David Papaleo - Ready for 2011!

**David Papaleo** · 05-23-2011, 10:57 AM

Well, here we go again! First up this year, the NPC Southern States in July.
Right now in these pics I'm 191 lbs, feeling strong, not suffering at all, haven't even started any cardio or hard dieting yet since I never let myself get too far off from last years win at the NPC Florida State Masters.

Hope to make this my best year ever...

You're already shredded!! You're not doing a show until July? Damn impressive David. You should do the Masters Nationals too in July if your
schedule permits......

Dave you are a beast my friend..how old are you and like Kevin suggested you should do Masters Nationals if you can..very, very impressive!!

**hifrommike65** · 05-23-2011, 01:30 PM

Please don't peak too soon!

**David Papaleo** · 05-23-2011, 01:38 PM

Thanks guys! No Mike, no peaking too soon. It's pretty easy for me to hold this condition. Actually, I prefer it. I feel my best between 190-200 lbs. Whenever I used to bulk up a lot, I always felt like shit, and usually ended up losing most of the weight by the show anyway. That's aside from how weak I would feel towards the end. Now I do the opposite. I plan on slowly filling up to the show, and keep getting fuller, harder, and staying strong. I want to come in like a hybrid of Frank Zane's symmetry and Branch Warren's hardness.

Joe, thanks you.....and I'm 41.
