    Don't know Pam. They haven't come forward and shown any pics of theirselves just pics of me last year as a welterweight posted next to the two top middleweights at Nats. Stoli Stoliv being one of them the guy whom I also stood next to at Masters Overall (he was middlweight winner, I was welter) I already knew that last year Stoli had a ton of muscle on me and I've posted his pics several times before in my older thread I had to show what I was up against this year. Then I posted a pic of my legs this year and the guy got all bent out of shape and stated that the "contest prep" thread was only for guys who praise Kevin and kiss his ass....what??

    The unwanted competitor
    This kinda negative feedback just adds fuel to my fire Steve! That's why I've posted a couple pics of my legs this past week. I know I still have to work on my chest and back thickness to go to Nats in Nov and really make some noise...Seriously at 45 I'm grateful that I can still do this and compete with these guys but I also am representing all of us here on this Masters Forum to show what muscle maturity is all about!

    The pics posted were actually true last year's Master Nats of me at 164 posted next to a couple of monster middleweights at Nats last year at 176. It was just the way they were misrepresenting. My legs HAVE come up this year and that's all I wanted to show this guy, whoever he is????


    Thanks Mike! Are you ready for Pittsburgh????

    Great to see all this, Kevin. Always believed in mirror over the scale. As long as you hit the stage at your best, that is the main thing. And looks like you will.

    Leaving for Pittsburgh next week, should be fun. Will be an amazing event.

    Kevin,
    Whoever posted that about your legs is a freakin #$@%!....... probably weighs a buck twenty five soaking wet. Your legs look great,bro. Use it for motivation..........you have a complete body...not missing anything...most other competitors cannot say that. Nail your conditioning and let's hear what they have to say when you wallk away with the hardware!

    Thanks Keith..You're probably right about this dude. I don't have any stand out bodyparts but I am hoping that I will display the complete package on stage but you're right I need to nail my conditioning and that's what I'm planning on doing....

    Chest and Biceps Today. Haven't weighed myself in a couple of days. Going to try and NOT step on scale more than twice per week. It plays head games with you when you drop a few pounds.

    Flat Flyes: 4x12-15 75s
    High Incline Flyes: 4x12-15 65s (Really concentrating on upper pecs
    High Incline Presses: 4x10-12 100s (very difficult, I'm not used to doing such a high incline but it felt really good)
    Flat DB Presses: 4x10-12 100s (Felt like 120s at least doing these last)

    Standing cable curls: 3x12-15 100
    DB Seated Curls: 3x12-15 45s
    Hammer Curls: 3x12-15 45s
    Concentration Curls: 2x15ish 40s

    Doing about 25 minutes of low intensity cardio 2night.

    Here's a rear lat spread at 18 weeks out of Nats weighing 191. I'm already seeing some vascularity in my back at this bodyweight.
    This is a good sign I didn't see this type of vascularity in my back until I was around 180 last year.

    I don't know if you've noticed but you haven't seen any full body shots of me at all on this thread. It's intentional.

    I am now working with George Farah and he told me he has no problem with me having a training journal here and even talking about diet and macros.

    But what he does'nt want to see it me posting full body mandatory shots of my progress pics. These are for only he to see. Nothing wrong with showing one on your bodyparts that you feel like you want to display but don't allow yourself set yourself up for negativity by posting a whole body shot. He said you know guys are going to try and bring you down by pointed out what they think your weak points are.

    I'm staying away from ALL negativity from here on in and I'm 100% Focoused. I Will post a shot of a bodypart as sort of a tease when other competitors want to visit this thread so they'll see what their up against. But I'm not going to show them all I have. Just wanted all to know what been going in my camp.....

    so could you post your current diet? I'm sure none would get the same results as you got from it if someone decides to use it, because of so many variables (different metabolism, age, training volume/intensity, lifestyle, respond to certain nutrients etc etc...) But it would be interesting to see.

    You're in very good shape,this far out! Separated legs, veins in the back etc...How do you feel wouldn't you grew better/added more muscle mass this past offseason if you would had upped your cals a little bit more, gain some more fat but new muscle too?

    Kevin I agree with you 100%. I think we have a good group here but there is always the chance of someone being critical rather then encouraging. George is right, keep yourself shielded from any negativity. You know what your doing, George knows what he is doing-PRESTO! You got a good combination going..And we are here behind you! Can't wait to see the post contest photos!

    I am interested in the diet your doing. George was talking about how he had Greene doing much more carbs and less cardio than he had done in the past. It is refreshing to hear someone not talking about zero carb diets for a change! LOL

    My diet as this point is very simple.

    Oatmeal, 8 egg whites/2 yokes
    2 cups white rice/50 grams chicken
    2 cups white rice/50 grams chicken
    PWO shake 50 grams whey protein powder in 16oz gatoraid
    8 oz lean red meat with large baked potatoe and some greens
    8 egg whites/2 yokes/walnuts maybe 20-30 grams of carb like a piece of wheat toast

    I'll eat a cheat meal about 1 day per week right now. I could certainly modify this diet by changing the food sources around a little as long as the macros stay about the same. As I get closer to contest I'll switch over to more fish and less chicken and I won't really start pulling carbs back for another 8 weeks or so.

    For me, bigger isn't always better regarding bumping calories up. Yes, I would like to add muscle in the offseason but at my age and at this point in my life I'm looking for 100% quality gains. Unfortunately, nowadays BB has IMO taken a wrong turn with the size game and has ruined a lot of quality physiques. I'll never be a huge mass monster and I'll work within my limits to develop a better physique. I don't feel comfortable at my height and bone structure when I get over 200 pounds my lower back and knees begin to ache more. Thanks for your input Daniel!
