M.I.A.
As you all have probably noticed…well at least I hope someone noticed otherwise that means no one really gives a shit….I have been absent from the site for a while. The thing is I had some personal issues I had to take care of and now I hopefully have those resolved and can get back to business here at the site. Even though I have been M.I.A. from BodySpace I haven’t slacked off on my diet or my workouts. Actually I’m proud to say I have stayed clean and my workouts have been consistent as well as intense. Having the support of a workout partner like Susan who pushes and inspires me to excel and the fact that my wife has finally come over to the dark side has kept me on the straight and narrow as far as my bodybuilding aspirations. The wife actually has a site here now so if your so inclined feel free to stop by and say hello. Her user name is dedegee. Also feel free to tell her how lucky she is to have such a fantastic person as myself and how great a guy I am and how I’m loved and admired by everyone who comes in contact with me and I’m the biggest baddest zombie slaying Hard Core Mutha on the freaking planet! Or just say hello. Either or.
Anyway, the workouts have been great, the diet has been pretty much dead on and I’m making great progress. I’m really starting to lean out and the layer of love on my core is starting to go bye bye. I will be posting pics in the next few days and I think you will be surprised to see the difference from my last progress pics as I’m down about 20 lbs from those. I’m starting to see some vascularity and my strength is increasing nicely. The plan is to lean out the rest of the summer and reduce my body fat as much as I can. Then this next winter I’ll bulk till about Feb. and then cut like a Mutha in time for the contest in April.
I also need some feedback from some of you Gaspari testers and users out there. I’ve been thinking about using SuperPump 250 and SizeOn and I was wondering if they are as good as I’ve been hearing. Do you really get the pump and intensity during your workouts that I’ve heard and is anyone getting noticeable lasting results with these products? Give me the straight poop please not the Gaspari sales pitch.
Anyway, I apologize for not being a supportive friend and member of the Circle in good standing as of late. I can’t promise that I’m going to go back and catch up on all of your past blogs since I’ve been M.I.A. but I will try to be more attentive to your current ones. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by wondering where I’ve been….you are truly good friends and I appreciate you very much…Pixi, Jul, Grace, Danica and The King, Kat, Steph, Janet! If I missed anyone I apologize.
Till next time….Lift Long and Prosper!

All that supplement craze is just that. Reminds me of oil companies and Pharmaceuticals. Ya know "the middle road" like Buddhism teaches? Well, that seems to work the best for me. Eat well, take your creatine ethyl ester, egg protein and the cheapest protein powder there is-Higher Power. It all seems to work well and nothing gives a better pump that just working it. I do the 5×5 but on the last set I drop about 20% and go to failure. It seems that has added the most pump over the non-workout days than anything. As far as Nano Vapor and stuff like that, a good cup of strong coffee or 2 work just dandy for me, despite what the pundits say about caffeine interference.

You know we are glad your back. Your just lucky we had sent out the search party. You know what happens when we all get together. LOL Yes, we met the princess. Glad she has crossed the abyss. We can always include more in the circle. Thats what makes it so great…it expands.

Greg I’ve always been like you brother I never really bought into the hype of all this NO shit and designer proteins cause I figured there was no substitute for hard work and I’m a poor man and can’t afford it anyway. I’ve heard some good stuff about these Gaspari products though and thought, "What the Hell?" I always finish my workouts with 21’s and they always give me a hellacious pump anyway.
Hey Steph thanks for the kind words and for welcoming the wife…the Circle is pretty cool isn’t it?

"You can’t handle the straight POOP!"……..As you know, I’m just a whey and calcium caseinate ingester. I guess I’ve just always wanted to know my fitness level was purely natural and therefore not supplemented in any way.

I was secretly hoping you would "forget" me so I’d have a legit reason to give you a verbal lashing, but whatever….I’ll do it anyways. I really did like the SP and SizeOn when I was taking it, although I’m sure there are other great products that I haven’t tried.

You forgot ME. I figured I wouldn’t bug you, but now I see my consideration was for nothing. But your blog explains everything… aha. LOL Glad your wife is going to work out!! TOO COOL!! I will go visit her site. Like the progress pix, too.
