DK's (temporary) switch to Mens Physique for 2012

[Hosehead]

Sorry man I just don't get the whole thing..training to be smooth, less defined etc..IMO that's so messed up...and don't believe for a second that the winner of the above posted show won on merit of physique alone...there's alot more going on. DK you are perfect for men's classic BB...you have too much work ethic and drive for board shorts and a tan.
P

Yup. I don't get it either. Judging from those two guys in the pics I'd say the key to winning is to stop training legs entirely. Why even bother if you are wearing board shorts? Jersey Shore has taken over bodybuilding. Pathetic. DK has a damn good build for bbing too. If I had his genetics I'd stick with bbing. Shoulders that wide are wasted with board shorts. But best of luck in any endeavours I always say.

Thanks for the input guys. I love bodybuilding, it's where my heart is at. It's funny i'm a man of very few words as my close friends will attest to. If i haven't got anything important to say i just don't say anything. Yet get me talking about bodybuilding and i turn into a motor mouth.

I started working out very young with my Dad and it's been 30 yrs now banging iron. Seeing pics of huge bodybuilders like Arnold and Lou back in the day and later on Flex Wheeler, Shawn Ray, Dorian Yates and so on, i've been hooked and obsessed ever since. My goal was to always look like those guys.

I've managed to achieve a look much like Frank Zane and i'm happy with that big time but the sport has progressed so far beyond that level that to achieve IFBB pro status is ultimately a goal that is unreachable for me.

My competitive spirit drives me to want to achieve the highest levels and Men's physique seems to be a way to get to that level (IFBB pro)

The last 2 weeks changing things up to become softer and losing muscle is so against my nature so i'm stopping that BS and going back to my old training style. Can't wait to hit the gym in a couple hours and kill the weights. Muscle memory will bring me back to where i was quickly and then it's just a matter of losing another 2-3lbs of fat. 3 weeks out today. Bringing the "delts" back in DELTKING.

So now you have a little insight into my psyche.

I am driven to succeed.

Hey DK I think that your approach to go back to your BBing training is the way to go - no need to try to get "soft" or lose size IMO. The way that you'll present yourself as a Physique competitor, in your posing and flexing on stage, will ultimately dictate how successful you'll be.

Go kill it...

I don't think you're too big.

[Delt King]

So 5 days out now. Bodyweight down to 185 and i'm very happy with how everything is turning out. Some final prep to be done to peak properly but nothing drastic this time around.

Curious to see how you will stack up against the competition DK.Looking good.
