post show rebound....

[needsize]

damn, I had forgotten what this is like....
After starving my body for so long, then dehydrating it as bad as I did, the rebound after you start feeding it normally is unreal. Controlling the water is brutal, as my body is soaking it up like mad, but the thickness everywhere else is unreal. I took some pics to see what I look like a week after the show, and I like this look way better than the stage look, still lean enough to be vascular, but so much bigger and fuller...
Now if I can maintain something like this, and keep from getting fat....

 

[satchboogie]

keep it up brotha....
how's your PCT coming along?

just running hcg now waiting for the eq to clear, love having my sex drive back and feeling human again

 

[Stainless_Steel]

Can we see the pics you took a week after your show?

sure, I took a bunch, but these give you an idea, I like this look much better...

 

[Gaffa]

U look amazing m8,what id give to look like that.

 

[lacoste]

Damn dude you still look really ripped, but real full like you said. What bodyfat do you think you are at now and what bodyfat were you at on the day of competition. Excellent work.

 

[bluehen]

You still look great. It doesn't look like you are rebounding bad. I know guys that put on 30-40 pounds after a show. I ran into a guy last night that I competed against in July that is only up 10 punds since then he told me he is eating like crazy but just can't put the weight back on.

 

[wayneboard1]

Can;t give you enough K man. Looking awesome and I don't mwan that in a way lol

 

[Stainless_Steel]

Still lookin sick! Good luck on maintaining that look.

 

[needsize]

Thanks guys, its not often I like the way I look, but thick and still fairly lean is nice, I just dont see it lasting...
Not sure of bf, the water really throws everything off, my skin is still really thin in a lot of places like quads, arms, etc, but then there is a thick layer of water in my back, stomach, etc, and every day I wake up not too bad, but by bed I have a big belly from the water, and the diuretics dont seem to help at all

Still looking freaky Brother!!
Can you give us an idea of what some of your cycles have looked like?

TRAIN, EAT, LIVE LIKE A ANIMAL!!

 

[hanibal]

damn bro u look sick. IMO that's a better look than the show look. big yet cut. good job.

 

[OMEGA]

what kinda pct are you planning?

a bridge?

anyway you look great!

 

[Ulter]

I know people who put on 30-40 pounds in the first week. It's pretty crazy. Still looking good though bro.

 

[Its All Genetics]

how tall are u needsize?

 

[needsize]

Thanks guys...its so tough to find that fine line between rewarding yourself for all that sacrifice, and turning yourself into a fatass in no time... The first couple days were a write off, but I think I have it figured out

Radar, I ended up with 2nd in the light heavies, I owned the other guy in size, but he was drier(there is a pics thread in the pics forum). It was so close, they didnt decide until the evening show, which is something that never happens. I screwed up my diet the day before though, and spilled over, so its my fault. At this point I'm just happy to spend time with my family, and concentrate on the new job, I even cancelled the 2nd show

Past cycles were all pretty basic, dbol/test/deca/eq, nothing fancy. Now that I have a trainer, she has some different approaches, so I'll see what they look like, but if they worked to get her to the top ranks of the IFBB, I imagine they should work well for me...

As it stands, pct is heavy hcg for two weeks, then nolva/clomid for 4 weeks, then I will most likely end up back on. I had a blood test done very recently, and everything was all in the normal range, so I dont really feel the need to take longer off, and I cant wait to get to offseason training with this trainer, I have seen her turn guys into monsters

I am 5'8", and around 218lbs in those pics

 

[|3ossman]

your chest looks fucking massive in that side shot!

 

[Dial_tone]

Wouldn't it be great if we could maintain that post contest look year round. I would kill to maintain 15 lbs over contest shape year round.

 

[Prizz]

Hey, what if you did an IFG-1 cycle during your PCT? Wow, I'd like to see what that would do....

that would be awesome, but I enjoy living, and eating food that I enjoy too much. I wont let myself get fat, but the work involved in maintaining a low bf isnt worth it, when no one ever sees me with my shirt off anyway, other than my wife, and she doesnt care if I work out anyway

prizz, that would work really well for maintaining mass, but I wont touch anything that will make my waist any bigger, 8 months of gh at 3-5iu day, put an inch on it

Oh I was just thinking aloud really man.... but IGF-1 shouldn't increase your waist size...

