thanks for the replies,
most of the work was diet, and it was very strict and i was able to follow it only because i wanted this so badly. i do think i can stay in the middles for my next comp in june and i think thats a very realistic goal to come in about 9lbs bigger and harder. i was 167 in the pic and im 5'9. so my frame can hold alot more muscle. ill move up in weight class soon . im already up 25lbs in 18 days. without touching a weight. i was so depleated that i was dry as a bone, felt good to look at myself and see that i was where i needed to be to have a good showing. i learned alot and im ready to keep it going and go as far as my body will allow. thanks again for the support of the members and pro"s
