Darin Steens Bodybuilding Drug Free Cronus Gods' of The Stage

[sexygeri1]

your amazing

[scottrambo2483]

Overall very good, need to bring ur glutes, and hams up though, you would look better with a smaller abdomen

[smog1818]

work on those quads =D

[AlexScottFitness]

looking good darin the only comments I can make are maybe a bit more shoulders and a better V taper for the waistline, you have a great chest and great lats!

[chrishondamx]

In all seriousness why if your undies all the way up your ass cheeks?

[Khachik2003]

roids

[fatlosslifestyle]

I am shooting my 5 week out video today and will post it tonight. Thanks so much for telling me about my week points. Since you have told me I have; improved my hamstring size and shape, my chest size and definition, and my posing. So stay tuned tonight and give me some more feedback. Do not blow smoke at me either.

Your Coach,

[funkrock27]

You're at where you need to be. Just bring it on home.

[counterstryke]

Hamstrings.

I'm so sorry I didn't tell you this from 10 weeks out.

Wish I had said something earlier.

[jRedTree85]

Your arms and obliques are your best features, so your side poses look great. The biggest holes in your physique seem to be your hamstrings, calves, and lats.

[MrHunkDirty]

Nice ass.

[mickeysymbiose]

Arms and legs needs to get bigger!! (your calves are good though)..

And.. More deadlift for that lower back..!!! ..Also more width on the shoulders..!

..Keep working hard, and best of luck to you :)

(And yes, you got a great body, but there's still work to be done)

[PECTOR1]

Chicago grows bodybuilders like you and Lance Dreher.  Cool. Suggest that you fine tune your mandatory poses so that you are optimally visible to the judges and audience. Watch placement of arms in double bis, legs in side legs, etc. changing foot stance may make hams look bigger.

[tronvex]

Looking good Darin, awesome back definition

[freddy692000]

Darin i am seraching for a video u made recently that u said have pre-workout supps u are using something about "gigo-boliba"? can u give me the link or tell me the supps again?

[supererick]

Darin, I see a great improvement!.... In my humble opinion i don't know if is the poses but you are not showing strength in your forearms. God luck man

[royboymn]

Awesome improvement. Great inspiration!



[cygermetz2]

Darin, your calves should be a little wider. I noticed you have your left leg turned a little so your calves show. They should be pointed straight in front. Find some exercies that will give them with. Rick M

[fatlosslifestyle]

Six weeks from this Sat. I will be on stage as a "Drug Free For Life" bodybuilder with the Worlds Best. Then 5 weeks after that I will be competing in The Cronus - Gods of The Stage in the biggest professional "Drug Free" contest in the history of the world. I am coming out of retirement. I have not competed in 5 years. Thanks so much for your feedback!!! I am in the best shape of my life!!!! Your Comments have helped me sooo much!!

[bihothard]

@fatlosslifestyle

The legs just don't match up to the upper body.

[davethedm]

@fatlosslifestyle Why were you not in the Cronus?

[ThePaulWog]

I could only imagine how much of a monster you'd be if you were to take roids. You'd blow the competition out of the water no contest.

That said, that's why it's called cheating; I just think if you cheated, you'd be the best of the cheaters :-D

So my comment is really getting at this: You have taken clean bodybuilding to an amazing level. What's the point of looking good and getting big if you sacrifice your health and other important things to do with size... Good stuff Darin.

[timbrandon94]

I want to get body like you have right now

[mean71cuda]

tighten up that core and bring out those hamstrings and i think ur just about there :D

[clarkhome777]

Your my idol man

[fatlosslifestyle]

Great feedback. I will follow your advice. I have 6 more weeks. Do you think I can make my hamstrings and calves grow in 7 weeks?

I do

Your Coach,

darin

[payne140]

More hams D! Looking better by the day

[DJJENKO]

@fatlosslifestyle ..........followed you for a while darin. and my training and results has so so improved from watching your vids.....on diet to training tips to motivation. was sad to hear you say you and your wife have split up. but good that you have bounced back. i love the energy you put in people even the way you have your own successful business is enough to inspire. i go with what the guys are saying your hamstrings need work. keep it up mate. kind regards David from liverpool uk

[redeyeddawn]

There are plenty who no more concerning particulars of muscle aesthetics than me. But I do think the legs are a tad small in comparison to the wings. Damn good job though.

