V, what does your routine look like off season compared to when you are preparing for a show?

Looking good bro, just curious, how long have you been using gear? I am natural now, but have considered using gear to add some size. I am 5'9 ish also. Only 185 though. If you have any good advice on this thing, let me know. Thanks Bro, keep up the hard work

Me and vander are talking eating for bodybuilding purposes. You are talking about looking looking good in a gym. When im in off season I eat 9 meals a day. I take in eggs, meats, oatmeals, veggies, 2 gals of water and so on. On top of that I eat the junk food to take in more cals. Try eating just 1 day the way I do in the offseason and then tell me im lazy. I hate when people have an oppinion on something that they know nothing about.

yes eatin is no joke i belive its harder than working out. im at 7 meals a day (most of the time) i couldnt imagine 9.

He probably won't answer that, but I remember somewhere he posted it and it wasn't that long. He said he got really good genes.

I ate 9 meals a day for about three years straight and then cut back when I was trying to get lean. It was really nice not to have to cook as much and stop to eat every two hours. I'm back to 9-10meals a day again--I forgot how much work it was but I guess it's what it takes.

I can't even imagine eating 9 meals a day. I'm in between figure competitions and it seems like I'm eating nonstop with 6 meals a day. IMO you need some junk food in the off season to maintain your sanity! It's not like all you eat is cheeseburgers and fries but getting a few treats helps boost the calories.

my god you are unbelievable V!! :woot:

[UCHusky8]

Whenever I'm bulking because I'm a natural endomorph I honestly can't even take in anywhere near 5k calories a day I start at like 2800-3000 and have to work my way up to get there and at some points I find I almost gotta just sit there for a while and force my food down hahaha and I def. don't just magically gain weight by eating junk I gotta pack in my healthy meals w/ usually with my fast food which is usually taco bell.
And V your looking awesome man, your dedication shows!

there is nothing like coming out of a buffet not being able move too fast or your gonna yuke haha....
