My workout buddy...

Basically just wanted to show off a friend of mine who I workout with...

He is a monster. Currently weighs 260lbs  @ 6'3".  Ive never seen him with any fat on him. (known him for a few years)
 
Also, all natural.

...a tan

lol other than that i cant even say anything hes HUGE and ripped.

vertical: 35
weight: 206

Big 3: 300/440/515

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

Agreed about the tan.
 
But this guy is pretty much my motivation whenever we train together.
 
Although its tough, because when you stand next to him, he makes anyone look tiny!

holy SiHt!!  what do i think?  ur friend has a perfect bod.. minus the tan of course. but that's an easy fix. 

260 lbs?  that's awesome.  he should just maintain now.  he looks great.      maybe one day My bod will look like that.  this is great motivation

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

The best part is, I know this guy personally, and I know that his results are achievable.
 
He is a normal guy who trains really hard, doesnt stop eating and is all natural. I would agree that he has good genetics to go with it, but its inspiring to think that regular guys can reach this level with hard work!

All natural.To me the most impressive words about him.Do you know how many years he's been lifting?

About 7-8 years

Damn..impressive

please let him know i said hly fukn sh!t

ripped, screw the tan, rock the skin brother!!!!

first day with no buds, 11/17, need a new job. 1 down 13 to go.

Has he competed before? Because if not it's time to start! He could walk on stage in less than 4 weeks the way he looks there!

Add me on facebook!

Yeah he is a champion, he has competed in a Military competition before, he did pretty well.
 
I think he will compete again in the future, but I think he is more interested in sports modelling at the moment...  :)
 
I will pass on the kind words, thanks everyone.
 
The main reason I posted this was to show everyone that it is possible to have awesome results through NATURAL hard work
(and how lucky I am to train with this guy)

Yep he has.
 
I know this because, firstly I belive the guy as he is a good friend, but secondly because he has been tested and came up negative

You're either natural or you aren't.  If he did juice 10 years ago he isn't natural.

Nobody is allowed to take them.  It's against the law.

all i can say is that guy is huge!! you cant argue with those results. what are his lifts like?

Current: 19, 5'11", 190@7%

bench:305 squat:370(atg) deadlift:475
Goals: 4plate squat, 5plate dead

"obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"

Last time we trained he was repping like this:
 
Bench: 440
Squat: 440
Deadlift: 550
 
Not sure though, he may have improved on these figures.

they are not allowed but doesn't mean they dont take some. I mean every pro bodybuilder takes steroids ahah.

YOU GOTTA EAT BIG, TO BE BIG!!

Winter Bulk goal:245-250 by dec 31
Current weight: 235

No offense, but i hardly believe its all natural. If so, well, this guy have a blessed genetic and have the best diet discipline ever.
 
Very impressive shape

He has one hell of a good genetic.
I still doubt he is 260 since I personally know a 250 pro bodybuilder.
 
But again, what do I know !
 
Congrats man, he looks awesome legit or not and I so don't care if he is or not. He still has the passion and the discipline and that's enough for me.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

x2 with everything u said. 

It is not the years in your life, but the life in your years.

why everybody obsessed with tanning

Take it easy..i dont think hes callin you retarded, just those who dont/cant see where peoples' genetic limits end and steroid usage starts. Next time ask instead of jumpin right into insults..that says alot about someones character. Hint hint
