He's just under 6' and yesterday he was 274 or so.
He's clearly not going to be 100% dialed in for this show, but he came to me too fat. He should be in good enough condition to requalify though, and then we'll have 11 weeks to perfect everything for the USAs.
Agree with your last. Legs have a few weeks to go, and back too thick. BUT WOW. SIZE ALL OVER! 11 Weeks is a ton of time to perfect that package.
nice work...
Lower back and hamstrings have always been his trouble spots. Even when he won the SHW class at the Jr Nationals in 2005, they were soft (see pic).
I'm confident that we'll blow away that conditioning come July though.
As a side note, in the pic below he was 230 pounds. In the current pics, he's over 270.
He does look great and as long as he qualifies in the state show, it would be a very good place to start really sharpening everying up just in time for the USA.
If and when he gets his national qualification, what do you think is weight would be for the USA? My guess is maybe an extra dry 250, what do you think?
Tell him to smile for christ's sake! He looks like an angry apache.
