Thanks for the welcoming , Chris I atually competed in Midwest Ironman 2006 with you. We were on stage together for the final posedown, The pics I posted were from junior's 2007 though. I took 6th out of 18 in lightweight. Which wasn't that bad for my 1st time at juniors. Since then ive been trying to gain as much size as I can and im shooting for either Brooklyn Grand prix in Oct or Midwest Ironman in Nov, so I can qualify. Then i'll do Junior's 2010. Im 27yrs old 5'5 about 182lbs @ 6-8% BF, I've been training for about 9yrs. My contest history is 2rd novice lightweight and 3rd open lightweight @ Illinois State 2006, 1st novice lightweight and 1st open Bantam weight @ Midwest Ironman 2006, 1st open lightweight Illinois State 2007, and 6th @ Junior Nats 2007. I just changed up my workout to low volume higher intensity and drop set/static hold/partials on the last set of the last exercise. I try to eat at least 6 meals per day with the usual pro/carbs/fat if you have more questions about my diet just ask its to much to write, I already feel like I wrote a book lol. I look foward to posting new pics and threads in the future!
