Well I hit 245

[Shelby]

...so I thought I'd post a pic.

My weight is floating from 245-250 depending on the time of day.

This is the heaviest I've been by quite a bit (last offseason I was around 230) so I'm pretty happy with how things are going. It's only been 9 weeks since I competed, and I probably won't start dieting for another 23 or so.

Nice job, Shelby!

Holy shit! Your arms are almost bigger than your head!

they normally suck but this was after arm training

Amazing what can happen such a short period of time. Proud to have you training.

Looking sick bro!

When you want to diet down, shoot me an email

High volume is the way to go with arms for sure...

NICE work, Shelby. VERY nice.

So, I think I recall reading that the plan is to stabilize your weight and settle in here (or hereabouts) before dialing it in again?...

That's a lot of size, nice and even too... Good job! What do you think contributed most to your progress?

 

[kscowboy]

I'm going to play it by ear. I don't want my body fat to get any higher, but if my body wants to keep growing I'm not going to stop it. I think I'm getting close to the max for this offseason... but I could see adding another 5, maybe even 10 pounds by the end of the year.
My plan right now is to chill out and stabilize a bit for the next couple months, then make another push around November or so.

That's a lot of size, nice and even too... Good job! What do you think contributed most to your progress?

The new training style (thanks to John Meadows) is definitely helping. I think I was undertraining with DC style for so long.
Diet and supplementation are keyed in now too. Calories are pretty high; 5-6,000 calories a day.


Thanks guys.

Awesome work Shelby. Your arms (not to mention the rest of you) are looking sick. It's unbelievable how much size you've put on in such a short amount of time. Seems like you move up a weight class every year. I'll say it again, you are my inspiration. Keep it up Brother.

Nice work Shelby, you look good Bro.

Definitely kicking some ass Shelby...you're growing with easy and staying really lean!

Are you doing a little cardio here and there?

If walking my dogs for 10-15 minutes a day counts as cardio, then yes

They don't really walk though.. they just wander around, sniff and pee.

they just wander around, sniff and pee.

Sounds like me on the weekends

damn Shelby! You are packing it on! (in a good way)

 

[h8tr3d]

wow! You are progressing fast! I would be damn happy if i could progress half as fast as that

By the looks of things you're doing more cardio walking to and from the kitchen!
