[greyghost]

Nice work, you're looking huge.

[bigmd]

A few progress shots at 24 weeks out. pretty happy with way things are going, still hoping to hit the 112 to 114kgs by may.

[ohjoshua]

Jesus you grow fast!

not only are you putting on weight but you look much leaner!

wowzers go you.

[gazza]

impressive pics mike. forgive me if this has been asked, but how tall are you?

the olympia aside, are the pro shows divided into weight classes? would there be anywhere we can view pics of the pro shows you are competing in?

cheers

[bigmd]

Hey Gazza,

Im 5foot 8 (174cm) The Pro is an open weight class although the 202 class is held as some shows (202lb/90kg) ill be well over that and hoping for 220-225lb

As far as veiwing pics the will be on FLEX on Line Bodybuilding.com and in the Flex mags, unfortnualy ill only now be competing in 2 shows as the last show i intended to do has been pushed out a week, which would mean i have to add an extra week to my trip,which for both professional and persoanl reasons i cant do. so ill be just doing Tampa and Dallas.

[Darwinstef]

Look really sharp Mike. All the best for your shows \:D/

[pimp]

mean...First time I saw you compete at the Nabba Pro Am with Warren and Darryl I couldnt believe you outsized them. 8) You gona do well. Keep up the good work

[gazza]

that's a shame big guy, all the best for the 2 you are doing. will be watching in anticipation of a good result. look forward to seeing the pics.

go hard

Its been a while since i posted, but im now inside the 20 week mark.

A couple of changes of direction. i have empoyed the services of Dave Palumbo http://www.davepalumbo.com to look after my nutrition.

Hence at 20 weeks out the ball is rolling. Daves ideas on dieting a very different to the way i have dieted in the past. at the moment i am on high Protein high fat and no carbs (ex fiberous)

3 days in and i have dropped a fair chunk of weight all water, this happens and then within 7 to 10 days ill level out as my body addapts to using fat over carbs as an energy source. it will mean a few days of very average workouts but this is the process and you just have to live with it untill you get the ball rolling.

Under his guidance i am using a few new supplements that i havent used before mainly based around keeping healthy throughout the process.

Each week i must take photos and email them to dave with weight progress and what i have been up to.

The lastest pics are at 20weeks and 109kg, not alot of diffence to the 24wk shots really.
