Hi
I'm 36 year ols. 4'11 currently 185 lbs ( 84 kilos) on my way to 195-200 and ripped on stage at 158 lbs ( 71.5 kilos). Off season, cold, my arms are currently 18 and 1/4 inches ( 47 centimeters) and my legs are 27.5 inches ( 70 centimeters).
I've been compeeting mostly in the UK in NABBA. I did not compete recently but I've been guest posing the past three years. When I guest pose I'm in stage condition, ripped to the bones. Since I'm a teacher I find it difficult here to compete during the school year but this is where most of the contests take place in france.
I'm currently off season and I plan to compete in 2009 in the French nationals ( still have to chose the federation though !). I'm taking a 2 year-break to put on more mass : my dream would be to be ripped at 165 lbs ( 74 kilos ), which would be amazing for my heigth. But I find it already hard to carry so much weight on a small frame... so we'll see.
I love training heavy : i'm often told I'm strong... I don't know if it's true but low reps, low rest and high volume is my favourite routine! I train 5-6 days a week depending on the routines. Diet wise I stick to 3500 calories off season which is plenty enough for me.
Well i guess you know almost everything about me now. I've loaded some photos in " my photos" catalog but don't know how to make a link to them. Help !
