Offseason updated pictures-chris250

[chris250]

Here are a few of my most recent pics...Im thinking of doing a show in June or July...not sure which, but that would put me at 12 or 15 weeks out as of this past weekend.

weight is 246-248lbs, started a cleaner diet this past few weeks. Starting weight was about 252-254lbs. Im very strong (for me) right now, and not sure if I want to start an all out diet for a show. Might just wait until the fall and continue to try to build on this growth and strengh phase.

the plan I have, for contest. is doing a keto diet like I did in 2009 when magnum trained me. I got into great shape (prob my best shape) and held on to all my mass. Just mistimed my last couple days on carb up, and just wasnt prepared for all the hustle that goes on at a big national level show.

back is still a weak point, so I know that would that would kill me in a bigger national level show. but its improving, and I think my size now, is close to my best...

thank you for all the support....

Here are some pictures from my previous show back in novemeber. this was the night before after my first coat of tan on me...I was around 224-225lbs here...

also to note, I was suffering some horriable elbow pain for this whole prep. I do think it made a difference in my upper chest, arms and delt thickness. I was at the point I could only do flat dumbell presses with 90lbs for about 15-20 reps...and that was killing my elbow...any type of pressing movement really killed my elbow..now im doing 150lbs flat dumbell presses for 7-8 reps, and overhead smythe front presses with 360lbs on the smythe machine...for 13-14 reps...so I do think it affected my thickness and density...

You look good as always Chris. I know you've said nailing conditioning has been tough for you in the past. Are you going to do your own prep based on your success from Magnum, or will you hire a trainer at some point?

Looking good Chris! Was 2009 when you did IRON MAN MAG? I think that is your best state of prep. Do you?

yes 2009 with magnum was prob best prep, but last few days I wasnt prepared for the hustle of nationals and didnt do it right. So I was flat....

2006 with trop was good, caus I was full and pretty lean, but dry to...Conn. USA show up in Chicago I won heavyweights...also that year I did the ironman (on my own) and won heavyweights, with slightly better conditioning, but but flatter...
