    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    Thanks for the support my dude!! The group I work with, Inside Natural Bodybuilding, actually has a podcast where various athletes and promoters come on and discuss upcoming shows and placings so I wouldn't want to piggy back off of them. One reason I did the web page/blog was because so many...

    Still having to fight some heads games the latter part of this week but regardless I got my butt in the gym and had a killer workout today. Nobody can take away the person you are, and the things you achieve. A lot of people shy away from doing sets as high as 20-40 reps but I truly believe...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    The past few days have very much been a head game for me. Some life events recently got me psyched out and had me worrying a lot throughout the day. The past couple of days hitting the gym was the last thing on my mind. Through all the turmoil and mind games however I continually reminded myself...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    Started the week of in a bit of a crabby mood. A lot of stuff on my mind but I had to remind myself that not matter what's going on in my life, I can't slack off from the gym. Long term goals can't be put on hold just because I don't feel amazing every day. Got in and lost myself in the workout...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    Coming off this weekend I was crazy excited to hit the gym, and of course repped my Core Nutritionals gear and supplements all day! Had a pretty solid workout other than the sheer length which put me just a tad behind today. Hips felt a little tight but they're much better than they were late...

    I'll likely make a full blog on this later but for now this weekend I was able to meet and hangout with the guys from Core Nutritionals all day on Saturday at the show I was covering! I met Doug Miller and his wife, RC Williams, Carl Frady III and Amy Schregardus and they were all freaking...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    Solid workout today! My hips felt a little beat up today however I don't think it's from the smolov but from having chronically tight hips that have caused me trouble for quite some time. With my week being so busy I haven't gotten to do my normal post workout mobility work. Luckily tomorrow...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    To keep myself fresh(er) during smolov jr I'm using my rest days to focus on foam rolling/mobility work. My Thursdays and Sundays are scheduled rest days so this morning I spent 10-20 minutes foam rolling what areas I felt needed more attention before my next squat sessions and also doing hip...
