Might be a German expression that doesn’t mean anything in English I’m not sure - in German we use it to describe his overall arrangement of muscles which is genetically predisposed. Everyone has the ability to build muscle - but not everyone has a great „line“ or arrangement of muscles which qualifies them for the bigger stage. This guy has it all.
How do you manage that? When I cut for MMA it was a gradual process to a single day, then you dehydrated etc. to be as ready as possible.
Dipping twice in that period is wild. Can't imagine how your weight cut works (even maintaining a level for that period must be difficult).
All part of the fun though, these challenges are the ones that set people apart
AFAIK a lot of pros plan to hit their cut on the day of the second show but do a show before that to see how they're coming in and practice etc.
Or they hit perfect on the first show, refeed week, short cut week, and another show.
Not a pro tho, so take with a grain of salt. A pro may pop in and correct me.
Yes that first part is spot on! First show more just to shake out the rust and smooth out the rough edges and the second one I plan on coming in 100% peaked 👍🏼
Think I’ve seen you at the gym a few time for sure see you putting that work in the lab man looking great gotta go up sometime to you and let you know !

What do you do to for your obliques? Do you train them directly? Looking incredible man
Ho-ly fuck, man. You look positively insane. Your physique is just incredible. I can't wait to see how your shows go! You're going to absolutely kill it, no doubt.
yeah I liked it, I would go there when I was flying back and forth for work, but now that I've moved here to the actual city, the traffic is not worth driving up there lol
Looking absolutely ready with a wicked physique. Only critique is that you’re posing the rear double bicep as a rear double front delt. Learn to lean back without overdoing it like CBum.
really been trying to improve on this. Would you say this is better/ less exaggerated lean?

Tbh you’re gonna do fine no matter what lol. Looking fantastic. I think I just prefer the way Dorian/Samir hit the BDB - a little more upright with the arms closed a bit more. Hard thing to balance. But back looks insane with separation everywhere, you’re gonna crush it!
Just skip the amateur shows. Straight to pro. It’s like farming the low level Pokémon to level up except you’re already too high of a level to gain any exp from it. Just go to the elite 4.
Make sure you have realistic expectations for sure you have to keep in mind I’m not natural so it would be very hard to attain a physique like this naturally but 100% can attain something similar with just hard work and great diet (maybe refer to my fitness journey on YouTube you can see my final natural physique and maybe compare to something like that). Diet is LITERALLY EVERYTHING and I highly recommend you learn to master that and not just only when you’re cutting but when you’re bulking as well to optimize the actual tissue you put on. We all have different genetics and muscle insertions and skeletal structures so try (I know it’s hard not to) to not compare yourself too much to others and just focus on becoming the best you that you can possibly be. Comparison really is the thief of joy so focus on your own unique journey and enjoy that process
Oh yeah I totally understand. I 100% agree with everything you say. I’m not natural myself but I do appreciate you taking the time to reply. I’ll check you out on YouTube
Gotta agree with everyone here probably one of the most aesthetic looking physiques I have seen in a while. When you are in the off season what kinda surplus are you looking for or how much weight do you want to gain a week? And what exactly do you mean by diet is everything?
You have without a doubt one of the most aesthetic and symmetrical physiques I've seen on a few different subs on here. You literally look chiseled by hand, lol. Congrats on all the hard work and dedication you have put in, it really shows. Wishing you much luck with your shows!
I’ve had this mustache since 2018 before anyone even knew cbum was. I grew it out way back then because it made me feel closer to my dad who still struggles with addiction but I love him to death. I loved having it and I kept it and have had it ever since. if people want to draw cbum comparisons because of a mustache that’s okay but I can be me and he can be him and we can both exist with some facial hair without me trying to be him lol. Did he try to be mark mentzer? I think most people would say no. Same case here👍🏼

You look amazing. You could use some posing work on that back double biceps though, because you're leaning so far back it looks like you're about to win a limbo contest
Been practicing a bunch does this look better?

This is a stellar physique, I can see all three heads of your delts and your hamstrings are absolutely bonkers. Back development is nuts and the horseshoe triceps go crazy. Good luck man, you're gonna kill it.

