Adam Harding looking to settle a few scores at the PCA UK Open

ADAM HARDING says he will display his "best look ever" at the PCA UK Open on Sunday.

Harding stormed to the overall victory at the PCA Yorkshire in September, after winning the bodybuilding tall category, but was a surprise second place at the British Finals last month.

And on Sunday he plans to settle a few scores by bringing what he describes as his best package ever.

Harding, who is about 6ft 5in and 275lbs ripped, said: "So after the British I had to change coach. I was planning on going straight into the off-season after the British. But the approach from my new coach has been quite different. We took five days on higher food, took all cardio out, pulled steps down and we had a couple of cheat meals just to freshen up the body. And then from there, he just used food and kept my steps to about 12000, again no cardio in the past three weeks.

MONSTER! Adam Harding is set to bring a better look than this at Sunday's UK Open

"This seems to be bringing a fresher look. I'm definitely tighter than I've ever been. So as long as the loading goes well, which he is finding out at the moment it takes a lot of food to get me full, it should definitely be my best look yet."

Harding only changed his coach due to feeling he needed a fresh start. He said: "It was no other reason than it was time for a change. I'd been eight years with the same guy. He's my best mate I just wanted to try something different. Part of the reason I wanted to win the British so much was to go out on a high with him. But it wasn't to be."

Harding's new coach is Tom Hames. He certainly looks as though he is in good hands. He added: "I was 275lbs on morning of the British. I was 261 this morning pre loading. I'd imagine I'll be similar weight, maybe slightly lighter, by Sunday."

PCA UK Open – watch out.
