When I signed up for the 2009 Transformation Contest, my goal was to gain 20lbs. If I stay on track like planned,  I will be up 22lbs the day I take my final pictures. I forgot I set that goal and really just set it way above what I thought I could do. I am almost there and never thought I would be so close to such an extreme goal. There have been a couple bumps along the way and they have slowed me down but now I am pumped to gain these last couple pounds and prove to myself and everyone around me that it can be done and my body isn’t ready to quit lifting hard yet!!!!

So its been roughly three weeks now that I have been back in the gym. I am finally feeling like I used to and its great. I get in there and start lifting and when I am finished I still feel pumped even though I killed myself. I have gained 2" in my chest, 1" in my shoulders, and 1/2" in my arms. I am at 175lbs right now so only 25 more pounds to go till I am happy. Summer is quickly approaching so its time to start really eating!! Like always, I haven’t noticed any physical changes but people around me are saying I’m already looking a little bigger so WOO HOO!! Tomorrow is a crazy leg day then my 11 hour shift at work, this should be interesting.

Well, its been a year off recovering from a couple herniated discs. I feel like the muscle-tech transformation contest is my time to get back in shape. My first workout was today and I swear it feels like injury is lurking in the shadows. I kept it light and everything went fairly well. The injury affected the right side of my upper body so the difference in power is amazing. I could prob jump right back into crazy weight with my left arm but the right is super weak. Oh well, I will be back in full soon enough!!
