Hey AD, good to have you posting on this board.Yes I'm getting ready for the Iron Man. I'm excited. 1 of my old training partners that had moved away came back for a few months and we've had some incredible training sessions. I promised his wife who he'll be joining after the show I'll get in that top 5 so I have high expectations. posted some shots today on you tube search Adorthus. Again I'm glad to be on the board.
Q. You prepping for the Ironman? IF not whats the 09 gameplan?

Also AD I'm curious, since ur prepping for the ironman, whats ur current contest diet like at the moment???egg whites oatmeal then the next 5 are fish/lean ground turkey/or chicken and sweet or red potato and unlimited greens a pre cardio shake a workout shake a lil fish oil a dab of this on my last meal ;) last meal is eggwhites sometimes fiber one as a treat some almonds here and there. Thats a rough outline
You looking to do some other shows besides the IM? If you can travel, you should make a trip to Australia contact TheMessiahofMuscle aka Tony Doherty.Well a good friend of mine and training partner is moving to New Zealand for 6 months so that is a good possability!
DUDE YOU BOUNCED BACK AFTER THAT FIRST OUTING ,U WERENT UR BEST TOOK IT AND MADE NICE REBOUND,GOOD LUCK.Yeah a couple friends and I were cracking up watching a video we shot a couple days before and the night before
yo AD.Just left the Fit Factory modesto store. Austen is good to me he donates to my contest prep every time. waxy maze ,protein powder ,glutamine and creatine stuff that starts adding up fast when you don't have a sponsor. Plus we get our family's together, so the short answer is yes :)
still talk to austin?

Gotcha, some guys are reluctant to talk about those things.I sent you a personal message. I'm new here and I will answer every ? as honestly as I can but I have a son a fiance and a family so I respect other peoples PARENTS and loved ones. sounds funny until you imagine some guy's on the internet telling your kid when he's 16 yrs old that he started doing drugs and now he's a rock star and your kids saying why can't I. Joe blo is famous and he does BLO.
ad i have a question for uMy stomach is pretty much flat all the time my son has abs all the time at 8 years old he guest posed with me at age & and 8. I do work hard at my conditioning but I have a great head start. I dont ever get much heavier than 245 and I compete around 230 so I don't ever gain enough weight to earn a gut.
a serious question
ive seen u on stage-u have the 6 pack...lower abs look flat
but when u are not on stage and u ar eliving your life obviously u are not stage ripped but u must have a lean stomach with abs i bet
now your lower abs...are they flat all the time or does your lower stomach stick out abit??
i also have another question:
i notice u have good vasculaity
im pretty lean and i have semi thick thin veins on my bicep and forearms but the rest of my veins are blue...i have these blue veins everywhere...chest calves forearms lower stomach shoulders quads...the blue veins but not thick veins...whats going on?
thank u!

So i will never glorify that side of it.
Gotcha, some guys are reluctant to talk about those things.I really did buy a juicer last month at Bed Bath and Beyond so I guess since Bea and I are the only ones that knew that we're the only one's who thought that was kinda funny atleast whitty answer to the "juice"?

AD what's your thoughts about those guys who haven't touched a weight in there whole lives, running around in charge of the bodybuilding scene? honest answer bro, the world is watchingI think when things go your way that's more acceptable,when they don't that's the first thing I can admit to pointing out.
I think when things go your way that's more acceptable,when they don't that's the first thing I can admit to pointing out.
I can say forsure it's a business and every thriving sport is. One I'd like to do well in as a matter of fact.
Here's an analogy I wouldn't have a nascar champion directing a down hill ski contest or visa versa, but a rep from Vogue Mag could tell you which racer in either sport will look good on the cover and give them a contract!
so maybe sometimes you need not have participated in the sport you control ;)
I never got paid 500$ once by a certain fellow from a certain mag right after I turned pro, I was in Texas I had just turned pro My good friend Raj bought us tickets to the cowboys redskins game and I didn't have time ...... anyway he needed me to complete his articles and he's never paid me the 500$ my point is your right If he had ever busted his ass in the gym for 14 years like i had he would've paid me. As for the IFBB I love it! I decided a few years ago I wanted to work my way up in this family and no matter where it takes me I'm in the family. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Manion and his governing bodies or I'd do something else.

