Congrats to Steph who took 3rd against some of the best in the World. Obviously I would have placed her differently :-) but that is the sport (and I am obviously biased lol)!!! She looked awesome and I am super proud of her! (She was up 5 am this morning and already trained! That's my girl!)
I...
Well here we are about 72 hours before stage time. Phew what a journey. I can honestly say at this point that I have done everything that I can do and no matter where I pace I am confident that no one has worked harder and I am proud of that. 25 weeks is a long time to not eat out, not cheat...
Long time no post. Things are still trucking along. Weight is pretty steady around 190 and glute lines now connecting on the inner cheeks :-). I should come in a couple pounds tighter for the Yorton than the Cape. I was 189 the Thursday before the Cape. Energy and strength are still really good...
What an amazing weekend! Steph and I feel really blessed to be able to not only compete together, but to both win the same show against such an awesome lineup! I'm not sure we could have asked for a better weekend. We are very thankful to have such a good group of friends and family there...
Awesome news! The 2009 OCB Cape Cod Natural/IFPA Gaspari Nutrition Men's Pro Classic & Dymatize Figure Pro Classic will be available on a live webcast!
For those of you who can't make the trip, there will be a live internet video feed starting at 10:50 AM on Saturday October 10, 2009. Pros go...
Well here we are. 6 days out. Today was my last cardio only day (I hate these) and 70 minutes of incline treadmill at 10.0 incline and 3.2 speed almost killed me. I then hit a little calves and abs and posed. Just hit up the grocery store for some last minute items and I think we are all set...
WOW time is flying and I am definitely due for an update. Everything seems to be going really well except a little nagging knee pain but I am excited to hit the stage. I took some pics at three weeks out and feel like I am at an all time best (size and leanness). I'm still going to push it...
Another couple solid days of training....only 4.5 weeks to show time. Bumped up cardio just a couple extra minutes in the morning and made a slight calorie drop. May incorporate a large refeed (bigger than the usual higher carb day) soon...we shall see. Each morning my glutes become a little...
Another great workout...Hammie night....decided to start off with high rep squats. Did a couple of sets of 20 with 315. Here is a video:

Then moved on to laying leg curls (worked up to stack plus 35), walking barbell lunges (worked up to 225), romanian deadlifts (was...
What the heck!!!! I know I sound like a broken record but it doesn't even seem like contest prep. Recovery is amazing and workouts have been complete crushfests! Cals bumped up again slightly and still leaning out and noticing changes daily. That is the hardest part about doing your own...
Another great chest workout....it takes me a couple sets to get going but then it is on! I looked back at my training log from last time I competed and I am stronger now at a little under 6 weeks out than I was 9 weeks out last time (and 5-6 pounds less fat!). Things are still plugging along...
Another week down! Still feeling really good all things considered and although strength has gone down a little on some compound movements and presses due to the lower bodyfat, I am really happy with the weight I am still moving and somewhat surprised. Steph was just commenting the other day...
Metabolism is on freakin' fire. Bumped cals up slightly last week and still lost 2 pounds. Going to back off the cardio just a touch and keep carbs a little higher (even though yesterday was a high day). More cals + less cardio while still leaning out = :-). Good thing is my strength is still...
Update time. Another solid week of training. Strength still really strong and still leaning out. Really crushed the quads on Sunday and had a solid all around chest workout yesterday. Today I struggled all day long. I had to walk down 7 flights of stairs for a fire drill and felt like...
