this video is Zeus at 5 weeks out from last years show...
 
Def a big diff. I'm looking forward to doing another video soon and see where I'm at now. Videos are way better than pics in my op. Day off from training today. Needed to let my batteries recharge. Diet is going great. Getting back into fish eating mode, LOL!!!!! Something must be changing cause all day today people were making comments about how big and lean I look....
 
Things have been going great!!!! I'm at 199lbs and looking full and round still. Really been keeping super strict on my diet. Had a great back day at Midwest iron today. All my lifts actualy went up today!!!! I'm feeling way stronger as of late which is a little odd since I'm dieting. Although, I'm eating all quality food sources which makes a huge diff. Clean eating just really agrees with me. I start my peps and more cardio this week, so by this time next week I will really be tightening up. Gna meet up with Chris tomorrow and get some pics and a video done. I'm really having a good feeling about this show comming up!!!!!
 
What are you doing for cardio? You look lean as hell, are you even doing any?

LOL!!!! No, at this point I'm not really hitting the cardio all that much. My diet is really on point and with my metabalism that's really all I need right now. The size diff from last year at this time to now is crazy!!!!! People better be ready for war at the iroman, cause that is what I'm prepaired for!!!!
 
Fukin a Zeus .. Think you are in a great mindset for this and looks like you got lots of great help to push you as far as you can go.. Lots a luck brutha!
 
Grow into a show, cool. What weight do you think you're going to land at?


I think he could land anywhere from 180-185lbs for this show. just depends on if he wants to be bigger and fuller (185) or flatter, but super dry and crisp on stage...(180)...the fuller you are the lines wont be as deep, or crisp on stage..ofcourse you need some fullness, but to much isnt a good thing, or to little..its such a fine line...I personally think for this show, he needs to be crazy shredded cause its the ironman... this show is one week before nationals. so my guess (and i know a couple for sure) is there will be a few national level guys doing it to get there NQ for the show. So he should come in ripped and dry as hell, no matter what his weight is...
 
here is last years show...a few clips and overall...the the midwest ironman winner's...usually are national level shows getting there NQ...Willes Ko won last year and is a jr.national top 5 competor. Many great competor's from chicago, and surrounding area's won this show. I won it way back in 2006..lol !!! seems like ages ago..With Zues, I think he has the size to hang with any lightheavy competor from the midwest. But he needs to be compete like Willis Ko is...and as lean as he is...If he can do that, I can see him in the top 3 no prob...maybe even higher if he is shredded to the bone...so he has to be so perfect on that diet, that he is just sick of it...

If he looks the way I think he will look this sat or sun..I wont make any diet changes...maybe just add in some light cardio 25 mins 4 x week...just for hams and glutes...
 
Damn bro you're looking great! Are you still working in the plant while you're prepping??

Well of course I'm still working at the foundry during my prep. Thats the only way I could afford tot even do this show. Working 10hr days 5 to 6 days a week. Hey chris, I'm not trying to sound cocky but the only guy in the lightheavies that I honestly felt was better than I'm gna be was the guy in the purple trunks. He really looked fckn great. The others I feel I would beat if I bring my A game which is exactly what I plan on doing. Training has been going great and the diet is dead on my brother!!!!! I have had 1 cheat meal and that was on my B-Day and that was 3 steak tacos and i tiny little saucer of beans. I'm taking this very serious and will have no excuses come show time. Just got my IGF so I'm gna run a mini log on how beneficial it is for my pre-contest prep. HGH should be here anytime. I'm looking crazy full and round as hell. Not to mention getting veiny as hell....
 
Oh yeah, I also started some light cardio this week. Just a nice 20 to 30 walk 3 to 4 times a week for now. That will all change prob 5 to 6 weeks out....
 
Other than not being able to do cardio tonite, everything is right on track. My weight is stay between 199 and 202. All this clean food really affects my body in a positive way. I look fuller and rounder not to mention just feal better from eating high quality foods. Going to the gym early tomorrow and get my cardio and back and calve day done. Gotta a security gig at a pretty decent sized rock concert tomorrow nite. Maybe I'll get to abuse my authority, LOL!!!!! Top flight

I already have a ton of respect for you and everyone else that competes. Working in those conditions for that many hours though takes dedication to a whole new level bro!
