A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS…

The show didn’t quite go as well I thought it would…I couldn’t have done any better than I did. I did awesome…I was perfect…needless to say I guess the judges didn’t like me to well. I got fu**in ripped off…long story short. I was at least 4th best, but I watched and stood in disgust as my name didn’t get called for anything. What more could I expect…new kid on the block been training for 1 year…and I went all natural…oh well…I had fun…and I can’t wait to step on again. This time it will be a no contest…I’m serious business and I’m taking home whatever I compete in…I am going to take 2-3 years to develop and get ready for my next show…

I am now finishing up my 2nd week back into the weights and my strength and mass is coming back quickly as I am back over 200 lb and I am back to pushing some decent weight now…can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen this year…peace…

My Final Day of Bulking Has Past…Today is the Beginning of Greatness…

I have been back in the game for only 10 months now and have come back in great fashion…now it is time to get contest ready. I am now 12 weeks out from April 18th (The Mr. WV). It will be my 1st experience ever at a bodybuilding show and my 1st competing in one. My goal is just to place in the Top 5 overall and take it all next year. I am doing everything naturally possible to be my best in the non-tested event…I just wanna see how I stack up naturally and go from there. I am all about maxing out my genetic potential. We’ll see…I am gonna give them something to look at.

Dropped out of upcoming competition. Preparing for NABBA Eastern USA Champ

Body_Snatcher — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 21:05:51 +0000

I had to drop out of my upcoming powerlifting meet in November due to plateauing too early and nagging injuries. The whole mental thing has took it’s toll. Next time around I will know when exactly to start prepping for the meet. It was a 16 week program that proved to be too much for me. Everything started going downhill after week 11. Next time I will prepare to start 10-12 weeks out instead…taking week 11 off before the competition on week 12.

I am now getting ready to enter a contest on April 19, 2009. The NABBA Eastern USA Championships in Morgantown, WV. I will be entering the Juniors category. I have a lot of work to do, but it will definitely be an experience for my 1st time. I am going to be 100% all natural even though it is a non-tested contest. Time to make my MARK!

Still Goin…

Everything’s been goin good; all except for my failure to put on any weight. I’m getting ready to start my 10th of a 16 week Johnny Jackson strength and mass program. I have put 35 lb on my bench and 50 lb on my squat and deadlift. I am almost, but not quite as strong as I ever have been, but at the end of this program I will be the strongest I have ever been. I know this is the best I have ever looked though. Yesterday was my back day and my best deadlift day yet: I performed 10×135 10×225 8×315 5×405 4×475 1×500…I wasn’t supposed to do that extra set at the end, but I felt good that day and wanted to pull 500…so I did and probably could of doubled it…but didn’t want to risk any injury. I am competing in a powerlifting meet in November then after that I am just going to focus on size as long as I can before I cut back down for a show. I want to compete and step on stage next year for my 1st time. We’ll see what happens…

Finishing up my 19th Week…

Everything has been rolling. Not putting on much size like I have been wanting too, but my bodyfat has been lowering and I am still putting on size and getting stronger. Everything has been filling out very well. I just started a 16 week Johnny Jackson Strength and Mass program to see if that will give me my size gains I have been looking for, because I am eating enough; if you look at my diet that is listed you will see. Just got to be patient. I still need to upload some up to date pics, but I need to borrow a camera.

Finished Up my 10th Week

Body_Snatcher — Sat, 17 May 2008 16:30:07 +0000

I have made a lot of great gains over the past 5 weeks and where they count. I put a 1/2 inch if not more on all my muscles and even lost a 1/4 inch off my abdominals. I was very stoked about that. The rest of my lifts are still skyrocketing each week. I’m going to start a new program next week along with a good supplement stack…I will be using Sci-Fit’s Kre-Akalyn, Nitrox, and Beta-Alanine for the remainder of a 10-12 week program. I am about 190 lb right now….I hope to be at 205 lb by the end of this next program with the same bodyfat.

Making Progress

Body_Snatcher — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:55:21 +0000

I’ve been back at it for a little over a month now and have made some great gains. I’ve put on over 11 lb and gained size in most areas. Strength gains were tremendous. I probably gained almost 30-50 lb on all my working sets. I didn’t take any supplements for the 1st month back, just focused strictly on diet and training. I am gonna start sampling the pre-workout supplements I got from the Arnold now. Then start a good supplement stack in a couple months. I still have a long road ahead of me, but I can’t wait to see the gains that I’m gonna make a few months down the road.

The Body Snatcher’s New Journey

Body_Snatcher — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 03:27:51 +0000

My whole life I have been involved in some type of sport from football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling in high school and even a little stint playing college football clear to boxing and I even was in the Marine corp. in between them times. Of course that didn’t work out for me either, but I have always included training with weights to help me achieve my goals at getting bigger and stronger. The more bigger and stronger I got, the more I loved lifting. It would get to the point where lifting weights was all I was worried about. That’s when I knew I caught the bug and it seems as if bodybuilding may be my thing, so I’m starting my new journey to achieve the biggest piece of sculpted work that I can achieve and maybe one day I will step on stage. Since I was about 17, I have always had good size (about 200-215 and 18.5 in arms and 26 in thighs). My personal best deadlift was 565 lb and that was a year ago, so it shouldn’t take me to long to get back to my good size and start working from their. I got into boxing and martial arts last summer and that took all the weight off of me and my pure weightroom strength with it, then I went to the Arnold Classic and it hit me in the face. The bug bit my ass and so I hit it back hard the following week and then set up this bodyspace page to progress all my work.

I think this is my calling and I hope it’s my last stop…….I have always been searching for that something…….wanting to be somebody……….not like everyone else…….I strive for something greater……..and with the knowledge, guidance, heart, and dedication I know I can achieve it. THIS MUST BE IT!
