Ok bros, here are some pics

[Wulfgar]

Bro, check out my back. I swear to you these pictures were taken about a month ago and after taking off nine months from training back -- i.e., these pictures of my back are after I had not trained my back and biceps for approximately 9 months straight. For the last 10 months all I do are the following:
Day one: bench press/incline press/behind neck press
Day two: Squats
Next week same thing. Two days per week training.

You must be doing something counter-productive, bro.
How can I help?

I dunno man
I really just think that since ive really only trained my back hard for a year its just taking some time to bring it up to par. could be my height too?
im just convinced all my years of football training was so based around heavy pressing my lats just fuckin lag

maybe i should have my nueromuscular thereapist work on loosening up the fascia more?

W -- that is a mindblowing transformation! I'd agree w/ the comment on about the back -- but mind you I'm speaking in terms of competition & getting that crazy wide "V" w/ the wild capped delts. That just comes w/ time invested. You've got nice thickness all the way around -- love the hams and I really enjoy your posing!

Love your great input and I feel you on the "sux being tall' when competing too. Its hard to get that size and leanness on a tall guy. I think you wear it well tho!

Sassy- thx so much for all the compliments. Im only 25 so hopefully I can have a pro caliber physique in the next 5 years or so. I like being tall onstage though. I feel it makes me unique and hopefully as my muscles develop more I can really bring an increbile package all around to show everyone that a tall guy other than arnold can have great sucess in the sport and be an inspiration to many!

I agree with the comment about the back. BUT....its is not bad at all and definately not unproportional. Lats could be wider and im sure you will get them that way in no time.
Plainly speaking your back posing suck's, and so is the way you hold your double biceps in the pose. Im willing ot bet if you posed differently no one would be bringing the back up.

Thats my critique. Other than that you look spectacular bro and well on your way to the very top!

Take care brother
MD-

PS: My posing sucks even more, but that doesent mean yours should

I agree, I am a slacker when it comes to practicing my posing..i usually wait till 4 weeks out to start when i should be starting 8 weeks out
I was really considering getting a posing coach for the nationals next year...
i dont really know of any in San Diego though...

and ya...my elbows are up WAAAAY to high on the back double Bi pose...i even told my ex GF to scream @ me from the audience if I did that....thats why shes the EX...lol

Holy crap -you're only 25??? Yep -- you have ALOT of potential...! My only comment is going to be as a big guy, you end up getting bigger & bigger off season in order to get big enough during season. Its great to have a goal of "being pro" or whatever, but its also a life decision that occupies a huge part of your life. Guys I know who have spent most of their lives thru their 30s "getting big", i.e. can't get big enough, spend half their life bloated on insulin or whatever - then the young guys in the gym are all like "DUDE! I WANT TO GET AS BIG AS YOU! WHAT'S YOUR CYCLE??" -- and one friend in particular just tells them "don't make 'getting big' your goal -- the girls don't like it, its a miserable 'off season', and just carrying all that extra weight around won't make your life better as you get older'.

That was just a thought I had in your decision to balance your life going forward vs. your competition goals. Esp as a big guy.

But either way -- its just really cool that you've done so much and present it so nicely! I LOVE when guys wear a pose well on stage!

That is true....honestly up till this point I have made building a balanced physique my goal. I have never used GH or slin and when it comes time I will do it cleanly and in accordance with my methodologies so as to reduce bloat and keep my gains clean.
ive found in the last 2 years in all aspects of my life that balance and enjoyment are the absolute essentials. everything else is secondary. I love bodybuilding, but it is my hobby not my life and if I had to chose I could take it or leave it if there were other more important issues in my life.

I hope and intend to keep these values all the way throughout my career and let destiny fall where it may.

thx for your insight and support though Sassy, its awesome on here to have so much going around.
