Thanks Forrest..appreciate it!

The ABC events is a great way for those interested in the sport to get together under 1 roof and just train with others that love the sport.

Before getting sponsored with Universal, I attended the events just as a spectator and appreciated the company for taking the time to put something like that together. No matter what gym we are at, we always have a great time!

ABC's are Worldwide!

Wow..Thanks alot raging pitbull...truly appreciate your comment!

The one thing that always sticks in my head whenever someone ask me why I do what I do and my response is "I cant do anything about my height, but I can damn sure do something about my size!"

I was always the "little" guy in HS. 4'11, around 100lbs. Got tired of that lifestyle and decided to change my look. It's not easy, but well worth it in the long run!

Hey GK, I recall you saying on the radio show that when you
changed up your diet you went from eating 2.5 hrs to every three hours.. What do you think the benefit of doing that was?

Good question...

The benefit of spreading my meals out:

1. Typically I would eat a meal, then 2-2.5 hours later it was time to eat again and most of the time, I wasnt even hungry but I had to force it down. With now going every 3 hours, I'm so hungry from waiting, that I dont have to force it down.

2. I think it was a better because it spread out my nutrients throughout the day. Overall, it helped to keep me energized throughout the day because I had a better balance.

Is that benefit more because of your admittedly fast metabolism? Would the guys on the slower less gifted have that benefit or would that be better 2.5hrs

I think this will work best for anyone. I'm sure we all get the feeling of not being hungry, but we know it's time to "eat" again. It just forces your body into a new state of hunger.

KevDiesel..Just dropped you a PM, but again, thanx for the comments. Def. appreciate it. Bbing is about creating an illusion. You dont have to be the biggest guy on stage, as long as you look the biggest..that's all that matters!
