Uncle Z asked me to come over here and check out the site. I obliged and here I am.... I am a little guy, compete in the bantams (health issues held me back in weight), but only 5'1". I'm upping the weight this offseaon and am looking forward to some new muscle.
As far as my history, I've been training seriously since I was 13 and am now 27, so more than half my life has been spent dedicated to the iron. I have had numerous pursuits, from powerlifting, to military preparation training (but landed an awesome job and never enlisted), to bodybuilding. I first competed at 16 and did several shows throughout college and put bodybuilding by the wayside after I graduated to get my career together and focus on me health, as it had deteriorated from a pituitary condition I have. In 2012 I got back on stage but after several months of gaining weight, I was struck with a GI infection and lost 40lbs. It took several months to recover and this past year I stepped back on stage, winning my class at 2 shows. I have very strong knowledge of DC training and have worked with and continue to seek out help from Dr. Scott Stevenson. I've been in close contact with Scott for about 4.5 years and try to learn all I can from his expertise.
I am very in tune with the science behind this sport and also do things myself just to gain the experience. I've done intermittent fasting to determine the effects on my physique, I've tried going ovo-lacto vegetarian to see the results... I experiment so that I can help others.
I look forward to learning from others here and hope I can contribute a few useful tidbits as well.
I attached a few pics from my last show...
