Good luck on your final days. Glad to see another teen competitor!

It's hard to tell from this one picture. The lighting isn't the best, so it's hard to tell.

Post some more pictures.

Guys I have a question maybe some of you can help me out. I recently switched my diet slightly and added fish and brown rice to meals 2 and 5 (meal 2 previously was chicken/sweet potato, and meal 5 was egg whites/oats). I made this change a few days ago and during these few days my energy has dropped TREMENDOUSLY. I'm assuming i feel this way due to the change, but is there a way to bring my energy up a little? Or should I just toughen up these last 12 days? Thanks in advance.

Mike

mikez · 03-10-2008, 04:56 PM

heres the rest of my diet, i forgot to post it.

meal 1- 6 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1/3 cup oats, 1tbs natty pb
meal 2- 7oz cod, cup broccoli, 4oz sweet potatoe, 1tbs natty pb
meal 3- can of tuna, 3oz 99% lean turkey, 1/3 cup oats
meal 4- 2 scoops whey, 1tbs natty pb
meal 5- 7 oz cod, 1/2 cup brown rice
meal 6- 2 scoops whey

again, only meals 2 and 5 have been changed.

Relax your upper back when you do a rear double bicep. In doing so your lats will widen out more without sacrificing muscular detail. Just make sure to keep your arms either parallel or slightly higher than to the ground (which you are already doing).

topcornr · 03-10-2008, 05:50 PM

you look solid bro cant wait to hear how you do

hotrod89 · 03-10-2008, 05:56 PM

what part of SC are you from? I'm training for Mr. USC in columbia right now and am from charleston. You're looking lean, good luck at NKY

mikez · 03-10-2008, 06:11 PM

hotrod- i live in Rock Hill, SC.

Looking good Mike. Nice Symmetry in the arms and shoulders. You have that nice serratus under that chest too. Pretty sure you'll do well. I 'll definitely root for you. I'll be in there in my first show in the middleweight novice. You're almost there. Keep it up!!!
