Born of Divine Blood

So thankfully i think i’m coming out of my little post pre-contest failure stupor. I’m water logged as **** and unfortunately don’t have a diuretic, but since i lived last year I assume I can handle this. The edema isn’t nearly as bad as it was last year either. It was pitting like crazy for weeks last year and like my shoes wouldn’t fit and stuff. I think it’s much better now. Still have ballooned up to 225 though, goddamn my body likes to take it’s revenge after dieting. The really ****ed up thing, if last year was any indication, one of those bioelectric fat measuring deals would still claim i’m like 8% at the moment….WEIRD.

So yea, I’m starting to look forward to bulking and get excited about competing and actually doing it. The 3rd time is a charm, i will step on stage in April 2010. I’ve had the chance to iron everything except the final week twice now so I think i know wtf i’m doing. This time i’m going to do things like pictures and my posing practice correctly too. It is kind of depressing to me that i have no pics of me when i was shredded these last weeks, but I didn’t see a way to really change that with the goddamn body hair and lack of anyone to take them. I’ll be much more adamant about it this next time though, force the damn parents to help. And even if they’re not cooperative….hell a hairy chubby pic should help me get a supplement sponsorship when compared to the stepping on stage pic.

As for training….ARMageddon today….going all out as always, hopefully the retarded amount of water i’m dragging around wont effect arm training too much, i don’t think it should, seems to mostly be an issue with squats and deadlifts and low back pumps….i guess retarded amounts of salt make your kidneys hurt? i dunno…

knee feels better today….i may actually give it sunday off legs and skip them, we’ll have to see. I don’t want to, and i don’t think it’ll be that helpful. But it can’t hurt too much. Maybe this time will be different, as i did try that more than once in january and february. I think the main thing is i just have to concentrate on stretching the holy **** out of my hamstrings when i stretch….because anything short of that isn’t going to make them more pliable I don’t think.
