Hi, Everyone:

Just wanted to let everyone know that although I am new to Musclemania.com, I won the overall last year at the Musclemania Chicago. I like the way the show was sponsored and run - it was a 100% class act by the judges and the competitors. I'd have to say everything went very smooth and my diet was right on the money. So I've decided to try my luck at this year's Musclemania Superbody in Miami Beach in the Men's Open Division. I'm planning on coming in a bit heavier and hopefully just as lean as I was in Chicago. It will be a great personal achievement.

I follow a mixed up low carb diet, 3 days low and 1 carb up day and repeated. Lots of fiber, protein and essential fatty acids are key to my diet. I started my diet 8 weeks out. The last week of my diet before the show is the most intense and done a little different. I stay heavy in the gym throughout my diet. I believe you still want to try to maintain much of your explosive muscle mass since it makes up a great majority of muscle mass. I've been using a great protein product from Egg Whites International that has helped me harden out and gain size on my low carb diet. It's a pure liquid egg white product. I learned that Egg Whites were the purest & most versatile form of protein in the world. I learned that your body cannot digest a raw egg white due to a substance called avidin in the egg. Egg Whites International gets by all this through a unique pasteurizing technique. Not only does this product save me money but a lot of time in the morning having to prepare a dozen eggs, that means more time to sleep in. I've included a special section on my website because I like this product so much. Click on my site below to learn what this product has done for me.

I'm also a part time fitness model and have had the pleasure with working with fitness & bodybuilding photographer Richard Morris (www.ScorpionPhoto.com) whose pictures have graced the covers and pages of many of today's popular fitness magazines. He will also be at the contest this year to support me along with my good friend Ron Stone (www.RonStone.net). Thanks guys for your support. I also have the pleasure once again to shoot with one of bodybuilding's top photographers, Eric Jacobson (www.impactphotography.com), a week after Miami, so I have to keep on my diet... ouch! Thanks Eric for the shoot once again, always a pleasure to work with you.

I also have more info and pictures about me at my website www.BodyByDecker.com

So come stop by and check it out.

Also, give me a shout anytime - Send me a Message.

Thanks,

Dan
