A few more updates....

I really do plan on getting this site updated......I promise! Things have settled down since the Team U and I'm back to 4 more weeks of hard training for the World Championships in Spain. I can't wait, I feel a lot better going into this one last time as a heavy weight....believe it or not. The team plans are just about finalized, which makes it even more exciting. I'm hoping with my experience as a three time Team USA member will be helpful to the team as we communicate and keep in touch prior to our flight. Even more exciting? Abdul, Dad & Jill will be joining us out there for a little extra American support!! We have extended the trip by a few days to relax, sight-see and enjoy some time on the beach!

Another exciting weekend will be September 10th. Representing Champion Nutrition, I will be doing my first guest posing appearance at the NPC John Simmons Classic Bodybuilding event in Belleville MI. I'm really looking forward to this, meeting new friends and fans!

One last note....A big hug and thank you to George Lang for letting me take a few pictures with his hot car ('03 Mustang). Check back soon for more pictures from this shoot, we really got some good ones.
