what was your diet like Tim?

Dave,I ate real light(small meals),high protein,low to zero carbs with a carbup day,sometimes two,but not real high every three to five days.

Typical low carb day was a shake in water two times a day.....pre-and post-workout,a can of tuna and water 3 times a day,and 10 eggwhites with 1-2 whole eggs...............=6 meals.

For carbups I usually ate 2-4 baked potatoes only early in the day......also used dextrose at PW,but eliminated it as I got closer to the contest.

Suffered like a fucking dog. :)

Drank tons of water too.

Post by: wes on October 08, 2007, 05:29:27 PM

Oh yeah,Dave..........I went by the mirror only and didn`t care what I weighed as I usually do........no clue how light I was,but I kept a lot of muscle and created an illusion of size.

I was real light though,I do know that.

Tim looks there like you were SHREDDED.  I bet you're still shredded.  Why don't you take some pics in the mirror or something?  I wanna see some more of your conditioning up close.  Plus it'd be cool to see what kind of wall paneling you have.   :-X

Congratulations, man, you just keep pushing forward with this shit!

Nice, now you abuse steroids.  Sweet! ;)

I don't ridicule someone who tries to kick a drug/drinking problem.  However, don't confuse steroids with "good drugs".  It's a very foolish mentality, but an easy rationalization to make.  I'm sure competing really verifies your drug abuse, much like many others who "compete".

Been over this many times on this board.

Started training in 1969................eat like a Spartan,haven`t missed a training session in over 4 years.,not one.


I train circles around most people I`ve ever met,and do cardio religously.


Someone always pulls the drug card,though I haven`t used drugs in many years.


Don`t limit your progress,bust yuour balls.

that's bbing ,someone who takes his body to its peak at any age and gets rewarded for it.most bbing fans or followers get jaded and only see bbing as cutler,coleman type pros,most or all people can never achieve that level let alone get in decent shape.good job...
