Hit another wall.  Stayed at 193.  Still think I’m looking better though.  I’ll keep my diet the same for one more week and then I’m gonna start cutting some carbs and increasing my cardio.  I’m definitely getting better with posing and figuring out what looks better, and I’m staying diciplined.  That’s pretty much all I got. 

It feels like it’s been a month since my last post.  Lbs. are dropping like weights….?  Down to 193(192.8).  Definitely seeing results.  Slowly but surely my lower abdominal muscles are pushing through.  I have actually moved back into the corporate office a little while until we sign our contract with the owner and our trailers get delivered to site, and I also have been real busy helping start up this new project.  I started getting headaches and felt weak(diet and workout has not changed).  I figured out I wasn’t drinking enough water, I was getting dehydrated.  I quickly remedied that situation.  I have also been keeping up on my posing, practicing probably every other night (depending on what time I get home).  I’m gtetting comfortable with the mandatories and experimenting with various poses I see either online or in magazines.  Great week.  Oh, and I’ll be posting new progress pics next week.

Not much has changed really.  The only thing is now I am up to 45 min. in the monring from 30 min. because I got moved to my corporate office which is closer to home.  And soon the project I am going to is going to be in DC which eventually will allow me more time for more cardio in the morning, when I need it.  I am still sticking to my diet, lost another pound, putting on more muscle, I guess everything is ok for now.  But of course things will progressively get harder and harder.  Can’t lose track of the inevitable. 

Stay disciplined, train harder, think positive.

Another good week and good 4th of July.  My lats, chest and legs are popping out more and more.

I was doing my chest workout on Saturday and I had my first aftershock adrenaline rush.  I was doing my frist set of flat bench barbell bench at 215 and it felt a little weird.  I thought "Don’t know if this weight increase was wise".  Got to my last set of 245 and pushed as hard as I could and got it up 6 times on my 4th set.  That’s when it hit.  When I was getting up I uncontrollably started flexing and grunting in a wild manner.  Probably a weird seen to outside veiwer but suprisingly it felt really good.  Slowly but surely I am getting to where I want to be.  I just keep reminding myself its going to take time; I have to be patient but persistant and determined.

I’ve also adjusted and refined my diet a little.  Here is a typical day:

Multi-vitamins, lipo 6 and joint healer

Cardio - 30 - 40 minutes, followed by 2 scoops of whey, 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and 5 grams of glutamine

22 oz. of chicken, 3/4 cups of brown rice, and 5 grams of glutamine(at one time) spread throughout 4 meals during the day

2 scoops of whey, 5 grams of glutamine, 7 grams of creatine, lipo 6 and joint healer pre-workout 

Weight lifting with 45 mintues of cardio followed by 2 scoops of whey, 5 grams of glutamine, and 7 grams of creatine

2 scoops of casein and 10 grams of carbs(vegies) before bed
