Dec 11, 2009 9:14pm

thanks bro...great job with your life change progress, way to keep at it!!

Dec 11, 2009 1:19pm

no prob bro. calories...mainly eat clean yes, any protein is ok..i eat it all as far as cheats, keep it to a minimum but if you feel like a greasy pizza or burger go for it. no need to hold back...just make sure you can always see your abs lol

Dec 10, 2009 6:44pm

well bro its a matter of calories..sometimes you'll hit that plateau and it might take a while. i havent figured out the secret yet either. i've been sitting around 205-210 for the past several months. here is the thing, i dont base my cons based upon how much weight i weigh. as long as im getting stronger, its all good. even still if i dont, i switch up my training and foods i eat. the body is very adaptable, switch everything up every 4-8 weeks or when you hit that plateau

Dec 9, 2009 9:33pm

hey bro, judging by your pics...yeah you look better all the while looking leaner...good job bro

Dec 1, 2009 3:22pm

good lord buddy, you're a freak. same height as me but 80lbs heavier...thats insane. i have a hard time clothes shopping, cant imagine what you go through lol. lookin to see you at the mr o one day bro

Nov 22, 2009 4:47pm

hey thanx bro, kind words are always welcomed! ive prob put on 20plus lbs since summer 2008, right now just fine tuning for mr minnesota so i prob wont gain much from now till june. hope all is well with you!

Nov 20, 2009 10:42pm

oh yeah, starting to fine tune for the show now. little by little changing my mentality, training and dieting.

Nov 20, 2009 10:38am

OK i understand. dude skip JR USA, do NORTH AMERICAN..its basically same competition but its a tier 1 nat'l show plus it will give you more time so you can enjoy your sis wedding lol the northstar pics are up at strength media go check them out. also if you have a face-book, hit me up there..just google my name and it will pop up

Nov 20, 2009 6:33am

btw- awesome that you got paid lol so when do you get your pics back?

Nov 20, 2009 6:33am

yep michelle. ouch, didnt know his rates, though he has great work. i only do test shoots/exchanges..cant afford them either lol so i'll prob end up prospecting in march. i will prob PAY but for only a photographer who is extremely reputable/has tons of published work just for a little kick to my portfolio. there isnt too many male photographers whos work i care for..i like some unique photography, not the same old back shoots of a studio crap. lots of color and shadowing/killer backgrounds.

Nov 19, 2009 2:00pm

you going to set a shoot with imirage? if you havent yet, hit him up on my fb. hes in vegas now for fap. lol i didnt realize you were that tall. you were in the taller class then my friend michelle whos same height as me. congratz again..so whats the next show?

Nov 19, 2009 1:55pm

well, you only have another month or two do decide before you have to cut. im starting to fine tune diet and training like 30 weeks out lol. biggest thing i want is paper thin skin...in my as$ so get some striations to come out...so going to refine my trianing for extra detail. im happy with the muscle ive gained

Nov 19, 2009 1:53pm

looking at the pics, i agree you do look better, tighter and you can see it in your face..then you know you did your homework lol jr usa in august..wow never heard that, its usually spring contest. that gives you another 6 months of bulking. why jr usas anyways? sh!t you might as well do north american...no one does jr usas yeah mr mn then jr nats!

Nov 19, 2009 6:42am

so how did you do? i think gritti said you took 3rd? i didnt end up making it out to the show..pics chris took sucked. seems as if everyone thought comp was good..how do you feel about it and whats next...you going to hit up mr mn or do a nat'l level show next year?

Nov 18, 2009 3:08pm

no i didnt end up making it. seen the pics, looked like an ok show. the shw didnt look that big on stage judging by the pics. he was pretty tall and needs more muscle to fill out his frame. gritti said it was a pretty good show to so i guess pics really didnt do the show justice. so whats the plan for next year?

Nov 10, 2009 12:53pm

thanx bro but i have 5 months up on you. im not gaining nearly as quick as i use to..right now its much slower plus joints & tendons are getting sore so had to kick it back on several occasions. still busting my arse to get my chest back to its former self. it looks good but not up to par with everything else. lol post surgery, my bad arm was 3"smaller then my good, now my bad arm is over 1/2" bigger then my former good arm lol

Nov 5, 2009 5:48pm

nice man...just dont be in a hurry! i think i started training upperbody 12 weeks after surgery and i remember i was only doing d-bell presses with 5lbs! it comes back quicker then you think it will bro. looking great man, good to see you too. im at a plateau...really hard to push more cals in, makes me gag thinking about food lol
