“Weak points: lat width, biceps, blocky waist”
How would you fix the blocky waist problem? Is that genetic or is it from lots of heavy squats, deadlifts, and ab work from his powerilfting background? Will the reduction of those exercises help his waist?[/quote]
Sometimes physical characteristics are not the consequence, but the cause. Maybe his thickness and blocky waist gave him an advantage to be introduced to strength sports.
Wow… I can’t get over the size of his legs! Amazing! 
Can’t wait to see how he does!
First off, what are his measurements? I don’t like to judge a BB’er without some film and tape-measurements, and definitely not based on still photography alone. So my comments are supplied on condition of some numbers.
Secondly, 15Ibs lean gain per annum, sustained over a 3yr period - excellent job, by both trainer and trainee, especially given that he appears to be on the wrong side of 30.
As has been said frequently by others, excellent density and sheer ruggedness.
While I am not calling his calves small, he has a glaring thigh/calf imbalance, resulting either from gifted thighs and undergifted (and/or undertargeted) calves, and given his powerlifting background, I would speculate on underwork. They may also be the result of undergifting, but that only reinforces the following suggestion.
I feel he could benefit, post-contest of course, by a week or two of PURE calf training, of a rep/weight combination he has not done before, no other bodyparts being worked. I’d like to see the calves shocked into growth, and the bulk of his protein load for that time go straight there.
Finally, just to repeat, I’d very much like to know the tale of the tape.

Why? Seriously, bodybuilding is judged on looks. I’ve seen a 18’’ arm look much more impressive than a 20’’ arm in similar condition.
Daaaamn Thibs, tell him he’s got the Nation on his side. Looking amazing.
This guy looks good. Very built!
Doesn’t he post here as well?

Damn CT, he’s a beast! Great work and good luck to the both of you.

What is it that you expect to discover from looking at his tape measures?

You just answered your own question, mate. The Elite Modelling Agency turns over millions by making girls who are pretty, but don’t seem extraordinarily beautiful on the street, INTO extraordinary beauties via camera angles and specialist lighting.
Yes, your man APPEARS impressive, no doubt, but where are the stats?

Well he is impressive enough to win his IFBB pro card. I guess that it’s good enough.
And as I mentioned, he is not trying to become a model or anything. He is a competitive bobyduilder, he is judged on how he looks onstage. And he has not lost a competiting in 3 years, and won his pro card. So he is probably not doing too badly.
Right now he is 220lbs on 5’4’’

I meant his measurements, chest/biceps/forearms/thighs/calves.

facepalm
The only weakness I see [from a bodybuilding perspective] is how massive his upper thighs are in proportion to to the muscularity of his legs around the knee. I’d assume this is from his strength training background. This dude is freakshow thick.

Nothing to be ashamed of, not having his measurements. The boy’s done well for a guy of 5’4". Pleasure chatting.
Is it inappropriate to ask if he is natural or not? I’ll fully understand if you dont want to divulge that information, but it would add to the total picture of physiques I admire being achieved with or without assistance.
Is he fulltime pro?

From what i understand, any client CT has and he can correct me if im wrong… but he doesn’t mind if they use once they dont ask advice from him.
As for if Amit has used steroids, i would be 99.9% sure he has, but only he alone can confirm that and he posts here once every 2-3 months when his mails dont get through to CT, so never know for sure

No offense, but why are you so obsessed with measurements ?
Do the pictures not satisfy that he is one fr*gging big dude ?
Bodybuilding is all about the “illusion” of being big, well besides RC and JC that is ^^
