Promises to myself/ rant

Friday, June 27th, 2008

What makes me a bodybuilder?Diet - check!Training with good form and intensity - check!

Supplements - check!

Attitude - check!

…….well actually not quite

I gotta question my motives and perceptions. I need to give myself an overall check-up and pay attention to the detail

We all have an image of how we want to look when we’re starting out……. I always had an image in my mind - I wanted to have that manly, muscular and lean look.

I’ve made good gains in strength and size but I’ve been slack in the diet department. I’ve lacked discipline, ate crap too often and drank alcohol too often, Such errors have accumulated slowly over time so that my BF now covers all my hard earned gains. Definition is lost, veins are few. Overall I feel depressed to the point that I HAVE TO CHANGE. Not just improve - but TRANSFORM.

I’m tired of having a chubby face, no abs to see and poor vascularity. I’ll make no excuses about my motives - sure I wanna be healthy but more so I just wanna look good and be strong.

I see ripped people all over this site and I admire them. Sometimes I feel inadequate and somehow excluded from the BB game and for so long that I’ve almost grown to accept that’s who I am. BUT THIS IS BS!

I’ve never seen my gains for real, with low BF and skin tightly wrapped around the muscles. Truth is I’ve always been scared to loose too much muscle, never gone ahead with a true cut cycle

So WHAT NOW?

I’m not gonna just whine on - here are my goals I’ve some ideas about how I can improve

Breakfast - I’m gonna ALWAYS have breakfast with lots of protein - eggs most likely

More cardio - I’m gonna do 20 min after EVERY lifting session and 1-2 x 1 hr dedicated cardio sessions per weekBoxing - I’m gonna get back in the boxing gym 1 x per week

Continue lifting hard - This is where I have been doing really well. Always room for improvement I guess but I’m happy with muscle gains so far

Be Consistent - This is a key part. I need to do this ALWAYS and not relapse

If you’ve read this please, post up some comments on how you think I could do better. I resect this online community and will be gratefull of anything that could help

I’ve entered a new state of mind where I AM going to transform

Here’s Jiiiiiimmmmyyy!!

Yeah so I’ve been back from my hols over a week now and back in the swing of things

Managed 2 workouts while on holiday using a hilarious ‘all in one’ Turkish multi gym thing. Very squeaky rusty old piece of crap - just did 6 sets of everything then cooled off in the pool *drifts off into a daze*…..ah man I miss being on holiday…….

Really pleased that upon return I have lost zero strength, HA! How did this happen? It’s not like I was careful - I drank and ate what I wanted, this resulted in some bf% increase I know that much, but the good news is it was unlikely I would have been catabolic for much of the time I was there thanks to all the protein available at the hotel buffet. It’s been said before that a break does you good. Usually I shrink during that break but not this time, I guess I’m figuring out more and more as I go

Determined to build upon my gains, I’ve just started Gaspari Size-On and BSN Axis HT - 3 days in and I can feel the Size-On, just the one workout so far using this but man what a good workout.

Managed 75Kg for reps on the decline bench on Saturday, for me a personal best. The short term goal is to bench my own bodyweight for reps - (around 80Kg will do it), nearly there!!!! Long term goal I wanna make that bar bend baby!

Reason I’ve not been posting up much is that the music work is getting busier, making it difficult to fit in workouts plus a full time job - but don’t let that fool you…by hook or by crook I fit my workouts in, even at crazy times! That leaves little time to post

For my buddies though, it’s always good to hear from you so stick around. I’m gonna upload some ‘bulky’ pics this week so you can see the progress

Laters Alligators!

Jim
