+ 10 42 year old first time competitor.
I've been lifting and in athletics my whole life. I've been bodybuilding for 2 years. I've put on 30lbs in 2 years of TRT and blast. I'm using this EBC as extra motivation to prep for my first ever comp. As all of us know, getting big is fun! But getting shredded separates those with iron will! I'm currently at a gram of UG test, 800 mg EQ/wk and 5 iu/day of UG GH and have been for 6 months. I plan on keeping the test as my base and adding Tren Ace 400-600 mg wk and mast prop at 600-800 mg/wk. Maybe some Winstrol the last 4-6 weeks? I have not done cardio in 6 months so I'm hoping some cardio does the trick. Like everyone here, I know the difference will be in the cardio and the diet. I'm 271 lbs today and looking to get down below the Classic Physique weight limit of 252 lbs and enter local Classic show.
DISCLOSURE: I have a tattoo on upper back that i smudged out with Photoshop. I didn't have any makeup. Hope this complies.
AFTER:
I stuck to my plan for the cycle except only used the Winstrol for last 2 weeks. I was late to order it and so it just showed up 2 weeks ago. I also ran out of Tren Ace 3 weeks before the end... bad planning and I think I suffered a little. I ate a very clean diet but did not get as lean as I wanted. I'm going to hire a coach and let him make me suffer to get the next level of lean. This is the best I have ever looked and I'm hooked on this process. The self satisfaction I get from reaching new personal bests is better then any drug!
I want to thank all of you that put in efforts to help us newbies reach new personal bests. Without guys and gals sharing their experience and knowledge we would all be stuck in the past. CONGRATS to all of you that reached your personal best! That's really what this sport is all about:)

Pics look good. You are compliant. Welcome to the EBC!!
Hey not bad for only 2 yrs of BBing. I do have a critique for you. That rear lat spread need some work. I’ve noticed a handful of members are afraid to grab on and flare those wings out. Really get those wings open bro. Also you are really close to not being compliant on that pose. Don’t cut off so much calf on yournclosing Pics. What you have there now is walking the line on being non compliant. Your other shots are perfect in being head to toe. Copy that on all pics for your final pics.
Good luck
Welcome to the EBC. Good luck!
You might just be able to look at the treadmill and get ripped
I only took the last 6 months off cardio to try and grow. I always have been a stair climb guy at a 140-150 heart rate. I think that over trained my legs. The last six months with no cardio gave my legs some rest and they grew well. At 6'5" it's hard to get legs proportional. I'm hoping the time away from cardio will make it very effective. We'll see.
Looking great bro! Good luck.
Excellent physique without great genetics. That's a lot of work right there.
Goodluck
Good luck
RustyhookerGood luck!!
Supposed to be same background and be able to see your calves
RustyhookerShredded!
Funny I’m looking for a PM from you on asking for permission on change of background and use of the computer. I’ve explicitly posted about failure to comply with the rules could lead to a DQ. Being that you didn’t bother reaching out to me made this easy for me. Sorry but you’re Disqualified for failure to comply with the rules and failure to seek exemptions on background and use of a computer in place of the newspaper.
Disqualified
Bummer. I knew there might be a problem with the background but I didn't have a choice. I got to the deadline yesterday and I had a family in the house so I had to use the bathroom. I didn't realize there was a process for asking for an exception or I would have requested an exception last night.
Damn dog. Not gonna lie, I feel like you should’ve been given an opportunity to retake the pictures in the same location. Life happens.
Either way bro. Awesome job man. You should be proud for sure.
Thank you so much for your kind words it means a lot after being kicked in the guts. I joined this forum to meet some like minded people and maybe make some friends. Some of these guys can tend towards the "cyber bully" mode in this environment. Thanks reaching out!
Brother, you’re 6’5” and weigh 275 pounds. With very little body fat. You won in real life.
Would’ve been nice to get a chunk of that change in the winners purse. For sure. But nothing feels better then the pride we feel in ourselves when we attain a goal we’ve set.
I was online all day yesterday. So much so my wife is still pissed off at me for neglecting my 2yr old child just to run this competition. Don’t use the kids card. You’re not the only one. What makes your kids more important than mine?
When people commit to something commit all the way otherwise accept the consequences. Please understand that there are many others who did what needed to be done to comply with the rules. Gotta be honest you’re the only one who didn’t bother reaching out to me while half a dozen others did.
Why should you be allowed in when you didn’t bother trying to reach out? You went fuck the world, rules don’t apply to me I’m sprinter bus I’m above the rules. Sorry man but I do not feel sorry for you
Please stop personally attacking me. I have accepted the DQ. I'm trying to get past this. I've never personally attacked you nor done anything to disrespect you. My lack of action was not disrespectful it was simply laziness, stupidity or other lack of action. In order to disrespect you I would need to take some action or write something disparaging. All I have done, is not thoroughly read the instructions and come up short on the requirements.There were 22 other people that did not complete the competition. Why are you not personally attacking them for there inability to complete the requirements? I meant no disrespect to anyone, I was simply trying to participate and I came up short. Every time you write a personally attacking comment on this forum I simply want to remove myself from the forum and then I get a positive comment from another member and regain hope that this community can offer positive, informative support. I really do want to be a contributing member of a good forum. If this is a "cyber bully" playground for you then I will go elsewhere, but I don't get the sense that other members feel this is that kind of forum.
RustyhookerDamn dude. Was simple rules and your all mr paragraph up here for what? Youre not the only one thats been booted for rules violation. At your age quit acting the victim. Man the fuck up for reals.
I totally agree. It should be simple rules DQ. I'm just a little over the personal attacks.
RustyhookerSee that's just not fair, I don't even know how to post funny pictures... how am I going to compete with that?!
RustyhookerHaha...i dunno. But regroup, collect your thoughts and hope to see you in the winter ebc if there is one.
For real I apologize if you felt personally attacked. My intent wasn’t to make you feel attacked. I was merely trying to enforce adherence to the rules. When you pulled the kid card I must admit I got a little offended because my wife a whole 24 hrs later is refusing to talk to me. She’s also called me an absent father and a lazy parent who cares more about steroids and strangers on a fake website more than his own child. I still put the EBC first but did buy her a 700$ emerald ring to try and make up for it.
Thank you I really do appreciate the time you put into this event. I can imagine it was very taxing. Now I'm going to check my estrogen levels!
Ouch! That really stings... no warning or discussion? Just a Final DQ? Seems a little harsh considering all the time and effort we all put in. I didn't mean to offend anybody, Not trying to disrespect the competition here, just had a house full of kids, ran out of time and I couldn't use the front room again. I knew I might catch some shit but I figured you guys would welcome the competition. Is less competition better? Of 57 competitors 22+ not even finish... why DQ one of the guys that did?
You look great bro just a shame you didn’t clear the location change first. Also even if you had the after pics have a few where you don’t have full body, they mentioned full head to toe in every pic. If you’d just done the same thing you did for the first round pics you’d be golden.
Always take the stance that the judge does not want to judge you, don’t give them any reason to mark you down, because if you do, they will.
AnonBummer about the DQ. You still made amazing progress!
