Definately give therack chins a try...they don't allow you to use any leg kick to cheatFunny I was watching this today, and kept thinking, man I know this guy from somewhere.

You are really attacking the back there, deadlifts helped my back a lot.....I'm going to try the rack chins those look fun also what was that setting on the ground pulling a triceps rope?

Thanks! I do get the accusations all the time, but I take them all as complimentsI can't beleive more people haven't responded. That is an awesome body for a juicer. Being natural makes it insane. I bet you get haters all the time accusing you of being on steroids.
Thanks man! They got a great response from that video and they are doing a follow up here in a couple of weeks. We're trying to see if they will come to the show and feature that as well. It will be great for Layne, natural bodybuilding, etc...Awesome video, bro! You look great.
As I'm sure you know, you're lucky to have Layne on your side. He seems like a good guy and he definitely knows what he's doing.
Good luck in November!
It certainly is...It's being promoted bigger and better all the time. One of my main priorities with everything that I am doing is to promote natural bodybuilding.It appears Natural Bodybuilding is on the rise. Im happy!=)
Yes, Layne has been great to work with...I have learned SO much in just the short time we've worked together.Hi Tommy,
You are in great hands with Layne. As well you have a great physique all on your own.
What one or two thing would you attribute to your condition in regard to LBM/fat ratio?
At 42yo I have tried many supplements for fat loss as well as LBM yet I can never ever seem to break through my genotype, that being an endo, with some slight slight meso tendencies, to have a superior LBM/fat ratio, regardless of BW.
I am at a point in my life where natural is what is going to keep me healthy long term. And after all if it is to be a lifestyle we need to be sure that there is going to be life to live as opposed to dropping dead talking a talk of a life style walking a walk of counter productive behaviors and supplementation.
So the question I would ask you is, what one or two disciplines do you attribute to your overly and obvious virile and athletic physique?. I assume metabolism and phenotype is quite the advantage, but of diet, cardio, resistance training styles, sleep, or any other aspect of what you bring to the table allows you to be in the shape that you are?
This was just a few thoughts that came to mind after watching your video. I mean I can (could before my injury) DB press 120's, I could bent row a house, I could dead a motor home, yet I have no aspirations to do so anymore and yet feel robbed in a sense that my return is not quite as aesthetically profitable as it has been for you. Are some just phenotypes blessed in that area and others need to come to grips with their natural (or even enhance) phenotype.
You look great and you will surely be a success. I have known Layne (on the boards) for a long time and it is great to see him walk the talk and now help others achieve their aspirations. He has greet character and you are fortunate to keep company with him.
IMO, steroids are a personal choice. I have friends that take them, and that in no way changes my opinion/view about them at all. Who am I to judge? The drug route is just not for me. I had considered it in the past back in '04 when I first started bodybuilding...mainly because I thought they were necessary to compete (I was also ignorant to the world of natural bodybuilding and didn't know it existed at that point). But for me, the legality, the needles, the possible health issues...plus I didn't have time to research them to even be half way intelligent about it...so the ultimate decsion back then was no. And, after finding organizations that do their best to test and keep the drug free route fair, I will never go the drug route. My goal is to be the best natural bodybuilder I can be...and I'm anzious to see just how far my genetics, work ethic, and determination can take me.Do you ever consider leaving the natural route, and what is your take on steroids in general?
Jeff is an IFBB Pro...I have no idea whether or not he has ever claimed natural.I don't know much about natural BB, but what division is Jeff Willet in. That man is a monster for being natural or not.
Thanks, but it's all relative my man...just keep at it and you'll get there!Awesome post man. I respect you, your doing better than me currently at natural bodybuilding!
Thanks! I appreciate you following along!You are an inspiration to say the least.. Keep up the great work!
Yeah I saw him on some internet show and he claimed to be ALL natural, never used steroids in his life. I really don't believe it though. If your an IFBB pro... to get anywhere you must use gear.Jeff is an IFBB Pro...I have no idea whether or not he has ever claimed natural.

True, but you still never really know about people and whether or not they are bull****ting. There are a lot of people that I tell I'm natural that laugh at me and don't believe a word I say. I personally never assume one way or the other, as it doesn't matter to me if someone does, doesn't, or lies about it. If he is natural, great...kudos to him. If not and he lies about it, that's a shame he feels he has to do that.Yeah I saw him on some internet show and he claimed to be ALL natural, never used steroids in his life.
