Steve, how much contest ready weight did you gain between 2006 and 2007?
In 2006 I won the Border States Classic overall in Anaheim, CA. My contest weight was around 195 lbs. I wasn't in very good shape, but originally I training for photo shoots in LA (for example I was on the Ironman cover with Timea Majorova) so if I see this, my shape wasn't too bad.
In 2007 I was so sick at my IFBB pro debut (I throwed up 5-6 times during the prejudging...) and I didn't eat food in the last 24 hour. But after all my bodyweight was around 200-202 lbs.
