Ethan Update: 12 Weeks Out From NPC Northern USA's

Ethan has been training hard and sticking to his plan. He has been training all year for his next show, the NPC Northern USA Championships in Harrisburg, PA on September 26th. Here's his latest update:

"Whats up HOM,

I wanted to update you guys on my current progress, diet and training changes and fill you in on how I'm looking for my upcoming show, The NPC Northern USA's in Harrisburg, PA on Sept. 26, and the Big Cat Classic on Oct. 3rd.

The first thing is I'm bigger and have better conditioning this year at this point than I did last year. I have also made a lot of changes to my shape. I have been invited to train with a bodybuilding team that has seen my potential and has put many competitors on national stages. So, with their guidance and with my work I'm very confident that my bodybuilding career will continue to move toward the goal of competing at the national level.

I'd say I feel confident, but who doesn't want to win? I feel as though I've put emphasis on heavier weight this year and I'm dutiful when it comes to diet and training. Speaking of diet, we just adjusted my plan for the next phase.

My current diet is as follows:

Meal 1:

15 egg whites and 1/2 cup oats

Meal 2:

8oz chicken and 1 cup jasmine rice

Meal 3:

SHOCK, 10g leucine, 4 scoops Recovery Orange, 20g eaas

Meal 4:

4 scoop 100% Whey Protein shake with 2 packets instant oatmeal

Meal 5:

7oz chicken and 1 cup rice

Meal 6:

4 scoop 100% Whey Protein shake

Meal 7:

12 egg whites with 1 yolk

Meal 8:

3 scoop 100% Whey Protein shake

I can handle more protein and food now. I'm still growing and I'm very excited to compete. I want more than anything to win and move on to a national stage... And I'll do it."

As you can see, Ethan is very motivated and he is working very hard. Use the inspiration from Ethan's hard work and progress to fuel your own training!
