Got my Sh$* together and got with Shelby

[tflexxin]

After an excellent off-season but lack luster contest showing this past summer, I finally have teamed up with someone I feel will help me to achieve the type of size, and eventually condition, that I need to excel... I was always impressed by Shelby's comments on both this and other boards. His comments were always positive, and when critiquing physiques, he offered honest opinions.

I am in the third week now of Shelby's off-season program he designed for me. My concern with previous diets I have used were that I never felt like I ate enough food. NOT a problem this time around, getting all this food into my face is a workout in itself. My progress so far has been the most dramatic increase in a short period of time (with the exception of the post contest rebound) that I have ever experienced. My bodyweight has soared, almost 13lbs in a less that 3 weeks, while my bodyfat has not risen any appreciable amount. NOTE: Yes naysayers, I know it's not possible to put on 13lbs of muscle in 2 weeks, it's water weight too, but that water helps the joints, makes me stronger, and assists in lean muscle gains as well....

Anyhow, the point of the post was not really to kiss some Troponin Ass, but really just to show that this whole game we play takes time, trial and error, but eventually you find the right formula that works for you.... I'm happy to have Shelby in my corner and look forward to my best off-season ever!
300, here I come!!!!

Good for you...I have seen some photos of Shelby's clients transformations and they are nothing short of absolutely amazing. His knowledge of all aspects of bodybuilding is top notch. Good luck to you

I beleive you. Over 30 lbs in 4 weeks is not unrealistic, with min fat gain. It really is about finding the right formula.

 

[pesty4077]

Looking foward to your progress. I am sure Shelby will bring you in the show in great shape.

I was also pretty amazed at Shelby's progress this year, from an crazy inside-out shredded weltereight, to a shredded lightheavy, to now 218-220 with his glutes still in condition. Damn you Shelby!!! LOL

motivating to us that he shares it with everyone too. His journey was impressive

Damn bro, 30lbs? Maybe from 170 to 200. But from 280-310? Don't know if I could breathe!!!

 

[Shelby]

You have a TON of potential, T - I look forward to seeing what we'll accomplish together in 2010.

Agreed, more like 200 to 235. Very hard to breathe. I couldn't image the amount of food it would take at 280.

2 meals a day and one shake...

Good choice going with Shelby. Guy certainly knows what he's doing.....like you said, look at what he's done in a years time.

Best of luck this offseason bro...Shelby will take you far

Anxious to watch your progress...were you working with Tim previously?

 

[Iceman1800]

you won't be disappointed, just do as your told

Yes. We parted ways after Southern States. Tim is a quality coach, and I worked with him for 2 years and made a lot of progress. But time comes to try new things, and shake things up. I have always been impressed by Shelby's nutritional knowledge, and so far, everything is amazing!
