That's why Williams is The Man. 2009 International MB Man of the Year. There's a month left, but unless someone is doing magic tricks, he's got my vote.

You talking about weights right? I'm still on my negative routine doing around 110lbs dumbells I will start doing positives next month so I'm guessing I'm pushing around 125-135lbs dumbells. If not then the 130 or 135s will be my target before switching back to negative sets. My Sumo style deadlifts as of yesterday is at 340 hoping to hit over 400 by end of next month.

VIPclk320 is the one who made the AirINtake, same person who is making the front and rear struts so give him a holla.

Will you be able to still make the show? Hit me up by email.

I haven't seen any, but my spam filter may be going crazy again. I'll have to dig through the trash. Went to a local car show today. I got up close and personal with some German knockouts, but no knockoffs.

Well seeing that you are a bigger Gym Rat than I am you confused the hell out of me with that question. Though I consider myself above average I'm not doing shows. I will probably start dieting in April and be ready for the beach in June.

Once all my performance mods are done I will have a Dyno test done. Waiting for Powerchip to open shop here in Japan in June.

Sorry, I just double checked the email. I need to be asking Ghost that question.
