9 Weeks out - SuperiorMuscle.com

**Chadd77** · #1 03-22-04, 07:31 AM

Here are a couple pics of me 9 weeks out. This will be my first non-tested show. I did my first show (natural) last year. Please feel free to critique my pics. I’m 5’9” and weighing about 189 lbs right now. I was up to 200 lbs before I started my contest diet. It sucks getting skinny!

The first shot I took is a morning photo. The rest were taken in the evening.

Damn.. looking great Chadd! Excellent size and proportions in upper and lower body. Looks like your cutting is on track

The only thing I see is that maybe your traps are lacking a bit of size, but it might be the camera angle?

Cutting is going well. Although right now I’m craving a large pepperoni pizza!

Thanks for being polite but it is not the camera angle. My traps are lacking. I have recently changed my workout routine to try and improve the size of them.

LOL... Trash ?? Polite??!! hahaha

OK, so why have you been ignoring them

I'm in no position to give you advice but my traps have grown from just doing SL deadlifts; I don't train them specifically, but maybe it's a genetic thing. Either way, I don't see much room for improvement, as long as you keep cutting .

P.S. Your PM box is full

BUMP!

Hey it's been a week Chadd.. how's the cutting.. on track?

berniec · #12 03-30-04, 07:01 PM

what do you do for lats? i've gotta get mine up to par, looks like something is def workin for yours

**Chadd77** · #13 03-31-04, 06:47 AM

TP, thanks for the bump brother! Cutting is going well and the abs are coming in. I’m trying to do a lot of hanging leg lifts and other ab routines that target the lower abdominals. It seems like I am on track. I’m starting to lean out! I appreciate you asking.

Berniec, I always try to incorporate pull ups to every back workout and since my back is feeling healthy I started doing deadlifts again. I have always felt my back was lacking in proportion to the rest of my body. I’m hoping that the deads help that.

Excellent..

what's your weight now?

I'm about 187lbs right now. Each week a little more weight comes off. Not sure what my weight will be when I compete. This competition has height classes not weight. So whatever weight I am at is fine with me. As long as I'm shredded!!!!

TPTrash · #16 04-01-04, 07:10 AM

If you can average 1-2 lbs a week, I'd say you should look ripped enough. Now keep working on that vascularity issue

D Animal · #17 04-01-04, 07:55 PM

Great work bro! Whats your workout routine like? I"m sure this will be asked more often. :-D

**Chadd77** · #18 04-02-04, 09:07 AM

I try and work one muscle group per day. Chest one day back the next ect… And when I’m training for a competition I’ll hit abs and calves eod. I just started training this way and I really enjoy it. I’m not rushed and I can focus all my energy on one muscle group.

I'll post some more pics closer to show time. Starting to lean out a lot more then the pictures posted above.

Keep up the great work and the best of luck to you in the comp!

What else you want to know brother? Above i stated that I'm 5'9" and in the pictures above I'm about 190lbs. That was 2 weeks ago and my weight since then has dropped. I'm loosing about 1.5 pounds a week right now.

TPTrash · #22 04-05-04, 11:18 AM

Chadd, empty your PM mail box then tell us where you are competing

**Chadd77** · #23 04-05-04, 12:00 PM

Man, I thought I just emptied my pm box. Try again TPTrash!

I’m competing May 22nd.

TPTrash · #24 04-05-04, 12:05 PM
