madman911 - October pic udpate - open bodybuilding

**madman911** · 10-08-2007, 10:27 PM

Every time I take these update pics, all I see is everything I don't like... it depresses me for the rest of the night. However, I am on point to come in better than I did last year... I am confident of that. I am MUCH bigger than I was last year, still not truly BIG by any means, but vastly improved.

More of da' sexy...

**madman911** · 10-08-2007, 10:34 PM

Will be shredded on Nov. 10th???? Inquiring minds wanna know.

Thanks bro, I just did a little comparison with pics from this same point last year and I'm happy with what I see. So happy that I'm attaching them. As long as I can consistently improve from year to year, I will be a satisfied man. But, winning is always nice too.

Legs are definitely a bit improved from last year... I think hammies and glutes are a lot better, especially the glutes. Switching to ATG squats really helped me develop a cute ass if I do say so myself.

The attached pic shows me in 2006 on the left, exactly 4 weeks out from IMPC finals last year. On the right is me today at 4 weeks and 5 days out. I am a tad leaner in the 2006 pics, but by the actual 4 week out point, I will be on par, especially since Layne just tweaked my diet again. What is impressive is how much thicker my chest, delts, and traps are now. It never really hit me just how poor my upperbody was last year... yikes!!! The difference in my taper is staggering. For most of this prep, I've been doubting that I had changed my body at all during my last bulk. Well, I'm finally convinced my last bulk was a big success.

danman77220 · 10-09-2007, 04:32 AM

You've most definitely added some more mass to your frame, particularly the delts and traps from what I can see. Fantastic work, you'll be plenty lean come finals.

Thanks bro. I actually was drier at one week out last year than I was on contest day. I think I did spillover a little; it was particularly evident in my back. I had serious detail in my back definition one week out and lost much of it on contest day. This year I'm not messing with a massive carb load, so I should come in much drier.
