Off-Season Bodybuilders

Thank you to all of the people who have contributed to this thread. I take a lot of pride in the fact that I created one of the most popular and beloved threads on this website, and I hope it continues on for a long time.

Here is a picture of Sergio with friend Roy

Some one jump on boat here but those Will Harris offseason pics are bullshit. In those offseason pics he looks bigger than most BBs posted here yet if you see his contest pics he weighs around 240lbs and his arms dont look any where near as freaky.

Also, in line with this topic, Dex is one of those who RARELY goes much more than 20lbs above his contest weight…and he is also one of the ones who has made the LEAST overall progress over the last few years. That is why he is now trying to get heavier in the off season…now that it may be too late.

The ones ruling the stage lately seem to be the ones who are not afraid t put that weight on even if they may stay leaner later on.[/quote]

I’ve seen it’s better to stay closer from contest shape if conditioning is your main concern (well that’s obvious), if you have completed your mass goals and you just need some details (a bit more delt, some quad sweep but not the whole package, etc…).

On the other side, if mass in the long term is desired, it’s a loss of time to do extra clean bulks, specially if you’re natural. Yes, you don’t have to have a gut bigger than your chest prominency to gain muscle mass, but a bit more cals and cheat meals won’t get you there. People seems to think that cheating 2 or 3 times a week will ruin their progress, when in fact it may even boost their strength gains. They end up entering in “vicious” cycles, where everytime they cheat because they couldn’t control their appetite they restrict their diet mimicking a cutting diet. The end result is that they cut 50% or more of the year total, and they waste a sum of months where they could’ve gained more muscle mass.

I agree Boris Klein looks better than Ronny fucken Rockel.

Klein is probably in prison right now… in 2007/08 [I don’t remember] he was arrested in Poland for smuggling computer parts LOL! [a lots of them] I don’t know what NOW is going on with him but… still! LOL ;]

I’m amazed at both his shoulder size/definition in that side chest picture, as well as his little devil-horn veins in the same pic.
