Toney 3 days out - 283 lbs

Ben Pakulski Trains Back 3 Weeks Out from the NY PRO

 

[MrChewiebitums]

why does toney place his hands like that?
I think he`d look just a little wider if he kept his wrists straight as it will push his elbows out a bit more.

edit: thx tkd for the updates <3

Its an old trick to reduce the gap between your lats and bent arms to create an illusion of more sweaping lat spread... not a bad idea for a tall guy with longer limbs... only he is killing the illusion by showing the hands... in the old days BBers used to turn in the fists/wrists and also slip them out of sight from the people in attendence!

Fankhouser has definitely made a lot of improvements even though he is still lacking.

But it then (imo) creates the ilusion of not being as wide as he can possibly appear

i suppose its the illusion i refered to vs the illusion you did.


----------------

Fankhouser`s midsection looks VERY long and is too eye grabbing for his upper body .. what do you guys think?
When ever i look at that picture my eyes automatically want to move to his midsection..
Still needs more biceps, he should inject a bit of synthol(assuming he hasnt already) because clearly they are a big problem for him

Toney Freeman... if only BB contests were decided on pictures from Cell Phone Cameras!!!!

 

[mvsf1]

^^ He would be beaten by Dennis James if contest were decided by one week out digital camera pics!

 

[MrChewiebitums]

we can throw in Luke Wood then.
You should check out his photos before his last contest which he horribly fucked up

Fankhouser`s midsection looks VERY long and kind of overpowers his upper body.. what do you guys thing?

To achieve the illusion you were thinking of... BBers lean back & towards the crowd

And Frankhouser does have long midesection but what makes it worse is his high Pectorals that lack width and "flare"

I agree but its not much of a problem. Notice how low his shorts are, they make his torso look longer, When his back gets bigger it he will look fine because his legs are huge and not particularly short so he still has a good (while exaggerated) illusion.

but then the trapezius appears underdeveloped since it will appear to protrude less from the top part near the neck

[MrChewiebitums]

lets face it.
How many BBers with horrible weak points EVER brought them up to a level where they are no longer classified as a weakness?
Name them.
His biceps are REALLY REALLY small, not even if somehow he did manage to bring them up, it would take a year and a half minimum to get to an acceptable level... they are just that small compared to the rest of his arm.


Go and ask flex, dex, Ruhl and Martinez (just to name a few) why they ended up using it.

Yeah, it's true if you mean the last contest he did before retiring.

Wolf updates

May 4, 2010


Third day of carb depleting; I am very tired. Tomorrow afternoon we will start the carb-loading. I am napping a lot; when you don't have any carbs in your body, you really don't feel like doing anything.

I feel good, very confident; just the body is tired right now. Last weekend in Pittsburgh was good; everything was where it needed to be. Once we do the carb-loading, we will see how my shape is, then make any last adjustments if necessary.

Not really heavy training now, just doing a full-body routine the last two days after legs on Sunday. Just trying to maintain everything, not really work myself too hard. Then after my last workout tomorrow afternoon, the carb-loading will begin. Thursday carb-loading all day, and then Friday it's just small meals to keep my strength. You have to be sure everything is just right, and try to get it perfect.


As I said, I am very confident. I think this is the best I've looked before a show, and this weekend should be a very good one.

^^
