im giving serious consideration to trying my hand at a competition in March of next year. Natural Competition. ive been up to 230.. but now i stay around 190-180.

ive got a decent build, and balance, and am looking for indepth advice regarding this endeavor.

im not taking supps. of any kind, MRPs only. living on tuna, water, ramens/rice/potatos and MultiV's.

what are your goals? its easier if you post your routine so you can get feedback..i can tell you from your diet your not taking in enough cals if your looking to add lbm..

Well, I have a few issues. Symetry being one MAJOR one. I think I have a torn pec, however I've never had it checked out. The lower portion of my Right Pec, like isn't there, can't flex it. My right side always goes out first. Left is roaring...

Right Bicep is shorter, and is 1/2" smaller than the left. Shoulder feels like it can dip lower, like it's loose. I can't recall any specific serious injury to my shoulder or pec.. but anyway.. that's an issue.

Besides all this..

I talked with my coach (if I can get my shit together), JJ Marsh (IFBB Pro), and he's ready to kick into high gear.

On my own:
Day1: Back/Chest
Day2: Bis/Tris/Delts
Day3: Hams/Quads
Day4: Calves/traps
Day5: Repeat or Rest

I've done alot of double splits, had great results, but I don't see myself producing gains like some other guys in the gym. I've never touched a steriod, which I probably should reconsider.

Food & Supplement Wise:

12 Cans Tuna
1-2 Gallons H2O
Zero Carbs (normally), but I'm reconsidering this (6 Ramens or 6 Angel Hair Nests)
MRs (GNC or MetRX)
*normally Apex Creatine
*multiV (MegaMen GNC)

There is a contest in March of next year, that I would love to do. It's a natural NPC in Arizona. However, I'm unsure I will be able to due to financial and studying issues.. in any case, I DO wish to compete.

I KNOW that I work harder then anyone I see in the gym. I am focused, sometimes too much, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

So with that all said.. FEED MY BRAIN!

Thanks!

Also..I've yet to inquire from those I know personally, but any quick feedback on using 'gear' to help the torn/abnormal/incomplete (on one side) pec development?

thanks again,
