Update - 1 month in
Haven’t posted a lot yet about the contest… i’ve been going at it HARDCORE! It seems pretty extreme a lot of the time, but I know in my head that its the only way to get it done. Since the semester started, in mid January, I have been at school for about a month now, and I have yet to drink… alcohol. Its crazy I know, I went from being ALL about getting hammered every weekend, and then "bustin’ my ass" in the gym the following week to make up for it. It seems so lame when you see it happen first hand every weekend. Yet, it sucks that I can’t take part in it at the same time! I cant tell you how badly I want to go out, buy a case and pound it to my face in a night or 2. Case of the "Y" can solve soo many problems haha! But as I walk around parties with my little water bottle filled with, yup WATER!! I feel better about myself. I know I can pull it together. Now its not like I haven’t had a beer here or there, but done at the right times, like at lunch or right after a workout it can actually be good for you. There are some benefits to alcohol, IN SMALL QUANTITIES!
Yet the hardest part about it all is the peer pressure. You see someone at a bar or party w/o a drink your VERY FIRST reaction is wtf is the douche bag doing w/o a drink?! I used to be that guy, until I started this contest, now i’m the "douche bag" w/o a drink people TRY to make fun of, until i **** their drunk-ass day up lol! But it seriously is the most annoying thing to get harped on by some drunk **** about not drinking. While this guy is spraying me down with his salavary secretions as he’s yelling in my ear bc he thinks we’re in the front row of a Lynard Skynard concert about how much of a pussy I am for not drinking… all I am thinking about is not delivering a haymaker directly to his right temperal lobe.
PUSSY?! You are calling me a pussy?! Listen bub, you wanna know how much dedication it takes to NOT pound that beer down in 3.2 seconds (theres a video of me somewhere) and calling you out to match me? I don’t care who you are, I see you in the gym "gettin ur swole on" acting like a tough guy, and here you are drunk as **** trying to rip on me for not getting ****ed outta my mind ever weekend wasting me efforts in the gym. Any muscle head straight out of a high school football team locker room can work out in the gym… what nobody understands is that….. THATS THE EASY PART! working out is nothing, you feel the sting of some lactic acid build-up and you strain for a few sets to get one or 2 more reps and then guess what, ur done. Cardo, forget about it! Most don’t even step foot on a tredmill. Most guys at the gym don’t even wear the proper foot attire to be able to do cardio. I’ve seen more Timbs on the floor than Nike’s this winter. Nobody wants to work hard. The hard part is what you do outta the gym. Diet, diet, diet… did i mention diet. I hate that people have come to think of the term "diet" as an association with eating right. Your diet, is the food you consume. It isn’t a special "plan" or set of foods your "supposed" to eat. A diet, is the food consumed by a being. A shark’s diet consists of fish and sometimes human parts. A dog’s diet is what you buy him, canned food, dry kibble… or even your left over scraps. It is YOUR CHOICE what you wish to make YOUR DIET. If you are on a diet, it means your making an effor to clean up what WAS your diet. Which is actually a good thing.
I’m done with that. Legs tomorrow. Supps are still giving me gains! MT rocks, I believe by the end of this up comming week, I will look better than I did when I stopped after this past summer! I can’t wait for my next cycle to begin!
