Thanks to benchboy for taking the video.
After the back strains (twice) and staph infection, I'm now back to 100% level of training but with a new approach. I'm now trying to control my overtraining by limiting the number of times I exercise a week; especially when I road bike. I'm eating during my breaks as well, and I've felt...
Awesome job with your physique, Richard! Excellent mass, definition and symmetry. You must also be a cyclist with those legs? Keep blastin' the iron! -Jeff
Damn dude, I'm jealous. First of all, you look great, I'm a little taller but I want your build on my frame. I moved to Toledo from Aliso Viejo (don't ask)... enjoy your winter, lol...
One great physique on the way, solid muscle and definition throughout. Great job on traps, chesy, abs and legs just to name a few. You'll have no probs getting on that stage soon. Andre
Today, I did my hour's worth of cardio and came home and had an MRP. I've been eating clean for the last month and a half and doing a split training regimen that's been working well. Tomorrow, I'll do cardio in the morning and hit the pecs in the PM.
I'm starting a blog, albeit a little late, to journal my quest to return to my bodybuilding form. I had competed about 12 years ago, and did pretty well considering I won my class my first contest and then an overall. Granted they were amateur natural contests, but I hope to return to form soon.
