8 Weeks Out from the MuscleMania Canada Show

[sweed]

Hey bro, yeh i could only imagen what it would be like to be a tall bber. Im talking about bber's that are 6foot+ . The ideal hieght for a bber is anywhere from 5'8-5'11, then you have guys like me who are 5'6-5'7 who can still do well, but can get over looked alot by the judges cause we are shorter.. Yes it is a bit easier for shorter bbers to pack on the size. Looks like you have great back development from what i can see, so keep it up bro! It may take you alittle more time to get to the size you want, but it will come in due time..

thanks bro, but my back is probably my weak point and i have already started to change my workouts for it ( i got high lats etc) . i got a great 2nd stack comin up so loook out. i hope u hang out on here more often so i can talk with u about what u do.
even tho i am a taller guy i am still going to try to achieve the most i can with my time and money even tho i dont intend to go further , but just for fun. you on the other hand have great genetics and time, i wish the best for you , keep us updated !

Thanks bro, a good exercise for people who have high lats. Is reverse grip barbell rows, along with deadlifts as well. And i will make sure to keep you all updated, this morning i weighed 175lbs.. Still 3 weeks 4 days to go till the show. Im getting kind of nervous since its my 1st show, and it such a big show!. Being aird on TSN and ESPN. So there's even more pressure.. I do my best, will most likely come in as a middlewieght..

Ok here's one pic of me taken back on Aug 22nd so that would be at about 6 weeks out.. I was posing my legs wrong in this, plus the shade is blocking the cuts on my legs.. My glutes are tighter now and legs look better then they do in this pic.. Again these pics taken outside are taken after my cardio session when im depleted and flat..

very solid physique bro, especially for 23 years old, damn...
I thought you looked a little soft in the first pics for 8 weeks(my 8 week out pics are posted here too, and my trainer thought i was still soft for 8 weeks), but the pics with the pump make you look a lot harder

Thanks bro, you look great, good flow and symmetry to your physique.. Yeh my 8 week out pics, and even my 6 week out pics. Im soft in them, Its my 1st time getting ready for a show, so its more trail and error i guess. I just look forward to next year.. Another mistake i made was getting way to fat in the offseason. I was up to 240lbs, so you can see how much weight i had to lose! And that's why even at 8 weeks out i was still behind in my diet... It will be down to the wire for me trying to get in the best condition i can with the time left that i have..

What do you think is a good offseason weight for guys our size to bulk?

It looks like you pretty much should come in on time, you look around where I did at 8 weeks last time, and I ended up coming in leaner than anyone else. I actually have a top trainer this time, and she has different standards though.
I was in the same boat too, started at 260lbs, down to 212lbs now, and still not sure how much I have left to go. Next time it'll be nice having a trainer design my offseason diet too so I dont have to drop so much weight next time.
How long did it take you to drop from 240lbs to where you are at now?

Well i want to compete at around 185lbs next year if possible. So that would mean i would maybe get 15-20lbs heavier then my contest weight. So i would get up to around 205lbs this time.. Reason being is that my sponsor, wants me to stay pretty lean year round so i am available for more photo shoots etc.... I had to pass up so many opportunities with photo/fitness model shoots. Because i was way to fat last offseason.. This way if i only get 15lbs or so heavier, i can drop that weight pretty quick and get ready for a shoot etc.. Plus then it wont be so hard when it comes to my next contest prep.. On average you would want to get anywhere from 15-30lbs heavier then your contest weight for offseason.. Going up past 40-60lbs is just not necessary. I mean u are just basically getting over weight and fat when u get 40-60lbs over your contest weight..