I wonder how much experience and wisdom would have helped when you were first starting out?

Do natural bodybuilders incorporate any significant training for sprints and explosive running?

[georgesbackyardgym]

At this stage how much can you grow its all about defining your muscle you have and getting leaner and showing all your cuts. More Arnie posers and its all about deception and angles, good work

[jaboipell]

you need to develop your left abs

[ems5429]

I've been keeping up with your progress over the past few weeks , it has encouraged me to push harder on my goal ( and so far so good ) I wont say good luck I don't believe in it all luck is ... preparation and hard work meeting with opportunity and your there already Man . I can't wait to see you win your gonna do it !

[PaceWinger15]

Okay Darin ! Lunges on Smith Machine for Hamstring , Glutes and Quad definition + size . Calves should be trained to get that better definition ! Tricep needs more attention and last but not at least lower back ! Good luck and hope you get into the first 3 competitors !

[addohm]

Quads are looking better, but not great. Hamstrings still are your biggest downfall by far and large.

[fatlosslifestyle]

Wow, thanks for all the feedback on this "True 12 Week Trip To The Title" video series. Your feedback on my progress of becoming one of the "Top 3" Pro Drug Free For Life Bodybuilders in invaluable. I used 2 ideas this last week in my leg training that worked very good. Can you guys guess which one of you gave me the "Training tips"? Comment below? and Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

[jer07734]

work on - abs, hams, glutes, traps... everything else coming along nicely

[wcub4]

Need more legs, more triceps, more shouders, more calves, more of those neck muscles.

Chest is a bit too big imo, so I wouldn't focus on that.

The 2 biggest area's to improve are on legs and back imo.

[deriktutt]

You're doing a great job Darin. Keep up the good work. Work your legs out intensely!

[steviealaniz]

@MrProstar You're an idiot through and through my friend.

@fatlosslifestyle Lookin sick for 7 weeks out! That bicep peak is killer, and tri's are thick during side poses. Pecs look a little more solid as well. Looks like a little more leg sweep would offset that slightly thick waist nicely, but theres no reason you shouldn't dominate, especially GAYne Norton. I've recently lost about 75 lbs and would like to compete one day, but now I'm stuck with some loose skin, any tips?

[jennyhahahaha]

work more on the abs and legs! love your body :)) nice work!

[maskman6969]

oh my goodness man!!!! you look so good! the only thing i’d say is the abs but i already know the story! good job man!!!

[debordp]

Need more peak on the right arm. More calves. Otherwise looking real strong.

[jetsetweb]

still need to do some ass crunches!

[macarari]

great improvement on abss!!! great workk

[Pla426]

Not bad at 7 weeks out. You need to start attacking the bodyfat a bit more aggressively, and it seems your legs and lower back love to hold water. I agree with the outer quad recommendation. You are an inspiration and I wish you all the best.

[DerTeke]

You look awesome, man... Legs could be better but they are ok.

May i ask, you you train your abs?

[dorrystalkerkilla]

That so great that u changed so much in just 7 weeks. ur legs r looking better.just keep up the hard work and achieve ur goal.

[caesarboxing]

Your looking ALOT BETTER! Much more leaner and defined. Lats are better. I don't know what the pose is called but at 0:27 seconds I find is your best pose.

Hope that helps. YOUR DOING AMAZING

Cheers from the U of T Athletic Department

[poppy1548]

massive improvement since the lat clip your legs are starting to come through a lot more well done darin keep it up



[SParkApCider]

you look great...I'd define the calves more!

[kittybookitty]

Such a huge improvement in the definition since I saw you last, that was like a month ago. I'm no expert, but I would say that your right glute looks smaller than your left so maybe work on that.

your shoulders and arms look great. legs look defined as well. you can do anything you want to do.

rooting for you, Darin!

[TheFreshbum]

Hands down, this is what I work out for, this is what I diet for and this is what I've changed my whole life for: to look like this.

It's a lifestyle that will give your life more quality (hard to understand if you haven't experienced it yet)

Thanks for the inspiration Darin

[express375]

Your legs are starting to come out,but your not making the most of them when posing.

Sometimes,you can really see the definition.The top half seem to care of it's self.Getting ripped!

[bigtonutz]

hams and glutes have to come in a bit tighter. more sweep on the quads. but you look great man. good luck and all the best

[vonok4ec]

HAMSTRINGS MAN and QUAD WIDHT (outer head of the quads); Maybe you should do front squats with a closer stance and leg press also with closer stance to hit that outer head of the quads. Good luck, man !

