[Magnum]

Come in shredded and you will turn pro.

 

[gooey]

Thank you gents!

Dan - you look great man..come in peeled and you will def do some damage - keep up the good work.

JM

Thanks means a lot coming from you! Got a long way to go but the goal was to set a new standard of conditioning for myself

You got it all gooey.

You look great and
will only look better.

Dont have it all... lot of faults, my back needs a ton of work and time, but im trying to bring it up... just my most stubborn body part, and I am still learning how to train it best.

Damn your progress is amazing to watch! You really define hardcore in a true sense. You eat, sleep, train, rest as a champion and you deserve everything that's waiting for you! Always impressive, always humble, you're a great ambassador for the sport! Congrats and you look amazing!

Much in which I have accomplished was learned from a great couple of mentors back home. Installed with some great info from the best! I am still merely mortal in comparison to them!

Come in shredded and you will turn pro.

I dont know if I will even get close enough to sniff that but I will make up for my last showing at Nationals, my body was tired, and my metabolism went into hibernation mode (not mention ketogenic diets do not work for me) I wanted to get way ahead regardless of doing just a re-qualifying show I wanted to be close so when I get back on track for Nationals after this 1st show in August I could get that pinnacle level of condition needed to at least open some eyes and make up my last showing!

Best Gooey ever!!! Best of luck man at Nats. What is your diet looking like at this point? I know keto diets aren't your thing and it seems you've changed some things around this year... I agree w/ Magnum, I don't think you're far off. Incredible job man.

Being humble is one thing, but don't underestimate yourself. You are not the first person I have said this to who has turned pro. Try and set a new standard for conditioning not just for yourself, but for the sport, that's the answer to your pro card.

Gooey,

Hey bro...You could turn pro if you wanted to...So like Magnum say's dont think you cant..becasue with the right conditioning you could !!! Your the one from this great state of Iowa that could be PRO !!! So, make it happen !!!

 

[Kobayashi7777]

As always all I can say is wow. Your physique is just sick. Do the work, go through the suffering, choose the wrench(Andrew will expain.) and this is your year.

We will be at the Nationals for sure this year. Why? Because I was watching Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives and they have a diner there called Matthews that I have to try. I guess while I'm there eating I may as well see you kick some ass too.

Why the wrench? Because Fuck Him..that's why.
Classic.

 

[TheOtherOne55]

you look amazing man! i seriously HOPE to have a physique like yours one day! Best of luck in the rest of your prep

Much appreciation for feedback...

Thanks bud, diet is a carb cycling diet, back to what I used back in 08 except for Nationals. Except this time I am using mainly fruit as my carbohydrate. I did more research on their nutrient level and glycemic index.. just seems a perfect food for BBing. Just gonna do my best, I hope its the best package I can bring, I always want to improve..

Thank you Magnum it means much coming from people at levels way beyond me that compliment me. I appreciate any feedback I can get from people such as yourself... I figure my main goal is to get as peeled as I can get. My body seems happy so far and is going with the flow and I started way way out to make sure I could get way ahead. I am gonna hit this thing running and suffer myself to new levels to see what I can handle. I have a long road ahead but I figure the farther ahead I am, the more rested I am, the more I have adapted I am... the better my body will respond to hitting a new level!

Thanks Chris, gonna do what I can do, Ill bust ass, and my goal was to come in tighter then I have ever before, I started way out to give my slow ass metabolism time to get the ball rolling. Its working so far but have much more work to do... hope all is well my friend!
