This Freaks Prep Turned Out Great!

[Gunsmith]

Damn , his legs are crazy !!

Alex- great work... I was shocked when I saw the results and he did not take the overall. No offense to Troy Tate but I saw a better overall package with your client.

Nicely put! And so fricken true!

Thanks!

Well I guess this is my PM introduction. I have been a member for a while now and am on here everyday reading, learning and absorbing everything I can! What a great site this is!

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback and a BIG thanks to Alex for helping me get in the best condition ever for this show. He actually only had 7 weeks & 5 days to get me ready. Everything actually came so smooth and somewhat easy for a competition prep from anything I have ever done in the past. I came to him and just said "lets just see what we can do, and hopefully I can at least be presentable enough to do the show!" Well I was very presentable and actually won the Super Heavyweight Class! I was hoping to win the overall, but unfortunately it didn't go that way. Congrats to Troy Tate who did win, as he is a great guy.

My Fiance was actually more upset then me when I didn't win the overall as she has been cooking, weighing and packaging all 8 meals everyday for 16 weeks! Wow! What a woman!

I go by BIGGMIKE295, but have not walked around at 295lbs for quite a while now. My off season weight is 275lbs-280lbs. No laughing, but here is my pic from 16 weeks out at 280lbs. I already know how unhealthy I look.

Nice to be here!

P.S I really love this pic from after I weighed in!

Welcome to PM BIGGMIKE295. You look thick and huge for 5'8. Glad to hear that Alex is prepping you and point you in the right direction. Another 1-2 weeks more you would have been more dry and leaner. Congrats on your win.
Alex great job bro! You done it again! :headbang:

 

[JETHRO TULL]

Props to you both!! Alex, you are a guru and genius.

And Mike, you are a testament to what hard work and determination can do. You should go really far, possibly to a pro card. Congrats on the win, champ!

Thanks bro! I am 34 years old and have been hitting the weights since I was in High School. I am just getting a feel for this and trying to see how far I really want to try to go in regards to competing.

I can say that Alex made this contest prep a hell of a lot easier then I thought it was going to be! I killed myself last year for a few shows and didn't look half as good!

 

[Alex A]

This pic kinda says it all..... I know you lost by 1 point for the over all mike. but i dont see how??

 

[buffbabeca]

Alex I cant say I agree.. but I can tell you where the one point is.. and its mike waist, is thicker then Troy. they went for troy because of his taper.

 

[BigChef]

Alex, which guy is the winner by 1 point?

 

[Creed428]
