Ok, So screw the whole researching supplements deal. Most of you know what the hell you’re doing.

I started a new routine 5×5…and all i can say is..WOW…If you want strength I would deffinitly reccomend this. My lifts have gone up!…and i’m starting to fill in..in all those tough places i have problems with. It was a tough start do to a shoulder injury i had due to benching my max…and not having that good of a training partner with me…Sadly i paid for it. I’m slowly getting back to what i was at with all my current weights in my lifts….I’m nothing to impressive..but i like to think so.

A couple days ago I was faced with some terrible news from one of my training partners(now it’s just him). He found out that he had prostate cancer…in the T3 stage…Meaning it had spread to other organs in his body. I’d have to say…that it has hit me hard. The day i found out..man i just wanted to stop lifting…and just "live" for that moment…But, he told me that if i stopped…it was like all this hard work…all the dedication…the pain…EVERYTHING, would be a total waste. I guess that motivated me…because i squatted 305lbs easily that day. I can’t tell you guys how much this man has helped me in my training,life…..

Let me say this…Life is to precious to go on fighting, and hating someone…it’s just not worth it. All these people who wanna bitch, and complain about how hard their training is…Let me tell you that this man at 48yrs old and now on cancer treatment…IS STILL LIFTING JUST AS HARD!! If not harder…The doctor..gave him a timline in which he has to live if the treatment doesn’t show any affects…How would you feel if you were given a date in which you were possibly going to die??

More of this later…..

Yup, time for me to celebrate with a huge protein shake tonight you guys!…I have done it! I reached me goal of gaining 20lbs. I weighed in at 170lbs this morning and i jumped for joy!…When i started posting my stats i weighed a mere 150lbs that was back in Aug 8,06 and now today to weigh in at 170lbs!!! WOW…I know all my hard work and extreme dedication IS paying off!…I’m working my way up to 220lbs now and then i’m gunna cut down a bit, and compete. I can’t wait!..It’s so close i can taste it. I tell you what it’s a good feeling when you hit a milestone like that…makes me wanna push that much harder..lift that much heavier! The journey has been tough honestly…I have to eat constantly…and i eat 500 times more than most people..just to gain a small amount of weight…yes it does suck, but so far it’s been well worth it!…I’ve given up a ton of things..just so i could train for my dream to become the NEXT Champion of Bodybuilding…that’s a bit off..BUT I WILL DO IT!!!!

till next time you guys!….
