Hey guys so I'm gona log my whole road to my second comp and second try at taking the INBA Mr.LA I got 3rd last year and competed at 205 will post pics from that comp I had never done a off season diet before this year my diet was done by IFBB pro Alex azarian and I have to say it worked wonders I have always put muscle on really easy so this sent it over the top I weigh a lean 260 bf% at like 10% measurements: arms 21in / legs 30in / chest 55in / waist 34in. I have been lifting for 4.5 years now and I am 6ft2-3in tall and I have tried every kind of training there is and I have got a mix of them per say that works best for me but all critique and recommendations are very welcome I am not one to think I have it perfect and I know to learn from people who have been in it far longer then me

Insane pump?
LOL bro I would guess at least that bro1
Hella workouts bro.
From a kinetics/phsyo point of view I hate leg extensions. Have you considered front squats as a replacement? Leg extensions are so terrible for your patellas.
 
Looking really good Nathaniel. Some of those weights are straight beast bro. I am impressed sir. Carry on.

That's the great thing about training partners they help you push past what you may have thought your limits were. Man I got to get one of those. looking good bro!
 
Bro may I ask how come you dont like Ft Squats?
 
Oh ok. Hear you on the shoulder part.
 
Yah it's not comfortable but if I really cared about comfort I would have never chosen bodybuilding as a life style

How do you hold it? Crossed arms resting on delts mostly or in the clean position? I tried it the first cause thats how i saw it down in all the magazines and youtube vids,etc. But i find the clean position to be good just sometimes tight on the wrists.

From My Droid MoFo!
 
Well crossed arms I know it's wrong but my writs physically can't stretch far enough for the clean position so idk


Go Heavy Or Go Home
 
You might try this bro.

Grab the bar overhand like your gonna curl it. You can try hands close in or out just past your shoulders.
Then get the bar on your front delts.
This works pretty well for me.
I dont like the crossed arm position as I alwasy feel like Im gonna drop the dam thing.
This feels secure and mostly comfortable for me.
Try it and let me know.

Do back squats hurt your knees bro?

Looking awesome bro. Def going to be keeping my eye on this. Nice to see a taller guy packing on the size and some serious strength as it is much harder for us tall guys! Loads of talent and a very bright future for you.
