What are some of your best lifts? |

What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You? |
| Eat lots of chicken and meat even if you are in off-season. Try not to eat so much junk food either, that is killing you, if you are on diet before the contest. Take supplement such as BCAA & Glutamine, and protein before and after workout, and before bed. |
