Chest night and what a great workout.  Even after Tuesday night’s workout which I thought was pretty bad I was still sore the next day so I guess there is no such thing as a bad workout.  I guess I just have higher standards for myself.  Anyway so tonight I did 5 sets of dumbbells incline, 5 sets of flat bench dumbbells, 4 sets on the peck deck, 4 sets wide grip machine press, and ended it with crossover cable supersets.

Well so last night I had one of those workouts that in my opinion just sucked, my energy level just was there no matter what I did.  So I will have to chalk that one up as a bad workout, but really is there such a thing as a bad workout?  This goes back to a saying do you look at the glass half full or half empty.  At least I was there it not like I didn’t go through my whole workout anyway.  So occasionally I guess you’ve just got to have an off night which doesn’t happen often at all(thank god).  Anyway today is a off day for me which may mean a little cardio or maybe not.  Then is back to it on Thursday. 

Bulikng is going well.  I am up to 178 now.  That is about 6 lbs. in 6 weeks.  I am happy with that.  My energy levels in the gym are through the roof right now with all the carbs that I am taking in.  Hopefully I can keep the clean bulking up until July when I will start dieting for my next show on 10/18.  Later!

Well I finally decided to start bulking again, been doing it for about two weeks and I am up 4 lbs. so hopefully I can keep it up and get up in the mid to upper 180s before July.  My plan is to compete in the fall again and do two competitions the same two I did two years ago.  Hopefully all goes well and that can happen.  My energy levels in the gym are great right now and my strength it almost completely back to where it was before I hurt my back. 

Well that see haven’t updated in a while so here goes.  I’ve been working out lessO(2 days on/ 1 day off).  I dropped about 7 pounds from right after Thanksgiving to now(just cut back on my calorie intake and uping my cardio.  Can’t seem to get my lower back where I want it to be, back its a work in progress.  If I wasn’t so stubborn in the beginning and would have went to the chiropractor earlier I probably would be better, but oh well I am just a stubborn person about certain things its in my blood.  Anyway other little nagging aches and pains are coming back in my wrists and elbows, but you know the saying no pain no gain so I am still resting more which helps and hopefully one day I can compete again and if not  you’ll still be able to find me in the gym training its my second home or my first it depends on who you ask about it.  Later!

I am still getting my back better to where I can lift heavy on a regular basis.  I actually dropped 7 pounds since the end of Nov.  Just decided to dropping my calories down and bumped up my cardio.  I still have the itch to do some more competitions, but not until I feel like my back is up to the challenge of a good 12 to 16 weeks contest prep. 

Till I start dieting for my next competition.  I up to almost 180 so if I can add two or three more pounds by new years I will be happy.  Training has been great here lately this is the healthiest I have been all year and I feel great.  So hopefully the rest the year I can keep pushing hard and add on some more size because come Jan 1 its diet time.

Well,  the surgery on my leg was a success and my two weeks of r and r came to an end on Tuesday.  It feels good to get back enough the time off was good for me.  Hopefully now I can stay healthy and add some mass and hopefully compete again next year sometime.
