so does this qualify him as an IFBB pro? kinda like winning nationals here in the states?
i don't know about europe in detail, just heard lots of stories from guys who travel there for "bodybuidling purposes"
but here... 500-750 mg test for poor people ... people usually go for cypionate in the offseason at 400-600 mg, but still it isn't a favorite.
gear wise
offseason: a little bit of cypionate, lots of deca, dbol, anadrol, EQ, insulin, GH
contest prep: no test... maybe a little prop here and there, about 300 mg... lots of tren hex, eq, primo, winny, masteron, gh, slin, clen, T3, T4, and ephedrine... they never heard of DNP.
training:
very high volume... hours on end of training. not many people do cardio because of the high volume. light/moderate weights. someone who can bench 315 lbs (that's a lot when you ask ME guys) would go for 225 lbs max when prepping for a contest. 20-30 sets per muscle group 2-3 times per week. focusing mostly on isolation movements. a common practice is to go around all the machines in the gym for a bodypart. mind muscle connection is the most important thing to them. if you have a max barbell curl of 135 lbs, you'd do your sets for that exercise like this
30 lbs x 20
40 lbs x 15
50 lbs x 15
60 lbs x 12
70 lbs x 10
80 lbs x 10
90 lbs x 8
100 lbs x 6
110 lbs x 6
120 lbs x 6
135 lbs x 4
the light sets are really slow, heavy are faster. then you move on to your second exercise
I remember i never seeked help from anyone in the gym cuz i was shy. i used to read read read on the net and forums and shit and got my knowledge from there. when i talked to people i used to think to myself "man, these dudes are stupid... heheh..." now i believe i'm the retard ... all this overtraining crap... i've never seen it here... i've only seen it with naturals, people who use fake gear, and people who have REALLY bad genetics for building muscle.
Diet:
wow... world of difference between here and there... offseason, eat whatever the fuck you want and whenever you're hungry. people really don't care about getting bigger in the offseason, but they just get fat and want to relax. because contest prep is usually 20+ weeks with the first half being "grow as much as lean mass as you can", then the second part is "get shredded as quickly as possible."
protein is around 1 gram per lb of bodyweight (they don't measure it, but they just know that they have to eat chicken, beef, tuna, whey, aminos... etc)... carbs are mostly potatoes and rice. they never eat whole eggs. VERY LOW FAT!!! i'm talking zero here (or as close as they can)... no one ever eats fat when they prepare for a contest.
Big A was right when he said that if you need more than 9 weeks to prep for a contest, you're probably above 20% fat. people here get from fat, out of shape, to shredded in 8 weeks.
americans really try hard to be above 220 lbs... we are the exact opposite... we try to lose 3-5 lbs per week and really don't give a shit if it's muscle or fat, because in 8 weeks you'd be shredded regardless.
the lighter the weight class, the more chances you have to win. and since international contests actually have weight classes (unlike Mr.olympia), you can actually choose your battles. like shahat mabrouk, one day he's 80 kg, then next he's 100+
buselmo is right but i just want to add somthing
i lived in syria (in the middle east) and i knew alot of competitor back then, they were not competing in the world champ but only in arab competition...
all steroid in arab world are pharma grade or vet grade (cheaper) we had all possible brand i mean quality brand schering zambon organon saizen and novonordsik for hgh and its all otc. a syrian champion (hassan el sakka) was on a deca and bold (around 300 mg each) and 16iu pharma grade hgh ed for 2 years and it cost him 20000$ so all anabolic without any androgenic steroid thats why i think this people stay lean and they put pure muscle on them without the bloated look and the big bellys...
i dont think masteron are availble neither is tren because its not imported by minister of health
they do almost everything differently...
i'm probably the only guy in my country that went through this bodybuilding crap the "american" way... and that's why i looked different... not in a good way.
tell a european or middle eastern guy you're on 1500 mg of enanthate 12 weeks out of contest and the only thing you'll hear is "LOL!"

buselmo,the HG GEAR you speak of, is this available OTC in your country? im thinking its products like schering test enan,sust 250,deca 50 ,etc. ? the stan ,boldo that is available there is obviously vet stuff...is that as easy to obtain as just walking into vet supply store and purchasing OTC ? very interesting.

buselmo I want to personally attest (after reading this) that you are indeed a retard. Hope this helps
Just went through the thread with weigh in pics... I´m beyond amazed... all of a sudden most 202 pros look like shit to me...
ok buselmo,
so what would a diet look like for a heavyweight or superheavy competor around 12 weeks out...what changes would they make during the diet...cardio ? is cardio very important or is the volume of work you do in the gym more important, for buring fat ?
thank you

again... bodybuilding isn't rocket science... that's why a lot of the top competitors have the mentality of a two year old (sorry, i didn't mean to hurt anyone, but you gotta give me a break. they aren't the smartest people around)... and people here try to bring things down to an exact science! LOL! i know a guy (huge and shredded) that actually thinks he's eating 500 grams of protein... and tells everyone he eats 500 grams of protein... LOOOOL! turns out he eats 500 grams of chicken.
even if you know what these people eat, most guys on here are gonna over analyze and start to try and tailor it to their weight and what not... well, it won't work that way.
a LOT of people are gonna jump on me for this... A LOT!!! loool... but really... it's not rocket science... eat protein... shoot gear... take your fat burners...
if it aint working.... up all three.... if it aint working... up'em again... if it aint working... go to your dealer and spit in his face or call the cops on him.
