some people are saying he doesnt look and good, first off he is 46, your body isnt like it was when youre 35 years old, and secondly he is juice free. u just cant look as impressive without them, usually because u cant achieve the same size, but thats life. if u compare darin to every other 46 year old he is in 20 times better shape than 99% of the male population. GOOD WORK DARIN
Congrats, evidently you did a great job, and thank you for putting yourself out there so unselfishly and for sharing your journey with us. I'm a fellow Chicagoan!
Alright there! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (search on google)? Ive heard some decent things about it and my auntie got amazing 6 pack abs and lost a truck load of of fat with it.
hey hey! Have you ever tried - fast abs magic (google it)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker got ripped Six pack abs and lost a truck load of of belly fat with it.
Hi! Have you ever tried - fast abs magic (do a google search)? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my GF got really defined 6 pack abs and lost lots of weight with it.
you can always tell when a guy is natural they neva have every bodypart on point they always have weaknesses somewhere...and not looking all polished :D
@jytyjyj the fuck are u talking about idiot, this guy may be natural right now but he clearly went on the juice for years at some point in his life, look at all that loose skin, 200+ lb and looks like a midget; Also hes just in poor condition, way too much fat for a competition.
Some feedback I would give is to work on the definition of your calves a little in order to add that oomph to your display. It would help to compliment the upper half you have worked so well on.
Ok I know this is a bit late from your contest. Im a bodybuilder for years, won many contest mostly in the chicago area but the years that I have been a bodybuilder I have not seen anyone like you, at 46 years old drug free. keep it up bro!
Absolutely amazing. You are an inspiration and you prove that if you are determined you can be healthy and fit at any age. Win or lose you are a winner because you did it drug free. Great role model for the younger generation. Thanks for all the videos on achieving a healthy positive lifestyle.
i thought it was pretty dam awsome but i would focus on being a little more fluid like and a little less stiff during the transition to the final pose.
Yes I must agree you look great, especially for your age. Upper body extremely cut, lower body needs to be more cut. It is harder at that age, but I KNOW you can do it. Once you get the lower body more cut you will be unstoppable. :) You are a great motivation sir.
i started watching all your videos about a month ago i really like how you speak the truth and explain everything really clearly about what to eat and whats best. I am currently deployed so i only have about an hour a day to work out but I learned from you how to eat right so even one hour a day is enough. It would be great if you can make a video/s that shows a good workout in 1 hour. like one hour of chest workouts, 1 hour of back workouts, and arms. That would really be cool. Thanks.
good job man, very impressive especially given your age and all natural !
I would say your back is really strong and your side poses are really good too. You mentioned this in the video and i think your legs do need to be a bit harder. Great work Darin
Great to hear you express your power and hard work. silent posing alone wont win you the trophy. Lets hear it louder. Darin. Also green posers would compliment your skintone.
Congratulations Darin - fantastic job. I hope you will post some video of the contest - would love to see how it all came together at show time. Great work!
Your looking crazy ripped bro. looking real good keep up the hard work! I think a little more hamstring definition would be good but apart from that your in amazing shap!
Hey Man; Great job.. obviously. It might be the lighting but everything looks clean except the hamstrings at the moment, Try and tighten them but.like I said it could be the lighting.
- I can even see striations in the triceps themselves @ 1:08 that is a good shot you should use/hold that!
- In general, you got some great arms. That bicep peak, especially on your left arm, is huge. Show that off a bit when on stage!
- Very nice christmas tree as well
- I don't know what it is with your legs, honestly. The mass is there, but somehow the legs seem to still hold quite some fat/water, while upper body=ripped. I don't get it.
Maybe it's also the video compression making the legs look not as ripped as they are in reality. I just don't get it. Furthermore: nice tan. Nice and balanced.
One big tip: 2:08 your favourite pose, your left lat is not coming out to the side enough. This makes it look a-symmetrical, make sure it comes out as far as possible, like your right lat.
P.S. I'm not a judge, I'm way smaller than you, but if I can see it, judges can too :) Just saying. At last: Best of luck Darren!!!
Why are your ankles so big??? Weird..... maybe make your calvs bigger bro! why even do body building? why not running or boxing or something functional?
you are not supposed to be an athlete and stand still in your peak level of performance... They need to make body builders to track and field events to see who of the muscle heads has FUNCTIONAL strength.... You are full of useless slow muscle Mr. Body Builder........
That's any gym body would want to have at any age, I worry about the legs though for the competition. You're still a little soft down there. Nevertheless. You put in the work, I wish you the best of luck. You will do well nevertheless.
Woooow, congratulations! 46 years old but in top shape, there is many young body builders out there taking steroids that is not even close to looking like you.
Your legs look a lot better--they look bigger and more defined, and more proportional to your upper body. You've definitely made improvements. The lighting in this room isn't great for posing, and that's why it's a little hard to see the legs, but I'm sure when you're onstage the visibility will be clear. Hope you take the title!
i dont know much about the judging but seems like u may need more definition in ur legs, calves but besides that its greathope u win show them how its done drug free
Darin..ur gunna smash it mate!!! good luck with show, i have been watching your improvements every week and you truly are an inspiration...when you have some time after the shows it would be great to see some training vids to see how you train..much love from the UK brother!!
Looking shredded my friend I have been keeping up with your progress the last 12 weeks and you have made a stelar jump. Upper body looks great and your legs have come a long way. Definetly post a video of the competition we all want to see ya compete.
Lookin good Darin! I would say that your legs could have used a little more size and try to thin them out a bit more. Make sure that you are incorporating your legs in each pose, especially your calves. It looks much more impressive if you have your legs flexed with the normal poses. Keep up the good work and good luck man!!
Looking REALLY good. I watched a video of you posing maybe 6 weeks back I can't remember and you are looking SIGNIFICANTLY better. Keep up the amazing work.
Ive been watching you for a long time now. and ive been looking for a drug free / hormone free inspiration. i admit, my will to resist other means of getting big has been withering. i have never commented on a youtube video. but i am extremely impressed with your physique. particularly that you are all natural. you have single handedly strengthened my resolve to remain drug / hormone free. i truly thank you.
@holsterizer Hey holsterizer, that is what I like to hear my man. Drug free is the best way to go. So many great things come out of doing it the right way. The hardest and the right things in life are almost always the same thing.
Great all around job but your calves can use a little defining. its not a noticeable issue but because I body build for health reasons I catch the little things. Other than that keep up the great work, you look younger than some people my age and I am 25.
I would try to do your poses a little slower. I hope you know what i mean, but when you flex so fast and change your poses so fast the judges wont have enough time to see everything. Just do them a little slower, that would be my tip.
Darin, looks like your ready to me great job.. The only thing that I can see is your legs look big but they are not as cut as your upper body they don't have the muscle separation and striations. Just curious how much are you weighing and whats your body-fat percentage.
okay .. i have been always commenting on the muscles .. now .. i am really speechless .. everything is in almost perfect condition .. i say almost because only god is perfect .. i just wanna say good luck :P and good luck on those poses .. i can't judge the poses cuz i am not an acttual bodybuilder i'm just 2 years into this whole fitness and bodybuilding thing .. though i think u should flex ur quads a bit more .. that's all darin ..
Legs are coming in Brother! Looks like they still holding a little fluid so stop working the legs soon enough to give them a few days before the show to drop the water! Kevin Levrone once said you should do your last leg session at least 7 days away from the competition! ;-)
I see a small mistake in posing , over rounding of the back in the back pose keep the shoulders back 3:55 and the muscles will look rounder and fuller , Looking great tho. good luck champ !!
It could be the bad lighting in there, but when doing your back poses, try not to keep your sternum high, like you do when you do your front poses. It puts too much shadow on your back, which is by far your best feature. If you point your chest out when doing back poses, light won't hit your back like it should.
only thing i saw that you could change is your posing, u werent totaly semetrical in some of your poses so try look at urself in the mirror so u can be full aware of your movements :)
some people are saying he doesnt look and good, first off he is 46, your body isnt like it was when youre 35 years old, and secondly he is juice free. u just cant look as impressive without them, usually because u cant achieve the same size, but thats life. if u compare darin to every other 46 year old he is in 20 times better shape than 99% of the male population.

