Mike, what happened to put you behind in prep? did you start out later to offset overdieting?

ya, but i had stayed so lean for like 5 months after the show and was freakin out that i wasn't putting on size so i kinna went off the diet (ie ice cream, pizza and shit), laura was doing her show so i was focusing on that and honestly didn't think i'd have the cake to do the show either...so up until now i wasn't preparing for it. should have, but i'll be busting my ass to get in as good of shape as i can for it.

Why don't you just double the dosage, and add some T3 and clen in there?

two weeks and flat? right on your doing your job! hammer the "pancakes" to carb up and you'll be dialed! My trainer always had me do it the night before and then a smaller portion the day of and damn it worked! I woke up looking jacked and veins galore!

I know some people might disagree cause they have never put the doritos down for 5 minutes much less dieted but carbing with about 150g's (all from pancakes and tons of syrup

) the night before with a couple of egg whites and maybe a 6oz of water did wonders for me. Last show I was ready to pull out night before cause I looked so flat, woke up after a nice z-bar (couldn't relax) and couldn't believe my eyes! I'm by no means a "Milos" but hey, if I ever did a show again I would do it the same and maybe even try some more carbs...good luck!!!

Don't forget some ice cold wine a bit before you go out...makes for a good time when you normally dont drink

For the record, the "bbd" dieted down from 250 to 195!!!

Boy those where the good ole' days
