You look like you have a lot going for you. You're pretty balanced. I'd diet down and don't worry about the scale. Just get shredded. You'll do well in whatever class you wind up in. If anything, you should bring up the thickness of your back and hamstrings. Looking good though.

Thanks Big Dave and im not so much worried about the scale as I am about overall size and I dont seem to put on as much muscle if im lean. My goal is to move up into the LHW class where i can be more competitive at my hight. And thanks again for the complements

Your making awesome gains bro. Keep doing what your doing.

Your still very lean. Around %10 if not a tad less. Impressive for offseason

very thick!!!
can't wait to see how you look like at 176!

You look great, bodyfat is right where it should be for off season.

tazzie · Feb 4, 2010

I think you look great

at 5'7" and at the top of the middles you should do pretty well, short enough to pack on a lot of muscle at that weight, guys like me who are 5'10" and compete at middles is harder, look a helluva lot smaller than you do at 176

looks like your off season is going well, dont know if you care, but i would suggest working on your delts and over all legs, arms and chest look good

Ive actually laid off my front delts becouse they were over powering my chest... Ive been doing some differnt stuff for my chest as it has been lacking exspecially the upper chest, after seeing these pics it seems to be working.. my chest is nice and full top 2 bottom... so im really happy with progress this far!!!
I work with a coach so I'm sure adjustments will be made.... Thanks for your comments bro

Im very pleassed with all the comments. Becouse I think just like alot of us, I do alot of second guessing and with all the back and forth about offseason bf% and where it should be my head was spinning a lil bit... I'm just a baby in this sport so thanks Bro's

The southern states July 10 so I still have time too put on more muscle, prob start the diet in April.. Ive won my class both times out so i figure it's time to see if i can hang with the best in the state.... So far Ive done the Dexter Jackson Clasic in 08... And the southeastern last year which was a level5