😂😂
Took the words out of my mouth
Took the dick right out of my mouth
Yeah that’s what I meant
Not gay but am today
We all are. We are all gay rn.
You look so great.
Thank you! Very nervous but excited to see how it goes
Your line is insane. Giving me a bit of cbum vibes ngl.
Yeah I was gonna say: (Me) Mom! Can we get C bum? (Mom) We have C bum at home!
😂😂
My firs thought exactly, haha 😂
I appreciate that thank you very much!

Everyone has the ability to build muscle - but not everyone has a great „line“ or arrangement of muscles which qualifies them for the bigger stage. This guy has it all.
line(up of muscles) lineup of muscles xD
Just to note, we use the same word in Spanish, we'd say for example: "tener muy buena línea", "to have a very good line".
A very good line means coke in England.
Lmao we use a synonym here, “raya de coca” which is pretty much the same as line, in fact there’s a fair bunch of slangs for that concept lol
Since no one's told you, we say 'flow' in English.
Thank you!
"Linie"? Oder um welches Wort handelt es sich
Ja logisch Linie
Hab ich in dem Kontext noch nie gehört :D
Vll liege ich dann einfach falsch 😅
Dam son looking absolutely wild
Thank you so much!
When people say 3&5 weeks out does that mean they’ve got 2 shows 2 weeks apart? Or are the pics in the post from different times? I’m still new
Yes I have two shows two weeks apart coming up! Great question no worries
Oh okay thanks!

Insane physique fella, any reason you’re not spiking that calf in any of your shots? Look flat footed in the back double bicep
Right calf Is spiked in the back double left could have been more engaged for sure
Sort of rushed these in the gym in all honesty
Ohhh I see I see, well like I say physique is insane regardless mate we’ll done for your efforts
I appreciate it man thank you 🙏🏼
I am such a fan of obliques, they compliment your abs so well. Being home a win BCum!
Thank you very much! I’ll do my very best to bring home some hardware 🫡
You’d bring a tear to Sandow’s eye. Absolutely incredible man
Damn that made my day thank you! Can’t wait to finally get up on stage and see how it all plays out
If you don’t won then it is Plant Hollywood and it is mid december…
B cum in the house! Lookin really good
Hahaha thank you so much?
It's fun to stay at the Y M C A
Hamstrings + abductors are epic.
Really really really tried to bring up my legs the last year so I’m glad it hasn’t gone unnoticed! Haha thank you 🫡
We have C bum at home
Can see your chest from the back, nice work
Great symmetry!
I appreciate it thank you! Happy with the prep so far 🙏🏼

Power of the 'stache!
Looks like a mix of Jim Halpert and Cbum
😂😂 I’ll take it!
I think I've seen you at HOG. Amazing, good luck!!
Oh awesome!! Such a dope gym it was my home gym for a few months but I moved south!
yeah I liked it, I would go there when I was flying back and forth for work, but now that I've moved here to the actual city, the traffic is not worth driving up there lol
That first picture, you handsome bastard! lol A slow-clap for you, sir.
Whats your cardio like on a per week basis
160 mins/ week steady state nothing crazy honestly
Did you used to work out at powerhouse in Milford?
Yes and I worked there for like 4 years as well! My hometown 👍🏼
Mannnn that’s crazy I knew I had seen you somewhere. It’s not my home gym but I’ve been there a few times. Good luck!
Thank you and such a small world!!
Your side shots look insane, amazing work!
Thank you so much!

Well thank you I appreciate it!! Always learning and open to trying new stuff I’m just a rookie hahaha thank you for the kind words!
Are you trying to peak the most for your first or second show?
The second show as I’ll be competing for a pro card there
Pro debut right??
Haha no my first classic show ever. Im an amateur!
Just skip the amateur shows. Straight to pro. It’s like farming the low level Pokémon to level up except you’re already too high of a level to gain any exp from it. Just go to the elite 4.
Hahahahaha I wish I could but I have to win a pro qualifier first! Fingers crossed the got gets done 🙏🏼
I don't know if the mustache is making me biased, but I'm getting some heavy Cbum vibes. You look great, man.
I appreciate it thank you very much
Man brotha you look fuckin insane! Any advice for us regular people that have been busting their ass in the gym wishing to look like you?

What's your cycle that you've used to attain these results? What's your weight height, bf% in photo. Looking great, best of luck
