BuckSpin - A Year Of Change

Its been an interesting, very introspective 24 hours. A public "Thanks" to those I spoke with in private.

In case anyone is wondering, I made public on the O35 Forum the worst kept secret on BB:

I WILL begin training to compete. Its just a matter of when I compete.

My gut (and brain) tell me to heed the example of one of the bodybuilding idols of my youth - "The Shadow" (if you don’t know who that is that is your Google for today)…so I’m gonna go disappear into what excuse of a "Dungeon" I can find in the Midcoast and just "Eat, Lift, Sleep & Repeat". I’ll find a Training Partner (gender not important) who understands the effort & intensity it takes to make oneself physically nauseous from a properly executed set of curls to total concentric & eccentric failure, that knows that tears DO taste a lot different than sweat when forced together.

I WILL be that one Novice who gets the Open guys attention when I do come out into the sun to "play"… …in 2011.

Goals For 2009:

• I WILL earn my NCSA CPT certificate
• I WILL be able to provide for my family & my passion with the above
• I WILL positively impact at least one life as a CPT like mine was
• I WILL weigh 200lbs after my annual cut…and look it

A good BB Friend of mine continuely reminds me to “enjoy the journey”. I am in no hurry to get to that stage. I am looking forward to earning my right to even consider that honor and everything along the way it entails. Its not the destination, but the journey. That journey will begin in 2009 and, if I work hard & focus harder with my eyes on the prize, end sometime late in 2011.
1000 days out…..

“game on”
