Hi folks Mark my nephew continues to improve week by week. Last night we had another insane back workout, Mark pulled 495 in the deadlift which he was very happy about.
We worked for about an hour on his posing routine and its off the hook.
He weighed in today at 200.6 (actually up 1 pound from last week), yet he now looks even better!
A couple of weeks ago we dropped his carbs down and increased the healthy fats.
He was basically at 60% protein and 20% carbs and 20% fat. Starting this week we will drop the carbs to 15% and increase the healthy fats to 25%.
I think he has turned his body into a fat burning muscle building machine. The cuts in his legs are coming a little slower then his upper body. So we will try changing from the treadmill to the eliptical (provided he can maintain his target heart rate).
Right now he is taking in oatmeal for breakfast, and I want him to switch to cream of rice.
Also I was thinking of dropping the 35 grams of carbs from the gatorade (post workout drink) and replacing it with Pure Vitargo (not the creatine mix just the Vitargo).
Has anyone had any experiance with the Pure Vitargo. Everything I have read suggests it would be the way to go.

Sounds great, Steve! Keep him practicing the posing, especially the mandatories and turns. If he doesn't socre in prejudge, he might not get to do the routine (depending on the show, with more than 5 in a class only top 5 pose in night show).
Know that Art Atwood endorses Vitargo, but have no knowledge of it myself. Wishing your nephew much success!
