a. WHat contests have you already competed in? How did you do?
Competed once in a regional show, 9th in heavy classb. What contests do you plan to compete in within the next 16 months? What wt class?
I'll compete again around this time next year, I want to make sure ample improvements are made. Heavy or Super heavy depending.c. How high do you plan to take your bodywt during your off season?
My weight has been as high as 260 this offseason. 245 now but at 7-8%. I'm also on drugs that keep you leaner. I'm going to switching to longer esthers soon and high GH doses and I'll take my weight as high as I can without going above 1012%. 265-270 maybe? We'll see.d. What do you expect your bodywt to be at your next contest?
No clue. All depends on look.e. How tall are ya?
5'10"f. Have you received any publicity in any of the national magazinres?
NO, I am a part of a fitness modeling agency and have done some shoots. No g4p, sorry Bay and the rest of you. 
You seem to be asking a lot of #'s questions. I don't like to be that technical. If I plan to do a show and the show comes and I'm not happy with how I look, I'm not going to step on stage. If I go to the gym and feel I want to lift heavier that day because I have more energy, maybe more calories, etc... I do. I don't worry about the scale much. I weigh 245, but so do some IFBB pro's, 245 looks a lot different sometimes doesn't it? Like Shawn Ray said:
"On a bodybuilding stage, a judge has never asked me about how much I can lift, how much I weighed, and what my bf % was. All they cared about was how I looked." - I kind of feel the same the same way. I train, take the necessary drugs, and eat the way I do to feed my competitive drive and win bodybuilding competitions.
