Burner and Premier- I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH YOU WHORED MY JOURNAL!!!! I STARTED A PERFECTLY GOOD THREAD FOR THAT!! J/K

Rissole- Thanks man, but can you see why I dropped out of the comp. I really wasn't ready. Thanks for the compliment



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Still some good weights thrown around

I know what you mean. I havent done one split since starting. I have done alot of supersetting with no rest to get done in a faster time. This has been really tough. I can also feal it in my finger bones as well. I know that sounds stupid finger bones. Ha HA.

I'm not sure buddy. All I know is my weights are going up and I get really painful pumps. That last part I attribute to Swole and Nitrous. The strength increase could be from M1T and 4-derm. Go figure LOL

You dives would kill me Ris I don't know if I'll do the online comp anymore. I'm focusing on bulking for next years Comp already so I'm not really in competition shape right now. When I decided not to do the May 1 Comp (4weeks ago now) I weighed 190. Now I weigh just under 220. You probably don't want to see pics of that

Thanks man. It's in a different order because I superset alot of the sets, just didn't write it down like that.

Yep, I'm finished! And now I'm afraid of being able to lift anything for phase II. My joints and tendonitis are horrible right now.

Yeah, I'm going to start Carb cycling again and some cardio.

Thanks Bludevil! Hopefully that was the hardest phase I don't know if I could do that again. It's not just high volume, but you get sick of the exercises too you know.

Bench press looks awesome Rock. On your 30lb gain did that come from eating clean or just eating what you want when you want. Even if I tried to eat the most horrbile things everyday I still dont think I could gain that much weight. Shit It has taken me 1month to gain 5 pounds and I fell like a pig. You know when sit down you can feel that tummy fat. Hate that. Good work Rock.
