Ahh thats great bro. Enjoy it down there for sure, i miss the weather and not worrying about this rain, or if its going to snow, hail, who knows.

And the first one is an NPC local show, national qualifier.
Second two are pro qualifiers in the INBF and USBF (natural federations.)

I definitely can't complain about the weather down here, ESP compared to Ohio, it's sunny and 88 today here!

So are you using the npc show as more of a warm up or do ya have a show that's most important to ya?

Thats it man .. if you keep your diet under control, you really shouldnt need any more than that, you will begin to cut into muscle ..

And yea its gonna be a long stretch .. again .. but ill take a longg break afterwards.
