Back after a 4 year hiatus

[bigsd67]

Hello all. It's been a very long time since I've posted on this board. Probably over 4 years. Needless to say I've maintained a respectable physique and after not stepping on stage in as much time am training for the Fitness Atlantic Competition in East Haven, CT on April 17th. I'm attaching a blog that I started and will probably begin updating more regularly. My methods of doing things are different, but have been working. I work with a coach who is also a judge and helped out multiple national champions. Feel free to follow my blog and although I typically do what the coach says I'm open to listening to everyone's thoughts, critiques etc...

I'm getting a video camera this week so I'll be able to post pics and vids soon.

I will be following your log, quick question though... whats the prize for winning a show like yours??

Just got my new camera so I'll have pics up this weekend.

The only prize is the satisfaction of knowing I worked my @ss off to get in shape and a trophy.

So after that 4 year hiatus I ended up taking second place out of 9 competitors in the Novice Lightweight Class.

Final stats:
157 in the morning
160 after mini sh!tload and candy
27.5 inch waist sucked in above belly button
28.5 relaxed waist above belly button

I know that my legs needed more time and I think by staying lean the rest of this year I'll dial them in next year and come in thicker in my upper body too. More pictures to come but here's a hands on hips MM pose.
