offseason update

[Shelby]

Some pics from this morning.
I've got about 9 weeks left before I start my next precontest diet.

All critiques welcome.

Thick but yet yet lean

Shelby you look great for anytime of the year much less 1 week shy of Thanksgiving. You certainly are thick but also lean. I am looking forward to watching these next 9 weeks to see how you balance the thickness with the leaness. If you continue at the same rate of progress in the next 9 weeks as you have to this point I think you will have a pretty good year.

Off topic and a side note I also appreciate you're excellent sense of humor and you are obviously very well read.

keep training brutal or whatever that saying is.

What show are you doing Shelby.

I have to agree with aeliop, thick yet still lean.

Your jacked brotha!

looking forward to your progress Shelby. Guess no more sushi LOL ! Hope we can hook up and train again when I'm back in town.

Thanks gentlemen.

The next show is my state show, assuming it's the second weekend in May like it normally is.


I like a shorter offseason (9 months between shows this time).

It allows me to stay focused and driven (I don't have any time to waste) and it also prevents me from getting too awfully fat.

Is there any length offseason that can prevent you from getting too awfully ugly?

Back has certainly never been a weak point, but you can really see an increase in lat thickness in the ab and thigh. You're really starting to look round and thick in the shots like that, which is something that always stands out to me as a difference between the top national guys and the top state guys.

You know your stuff Shelby! Looking great.

What show/s are you planning?

 

[betito]

Your upper arm thickness is realy noticeable

My state show (Michigan) is my focus right now. I don't know if I'll be ready for a Jr level national show next year or not... might need to wait until 2010 to give that another shot.



Thanks Trop, Dave, betito.

 

[SABAGOY]

[JETHRO TULL]

You didn't get fat....dedication! More muscle too. Good luck in your show.