Your top half is shredded,but your legs look soft(especially calves) you still not making the best of them with poses.
Thanks for showing the journey.
Can you give a detail of you diet and cardio,and any change to your workout.
I'm trying to get my body fat down,and use your vids for motivation.

Darin, looks like your ready to me great job.. The only thing that I can see is your legs look big but they are not as cut as your upper body they don't have the muscle separation and striations. Just curious how much are you weighing and whats your body-fat percentage.

2:28 Side Shot, my personal favorite Darin. Sweeet! I'd say calves and quads, but mostly calves for increase.

Legs are coming in Brother! Looks like they still holding a little fluid so stop working the legs soon enough to give them a few days before the show to drop the water! Kevin Levrone once said you should do your last leg session at least 7 days away from the competition! ;-)
Peace & Good Luck

I see a small mistake in posing , over rounding of the back in the back pose keep the shoulders back 3:55 and the muscles will look rounder and fuller , Looking great tho. good luck champ !!

Your body is hotter than July. Good job. Got any info on getting rid of the middle aged gut? Seriously.

Does anyone know how/where we can view this competition when Darin competes?

It could be the bad lighting in there, but when doing your back poses, try not to keep your sternum high, like you do when you do your front poses. It puts too much shadow on your back, which is by far your best feature. If you point your chest out when doing back poses, light won't hit your back like it should.

Hey Darin,
Looking Great. Just touch up the legs a little. Need a little more leg definition. That's only because your upper body is amazing.
Good Luck
