[kingschnitz]

not bad for 45.

good work i say. 

[1Delu]

VERY nice progress....drug free is the best thing.

[iEquivalence]

how come at :55 you can see the 3rd and 4th ab of your right side, but none on the right?

[TheSilverGuild]

Is it true that the night befor comps bodybuilders get drunk so that there skin is tighter on the muscels due to less liquid in your body from the hangover?

[MrAsierash]

darin::::very good job man.u look a winner.greeting from basque country!

[cwigingtonjr]

darin, long time follower, would love to see your nutrition plan for this contest prep.

[shaq67ify]

WHAT EXCERISE DO YOU DO FOR YOUR CHEST

[DARINSTEENSSTUDENT]

@ I am Strenghtly Fit, please find something better to do than Assume. You know what they say about those that AssUMe.If you don't like it, don't watch the video. DARIN HAS WORKED HARD FOR THIS.

Cordell (head trainer)

[Griddley1]

Hey Darin, you look great! I wish you the best at the upcoming show. I am entering my first contest ever, with Muscle Mania, which is 7 weeks out, I"m 42 and in the best shape of my life. How did you get such an awesome tan?

[ThatPunkBrent]

did you ever figure out what that smell was? haha you look awesome man can't even think of what you need to work on

[taj2010fitness]

ABS is the only thing that needs work. Othere than that your perfect. Keep up the good work

[lollingbowling]

Dont get me wrong dude I am jealous but just trying to judge you. Not in the spiritual sense that is but the physical!

[MikeyMan24]

darin, win or lose, you are an inspiration. keep up all of your great work.

[J0k3r4U]

I wish your biceps and forearms were bigger. Also outer calves... Abs need a bit more cut but you are WITHOUT DOUBT one of the BEST bodybuilders I've ever seen! Your striations are FANTASTIC imo!!!

Kick ass man!

[Roger161]

DARIN !!! You are looking AWESOME !!!!!!!! Top 2 Darin. Haven't seen ya in 4 weeks; and OMG !!! Everything from your legs / back / abs / chest / EVERYTHING looks GOOD !!!! Haven't been in the gym for 2 weeks cause i've been sick :( Im my opinion Darin............YOU GOT THIS BRO !!!!!

[MrBigbobsbeans]

lookin good but the chick at 4:18 is lookin a lil better :p

[mttukhighintensity]

Looking good, need to bring your left arm out more on front lat spread a little more as ur right lat appear to be wider than ur left, check the mirror, it's just a minor thing tho..... awsome prep... Go chipotle!

[fatlosslifestyle]

Thanks so much for the over 130 comments and feedback on my progress. I an working out with my trainer Vince Robbins today and will post another progress video tonight. It is getting down to crunch time (only 7 weeks left) so your feedback is very important and it helps me a lot. See you in a few hours!

Your Coach,

Darin Steen (Drug Free Body / Life Builder

[JEMZ090]

Whats your nutition Darin?????????????????????

[Nikon05]

this is 7 weeks out??? fuckin hell. you're gna destroy the comp

[tanteu03]

Wow definitely see the differences! Serious cut now Darin! Looking good!

[TcChino5]

nice work 

[vonok4ec]

hams and glutes man ! YOU ARE LOOKING FENOMENALL !

[VDENORM]

dropped by to tell you, you re looking good. Looking forward for more

[StonedRambo01]

Awesome progress! Looking ripped bro. Hamstrings are looking better but they still need some work grasshopper. Everything else is a winner. You are cutting right now aren't you, cause if so more definition will come through. For some reason maybe it's the camera angle or something but it looks like your holding a little water weight or something in your hamstrings. Close to perfection. If u can give us a weekly diet example or atleast a whole day of what your eating. Keep it up and good luck!

[angloman1]

"heh, what's that smell"

It's all those protein shakes causing gas

that chick wants to sniff  'em

[Tullyfied1]

Your arms, back and shoulders look incredible! That front double biceps pose is gonna be unstoppable. Same for the rear lat spread. I'd say your hamstrings need more definition, but everything else looks great! I think you'll be there in seven weeks, and I hope you take home 1st place!

