I'm jealous. A kid from my gym is doing the teen division/teen nat.s. I wish I could remember his name. Do you know anyone in the show?

Yes, guy we went to see won his pro card, very exciting stuff!

I also pee'd next to John Meadows, kind of surreal lol. John took second, again, to Mikey (guy I went to see) poor guy. Story of his life, ill still be using the fukc out of his training methods tho!

[breezy11]

Congrats to Mikey on the pro card, but too bad for JM. Did Meadows rock the mutton chops on stage?..if not, that's probably why he didn't take first lol.

Meadows is like, the king of 2nd place.

I don't think I'll ever understand how men can pee right next to each other, yet won't talk through the stalls.

Training and cardio had been spot on until this morning, I accidentally turned off my alarm. Woke up just in time to make it to work. Luckily I prepped all my food for the week.

Ill be blasting arms 2maro with 30min HIIT followed by 15 LISS (45total) then it's carb time 2maro! Nothing crazy, mostly rice as my carb source (with a bagel as "dessert". I'm keeping it clean expect for 1 cheat meal Sunday night but even that will only be. Burger and fries most likely. It'll be nice training shoulders carb'd up. 2 LISS cardio sessions 2maro (45min each) with Thursday probably being an off day with a 30min HIIT session and 45min LISS later in the day.

Ill try and have my girl snap some Friday morning after cardio, we usually do it together in the am, makes life roughly 1,000,000 times easier.

I would have this morning as I was working on posing as she was finishing but didn't have my phone. Got a solid 45 LISS just started my carbs up.....

4oz 96/4 ground beef
4 egg whites
1/2 cup white rice (dry measure)
Murdered with ketchup.

Next on the menu is a P28 bagel with cream cheese and 3/4 cup steel oats with a little brown sugar (pre made from BJ's 9gr sugar total)

I made 2 cups of rice (280gr carbs) and have 3 bagels and 3 packages of oats (175gr carbs)

That pushes the daily total to about 450, see how I feel. I'm down .5lbs from Sunday morning

It's semi frustrating answering questions of "are you going to be ready?" I wanna just say "look I'm not a naturally lean skinny fukc who can hold conditioning for 5 fukcig weeks like 90% of physique guys!!!!!"

No offense to any of my brothers on AM who do physique but this is more normal for most physique guys. I'm 20lbs heavier than 2 other national level physique guys at my height at my gym & they're both pretty shredded all year round. Not to mention I'm still holding some water from my surgery (doc said it'll be there til mid August)

Just venting a little to my AM peeps, thanks for reading

Chili is waiting for me post workout

There's a noticeable difference in how I look/feel from days I take my custom blend in line with AAV2 & recompodrol.

That blend is legit but I had a little too much fat with it the other day (I miss measured and had 45gr instead of 15gr) and had some GI issues but I think it benefitted me in the long run lol.

That blend needs to be released to the public. Ill prolly want more when I go a 4 week bulk post show

[Distilled Water]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Worked 40hrs over he weekend, yesterday was my first day off in about 9? Wasn't even really a day off, had baseball stuff to do at night.

Still be training and eating like a champ. Weights about 182 right now, had a great carb meal on Sunday at longhorn steak house...

8oz sirloin with mushrooms/onions
2 large, loaded sweet potatoes
3 baskets of bread

Ill probably re feed with a bit more next week, probably 3 loaded sweet potatoes. I'm also going to switch to tilapia & egg whites for all solid meals and 1/3 cup rice pre-workout at the 3 week mark. Training has been 2 on 1 off really and ill probably keep it that way until the 1 week out mark then deplete.

Starting to tan today, hopefully bring some
Cuts out of my pasty belly

What kind of tanner are you going to use for the show? They have a professional tanning service, but we were just going to use the aerosol protan.

Ill do a few based with pro tan then idk. I think my girl said something about having stuff to tan me sat morning. As you can tell I'm very concerned lol.

How much is the pro stuff they have their? My last show was $100 or something crazy, GFY is what I said to that

I don't recall, but it was over 100 for 2 coats and oil/touch-ups on show day. Maybe 125. Last year I had mine done professionally but I was so dark already that I only needed 1 coat so it was only 75 and it came out beautiful. I would get it professionally done because you're guaranteed to have great color but I just cant spend that much right now. Rent > spray tan.

If you go with Protan I'd get the aerosol. It's the same stuff, just in a spray can. I haven't used it but all of the reviews say it's much easier to use and goes on more evenly than the kind with the sponge brush. We've got two people to paint and the last thing I want to do the night before a show is stand there for hours with a little sponge dabbing away.

I'm in the same boat with the $$$. It'll be between paychecks for this new job and pay cycle and the show is right in the middle so I feel your pain.

I have a bottle of pro tan that my buddy had left over from his last show, full and untouched. Maybe ill invest in the spray can too, use it to just finish up.

Thanks for the tips!!!!!

Lucky you brother! I've been putting money away for my first show in 9 weeks and I didn't know it was going to be this expensive but it's worth it IMO. Looking solid OP keep up the great work. Good luck
