Hey BBers...eat your heart out.

[Bob Smith]

This is what happens when what BBers would call a "fat powerlifter" diets down.

In the before picture he is the one all the way to the right with no shirt on.

BTW, this month he benched 750 in competition in nearly the same lean condition.

[THL]

That's impressive.

[TestRip7]

Damn......Very Impressive

[Goku]

how long did it take him to get to that point?

[Bob Smith]

The before picture is at 320 pounds, after at 265. He did it over about a year, but most of the progress was in the final 4-5 months.

I didn't know that had never been posted here. He and his brother are freaks. It's unbelievable how strong those guys are.

Thats why Im posting it.

Yeah, he and his brother are beyond description. The cool thing is that both are really smart, very friendly, and down to earth. And freakishly strong.

[MANWHORE]

I wonder how long it would take me to look like that

[Bigkarch]

750 huh...nice

[Phreezer]

keep in mind guys.. that Dave is a bit of a freak of nature... he's not your typical lifter.. be it BB or PL..

[Grizzly]

That's true, Phreezer, but he does show that the whole "bodybuilding and powerlifting are soooooooo different" shit that gets spewed by assholes like Bobo.....uh, I meant internet gurus...is complete horseshit. Dave went from big fat powerlifter to uber-shredded bodybuilder all while training for powerlifting.

His training remained constant. It is his diet that changed. He doesn't have some enormous waist(because, you know, squats and deadlifts make your waist big ) nor did he do a hundred bazillion curls and pressdowns, yet, he has big, strong, bodybuilderesque arms.

[Bob Smith]

He mentioned that after the Sept meet he would consider doing a BB show. Wonder if he is still thinking of that. It wouldnt take much more for him to get into contest shape. Then he could go and be like Andy Fiedler (a PLer who competed in a BB show), absolutely destroying the competition. I am still amazed at Dave's lower back. Ive never seen any PLer or BBer with spinal erectors so freakin thick.

[Grizzly]

Yeah, they're sick. Absolutely enormous and....just WOW!