[RichsWorldLive]

You are doing wonderful but the split in the middle of the calves is lacking. Try laying on a bench stomach down and doing calf curls with a partner holding a towel for resistance. Does wonders along with raises on machine. You are gonna win it because you believe you are. Awesome positive mental attitude Darin!

[domhan123]

great work, a bit more mass on the outer sweep of your quads and your there! keep up the good work..

[iAmStrengthlyFit]

you have done steroids sir, this is no where near natural sorry. u might be able to fool noobs, but from an experienced eye its easy to tell

[redeyeddawn]

@iAmStrengthlyFit

Why is it fact that he has done steriods? Maybe you could give some detail.

[iAmStrengthlyFit]

@redeyeddawn Distended stomach, early baldness... very big signs, hes not ona big doe like ronnie coleman and jay cutler, but he is however on sme dose of some sort of substance.

[fatlosslifestyle]

@iAmStrengthlyFit You are dead wrong dude. I am a life long natural competitor. I take a multi vitamin, and whey protein and that is it. I survived kidney cancer. I would be an idiot to take drugs and risk death. Don't be a hater and a doubter. ost likely is your insecurities that you don't think you can or you are not willing to put in the hard work and eat right. I have been doing this since 1980. What would you look like if you did not miss any work outs and eat great for 31 years?

[redeyeddawn]

@iAmStrengthlyFit

The slightly distended stomach he has is probably the bodies natural and internal adaption to give some protection to his organs. I have had a six pack since the age of 9 (I was a whiz at climbing things). My stomach also distended quite a bit when I was young(even with a damn near 8 pack) slightly more so than his. It lessened as I stopped climbing as much and got older, but my defined stamuch still slightly distends to this day.

ease up on the presumptions man...

[Nikon05]

@iAmStrengthlyFit just because you aren't able to achieve what he has, doesnt mean you have to use the generic, oh you're on steroids comment. think about what age he is, he's been training for years, he knows what he's doing, he's a personal trainer and is psychologically very determined.

[iAmStrengthlyFit]

@Nikon05 listen, i know hes older, i know he might have been training long. I know its not natural because f the distended stomach (BIG GIVE AWAY) stomach is out and round even though clrearly has a six pack, very often seen with roid users, early male pattern baldness, i dont even know why im explaining to you why he isnt natural. He is obviously not.

[fatlosslifestyle]

@iAmStrengthlyFit You are dead wrong dude. I am a life long natural competitor. I take a multi vitamin, and whey protein and that is it. I survived kidney cancer. I would be an idiot to take drugs and risk death. Don't be a hater and a doubter. ost likely is your insecurities that you don't think you can or you are not willing to put in the hard work and eat right. I have been doing this since 1980. What would you look like if you did not miss any work outs and eat great for 31 years?

[Nikon05]

@iAmStrengthlyFit just so you know there are many things that can cause a distended stomach other than taking gear. Something tells me you'll just ignore whatever I say, so if you really want to know ill reply to this, if not, go read some doctors literature and the findings of the american medical association. The pro bodybuilders do have huge guts due mostly to gear, true. But its not always the reason

[ec123456789able]

@iAmStrengthlyFit early male pattern baldness?? he is 45, it is normal for a lot of guys to have male pattern baldness by then, i know some people who were totally bald by 35!! plus it is not that unbelievable to have a body like his after 30+ years of exercise. he is natural, get over it.

[iAmStrengthlyFit]

@ec123456789able its funny that you say that after 30+ years of exercise he would have reached his genetic potential. So he started at 15, and then continued to grow muscles until now, at 45 years old, and he has the test left to do this? This literally makes no sense. Do the math. It might look or seem natural after years and years and very well told background stories, yet right away, I can tell this is not natural. Please, dont respond if you think hes natural, ur digging urself a hole.

[Barhoumaaaa]

TOP PART PERFECT.

BOTTOM PART NEED WORK.

[hindichucky]

gr8 job! at 2:48 your left bicep looks a bit larger than your right one. Hope you get number 1 !!!

[fatlosslifestyle]

7 weeks away and I am progressing very nicely. I do believe I can beat the worlds best. Thanks for checking out this video and telling me about my weak points I need to bring up for the contest.