Still looking good dude, good to see you're still around.

igf is the part of gh(or end result, once your body has processed it), that causes the gh gut, in fact, everything I have read on it suggests that it affects the intestinal area even more than just regular gh. Sucks as I would love to hit up the igf

 

[glennds]

gotta say needsize, although youir body was impressive in your contest pics you looked very gaunt in the face when taken. you look much healthier in your post contest pics.

 

[gymratforlife]

You just keep getting bigger and better with time bro,congratulations on you progress and hard work.

its amazing the progress u have made since ive been here...incredible bro

 

[Hammer2Strength2]

Looking good as usual needsize. Long time no talk Ya that post contest rebound is a weird thing. It's nice when you get that full look, but just sucks to see all the nice lines slowly disappear. No show for me this year, but maybe Nationals next sept. Still looking to break through that 195-200lbs mark. I've jumped 15 pounds from Friday's weigh in to getting home on Sunday. That's a lot of water! Wont do that again. take care enjoy the family and train hard. ttyl

it has been a while, you kinda disappeared there.....
So far after the initial jump, i seem to be keeping the weight under control, tough to do when all you want to do is eat

 

[Throw2Far]

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to needsize again.

Damn I love people that put in the work and see the results... Great job bro...

 

[Themachine01]

After I finished my last photoshoot I gained close to 20lbs in 5 days from the rebound affect, it was amazing. The photoshoot was back in the beginning of June and my goal was to keep my bodyfat down throughout the winter months and a bulking cycle. It went great up until about 4 weeks ago and I started slacking, not much, but a little bit and I can tell a difference. Its such a headache NS to try and keep your bodyfat down in those lower digits I couldnt handle it. I am going to tighten things back up again this week and start adding cardio back in, just 20-30 mins post training to help maybe lose a little of the bodyfat/water weight that I have put back on. I dont like carrying all that weight anymore so Ive decided to keep my bodyfat in check all year long now, I just feel so much better when my bodyfat is down. You look awesome in the pics bro, your delts look sick.

 

[Beachboy6294]

sure, I took a bunch, but these give you an idea, I like this look much better...

Damn bro that is Awesome!! Your a Monster! How much are you weighing here?

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. Lookin sick! How much weight did you put on from day to day after the show?

 

[needsize]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN. Lookin sick! How much weight did you put on from day to day after the show?

I didnt weigh myself the first couple days, but it went from 203-205lbs the week before the show, 196lbs or so on stage(going by the same scale), and has been sitting around 218-219lbs since I started checking it

I can confirm that all the top IFBB pro's are afraid of IGF for the increased waistline! They will not touch it. I spent a night talking to one of them about it. I was amazed. At 40 mcg's a day for 4 weeks my waist dropped three inches!
I can only assume why that was:
1. Was it because of the low amount I used?
2. If you use it for too long does the way it effects your body change?

At this point I am not sure. Just working out and living the clean life.

BTW. Needsize... looking sick in those post show pics! I feel SO small when I look at those! Makes me want to hop on.. LOL

Maybe they want to keep it a secret so they're not telling each other or you. That same fear sure isn't stopping them from using GH.

Pounding the stuff!

 

[needsize]

I do remember reading more than once, that IGF is basically the end result in the body once the gh has been processed by your body. So thats why injecting it is superior to gh, as you are not having the gh convert to IGF, you are injecting IGF directly, so you end up with much more IGF in your body in the end, which is the where the positive effects from gh come from. And I do remember reading that it had a very high affinity to attaching itself to the intestines and stomach area, causing growth there
What I do know for sure is that gh at 3-5iu a day, increased my waist size by an inch in the time that I used it, which was no more than 8 months. So I have sworn off anything that could possibly have the same affect, including gh itself.

Bro makes perfect sense, think about it, the only thing that makes gh benefitial to us is the fact that it converts to igf, so the fact that igf makes ure intenstines grow makes perfect sense.

not bad at all, i guess i cant call you fatty anymore....gotta think of something new
