WHAT'S NEW (Updated May 22nd, 2009) Hey Everybody, It has been a long time since I have updated this section. I've just been extremely busy with so many things. For starters I've moved back with my wife to Washington DC (After living in Egypt for almost 4 years). The main purpose for moving was the fact that I got accepted into an Engineering Management Master's program. One can never get enough education!! Off-season training has been going great, as many of you know, I haven't competed since summer of 2008. It was obviously a little shaky during the move, but things have stabalized now and I'm pounding the weights as hard as ever. I'm doing my best to maintain a decent weight... right now I'm hovering around 215 lbs and keeping the diet clean. Its time to add some serious muscle, while maintaining a bodybuilder's "look" in the off-season and all year round. I promised in the past, no more getting fat, and I'm sticking to that promise. Competing again is very close on the horizon, maybe not in 2009, but I will definitely be back on stage spring of 2010. Look for me at the OCB Spiti of America in Cape Cod and at the OCB Eastern Regionals in Maryland, definitely some other shows too, but I will confirm those when I finalize my plans. Other exciting news is; I am now officially teamed up with Phenom Labs. This a very fast growing supplement company based in Massachusetts and, mark my words, it is destined to become the number one company in the industry. Their product line is a complete and growing one, offering a no BS approach to supplement manufacturing and it's truly an honor to be apart of the team!!! Well it's really excellent to be back in Washington and around the local bodybuilding scene again. I'll be attending many of the shows in the area and participating in the on going seminars. And of course as always destroying the weights at Golds Gym! I'll do my best in keeping everyone updated about whats going on. Thanks for all the support! And as always train hard!!! BIG ACH
