Hey all!  I know it's been a long while--man life gets busy with work, school, and a show in 13 weeks!  Lifts have been going well.  I have a LOT of work to do yet, but I have time and LOTS of local support and an entirely different mindset than last year so I know I will come in with better conditioning--can't wait!  Who knows about placing...Yes, I'd love to get top 5, but who knows.  That can't be controlled.  The only thing I have control of is how I lift, making my cardio, and what I put in my mouth.  Doing everything my trainer says will get me in the best condition I've ever been in, and  THAT is what I'm looking forward to the most   Then I have my work cut out for me this "off season" (bulking season?  I'm not sure what to call it, since "off season" makes me think of doing nothing, and that's NOT what I want to do) because I wasn't going to compete next year and just focus on putting on size, but there are rumors of a pro/am in Denver next year...I'd like to compete in a bigger show on my home turf, but I also want to be competitive, so who knows.  Right now I have July to worry about, then bust my butt after that, and see what happens, I guess.

Happy Easter to you all!  I hope you all have a great one!
