WHAT'S NEW (Updated September 10th, 2010)

Hey everybody!

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this page. I’ve had a lot going on in my life and just haven’t had a chance to come on here and put things down. Basically, in the last few months, I finished my Masters Degree in Engineering Management, and I moved down to Orlando, Florida to start my PhD in Industrial Engineering! Big change down here from what I’m used to back up in DC. But I’m loving this warm weather. While everyone back up North is talking about how it’s starting to get cool for fall, it still feels like summer down here. I’ve been wearing shorts practically every single day I’ve been here, which is motivation for me to step up my calves training.

Lifting is going great, I’m still going strong with Phenom Labs (www.phenomlabs.com) who are coming up with some awesome new products, it’s time to step up your game and pay them a visit!
I joined LA Fitness down here, which is probably the nicest gym I’ve ever set foot in, (and I’ve been to a lot of gyms all around the world). Its huge, tons of weights and machines, and lots of bodybuilders blasting it every night to keep the motivation high! It’s a jungle baby! I’m hovering around 230 lbs right about now, granted it’s a chunky 230, but nevertheless I’m planning to continue on with the heavy weight and this off-season strategy until the end of the year. Come January I am going to start my contest prep and get ready for some spring shows, nothing set in stone yet, but that is the plan on the table right now.

I’ve been very motivated, and doing everything to stay on the right track, no missed work outs and no missed meals, and as always my wife is right by my side being very supportive and helping me through it all.

Hop on the Phenom Labs Forum and check out some of my work out journals, as well as those of other great champs like IFBB Pro Mark Antonek.

Stay tuned and I will try to keep this updated as much as I can!

Thanks for all the support and as always, TRAIN HARD!!!