Your Coach,

Drug Free for LIfe Body / Life Builder

[mm34rider]

@fatlosslifestyle

You're getting SHREDDED bro! Keep up the good work!

[kylesteinhauser]

Without crazy abs, it's gonna be a long shot

[Pbuddhafull]

DANG MANG YOU GOT TANNNNNNNNNNN

[unclebucky3]

darin if you can try and flex your abs when your doing double biceps even tough the judges focus will be at your arms their still gonna be looking at the rest of you. You would just look more impressive this way

[ddgym65]

Darin, man bro adding the tan really helped bring out the striations especially in your back and rear delts. Looking on the Cronus web site the show is on Aug. 20th that's more than 7 weeks out.

[fatlosslifestyle]

@ddgym65 Thanks for the feedback on my posing. Yes, but I have a show on July 20th in St. Louis. It is a IFPA pro show.

darin

[hpdblackhawk]

DUDE YOU LOOKING AWESOME!!!! Good luck man.

[djBC10000]

how did u get the tan?

[ownagesoft]

HAHA, look great! the girl can't study! shes too distracted by your Flexing! LOL!

[chippymc12]

do you shave or wax your body?

[majordave223]

Looking ripped



[electronichell]

Keep the good work Darin, you looking great and i'm also looking forward for your nutrition intake.

[abignerdynerd]

looking real good especially with the colour

[aurelius99]

Nothing wrong with you at all, Darin. You are perfection! At seven weeks out, you look like a god. One problem with the video, though. I have a problem at 3:00 minutes. It stops and goes on pause and I can't view the rest. Mike

[Ataro104]

absolutely post your nutrition intake! some homemade meal ideas would be great to see as well (not chipotle :D)

[nuzza361]

I'm so upset Darin, the last two video's you did I did not hear your clap clap - I miss that part!!! Your video's are just not the same without it LOL You look great I'm sure you will be in the top 3 Good Luck to You You always inspire me Keep up the good work !!

[davethedm]

at the side chest pose :33, do you think you could put tension on your quads to show off the vastus muscles?

[Vernonu9]

That looks like it hurts to be that muscular.

[fkcanuck]

definitely see a change since previous videos, nicely done.

[obviouslylee]

Hey, looking good Darin, keep it up. I'm hoping you'll be posting clips from the show, and the results. Or at least give us a link where we can follow the show.

If you want the serious critique, lower body needs the most attention for this show, upper body looks fantastic.

[TexasAmateur]

his abs on the left side aint defined cause of a surgery he had when he was younger

[Buckhead1959]

Darin...I agree that your calves are your weak point. Your tri's are awesome. Work those calves and you'll have it all.

[Menla1]

also ur left abs look less defined than ur right rectus abdominus looks way more defined than ur left.

still dude u look like a hero!!!! only saying these cause u asked for criticism but u look awesome

[Menla1]

you get ur legs as good as ur arms and ur gonna win this fuckin thing man!!!!!

[shantialampros]

Mr. Steens all the hard work your doing looks awesome! i would say the calves are the only real body part that doesnt need a whole over haul just a little tuning up. but seriously great work!

[bf6067]

WOW! I thought you looked great before! That tan makes you look sensational!

[angloman1]

are you sure the tan is 'drug free' ?

Is it just me or is one of your thighs bigger than the other?

Looking good Darin. Wish you were round to motivate the fat off me though....

Enjoy your videos! Keep it up

[ubermensch818]

needing some tighter abs , looking a bit bloated ....

[iLikeNachooooz]

@ubermensch818

well that's a problem with bodybuilding, if you're skinny you get real tight abbs, if you're heavier you get a bit of bloated belly but still have lots of definition

[rubiksmasta]

Wooot! Do I see the coming of an 8 pack Darin?

But I agree, that you need some work on all parts of your legs. Great work on your back by the way.

[addohm]

Darin, you're hamstrings need some serious work. Everything else looks fuckin fantastic. Calves could use a little definition, but your focus really needs to be on developing your hamstrings. You can not seem any definition in them!

