These are pics from the "2001 Mr. & Mrs. Natural Southern States Classic & Xtreme Fit Championships" that was held on April 14th, 2001. I started dieting in mid-December weighing 230. I did cardio five mornings per week that consisted of 30 minutes of stepper and 30 minutes of bike. I alternated calves and abs every morning after my cardio session. I did my normal workout routine 4 nights per week. Monday: Chest/Tri's, Tuesday: Quads/Hams, Wednesday: Off, Thursday: Shoulders/Traps, Friday: Back/Bi's.
The morning of the show, I weighed in at 179, a 51 pound loss from my 230 pound start. I'm not sure what my bodyfat was, but I was as shredded as I've ever been in my life. I ended up taking 2nd in the Novice Men's Tall class and 4th in the Open Men's Tall. (FYI: All-Natural shows are divided up into height classes instead of weight classes.) One week before the show, we were all polygraphed and had a urinalysis done, just to make sure that the playing field was equal.
That's plenty of text for this page! Sorry it turned out to be a book, hope you enjoyed the pics.
