| Registered User   | 7/28/2008 Back - Biceps Very fun training today and pleased with how things are rollin! I hit a hypertrophy back and bicep workout this morning with sub-max weight, moved some blood and worked up an awesome pump. Woke up this morning more tight than I've ever been and it's only Tuesday! I have a feeling that I will, without question, nail peak week! I have a 30 min. date with some moderate intensity cardio this evening... enough to work up sweat. I've been performing my cardio outdoors lately. Seems as if my gym prefers to keep the temperature just above freezing to comfort the old folks who like to do cardio and not sweat.  TRAINING BACK 1) BB Rows: 3 sets 2) Seated V-Grip Rows: 3 sets 3) Lat Pulldowns: 3 set (seated on floor) 4) Cross body DB Rows: 3 sets 5) Rope Pullovers: 1 set BICEPS: 1) DB Curls: 3 sets (double arm) 2) Machine Preachers: 2 sets WNBF Pro "MEDIOCRITY IS NOT AN OPTION"-- Me "Sacrifice is the barrier between mediocrity and excellence!" |

| Registered User | 7/30/2008 Chest - Shoulders PUMP!!! That's what it was about today! Pumped mentally and worked up a damn fine physical pump as well! I hit chest and shoulders this morning utilizing sub-max weight and focused on pushing volumes of blood deep into the belly of the muscle. It was one of those workouts where I didn't want to stop and wanting to add weight but being this close to showtime I have to stick to my prescribed protocol. Very much looking forward to progressing in the weights next week and gettin my GROW on! I feel great and mentally and physically. This weekend can't get here fast enough!!! Training CHEST 1) Incline Hammer Strength: 3 sets 2) Machine Flat Press: 4 sets 3) Cable Flyes: 3 sets / 3 angles SHOULDERS 1) DB Press: 3 sets 2) Side Laterals *superset* Bent Overs: 2 sets 3) Seated DB Shrugs: 2 sets WNBF Pro "MEDIOCRITY IS NOT AN OPTION"-- Me "Sacrifice is the barrier between mediocrity and excellence!" |

| Registered User | 7/31/2008 Full Body Circuit Just in from my 40 minute full body circuit training. I ran through a complete circuit 4 times, higher reps and sub-sub-max weight. Just enough to break a sweat and pump some blood in to the muscle bellies. I have a somewhat busy schedule today.... supermarket, shaving, applying tan, very light cardio, rest, prepare meals and macro breakdowns for tomorrow, rest, rest, pose and rest some more. I'll be heading out early morning for a couple hour drive to Evansville. Polygraph/Urinalysis at 1030 a.m. Picking up Flex in the afternoon, hotel check-in at 3p.m. Competitor's meeting, light workout etc... Looking forward to the gettin this thang ON!!! It'll soon enough be an awesome memory!!! Training Full Body Circuit: 4 circuits / 40 minutes.

| Registered User | Mini Update... Well the pre-judging is complete! I'm very happy with the conditioning that I brought. There were 5 guys in my Medium Height Class and a few packed some decent size but their conditioning wasn't up to par. I had a blast and know that I brought my best self and it's in the judges hands at this point. It may not mean much but I was center stage in the line up during our final pose and exit. On a side note... WNBF Pro Kurt Weidner, truely lives up to his nickname "ANIMAL"!!! Super nice guy with a physique and conditioning that should set a standard in Natural Bodybuilding. Impecable posing and presentation. I'd gladly wager a pay check on a number 1 spot for him this evening. Time for some rest before we head back in a few hours. I'm antsy as hell and on a complete energy high. Here's a recap on what I consumed thus far leading up to the stage. - 2 steaks - 2 sweet potatos - Detour Bar - Numerous Rice Cakes with PB&J - Reeses Cups - Fish - more sweet potatos Gonna get our grub on at a nice pizza joint after the show. I'm sure Tommy is chompin at the bit for some Pizza. I've heard him mention it over and over both today and yesterday!!! More Updates as we progress! I greatly appreciate everyone's support. I'm BRINGIN IT! WNBF Pro "MEDIOCRITY IS NOT AN OPTION"-- Me "Sacrifice is the barrier between mediocrity and excellence!" |
