also have some brilliant up and coming stars in the making............take the good advice and knuckle down to the real deal of training. Hard and heavy builds thick dense muscle. Ask any of our guys or some of the top pros how they got there? I wish you all the very best in your pursuits of muscle and the unltimate physique!!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
