Fourth Year Student: My Senior Year

Friday, July 4, 2008 - Happy Fourth of July!

It's been a week since my final contest of the year. I have enjoyed eating without consideration of diet or contest prep. I started dieting for my June shows last November. I have to say my diet and contest prep this year were on target and in the zone. I came in harder, leaner, more cut, more vascular and more muscular than any time in the past five years. I learned a lot about contest prep that I will put to good use as I train for my Pro Shows in 2009.

I will take a couple more weeks off with no diet and light workouts before I get down to the business of adding some much needed lean mass. I will bring a bigger and better physique to the stage next year. That's my goal and that's my focus.

Monday, July 21, Panama City Beach, Florida

My wife and I, our daughter, Chrissy, son-in-law, Ryan and granddaughter, Gianna arrived at the beach on Saturday afternoon to begin a week-long vacation. We are staying in a two bedroom beach-front condo with a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico. I am here "off season" from bodybuilding and am enjoying the sun, local cuisine and occasional brew. Nice. I will go to the World's Gym in Panama City Beach for a light workout each day to burn off the extra food I am having a blast eating. I am working on my non-Dream Tan tan with real sunshine and will return to my job at the Birmingham YMCA next week looking fit and dark. I'm in heaven.

Monday, August 4, 2008 - It's time to get back to work!

Weight: 152.0 (Contest weight - 140.0)

I have enjoyed a great month off from dieting and heavy training for competitions. My "vacation" included free-from-worry eating and a week at the beach. My weight training has been light but fun, nothing too heavy. Now I am starting a lean mass gain training regimen that will take me to June of 2009, when I will once again done my posing suit and step up for a Pro Competition, probably the 2009 FAME Canadian Nationals in Toronto. My goal is to be as cut and conditioned as I was this year but 5-8 pounds heavier. I will up my calories, while controlling my fat. I want to stay in shape, not turn into a soft donut. I'll start a daily training journal when it's the right time to do one.
