Due to lack of funds I am unable to properly prepare for NPC Nationals/Team U this year …I have recently regained employment so I’m looking for another show to do sometime in October.  Right now its looking like it will either be Southeastern USA’s in Orlando on Oct 17 or the Ft Lauderdale cup Oct 10.  Which one should I do?  I don’t want to be the only fitness competitor there.  Anyone know anything about these shows?

…in the brief interim where I didn’t think I was doing another NPC show this year I went ahead and set a date for my first powerlifting meet.  Oct 3 I will be competing in my first RAW powerlifting meet here in Tampa in hopes of qualifying for the Raw unity meet in january.  I should be able to do that in this meet but I am going to take this as a learning experience (being that I have never actually SEEN a meet lol).  Wish me luck

So I had about a week since I started my contest prep where I didn’t think I was competing.  As such, my diet went to crap (relatively speaking of course.  it was still better than most of america lol).  As of today I’m going back into contest prep as if I’m competing.  At the moment, I’m not sure that I will be financially able to do so but if something opens up in the next few weeks at least I will be ready

Today I did versa climber (60seconds) and jump rope (30seconds) intervals for 10 rounds.  Then lat pulldowns, 1 leg squats, and bench press with 3 sets of abs mixed in for 2 rounds (my endurance needs work).  I finished with a mile run, something I am going to try to end all of my workouts with.  Feeling pretty good.  My abs are visible, my legs are still defined, just need to tighten up and slim down.

Now about that routine….
