Remember I have not touched a weight in 4 weeks, well legs, but only with 65% of my normal rep weight. Also look at how much smaller my right arm has gotten since being up in that damn sling for so long.

Dude,

You look freakin' amazing, let alone not training for 4 weeks. Incredible!

Since hurting my arm I have finally started to really concentrate on hams, and making them better. Before I did them like every other annoying muscle (just get them over with)lol

here is a pic of my quads from the front. I am going to try and dig of one from teen nats to show you how bad the infection killed my legs in the first place, and to show what I have come back from.

here is one from last year at teen nats. Look at my legs. By the way the guy right to the left of me in the blue trunks beat me. WONDER WHY? I mean look at him..It was obvious that they were judging on legs that day becuse he had no upper body (about the same as my girlfriend, no shit, but he did have good quads the pic does his quads no justice)

Man, don't compete with your trainer. He'll kick your ass.

Here is the pec where is detached. There was not really much blood and what is left is yellow. Where all the bunched up skin is, is where the muscle pulled away from so my pec is not in the corner anymore.

hey good thing for muscle memory, you will be back in no time...

It sounds like you're taking control of the situation, weight77. Jeez I know it sucks - but you're not letting it get you down, or derail your life plans. As simple as it sounds, that's fuckin' tremendous.

I broke my hand 8 years ago, doing some kickboxing. Man, I thought I was gonna shrivel up and die. Couldn't box, couldn't lift like I wanted to. But in reality, it was only six weeks, and I was good as new. There's something to be said for keeping things in perspective.

Anyhow, good luck and never quit.

Yeah, I think you're right. That's Brian Hoydic. Not many guys who look as thick as he does, at his height.

Good photos:

Yeah, it is hoydic, or actually it was hoydic. I met him at my first show. I came off stage and he came up to me and just started talking, he then asked what my plans were and I told him I was going to do teen nats. He asked who helped me get ready for the last show, I told him nobody, and he was like shit I will help you for teen nats, for free. He works with Palumbo so he just passed all that info from him down to me. Anyway, we had a plan to meet at the Sherton hotel in Pitt for the show, well he showed up like 6 hours late, he forgot to bring me any diruetic, and I was just a big ball of stress after I heard that. Anyway, after the show I walked off stage (pissed) and we said a few things and I said I'll call ya in 6 months, but I think we both knew we would never talk again. But he is a very cool guy, and very very laid back. Also those pictures were from last year, he has made some real improvements. That little fucker gets big as hell in the offseason. He is doing junior nats next month.
