What's up Fellas,

I don't post much, just lurk and use "search". So I have something worthy to contribute. My journey to Muscle Mania Miami June 19th at the Hyatt Regency.

Not my first rodeo although it has been 10 years since my last stage appearance. I'm recently divorced and can't think of a better way to put an exclamation point on my life right now than putting up against other "Masters"

I'm 42 years old, feel a lot younger. Follow the Animal principles and train balls out. Every single time.

Enough fluff. I'm at 8 weeks out right now and feeling good. I have a trainer, she is starting with me this week and I've been training on my own since week 17.

Stats: 5-10" tall at 198 lbs right now. Abs are showin' and getting lean. Won't check BF till 4 weeks out and just use the mirror.

Here's pics taken last night after chest.

My diet is 6 meals a day. 2 days a low carb days where I basically consume 1.5 cups of veggies with 10 ounces of protein meat 4 times per day.

Pre-Workout I use UMP and Postwork out Torrent

The 3rd day I add 2 cups of starch carbs like rolled oats or yams. Downing 2 gallons of water a day and really don't use much for supplements other than Torrent, Animal Pak and UMP.

Just rely on intense training and good old food. Will post up a progress report each week up until the show.
