There is no "working like it should" when it comes to overclocking, nothing is ever guaranteed.

Hahahaha dunno.
Though I was a track runner for a long time, so kept my body fat way down, pasta pasta pasta, now it seems my metabolism is like I'm a track runner without the exercise I used to do.
I eat to STAY thin instead of EMMACIATED! :)
Waiting on you Charles though, can't wait for another contest.
