Hi -
I appreciate all your comments concerning the 'naturalness' of my physique.
I can tell you that I am 100% completely natural. I would not even know who to go to in order to get stuff.
The last show I did last June I was the leanest I have ever been. (that is the first picture in this thread).
I wanted to see how 'in shape' I could get. I do quite a bit of cardio and am repremanded by many trainers out there who think my amount of cardio borders on insane (up to 2 hours a day interval training 8 week around 6-8 weeks out from a show). I ended up being too lean for the judges - I got first in routine and was 9th in physique (the FAP shows like them a little fuller).
My diet and training practices are listed on my site - and I do eat a natural clean diet with 1-2 cheats per week, even as close as 4 weeks before a show.
If you have any questions, love to hear from you.