[metropolisis]

the girl behind you is checking you out

[Beholdthebeast]

Whats that smell?

[iLikeNachooooz]

nutrition is such a hassle for me. any idiot (like me) can go to the gym a lot but since I'm not eating enough protein I'm developing skin tear near my armpits although I use a lot of whey protein to supplement it still doesn't fix my problem, any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

[diehard1191]

i wish that dude in the back ground would shut up!

[tsakpewpew]

keep pressing 9 hahaha

[iLikeNachooooz]

@tsakpewpew

hawrrrrr >=D

[MetalDrummer09]

and work on the lat spread pose

[fatlosslifestyle]

Thanks for all the feedback on my progress "True 12 Week Trip To The Title". Your critique is helping me. I really appreciate it. I will post my nutrition intake, if there enough interest in the comments below. :-)

Your coach,

Darin Steen (Drug Free For LIfe Bodybuilder)

[MetalDrummer09]

@fatlosslifestyle no prob

[redeyeddawn]

@fatlosslifestyle

Spill the beans on the nutrition man.

[davethedm]

@fatlosslifestyle I would like to see your diet and caloric intake.

[cardmastad]

@fatlosslifestyle yes nutrition intake please

[MetalDrummer09]

like you said you need some more size in the hams. some more sweep on the quads, some more width in the back and maybe some more size on the tricep lateral head, some more hams and glute seperation which will be more apparent when u get a little closer to the contest. regardless of all of that you look amazing, very good conditioning for 7weeks out. good colour aswell. i wish you all the best for you contest

[romans122]

LMAO press 9

[iceyjr3]

too bulky for me but good job on it

[markybyeah]

@BJJANDKARATE he had operation when he was a kid i think

[freddy692000]

This abdominal wall removal really fuck up your figure in general but its not like u can do something about it.I think u must add some muscle at your traps!!!

[samyish]

Work on your sweep a little more. Posing is still pretty sketchy. Keep on keepin on.

[markybyeah]

that chick sitting on the floor is hot as hell and really distracting

[jaboipell]

@markybyeah i agree

[markybyeah]

@jaboipell bet her was thinking.. when she was lookin at darin wouldnt ago on that hahahahah

[KnightSmurf2011]

damn dude you look good thumbs up keep up the good job

[coadsterlego]

He only has half an abdominal wall I think, hence the lack of abs

[amjams]

I don't get it. You're lean as a turkey, yet there's something keeping your abs from fully exposing themselves.

[laurentio]

@amjams indeed, why is that?

[hustler6t9]

and a lil more mass on the sweeps hard when ur dieting though!

[hustler6t9]

seratus looks amazing, need to work on abs and tie in's though bro!!

[MartialDriscoll]

Starting to look like a bronze god in all your glory.

[express375]

Thanks for showing your diet progress.It's fascinating.

Your legs are leaning out,but will there be anything left on your top half?

[anujbahl]

looking lean and vascular. imo, legs still need work, especially calves.

[MrNiceHk]

Amazing .. a little too big for my liking but looking good fella

[RSVJosephV]

To all those talking about his abs - he had to have a kidney removed earlier in life and they went in through the left side of his ab wall, that's why his right abs are more defined.

[wccrispy]

Darin, overall, you look great man. The hams and calves need work though because in the video they look soft and undefined compared to the rest of the body that looks dense and defined.

[mean71cuda]

why are your left abs flat like there one giant ab? oh and p.s. gotta work those hams brotha. everythin else looks great :)

[wccrispy]

@mean71cuda He had nerve damage from a surgery I believe.

[JustinW71]

I dare you to get a blow out hair cut LOL

[Chihang256]

I think you should make your abs more obvious. thx for the vid.

[parthisubramanian]

i cant see ur abs!



[parthisubramanian]

u dont have abs?

[irazieldotcom]

this guy looks like he is missing alot of mass on his arms to go along with the rest of his body

[gusthekiller2]

left trap and a bit of forearms

[KingRockets]

is it just me or does his right delts look bigger than his left ones?

