Thanks for the compliments and criticisms. I’ll try to answer the questions all in one post. I started training about 7 years ago and I have competed 4 times. To briefly answer the diet/training question, I started 12wks out and ate oatmeal, eggs, white rice, chicken and greens. Carbs started at 500g/day and ended at zero. 8 eggs at breakfast and 8oz chx breast for lunch and dinner. 2 isopure shakes/day. I did eat some beef early on but it was cut out pretty early. I loaded everything with BBQ sauce and ketchup until the last couple of weeks.
I’d like to be more specific but I just did was I told and never wrote anything down. Bottom line is different things work for different people. Training was basically 5 sets of 10 with 10sec rest periods between sets. Monday and Thursday were leg days, tues and fri were upper body days and wed was arms. 3-4 movements per muscle group. I hope this is somewhat helpful and I’ll try to post a more specific routine later.
good work man , you looked huge and still pretty lean @ 250 maybe just a little fat faced but huge none the less.
as for the comp ripped and symetrical pleasing asthetically calves werent that bad, at least you have the potential to have monsters, not little girl high calves.
Freakin awesome, in contest shape and the 250 pound photo, both physiques are worth high marks. In your friends thread you posted a pic of one of his lifts, got any of your own?
