Whats crazy about Valdamir, is a very unconventional bodybuilder.He is a succesful gymnist, who I beleive has a strong educational backround.But really tripped me out, when we had dinner with him and his GF after Nationals lat year, is a heavy smoker.I dont know if he quit.But IMO I would guess smoking heavy could make your body retain water.I have known guys who smoked and bodybuild in the past and they would never get dry, until they quit smoking.
I told him not to carb load, but to instead fat load next time he did a show.
I think he took my advice because he wa 15th at Nationals and took Won the Mr USA's
He suprised me on how little he knew about diet, and weighed food, for a National level athlete.
He has always looked good, but I think he just need a lil help fine tuning his physique.
