[GerryT]

Some photos taken yesterday morning weighing 237. 5 weeks from Atlantic States in NYC, then Jr Nats 2 weeks later. Should do some damage.

Looking confident in this hand on hip shot.

And a relaxed shot.

GREAT overall development (and I don't say that too often). Is it just me, or is your right arm more than an inch bigger then your left? Are you 5'4-5'5? My guess is you'll enter the contest at 208 to 210lbs? Good luck buddy.

Told Chris about the forum and will probably post something soon.
You're right about the left bicep being smaller. He injured it last year and needed surgery to repair a tear in the muscle.

Actually Chris is 5'10". Check out http://www.chriscroce.com
for his bio and some 2002 photos. The improvements made in 2 years is super. Hopes to hit Jr National stage around 220. But mirror is more important than scale (except at weigh in).

At 5'10 he looks way bigger than 237. When a guy who is fairly tall looks short, they are pretty huge. I saw a guy on Worlds Strongest mothafukers, er, I mean Man and he looked to be about 5'8. He was really 6'2 280 and lean as hell. This was around 99'-00'. When I'm thin, people tell me I look tall and when I'm big, they say I look stocky(I'm 6'2).

Chris is having problems posting, but he told me that site info was incorrect about height. He is really 5'8".

And he says thanks for your comments. He expects to be around 220 for Jr Nats.

|--[\\\\]>--------- MY OPINION: he looks great from all angles. he is very esthetic, thin waist, good sweep on the quads, shoulders are full, the only thing i could say is, he needs to bring the biceps up (they were injured like you said) and more work on the lats. He has a nice V taper, but maybe more width.

 

[GerryT]

Thanks, bigbad. Agree about the lat width and it is something Chris is working on, along with biceps.

Jason and I just spoke to Chris last night.

He also emailed me these pics. He is looking better every week.

He should do some damage.

Lookin' great, but are you really four and half years out from a show? No matter, best of luck.
