O_RYAN's Preparation for Sept 14th SPF Meet in Houston

Great numbers for a 181er lifting raw. I'm definitely in. Have you dropped bodyweight a bit? I thought you were around 2 bills. If you start lifting with some knowledgeable guys, don't be surprised if your bodyweight goes up with your PRs. Once I started lifting heavier again, I found myself starving all the time and had to up my calories to feed the muscle. Next thing I knew, I had put on a few pounds.

I was up right around 202 a couple months back, but since I've been tweaking my diet to lean down a little. My lady likes me leaner, which I do too... But I figured slowly dropping a couple pounds over the coarse of the next few months won't be too difficult while still maintaining my strength. In working with my training partner for just 1.5 weeks, I've managed to correct my horrible setup on bench. I still have a long way to go, but I'm taking his direction really well.
