Building a Better Jay

I got in my cardio this morning, 30minutes of aerobic training.  Fun times….  I was watching an old DVD of the TDF (Tour de France) while riding my bike.  Although I do love to ride my bike, I know that I will never compete at that level.  Heck, I doubt I’ll ever do a race again as a real competitor.  I think triathletes / cyclists are one side of a coin.  They spend so much time being cardio-masters (What else do you call someone who does 20hours of cardio / week for fun?)  that they mostly forget about muscle development and real world strength.  I can’t see myself going back to being a 130lb guy.  My problem with this realization is that I love to compete.  It’s part of my hard-wiring.  I want to compete when I race.  I want to be competitive in anything I do.  So, what the hell am I doing?

Damn cardio always makes me think!

After a difficult weekend of being sick, getting better, doing some Christmas shopping, removing our Thanksgiving decorations from the house and redecorating for Christmas, I am glad to say I made it to Monday!  I got in a solid Chest / Shoulder workout and feel pretty good today.  (Hey, I can breathe!)  Details, as always, are in my journal in the forums: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=3383121&page=24

One note for the record, my current goal is to bulk until I reach 140lbs lean mass.  Well, if by some stroke of luck (err, dedication and hard work) I am able to reach that goal quickly, I will continue to bulk until the end of the year.  Then, I will make a decision on some goals for bf%….
