Thanks bro....but i feel like these pics do not do my legs any justice...they look smaller in these pics than in person...ill try to get some better pics soon...i love working legs btw so i dont slack on them at all...if i slack on anything it would be bis and chest....

Damn, you're a solid 185, that's for sure. You look like you know what you're doing so you should have no problem getting to 200. Good luck!

Good for you man. Glad to see you got the help of your girlfriend. That makes dieting, whether it be bulking, cutting, or just maintaining that much easier! Best of luck to your girl!

No problem man. What's your training look like?

**Julio** · 01-16-2009, 12:35 AM

This is kinda wut we follow at the current time...

Mon- legs(focus on hams and glutes)...abs :circuit

Tues- upperbody - chest/bis/tris...abs:curcuit

Wed - shoulders...calves...abs:curcuit

Thur - legs (focus on quads)...abs: obligues only

Fri - back...arms(superset bis and tris)

Sat - off

Sun - back ...work on weak points...

Like I said I train with my GF that competes in Figure so this workout is set up more for her and her weaker points...which we change it up alot too tho...and she does alot more cardio that i didnt put in there...i dont do much at all cuz i am bulking.

Oh yeah...i made a thread about her and put pics on it and stuff...check it out

mate you look good, my first thought was do some more work on your legs to make them stand out more as you upper body appears to overshadow your legs

ok..yeah i agree with you...i push my legs pretty hard but i guess its just not one of my strong points...they will come in time tho...Thanks for the advice

PLUS I have no tan AT ALL..lol...i think with a lil color my entire body would look alot better...

PoppaDLo · 01-16-2009, 12:56 PM

I have to say first off your traps are huge. The ink really does well to show it off. Second off in those first pics you scream out MMA fighter. Do you do any full body workouts like Jiu Jitsu or even grappling?

Thanks man, but to be honest I get a lot of working out during my two classes a week doing Jiu Jitsu. I mean yes I bust my ass by after class every muscle seams like it was worked well into the "good burn" zone.

**projecthatch92** · 01-16-2009, 02:20 PM

I hear ya. Jiu Jitsu's pretty intense

I havent done anything recently...but i did train at an MMA school for a few months a lil while back...but all i do now is weight train...I would love to train MMA for awhile and try to fight but i dont really have time to train like i would want to and i just like bodybuildng too much