[fatlosslifestyle]

@vonok4ec Hey Von, Thanks so much for the reminder. Thanks for watching this video series "The True 12 Week Trip to The Title". I am going to start on your recommendation today. I have 7 weeks till show time, so that means only 5 more leg work outs.

Your coach,

Darin Steen (Drug Free Body / LIfe Builder

[vonok4ec]

@fatlosslifestyle yeah, glutes are looking good too, but hamstrings need more size in the side poses, and in the front poses - the outer sweep of the thighs will really complimend your upper body. So my suggestion would be - do front squats, leg presses and hack squats with a really close stance to hit the outer quads. Btw, your bones look thick man, but you look like a meso to me - are you somewhere between endo/meso ?

[vonok4ec]

@fatlosslifestyle I started cutting 2 weeks ago, man, and I'm using your tips. I'm losing fat really fast (i'm ecto/meso) and I'm really looking forward to seeing the veins on my abs once again. GOOD LUCK AGAIN, MAN ! Hope you get in the top 3 !

[MrProstar23]

@fatlosslifestyle your obviously on steroids no trainer at any local gym never looks like that

[mkl5]

@vonok4ec  I agreed with u 100 percent!!!

[TheWanderingSaint]

Aren't a bodybuilders thighs be almost as bis as his waist?

[anujbahl]

legs bro, hams look like they need work. I think legs is where the natural guys can't attain what the juicers do. what's around your ankle? is that a house arrest ankle monitor?

[fatlosslifestyle]

@anujbahl i agree on the juicers thing. The band around my ankle is an energy bracelet from EnergyCare Usa.

Thanks for your feed back on this "True 12 Week Trip To The Title" on my quest of being one of the Top Three Drug Free Body Builders in the World.

Your Coach,

Darin Steen

[MrProstar23]

@fatlosslifestyle you always bring up bodybuilding acting like its more inportant then cardio cardio burns more fat then muscle burns fat so try promoting cardio a little more

[MrProstar23]

@fatlosslifestyle your on steriods so its not that impressive to stand infront of a camera and pose when you built yourself off using steriods

[kataywala]

GreAT IMPrOVEMENT KEEP It UP~

[dazi4131]

one biceps is smaller and lower back could do some improvement

[Hydrov1s1onTec]

If u really r steriod n hgh free, u sir r a man among boys. Your delts are incredibly defined. I agree with the others on your abs being your weak point, but u more than make up for it everywhere else. It gives me motivation to see drug free body builders get to your level. It makes me happy with my choice to stay drug free as well in my quest to build. You got this competition!!! B3A$T!

[H3lp1ngYou]

im 17 just stared gym ive gotta say you are my inpiration ive started at 120kg mostly fat but with my strict diet i think one day i can be as great as u

[pomx8]

I just realized your abs are not symmetrical ... im guessing its because of the cancer you had =(

[nuttalljp]

Blast those hams and abs and your great!

[BeasltyFry]

On your front Lat spread, make sure ur pinky's are up, brings out the Brachialradialis ...And all of your back poses, make sure ur up on BOTH of your toes of both feet, even though your showing off the closes one to the judges ur front calf still needs to not be relaxed, u look awesome, and ur going to blow them away.

[subxpert786]

a lot better than last vid, just get the abs more defined man, great work

[TheHio123]

your abs are your weak point,

[Slychiller]

Darin you look great, and you seriously changed my life, I'm 17 years old and within the past month, following your videos, I went from 256 to 225, thank you Darin!!

[fatlosslifestyle]

@Slychiller That is great dude. I am so glad you changed your body and your life from my inspiration. That makes me so happy dude!! Can you send us progress pictures?

Your coach,

darin

[fatlosslifestyle]

@Slychiller Great job Slychiller, I am so glad that you were so inspired and informed from this video series that you were able to take control of your body, lifestyle, and life!!

[Slychiller]

@fatlosslifestyle thanks Darin, and hopefully, if I need any advice, I hope I can come to you, if that's ok, because again, I am only 17, haha

[crazzy2351174]

legs

[ultimatebajan1]

Great work Darin!

[ultimatebajan1]

Hams and calves. Almost perfection.