[JaKeth3snake]

As u got into it your striations started to show way more. Great job

[Geistero]

maybe it's a good idea to change poses more gracefully. I've heard Arnold used to win because of his artistic skills

[OpTioNpwnz]

that chick on the floor is mirin

[allmotorhash]

why does he get winded from flexing?

[wccrispy]

@allmotorhash You should try flexing and holding poses for 4 minutes. You'll understand then.

[expat74]

The Arnold pose was sick. All the best Darin

[Pain5155]

Legs are weak as shit, relax on ur upper body

[themathew21]

why does ur abs only show on one side?

[KingRockets]

@themathew21 he had some sort of complications or tumour or something and had to get surgery on that side

[samuils]

Darin, try a much darker coloring cream. Also you will need to dehydrate your body soon enough to have a thinner skin look. Other than that, dont forget your Arnold pose, its incredible, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

[saanoj29]

I see Darin you have naturally thick waist - has there been anything that has helped you getting it tighter? I consider myself having thick waist too, so I would appreciate advice.

[crackasx2]

you need to work out on you abs or lose more fat, and just a bit on your legs, everything else seems fine

[samuils]

@crackasx2 Its not fat at this moment, its rather need to lose water now

[crackasx2]

@samuils im not saying he is fat, we all have fat on our body Im just telling this to improve his body by lose some fat to make abs stand out

[samuils]

@crackasx2 I know what you mean m8, the point I was trying to make is this: He is an endomorph, one of characteristics is thick skin, Darin might be reaching a very low body fat % as it is, but because of thick skin it looks like he still has a little bit above range. So once he dehydrates the skin will become thinner looking. I mean dont get me wrong you might be right as far as 1 or 2 more percent.

[AlfredoTicas]

thats a bad tan bro, but your freaking huge im pretty sure your gonna go all the way.

maybe need a bit bigger arms to match your whole body. just some thoughts :P

[lollingbowling]

honestly you want to be a champ work the back of your legs. Get those your complete dude!

[lollingbowling]

wow very nice for drug free!

[poppy1548]

hi mate i find u very inspiring and love ur videos . i think u need to drop more water out u look like your holding a lot of water still but your definantly weakest parts are your legs especially hamstrings what ever u do for them there not working

[wmontano8]

you're doing fantastic Darin, id say work on your hips, lower abs, lats, hamstrings, calves, triceps, and quads, and your back shoulders, teres minor/major, i dont mean to sound nit picky, i think your bodies progress is amazing but all im saying is keep on getting bigger and more lean lol cause your doing awesome and ppl can defiantly tell

you boy, Will

[nauticabinx]

You look great. Your back is amazing!!

[NabeelAlsaye225]

darren i think you can even beat zeus with a body like that! keep inspiring man! and one question, with your new diet was it hard to get into? and have you had any cravings for like carbs or fats that you know you cant eat and if you did how'd you get rid of those cravings?

[MaxRampage5150]

sorry to go off topic and no disrespect but how is your range of motion and flexibility?

you look great but you look very stiff in your videos.

i ask this because i want to build muscle but i'm hesitant because i'm wondering if it reduces your flexibility and i need this as i participate in sports which involves a lot of range of motion

[CR9soccerdude]

@MaxRampage5150 the types of exercises u should do should be mainly explosive exercises,...if u train fast, u will be fast. if u train slow, ur muscles will be the same

[Cygnus90]

shoulders, lats, CALVES AND QUADS

abs look like that because a kidney operation he had when he was a child, so no matter how much he exercises it'll be like that

amazing!

[latinalxk93]

Upper Body is Great bud, but hamstring and calves have to get more bigger. but your definitely first :]

[legend2kill]

thumbs up for tits in background

[ultimatebajan1]

Darin don't neglect the hams and calves. Big improvements. Smooth posses. Please spread the front lats more. #TEAMDARIN. First place easy!!!!

[ThePimpGeek]

damn son

[usmarinesinfantry11]

maybe legs? especially calves??

[ForceOfWizardry]

A lot of hard work there! keep it up!

[rock962000]

Major progress Darin. Good job buddy.

[WoWbob396]

unbelievable shoulders and back

[ckranez]

i dont know, i think the abs can use some work? is it cause of the surgery?

[Haru0000xD]
