OK, I Admit It. I Don't Weigh 315 lbs.

[KD1]

60-70lbs seems too much, 275-285 would be a good "walk around" weight for that build.

 

[Ulter]

I don't know his height for sure so you may be right. But just looking at the pics I would put his ideal weight at 260 not 285.

 

[bigcountry61]

depends on what u like and what u do. some of us like to be massive.

Ulter that guy is massive he looks better @310

that guy foreskinrules is a fuckin pussy! i bet he all of 140 lbs 18%bf and swears he king ding a ling

 

[Ulter]

Ulter that guy is massive he looks better @310

That was my point. He looks better at 310 than 380. He's almost 6'5" though.
Mike Miller was 420 at one point. He was that heavy until he was almost 40 and then dropped a hundred pounds. If you talk to him he'll tell you that he wishes he would have done it earlier because all his lifts went UP and he feels so much better.

You're so right ulter. I actually get treated like more of a freak of nature as I lose weight. My pics don't really show it but I have sick vascularity all through my arms, shoulders, and chest. It's just that I'm so heavy I need to pump up a lot to get them out. If I was 20 lbs lighter they'd be visible even while I wasn't working out. I truly never intended to get this heavy. It just kinda happened after I decided I didn't want to compete any longer. After so many years of dieting for show after show after show, a couple years of zero refined sugar, 2 cans+ of tuna /day, and on/off carb depletion, I put a big halt on "delayed gratification" and basically never deprived myself of a morsel of great tasting food. Add extra sugar to my diet to compensate for the 5yr, $300/wk Nubain habit I kicked almost 2 yrs ago, a torn pec last July that limited my training intensity, and a left hip that has killer arthritis and limits my cardio, and 319.3 is what I've got. Before the pec tear it was my intention to get under 10% and stay there by X-mas. Obviously that didn't happen, so now I plan on starting my diet in another 6 wks or so and shooting for under 10% by July 07. After that, who knows? Requalify and try to turn pro in the masters division like my bro Rusty Jeffers did a couple yrs back. He's about 5 yrs older than me and always seemed one notch ahead of me in every contest we did together. I actually quit competing by the time my phyique was capable of beating him. Plus these days there's a Super Hwt class, so I may have a better shot at a pro card than ever cuz I won't be standing next to a bunch of 5 ft 8 inch guys, 10 yrs younger than me that weigh the same as I do. I dunno. Competing has left a bad taste in my mouth after seeing 1st hand some behind the scenes shady shit that take place in the competitive BB world. I also grew tired of trying to keep up with the mega doses of roids all the other competitors were using, not to mention, slin, synthol, etc. However it would be kinda fun to come out of retirement. I was big shit here in the local scene in the mid-late 90's. Me returning to the stage would make a lot of the current local BB champs shit their pants. Mainly cuz they know I'm going to likely do a local show to requalify for nationals-and nobody locally(that I know of) is even close to my size. To give you an idea, there was only 1 super heavy in the last local national qualifier show and he was a soft 230 lbs at 5 ft 10 inches. I'm basically just thinking out loud with my keystrokes. I guess I'll take it month by month for now and see how things go? Thanks for all of the encouragement.

DO IT.

I believe 110% in you that you can do this if you want it bad enough. I can tell by all your posts that it's still in you. Don't leave this big 'what if' in your mind. It will haunt you one day, it seems like it's even doing that now.

I know what you mean about the weight classes. The super heavy class was the best thing ever, because it's just not fair being 6'1-6'5 and being around 250-300 in shape and some midget weighing almost as much as you is what you have to go against.

Times have changed as well. Bbing is crying out for a new look. There are more and more masters shows each year. You can do it bro, you can. Just put your heart and mind into it and don't let up. I see it in your posts.

Yeah the diets, the constant eating, the shit like high dosages, slin, etc gets old after a while (heck it gets old after a week!) but just think how great it would feel to get out there one more time and give it your all, and maybe, just maybe get a pro card for the masters devision. It's *never* too late to follow a dream, don't ever forget that.

Wow....you are in the exact same place as me...well sort of! The stuff with injuries and diet and huge doses...most of these guys here do not have a clue what it takes to compete at a national level. The sacrafice is horrible. I am moving back up to heavies because I do not want to eat 1700 cals a day for 6 weeks. I just went back on and I am already like 227# I would guess 6 something %. I am not sure I can train my legs to size anymore since the quad injury but I was 206# on stage at Jr Nationals this year in the Lt Hvys but shit everyone was 5 feet 5 inches and I am 5 feet 7.5! Its liek5-7# per inch you have to be weigh more to look the same as a shorter person. I am 38 in June so then two more years and I am doing masters nationals as well. I hope you come back. Your contest photos looked great. I bet you would be suprised the muscle you put on and the muscle maturity you have developed. 250-255# on stage...I would not want to stand next to you and I am no slouch!

You're right. For awhile I put BB on the back burner and started doing more normal stuff guys my age do. I bought nice cars, motorcycles, and electronic gizmos-things my BB lifestyle never allowed time or $ for. Looking back I see that BB just may be an unfinished chapter in my life. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be posting here and I'd still be posting on some other contraversial non-BB msg board like totse aka tail of the scteaming electron. (FYI-wanna learn how to make a bomb? Bake pot brownies? Scam people out of cash? Rob a ATM? Fuck over an ex gf?-totse is your home.) lol I'm also a personal trainer in addition to owning another biz that does well-but I'd like to make the transition into making a living off of the fitness industry solely in the not too distant future. Any local hype about me competing again will be big news among gym gossipers and only help my situation. The one thing I love about BB is that even at 40 yrs old I can make a come back and become a pro athlete.

Wait...don't call it a comeback! I'm just getting better with age-like fine wine with a hint of piss and vinegar for good measure.

Mama says knock you out!!!

foreskinrules likes to bash people, but i have yet to see his pics.I had some words with him on meso, but I have moved on and don't feel like wasting my time.

bigcracker, your holding some fat for certain, but I don't think you look all that bad. I like the massive look. I mean sure you could cut up and see what you end up with just for the hell of it. we have all seen what lee preist looks like in the off season right?