[brnboy8002]

need more legs

[electronichell]

Definitely more work on legs..

[vanillarice1]

A little more legs, but other than that I don't see any major weak points. You'll look great as you continue to drop bodyfat.

[RichsWorldLive]

PUMP THEM CALVES! KEEP IT GOING DARIN! YOUR GONNA BLOW THE JUDGES AWAY!

[whatsupbrabra]

hamstrings, other then that you look like a human ironman

[Rockforce80]

legs getting better, but are still your weak spot, hamstrings being more so than the front.

But big improvement for sure. keep it up Darin!

[petrifeyed]

hamstrings hamstrings hamstrings

[BodyByBrendan]

your upper body is totally ripped and looks awesome but in contrast, you need more definition in your quads and ham strings. Coming together nicely. You have plenty of time to get it all together. I love the definition in the arms. Looks awesome!

[KingRockets]

HAMSTRINGS AND CALVES DARIN!!!! cmooonn maate, almost there!!! push it!! make us proud!!!

[adambarbaro1]

Legs and maybe triceps.

[Khachik2003]

delts, CALVES, abs, lower bf%. Looking great though man

[mckricks1]

work on the hamstrings

[lollingbowling]

well honestly more ripped for sure and your thighs are coming along. ok ya your biceps are king. 1 mid section more ripped. 2 back of thighs bigger but your legs are more defined. Calves not bad but more ripped. And honestly your upper body is very nice! Dont get me wrong your hammys not bad bit if you want to win more. My guess is if you get them more ripped the judges will like them.

[TomStick91]

you need more work on your legs in general, but mainly the hamstrings is a MUST work on

[obviouslylee]

Looking better every week my man. Keep it up. Again, critique: Those legs! They look good, but your upper body is so devastatingly good, that it over shadows your legs, you need to Fill them out and cut them up as much as possible before the show. They count for a lot, as you know. Best of luck.

[allmotorhash]

abs calfs

[MUFFINTOPHERO]

Work on abs

[carterjamarris]

Is there a reason why only three of your abs are visible?

[TomStick91]

@carterjamarris He had his left kidney removed when he was a child.

[KnightSmurf2011]

thumbs up you really look good keep up the good work

[Amiel912]

Your legs still needs work.

[Amiel912]

Your right bycep needs work. The left one is much bigger.

[aurelius99]

Arnold pose at 3:14 is devastating. What a fabulous photo that would make. Mike

[aurelius99]

You are a total god, Darin. Head to toe! Excellent posing, too.

[superherc21]

Looking good man. Its coming along nicely. Whats your carb intake looking like now?

[CastingStonez]

Hammy's are coming in nice, Grisilis is lookin GOOOOD... nice separation starting in the glute to hammy, and Lats are phenominal...

LOOKIN GREAT DARIN... LOOKIN GREAT...

[iLikeNachooooz]

need a little more definition on the abbs, from a distance they're.. ''cluttered''.

bices are very nice, hamstrings need some more work, maybe calfs a tad bit more but definately those hamstrings.

[TomStick91]

@iLikeNachooooz I don't think he can help it because of the left kidney that was removed.

[iLikeNachooooz]

@TomStick91

ow didn't know that, hamstrings/calfs only then. :)

[kier06]

thighs lookin much better, hams lookin much better. poses are good! i think youve brought your body up alot where its needed...now i think your in for a real shot of taking the title!!!

[rockcheesetermite]

hamstrings a bit

[FF9MovieMaker]

impressive. especially for drug free. takes a lot of dedication. I don't really get why someone would want to get that ripped because ripped skin looks dehydrated. no offence, just how ive always seen it. i respect what youve done

[patellaman]

You're looking like a machine Darin :) Terminator here we come! haha

[Teenssj2]

Awesome improvements to the upper pecs Darin :D hamstrings are looking much more defined. Now all is left is the galf area and à little bit more width ON those already monsterous lats and you'll be à god Good luck buddy:)

[twopinacoladas]

You are looking good very impressive for a drug free body builder. I don't know enough to critique or anything but with the tan the lighting and everything I don't think its any stretch to say this is the best I have seen you looking so far. Keep up the hard work hopefully it will pay off.

[wmontano8]

definite improvement in your lower body Your upper and lower body seem to be in sink with eachother, Darin your starting to look like you were carved out of stone, great job as always

your boy, Will

[IK03dUo]

trolololololololololol
