cut back your salt intake you have some bloating going on bro,if you're on enthate or cypionate switch to propionate that helps tremendously.besides that fact you look terrific! keep up the great work
Looking good kipp! deff some bloat going on.... not sure what from. body fat doesnt really look high at all.. looks more like water to me. Need to puff up those traps i think.... and try and bring up forearms to match those cannons....as far as hamstrings one of my go to exercises is dumbell leg curls.... the pinching motion with your feet plust curling the weight obliterates inner hamstrings if done properly.used as a secondary exercise of course.
kippp, might I suggest you take a look into Dante Trudel's stuff on training calves. I have heard many good reports from people looking to bring them up using his stuff.
I'm not sure what kind of mirror you're looking in but you look pretty fucking good to me. Diet down bro, you'll be suprised at how good you really look.
The plan is to diet down. Need to pick a show also. Thanks for the feedback.
phil113kgKippp you look good bro, no kidding. Okay you believe you have improvements to make as we all do but to me, a competitor, you look great. From what I see now, you look to be in good symmetry, calves, shoulder to waist tie inn, and quads gives a good X appearance. Are you naturally dark? Or is it the lighting? If you are close to that color then you have a big advantage to those with a lighter skin tone. Good lats and they're not too high like some I have seen. No bro you look like you will do well. Just remember to try to hold on to your fullness as you begin to strip away your fat a little at a time. Plus stay away from running. It will make you loose leg size, trust me. Stick with stationary bikes, tread mills and such but no running.
Yes, I'm naturally dark. What about the stepmill or just stick with the bike? Thanks for the feedback.
phil113kgYeah those are good. I found that running will not only hurt your knees but also wear your muscles away.
Hey mate the only way you will know for sure is to diet down for a comp. Give it a crack and take the plunge. You should be ok. When you are dieted down then you will be able to make a better judgement n what areas you are really lacking.
Trying to decide what contest I should do if I'm going to diet down. Might as well get on stage. Thanks
DOUBLE G 67I DONT THINK YOUR QUADS ARE AS FAR OFF AS YOU THINK BRO...YOU HAVE NICE LINES ACTUALLY,TO ME,AND IF WE ARE BEING HONEST,SOMETHING YOU ARE TAKING IS BLOATING YOU OUT.. SOME NICE "GORILLA" CUTBLEND(WOW,IM SHAMELESS),20 MIN CARDIO -AFTER- TRAINING...MUCH BETTER RESULTS...AND A STRICTER DIET YOU WILL LOOK 20 LBS HEAVIER,BUT BE 20LBS.LIGHTER!
I can help u out on diet as well! Team gorilla!

I been trying to hit you guys up but every time I check site u are out. Could the hygetropin cause the bloat? I'll try the cutblend when u have it in stock. Thanks
I don't think your lats are big enough.... Jk jk.
Yea, post up a back shot if you can. Your lats look sick Bro
i dont think youre symmetry is off. you look solid bro. drop the body fat percentage and i think you'll pretty f'ing sick
I'll be starting a diet this week to cut bf%. I'll keep u guys posted. Thanks for the feedback.
Bro ill go ahead an tell you, To get a REALLY GOOD sense of where your lagging your going to need to drop your BF. I know it sucks especially when you think you might still have to bulk but you will be suprised at how much bigger and fuller your muscles will look with that extra seperation. Your huge the only things i can say without seeing you in person or with a lower BF is you need just a little more low back work on your lumbars to help tie in on that thick back(then again they could be bigger and me not be able to see it because men tend to carry alot of fat on thier low back) and like they said some hamstring work. Id seriously just go on a little diet to drop your BF so you can make an even more honest assesment of where your at development wise.
I was thinking of dieting down just to see how I looked. I thought if I'm dietng just go ahead and do a show. I'll diet down and go from there. Thanks for the input.
No problem bro thats what were here for. Drop that BF and get us some pics!!!!
For hammies try doing some stiff legged deadlifts. Seems to stimulate muscle deeper than traditional leg curls for me. For calves you have high calves which is the same problem I have. To gain mass I have to cut reps back to 8-10 and go heavier. That 10 is basically to failure so you have to play with the weight. Otherwise you look great. Nice small joints.
I'll try stiff legged deadlifts and cut down on the reps for calves. Should I do hams on the same day as quads? Thanks for the input.
Agreed
First off youre a beast. I can see your squat work, but what do you do for you hamstrings. Im no BB pro, I just expect more rips and splits on your hammys and calves.
Seated & lying leg curls 5 sets ea, 12 to 15 reps. Single standing leg curl 5 sets ea, 12 to 15 reps. Walking lunges with dumbbells. Seated and standing calf raises for 5 sets ea. I try to get 45 reps ea sets (15 with feet out, 15 feet in, & 15 straight). Recently switched to doing hams separate from quads to see if I can get more growth. Open to suggestion.
