I just wanted to update all of you who helped me in out in the last couple months. I had my contest yesterday, placed second in the novice heavys. If I would have had a couple more weeks, I would have looked much better, but that's the way it goes. I'm gonna take it easy now for a couple weeks, still stick to my diet. I think before I begin to bulk up, I'm gonna go ahead and diet down to where I would have liked to be. I'm ready to prepare for next year now. Once again, thanks to you guys who replied to my threads.
