Comparison

[Shelby]

This first pic is 6 weeks out of Nationals last year, I was about 197 there.
The second pic is 6 weeks out of Jr Nationals this year, and I'm about 205 now.

Not one particular muscle group is over powering to me with your physique. Overall improvement and added mass. I notice a big difference in the mid/lower back.

 

[Azwrkoutcrw]

Damn!

Nice improvements! Your lower back is so much thicker! Rack deads?

 

[njpooldude]

You look bigger in this year pics, but your lower body is tighter in the Nationals pic (from what I can see) just a bit...Your on track though...for a great showing

Thanks. Mostly floor deadlifts, and different row variations.

Yah glutes and lower back were tighter but I'm comfortable with where my conditioning is at this year.

Thanks guys.

 

[lynx]

Definitely thicker this time around.

 

[pesty4077]

You are bigger and that is what you need for a bigger show. Conditioning is right where it should be at 6 weeks out.

Great job Shelby!

 

[PHIL HERNON]

Nice

Right on schedule........nice! WAY better hams and calvs......thicker back...........bigger arms.......

 

[Shelby]

Ditto.

You are in good condition but not as lean
as last year at the same time. Just my
opinion, just my eyeballs.

How do you feel, what do you think Shelby?

I was a bit tighter last year at this point, but I'm still fine this year for 6 weeks out.
In terms of improvements I think everything came up a bit (traps, shoulders, arms, back width and thickness, thighs, calves).

Thanks guys

Lookin good shelby, definitely can see the improvements.

In order of biggest differences.

Hamstrings and Calves improvement are dramatic, looks almost like 2 different people.

Lats appear to be substantially wider.

Rear Delts seem not only larger but slightly more detailed.

Peak on biceps more evident.

Maybe not as lean?????? but you are bigger. At this point (6 weeks) you will get leaner much easier then you will get bigger

Excellent work Shelby, not only an improvement on your previous version but in my opinion a dramatic improvement.

 

[VTliftVT]

You look awesome Shelby. You know it's a good thing when you're heavier, everything looks thicker, nearly as lean, yet your v-taper is far more evident.

What Tony said above, and not worried about your conditioning or leaness it will be on come game time, it always is with you, but keep all of that new muscle mass you added, looks cool Awesome work Shelby!

 

[jalsmiley]

[simeon]

The gains in your back and calves are crazy! Well done.

 

[weight78]

Legs are the biggest difference.
