I weighed in at 130 for the Colorado State show about six weeks ago.
I was very lean. Now I am in serious mass buidling mode. I am up to
140 now :) That's the most I have ever weighed! The bantam weight
class goes up to 143.25 lbs. I am going to target around 150 lbs and
then cut back to around 140 for my next show. Actually that would be
a huge amount of muscle to gain. Not sure that is really possible in
eight months. I have been training with BJ from Elite Physique who
has won the Mr. Colorado title and his workouts are definitely more
intense than anything I have ever done. I am also eating way more
protein than I was in the past, 200 to 250 g/day.
