damn i think i need to stop comparing myself to you. im starting to have all these feelings of jealousy. that's some great lean mass. once again you simply look incredible.AD

[Fitzchick]

Love those Shoulders and Abs!! WooooHooo! Lookin Yummy!

[Rictor33]

looks fucking awesome, nice job. I envy your dedication, one thing however, your neck is sort of out of proportion to the rest of your body, I notice this in some bb'ers, do you just not want a big neck? I always thought that id want a bull neck if I was big like that (well i am, but with about 10% more bodyfat).

damn boy, i give you all the props you merit. this is simply awesome. staying lean while bulking its just an impossible task for me so im very very impressed by your discipline and dedication!!!

Thanks Dam. But, I wanna add some more size before I do a show. For the next 6 months, I'm going to be bulking, training hard and focusing on weak points like calves. I'm sticking them first in my workouts, twice a week, to bring them up. In February, I should be ready to start dieting for a contest.

What month are you looking to compete next year? Bodyrock would be a sweet show to do.

I don't know about that, but thanks for the confidence booster...I guess I would have to compete in the heavies, being over 198, and competition can get pretty fierce in that class depending on the show. Dam, after seeing the Bodyrock show this year, you're right, it would be a good one to do, unless I want to make the finals. I'll just have to pack on more size if I wanna place! Did you see the heavyweights?

[Breetai]

[punk_bbuilder]

awesome, very good symmetry. Let us know when you do a show

I forgot to respond to this...my neck is actually proportionate, I think. Maybe it's the pics but I wear an 18" collar and measure out at 17 1/2" not flexed. Aren't your arms, neck and calf measurements supposed to be close? My neck measures 18" flexed, arms 18" cold and calves 16 1/2", so my problem is calves. I'd love to have a bigger neck, along with a bigger everything, but I also want to keep it in proportion to my arms and calves.

Pumpseeker - this is amazing.

I've seen your diet

Could you post (or post a link to see) your workout routine and the cycle (doze/ duration)

Also some info about your 1st cycle and what you did in between the two (workout, diet etc)

Thanks
