Mid diet pics

[xjpx]

Hey guys, I haven't chucked up any pics in a while. As many know, under Dr Scott Stevensons fantastic guidance, I pushed up hard this offseason, in the pursuit to become a legit sure heavy ( at 5ft 5.5)

Anywhoo, here I am at 243.2 in these pics, I'd say I just about put myself into super heavy class. I am really v happy with the improvements I have managed to make under Scott's guidance. I feel I'm another year away from being where I want to be, which is 235 onstage peeeled to the bone.

We are pushing on with he diet ATM, still a gd chunk to come off, il keep you guys updated.

Thanks for the kind words and support I always get on here

Are you dieting all the way to 235 to see where you are at then before adding the food back in?

It seems like you are plenty lean go either direction (either dieting all the way down, or putting weight back on)

In either case, you have got to feel better 40 lbs lighter!

I defo have more then 8 pounds to come off, I'd say to be super peeeld it's closer to 20 pounds, I'm shooting to get in real gd condition, then see where we are at. I do feel gd, but I was fine heavy, I just crack on regardless, my bloods and health are always on point

You going to step on stage for the hell of it? Sometimes I feel like it's a "waste" to get that peeled only to start packing it on again .

Do you plan on blowing up again when you start to add the food or stay lean while adding your mass?

do you have a show in mind?

We will see , I think next offseason I need to keep my waist under better control, I don't need to chase that 300 pound mark I was obsessed with, I really force fed in last offseason, which wasnt the plan, but I'm stubborn ...lesson learnt there. I feel I'm utilising food better now, and recovery is the best it's been. Scott is working on a new training plan, fortitude training, which I'm very excited about, so offseason will be cracking on with that

[VOXpol]

WOW. Impressive is an understatement!

 

[Michaelthomasj]

Holy shit brother, and as a few have already said; I too, remember you from a couple years ago. You have completely morphed into a serious super heavy, and i cannot wait to see you peeled. Best of luck to you.

This board is truely fucking amazing, and has some really awsome, talented, and knowledgeable athletes. Think about it; in the last few years ive seen what 4 or 5 people turn pro, and others on their way. its crazy

 

[Ironman2010]

Legs have come up again massively bro, especially the glute and ham area, a lot tighter! I hope i can see you in person next time you compete!

Thank you for the kind words . The two mistakes I made this year in offseason certainly cost me more muscle. Over eating/over whelming my body with food. And letting my rep ranges creep too low. I LOVE lifting in the 5-7 rep range. I think I need to be stricter and keep my rep ranges 8-15. I blame this on my gf and the PL work she has to do lol. Both these things Scott tried to keep me away from doing lol, but as I said I'm pretty stubborn and need to learn through a few mistakes too . So this next offseason I am really v excited about, the goal is no injuries, keeping cardio in whole way through offseason, being even more metaciluous with food rotation and my ensuring my digestion doesnt become compromised ( my Gut is defo more sensitive this year) , grow some calves LOL.
