Back on course again. Training is going well. The new gym thing kinda sucks because I really don’t know who to trust with spotting me. I am fine training alone, but there are always times when a good spot makes the world of a difference. The matter of letting go. The ability to not worry, is this amount too much for that extra rep etc. makes such a difference. I have found that those reps just beyond what you can handle are the ones where you grow. Just like Trevor Smiths beyond failure training. RIP. The goal at this point is to lose 25-30 pounds between now and Summer! This seams very do able! I also started taking lipo 6 black. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nutrex/lipo6black.html#
The little boost should help… Maybe I can get my friend gary or bill to train with me. They are small but the spots would be invaluable!

Okay, time to assess the past summer. I drank, I ate too well and I slipped on my goals, my training and my running. Sound familiar? Oh well. No sense in looking unless to extract some motivation or technique to fix my go forward goals… What are my goals? Well, basically the same as always. body composition. I was down to 215 at my lowest in the year and now i am back up to 230. So, my diet is back on. My running is back on. And I need to make sure my 4 nights per week in the gym take place. I cant wait for ABS, Chest and Bi’s tonight!

I have to start posting some progress pics. I haven’t in a long while. Probably because i am unhappy with my progress. But will I ever be truly satisfied? I am roughly 217-219 and would like to be 198-205… Things are progressing, just slowly. You know I hate to sound like a broken record. But the gym really is my church. When this really suck and can be completely depressing or overwhelmingly aggrevating, the gym is my constant. It is and always has been the one place where for at least the shortest of moments I can let go. I can focus on the weight and completely forget everything else. That can be a sort of sanctuary. Unfortunately we all know forgetting does not resolve anything. But never the less, sometimes you need to stand back from your problems in order to fix them. My current dilema, I fear, has no good answer. The issue I will keep to myself but the outcome I may end up posting some day. Either way, regardless of what happens, I feel this one is going to have a very bad outcome. Hopefully, I am wrong. Maybe I need to step back from it some more… Couldn’t hurt as I need to lose another 12-21 pounds…lol

Not much to report. I am training at a new gym for a while… I have a free 3 month membership to a lifetime fitness… Too fancy for me… I will end up back at golds… And save $50 a month at that. lol.
I was 214.5 the other day. things are going well… 20 more pounds and I will be VERY Happy! No rush, no hurry. I think this is now just simply my life. no diet, no restrictions. I am happy eating this way, and once I am down to a leaner weight I will allow for some weekend cheating. Ultimately floating from say 195 to 215… The goal afterall is to get as big AND lean as possible…

Not much to report. I keep telling myself; nothing worth having comes easy. I seam to be working hard, running daily, and dieting only to lose roughly 2 ounces per week. Time to shake things up I guess. Not exactly how. My one thought is to completely remove my ego and begin lifting extreme light weight for reps. I have begun this already but my mind gets messed up a bit. I do not like to feal "weak" and I know this is not actual weakness but merely hitting the muscles in another way. I just don’t like looking at empty bars. lol. And I know the whole spiel about how much high reps hurt and it takes a real man yadda yadda yadda. I know. I just have to do it. SO, tonight, abs,chest,bis…
bench I will go no heavier than 205
incline as well…
as for bi’s… they only seam to grow when I hit them hard with lighter weights anyway…

I am continuing to train for this show… I just don’t know if I can afford to enter one this year. Finances are very tight and I may need to do some weekend work on top of my regular. Like I said I am going to continue to train for it tho and hope something changes.