Vascularity is a mystery to me I've never been as vascular on stage as I am during the next three weeks but that paul demayo sure had a secret. I was gonna say blood is blue when its flowing through your body and red when the air hits it but my girl started laughing her ass off at me!
She said some people have veins that are closer to the surface? I'll ask my nutritionist
ad whats your long term plans for your physique? going to add alot of size , take it slow and steady, try to refine anything?I know my legs can definitely improve and my hams and glutes .I'd like more chest thickness and more detail on my back.
posted on you tube 01/02/09 (3 weeks out):
you dont think your back is lacking?I know my legs are lacking! my back is fine and There's not 1 single body part that I don't try to improve every day. My back is cool it reminds me of when your a kid and you put paint on 1 side of a paper and fold it. Then when you open it up, it looks like a symmetrical butterfly. it's great to be huge but it's so much better to be big enough and still look good.i never wanted to look like a freek. Who has that for a goal? SHREK?
*bump for sum updates!I just posted on you tube.
where u at AD?
*bump for sum updates!I'm up to eat then back to sleep!
where u at AD?
I just posted on you tube.Hallelujah!.........(there he is) ;D looking dry ripped and ready my friend!
I just bought a new cannon digital camera so maybe I'll shoot some photos.
I notice you lose a lot of detail transfering from flip video to youtube.
I'll let you know whether I post them online or on my new website adchery09.com and teamcherrybody.com
New website looks great as well!
my new website is up and running
AD at what age did u started training,and when did u decided that you wanted to become an ifb pro one day??MY mom was a single parent so I was going to the gym at a very early age when my mom would play racquetball at Kangaroo courts! That's about 100 years ago it seems. In sixth grade I got my first Olympic bench press. It was a b-day gift from a man dating my mom who is now call DAD.
thanks
ad, you have a great back.When I'm really training my back routine consists of
can you share your back routine and tell me if you change the excercises or stick with the same ones.
thanks.
When I'm really training my back routine consists ofthanks, how about bigJ's question? i'm interestd in that too.
bent over barbell row-seated low row-tbar row or lever row-pulldowns front
or pulls front-bent over barbell-seated row machine-hammer strength low row
I choose to go last during our workouts so I never choose the excersises and I always try to do the most reps and have the best form.
we joke around and say , oh its muscle confusion day but that's what it is.
I needed to add thickness and still do so we train a lot of rows
but we did pullups once!
AD.....................WAKE UP BRO!

Well there it is if I would've told you that ,you guy's would say I'm lying.
14 cheesy biscuits we split 2 1/2 lbs of crab legs and you have to finish your whole meal salad and a min 2 course with potato or rice and veggies
AD,B who manages my life answered that ? and if we're lucky she will tell us the precontest amounts which she knows and of course my nutritionist,but she cooks all the food and if I look like I'm flattening out she adds a little bit of this or a little bit of that (potato's,rice,sweet potato etc.)
Can you post your offseason diet and precontest diet please?
Also, how many calories and grams of protein do you take in a day offseason and precontest?
Many thanks
I'm up i only missed 1 ? ;DAD.....................WAKE UP BRO!

I do not know whether to hate him or admire him :D
Er, okaaay....
Big J!! I really wasn't joking. He really does eat all that stuff. Seriously. However, his contest diet consists anywhere from fish and chicken. Which I just added chicken to his diet since AD said he's willing to eat anything!! I wonder if he'll eat Bison?? :) Red & Sweet Potatoes, Rice or Black beans, lots and lots of veggies as well as egg whites and oatmeal sometimes cereal if he has a hard time with that stuff.Dam B now I feel guilty....not ;)
The one thing I always do is cook all is food with spices. AD "never" eats anything plain. I give him ketchup (organic low sodium no sugar)...BBQ sauce (same thing as the ketchup)...lots of lemon juice...lots of pepper...lots of chili powder...cumin....etc... .etc. You get my point. I don't even take out salt. He can also have low sodium soy sauce with sushi.....and he's allowed a treat if he eats all his meals....french toast with protein powder,egg whites, and almond breeze smothered in sugar free syrup with a touch of butter. ;)
So there you have it....I gave away a few of my secrets....hopefully it helps!

I wonder if he'll eat Bison or Wild Salmon now?? :) Red & Sweet Potatoes, Rice or Black beans, lots and lots of veggies as well as egg whites and oatmeal sometimes cereal if he has a hard time with that stuff.

I'm a big fan of organic stuff so AD gets alot of good wholesome healthy food. Anywhere from organic juiced carrots, beets, cabbage, oranges, apples...parsley...all organic no pesticides or contaminants. The protein he has is also pretty healthy. No hormones or antibiotics....free range, organic, not caged or farm raised. AND.....No growth... like he needs that stuff. ;D

Mr CherryWhat a long vacation :)
I was checking your position at ironman pro and i would like to read from you if you consider your condition better than oleg/aiman's conditioning.
Both look pretty big, more conditioned, and they placed worse than you.
