How's Craig doing Harley? Has he brought his triceps up?
Dear Neither Animal,
Craig is doing well as he prepares to compete in the 212 Mr. Olympia.
He has been holding his condition for quite some time and actually started his diet 9 months ago. After competing twice already this year
and holding his condition for so long, he is quite tired and ready to get the contest going. Next year will be different in that there won't be
so long a diet. He won't do it and doesn't have to now that Chris Aceto knows his body and has been able to dial him in. Chris has all the top 212
guys in the Mr. Olympia this year so it will be interesting.
As far as Craig's triceps, I think he has brought them up a bit but everyone's body hits its limit and that is all you are going to get out of it.
I talked about this before and I always allude to Shawn Ray. He hit his absolute potential and was not going to get any bigger. That goes for
everybody. Once your body hits its limit, you can take 10,000 mg of test a week and you are not going to get any bigger!!!
I think Craig will be competitive if he can fight off the resistance his body is now giving him for making it hold such a tight condition for so long.
That was probably the one thing I would've changed but it's hard psychologically to get these guys to come off their diets for even a few days once they are
in condition. I just feel that you need to give your body what it needs and if it needs junk food for a short period of time so it doesn't revolt against you, then
you give it several days or even a week. Most guys can recover and their bodies will thank them for the break in the punishment of dieting. But hey, I'm no expert.
