I know its partially the favorable lighting, but you blew up dude. still very lean as well[/quote]
Thanks. That is a VERY good light Everyone in my gym loves that thing.
In 2 weeks I take a 12 week progress shot for my experiment with CT’s Layers, which is done in my usual room with my normal camera, so I can pop back in here if the thread is still going and post of a more accurate shot of where I’m at.

Damn nice progress man, delts are much more prominent as well as abs. What kinda fasting protocol are you following?

Looks like you’ve put on a good chunk o muscle since your contest, it’ll be interesting to see what it looks like when you diet down again. Nice job man

Thanks, good to hear. Its hard to judge your own physique sometimes because you live with it every day and its tough to see the changes.
I will definitely diet down again at some point, most likely at the start of 2014… But I dont think I will get into competition shape again. I was single when I did it last time, and with the amount of time I had to devote to it and the sacrifices that go along with it, it would be quite selfish of me to ask that of my girlfriend.
I ran a 4 week “quick cut” last year and lost 8-10 pounds of blubber, so if I can stay this lean I will do an 8-12 week one and just call it quits there, which should leave me lean enough to make meaningful comparisons on growth.
