*Update...couple pics from 7 weeks out

[MAINEVENT]

I usually dont post pics this far out because well.....i dont want the negative comments to screw me up but what the hell. All these guys and gals on here competing and getting ready has really got me motivated.

These pics were taken 8 weeks out....im around 205lbs in these pics. Lots of work to do but thats the fun part.

My focus was on chest and hamstrings. I followed Phil's advice on chest and did only flat presses this offseason....my strength really shot up and it improved a little but i think my chest was meant to suck.

For my hammies did alot more stiff legged deads. hopefully they will look better once i get all the chub off.

This offseason i incorporated alot of what Alex, Shelby and Phil say/do. I tried to stay leaner as far as my bodyfat. I really cut back on my sets and changed the rep ranges weekly. Their advice and posts on here have been a tremendous help....and i would really like to thank them.

Im paranoid....the level of competition here is so high. lol

Also forgot to add

You look much thicker than 205 especially from the back. Your hammies look thick and fantastic, I know how lean you get anyway so your hammies are going to be a show stopper.

Main,

Hey bro, for 8 weeks out you look right on schedule...Very complete, with great (super) conditioning...

It would be cool if you would start a picture/nutrition journal like the old one...Your info from the old one was very helpful in my past shows...

There's no question you'll be in shape - you always nail it.

It's great to see a guy that not only has a great physique, but also has such great character and integrity.

The sport definitely needs more like you.

I second that! And Main's comment on your new avatar too, Sadie, btw...

Seriously, all you guys dieting down are slowly but surely starting to get on my nerves ... each time I'm now opening a new thread in the photos section, it reminds me of how fat I currently am... and how I have zero willpower to do something about it.

Main, I'm jealous of your motivation to do it again!
