Somebody has got to be mate. lol
Seriously though - really good work. I’m totally pissed though - I got an inch and a quarter on my arms above you but I don’t look half as big. So much for being a 6’2 fat bastard ![]()
I my interpretation, assuming that you were in the maximum end of your weight class I would try to step up a class or to because your upper body in competetion looks very drawn.
Although I am highly impressed with your vacuum It is my opinion that without sufficient mass in the pectorials, arms, and lats it will bring your lack of mass in these areas to the forefront rather than give the appearence of size. A good set of abs and more air in the top of the stomach chest would also help this pose.
In general I believe that you have plenty of potential and need to focus on a few key areas.
- General Posing and positioning on stage, choice of poses
- General mass increases as well as specificcally targeting, lats, arms, abs, chest, and lats
- Judging by your off season to inseason disparities I would look at possibly a more measured approach to dieting to ensure less loss of muscle in the process.
Good work and hope this helps

Thanks physical culture thats the sort of advice i need i have this week started a priority back routine that will last for the next six weeks and then i will resume normal training for the following four weeks before embarking on a priority chest routine for the rest of my offseason. Thanks mate the comments are very much appreciated.
Proirty chest routine? try this;bench press to neck to failure,dumbell flyes to failure, dips,postive failure ,forced reps,neg reps to failure.one set each,no rest between exercises.Twice a week for three weeks.go home sleep.Good luck,this really works.
Thanks for that coomo i might as well give it a go i have nothing to lose and its done over a short period. it seems very HIT, I have never tried a HIT routine so this might just be the shock my chest needs. Thanks for the advice mate. My chest routine now consists of:
3 x incline dumbbell press 10-12 reps
3 x incline barbell 8-12 reps
3 x weighted dips 12-15 reps
3 x pec dec 15-20 reps
Rest if for about 90-120 seconds after each set
