Who is our biggest, most shredded member at Meso?

[fodsod]

MW will be a struggle for sure. We’ll see where I come in for the qualifier. So far...the scale hasn’t moved more than a lb either way in weeks but checkin photos are improving. If I can get below 190 there’s a shot...

New year, new prep, new coach so who knows? Typically at some point the weight drops come inconsistently and almost in a random fashion but that's typically later in the process.

At this point, with all the different/new factors involved in your program it's impossible to predict what will happen IMO. As long as you're at your best that's all that matters. Better to look 100% in the top 1/3rd of the light heavies than 75% in the middle weights. Keep grinding.

Yep. Will assess after we see how my qualifier goes.

But IMO it has to be a solid decision; keep digging and diving down, or try to maximize myself into LHW. Didn’t want this to be a problem but if it is, definitely has to be strategic. The national show I picked was for this reason...several days between weigh ins and the stage. Either way, Coach is running shit. I’m just executing. If we can do to MW what Lunsford did to LHW before his rise to stardom it’d make sense.

Key phrase.

Incredible genetics and entertaining but a crippling personality flaw in the form of an addictive personality and impulse control issues. He seems to be in a good place right now and surrounded by a successful support system.

He ruptured his bicep

He ruptured his bicep

I just saw that on YT. Not good regardless of the extent of the tear. I detached my left bicep (proximal at the shoulder insertion) about 7 years ago and also tore my rotator at the same time. The bicep never looks the same after that, no matter what you do.

Although, Dorian Yates and a few others were still able to be successful after bicep tears even though it looked pretty bad. I think Dexter Jackson had a partial bicep tear last year midway in the season. It looked weird (SEO use probably) for about 4 months.

Dex’s Arm was a mess last year...

Yep..even with the pros, the guys who stay looking good on IG right up to show time never come in on their game.

The dude in the sweats and hoodie is probably the real threat...

 

[Oldschool]

Yep I love that stuff. I use to burn so easy fair skin. Then I started taking it and stay dark all year

It’s the way to go man. I don’t see any reason to not run a low dose year round and tan 1-2x per week.

Any pointers on finding some good melatonin? Looking for sleep benefits. Thanks.

Great work! How's the recovery been? That's a lot to go through at once, did they find the cause of the failures???

nice bro i like the size of those biceps too!

Probably not this year brother. Want to add some more size first and continue to practice posing routines.

Also taking your advice and upping my protein to 2x body weight. I’ve been in a deficit the last few months and time ready to start bringing cals back up. Gonna start my taking Protein up by 60g and carbs by about 30g. I’ll be at 3,000 training and 2,500 non training which is about maintenance for me but should add some weight initially.
