Who is our biggest, most shredded member at Meso?

[fodsod]

Maybe we’ll meet up on stage for the overall somewhere down the road! Two old farts showing those 20 year olds how it’s done! Old man muscle! [emoji123]

Sooner than you think brother. I'm pretty sure we're doing the same show in 8 weeks. I've already booked my room up there in TN. I'd be proud to share the stage with a MESO brother. Win or lose we'd still be the baddest mofos out there.

Hell yeah! I’ve got mine booked too. I’m thinking about doing the local show that week before too. But I’ll just have to see how it t goes. You can sign up at weigh in that Friday.

I think you and I discussed this in a pm when I was inquiring about shows up in your area that were qualifiers.

The TN show looks like it’s hit or miss. Some years it looks pretty stacked then other years not so much. As long as I can pick up my qualification I’m good.

I’m doing the smaller show up in your neck of the woods on the 2nd as a favor for my buddy that owns my long time gym. He’s got a small group the gym is sponsoring entering that show but no one is in the open and he wanted a more “advanced” competitor representing the gym in the open division. Gym owners and their egos. Lol.

It’s more of a warm up and I definitely won’t be peaking for that one. Let’s just say I won’t be doing anything to mess up the timing for the qualifier on the 9th.

Its going to be badass having both of us up there in TN spanking those kids. I talked to the TN NPC chairman Allen Sizemore a few weeks ago. He’s a cool dude and seems way more legit than the one here in our state. We should get some fair judging at least.

I’ll def be there on the 2nd to cheer you on! It’ll be honor to be on stage with you on the 9th for sure! Knowing you’ll be there def motivates me to be at my best!

I don’t see how in the world you’re 7.3% bf. if I were guessing I’d say 3....4% max.

Wasn't the lady I booked who worked last time. This lady seemed kind of slow. But I trust the machine.

Those Dexa scans have showed some disputable results more than once. I saw a video with Jose Raymond doing one when he was very close to the Olympia. His said 7% also. So either our idea of what low BF% looks like is way off or the machine's interpretation/result calculation is skewed.

@jaymaximus is peeled and there's no disputing that.

I’m being put i the water tank next weekend to have mine checked. If Jay’s 7%, I️ should be 15%, lol. The guy literally looks like he has zero fat.

That number doesn't seem right however, I've seen how that number can really get skewed.

I'd be apprehensive to cut much more off and sacrifice muscle. You look ready to go now and you've still got several weeks left.

Don't know how accurate all of this is but it's food for thought, regardless... Sorry for using the F word around the hardcore dieters amongst us.

As a matter of fact I’d probably recommend he start adding some food. He’ll fill back out some and most likely get even leaner. It’s called growing into a show and it’s great if you can get ready early then coast in nice and full.

@mands has talked to me about this before. He does it with the girls he works with.

I think Jay stopped reading at "more food" and is currently driving to the nearest buffet.

I'm looking into it lol. I'm probably going to stick where I'm at for now then reevalute, i'm only slighlty below my current maintanance, then I can add in the last 3 - 4 weeks

 

[Rugbyj69]

Looking great man, good luck
