Building a Better Jay

well, I wrote some stuff yesterday and it appears to have been posted to the great abyss.  I guess it just wasn’t worthy of staying???

Anyway, the gist is that I am now on a mass building program.  For now, we’ll be trying to build some lean mass with minimal carbs.  I say AWESOME!  I prefer nice lean mass to a real "bulk" any day, so I’m willing to give it a try.  I’m still working with Team Scivation.  This will probably be a full 18 months of lean mass build because, well, I can’t find any reason to lean out over there.  …not to mention I’m not sure about the supplement distribution in Germany.  I know bb.com ships over there, but the international prices can get really high, really quick.  Shipping 10lbs of weigh is something like $45 for shipping alone!!  That will mean a lot more eggs & meat!

The Germany stuff is really starting to hit us now.  We’ve seen pics of a few places around Stuttgart and one was within walking distance of a Powerhouse gym!  How awesome would that be?  My wife keeps reminding me that we can’t choose a place to live based on gym proximity, though. LOL!  I know she’s right, but it would be nice to walk to/from the gym for a warm-up / cool-down!! 

Anyway, everyone have a GREAT Thanksgiving!  Remember, turkey is protein!!  Yum!!

Things I learned from last weekend:

• Do not rinse your final coat of protan or if you do use something else over it. 
• Pumping up lasts only so long.
• Lights feel pretty gosh darn hot.
• Posing suits are really tiny.  Leave your modesty at the door. 
• Winning isn’t everything, but it beats losing.
• I really do like lifting and getting bigger and showing myself off to people I don’t know.  At the same time, even though I’m an extrovert, I’m not sure I want everyone in my personal life to know I am a bodybuilder - at least I don’t want the people at work to be staring at me in a posing suit.
