Great workouts Kleen, and your progress pics show noticeable change!
Vid is impressive as hell.
Thanks Monte! Lots of pushing right now, diet has remained on point and training is very productive.Getting closer by the day.....amazing changes since the start but it's too be expected with the Kleen Machine
Thanks Kenpo! That is the goal, trying to hold as much mass as possible while getting leaner is a longer process then a full on cut but it is worth it in the end.Kleen is getting more ripped by the day. Comparing these pics to those early on really shows the work and dedication. It's like the sculpture that shows a chiseled body coming out of a block of stone. Congrats and keep it going!
Damn kleen getting lean pretty quick!
That's impressive.
Def leaning out buddy. I'd say you're right on track. I like what you and Matty are doing bud. Keeping up. Oh and gotta love the honey dos
Chris can do just what he likes with his body, just needs to set his eye on the prize, expect rapid changes...
you need some motivation? just come to kleen's log :yup:
one question tho bro:
that first update pic from the 27th..weight shows 2011.2lbs..what kind of damn weight gainer are you using?
:jaw:
Haha I have really been working on muscle density. Very impressive isn't it.you need some motivation? just come to kleen's log :yup:

That's awesome Snag
that's FINAFLEX bro!
extremely generous company, dedicated to their consumers! :cool2:
This is definitely an awesome promo here! I can't wait to see the progress that the prizes inspire!
I am getting ready to go to the gym here shortly, first time in almost a week. I am so hungry for it right now. Just waiting for my food to settle before I head in.
Thanks Dan!Ridiculous vascularity my friend.
Not too bad for being sick all week.Good grief
Yeah I do direct arm work this is my issue for certain, my arms are just over 17.5 flexed with no pump. I have been training them but they seem to be stuck. Unfortunately along with that my back is so damn wide and thick and grows without any real effort so they get completely overshadowed by my back.The back shreds quick! Lookin good sofar brother. Calve vascularity is narly too. Are you doing any direct arm work? They seem to be behind a bit.
Gracias!...you are a big dude..
Thanks Snagslookin great! :cool2:
super impressed with the wheels, veins are silly, quads stacked..good work
Working on it.Looking sharp kleen, now let's get sharper!
Yeah they are definitely starting to come out.Some real nice improvements there kleen. Can see them abs poking through
AMEN on the light weights.Looks great Kleen. It's amazing what can be done with diet and a few light weights. LMAO
Turtle Back, that is awesome! I have never heard that one before. Thanks, and not sure that I would say I am looking better than you but I will definitely take that as a major compliment. As far as my arms I really feel I need solid 18-18.5 which is what most people my size have at this body fat. However I would venture to say my arms are a lot leaner than most guys holding as much fat as I am in the stomach. My arms won't shrink much so hopefully I can still have at least 17.5 inches on stage even 10-15 lbs from now. I did mention to Matt I wanted to focus a bit more on my arms to get them growing along with my medial and rear delts. I feel I can just do some maintenance on my back and chest while concentrating on those areas but I think Matt is planning a way for me to grow them more while pushing the limits on the shoulders and arms. I will say from the back though I can definitely see that my rear delts have come up.Looking awesome brother no doubt. A bit of the Marc Loblliner syndrome with the turtle back overpowering the arms. Still look better then me so I can't say much
Thanks Jeff, things are going surprisingly well considering I am just coming off an illness.That back double bi shot is insane. Your back is always so damn impressive. Legs are looking vascular and beastly. Nice work can definitely see you leaned up.
Rick! Nice to have you in the log. I am giving this one a bit of hell but am taking notes from a coach this time around. Some very interesting dietary modulation going on that keeps me on my toes.Long time no see, good friend! Ive returned to take some notes from the master, and offer my support!
15sec negative....
Def looking great Chris! What do attribute your monster back to? Genetics? I know you work your ass off but I'm just curious. Keep at it. Boss body at work. Cannot wait to see the final package .
Alright back again this time it was a pull day.
Took 1 scoop IGNITE 2, 1 scoop Creatrona, one scoop Apple BCAA SAA in pre workout mix upon rising and then another scoop of BCAA SAA in my water bottle and went of to the gym. Was majorly energized by the time I got into the gym.
Tempo 2-0-1, Reps 3-5 on compounds and 6-8 on isolation, 90 seconds rest
Wide Grip Weighted Pull Ups - BWx5, BW+10 x5, BW+25 x4, BW+25 x3 - This was pretty hard, I have not done wide grip pull ups in a long time.
Barbell Bent Over Rows - 135x5, 225x5, 275x4 - I had not done these in a while too and was decently impressed with 4 reps at 275 considering the 2 second negatives.
Bent Over DB Dead Stop Rows 80x8, 90x8, 110x8 - again numbers are looking very solid. I can't complain at all about them.
Face Pulls - 130x8, 140x8, 150x8 - These felt great, a bit challenging to post up to do them at the 140 and 150 but felt great on the rear delts.
Barbell Curls - 135x5, 135x4, 135x3 - Man these were really hard especially the last reps of the second and 3rd set and required a little body english to get to the top but the 2 second negatives were very strict. This is much heavier lifting than I have been doing for biceps.
DB Curls - 45x5, 40x8, 40x5, 35x6 - Biceps were just toasty by this time. Was a great workout.
Crunches - 15 reps with 2 second negatives every 15 seconds for 5 minutes. Man talk about abs burning. One of the bricks in my upper abs got cramped up at the end, lets me know I was killing them.
Matt just changed up my macros a bit, I am back to 250 grams of carbs a day every day for a little bit. Protein came down a tiny bit to adjust for the calories. I think things are going really well.
Idk if this has been answered but what class are you planning on competing in?
And do you know how much tickets to the show will be?
I live about 3 hours away from Houston so I could POSSIBLY make it out there depending on school and such.
Next year I should time my trip to see my brother-in-law in Houston (Kingwood) around this event!
Who knows man. Next year we still might have a Freak competing :hammer:
That's me onbb curls too, those negatives will bring tears to your eyes... one of the most beneficial ways to get it done though...
That would be awesome! I think the tickets are $25 unless going to VIP tables. As far as the class if you mean weight class I would have to be a light heavy weight, I can't see myself coming in under 176 lbs or over 198. I will most likely do the Open and the Masters.Idk if this has been answered but what class are you planning on competing in?

Definitely but Houston area has a lot of shows too so you could go to many of them.Next year I should time my trip to see my brother-in-law in Houston (Kingwood) around this event!
Who knows man. Next year we still might have a Freak competing :hammer:
