Good luck Rock![]()
You can do it !
Hey, guess what? New journal Some things in my life have really changed lately and it's made me look at other areas of my life as well.
As of now I no longer plan to compete (except for Camaro's IM comp for fun). I no longer will follow w/o programs or diets. I plan to train instinctually and eat like a normal person. I have a few goals I'll work towards which I'll share in a bit, but besides that I'm doing what I'm doing because I enjoy it, not to look awesome or be able to bench 300lbs.
My goals are to increase shoulder size (especial rear delts), work on forearms, and thicken my back ( I think it's wide enough right now). I'll lift weighs 4 x a week and do cardio for an hour 3 x a week. Again, not because I'm training, but because it's what I want to do. I'm no longer worrying about my waist, my progress, my elbow, etc...
Supplements I'm taking will be limited to Protein, Fish Oil, and Joint products. I'll be eating more regular food and see how my body reacts.
I feel good about this and I'm excited to get started
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...

Gary- Thanks buddy, I'm looking forward to this. Though I'm already thinking how can I do it better, LOL. The point is to STOP thinking and worrying so much.
YM- Thanks man, I'll be picking some exercises outta your journal to try I haven't done I'm sure
Velvet- Thanks Jeni, glad you feel the same way. I'm not crazy or unmotivated thenStill having trouble with the food thing, I'm so fataphobic, but I'll get there.
Iain- Hey Buddy. Yeah I was thinking about what we talked about that night and started to analyze why do I really do what I do and why did I back outta the comp last year. Just alot of revelations lately![]()

I'll make sure to stop by from time to time, to help you focus on staying unfocused.![]()
The lions sing and the hills take flight.
The moon by day, and the sun by night.
Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.
Let the Lord of Chaos rule.

Sounds like FUN rock!G'luck w/ the bench goal.

whoooooooaaaaaaaaa horsies...I"m not sayine we shouldn't have goals..i"m with Iain on that..I do have goals, but I'm not going to pigeon hole myself to a specific diet (altho my cal intake and macros will be fixed) or specific training program....I want to have flexibility and do things MY way...ha ha...but goals are very important..if you don't have them, then how will you get anywhere if you don't know where you wanna be? I'm sure you'll agree Rocky baby

HIHT: High Intensity Hybrid Training
I like it Rock! It's all about having fun. Sometimes I think all of us put too much pressure on ourselves to meet and exceed goals. Goals are important, but not to the point where it isn't fun anymore.

Was this in reference to something I said? Because I did state my goals in the first post. I do have goals but I'm not letting my life revolve around them any longer.Originally Posted by Velvet

Exactly buddy. And I'm the kind to worry and plan about every little aspect of my life. The whole w/o and diet and doing everything perfect was driving me crazy and ultimately detrimental to my body I think.Originally Posted by JerseyDevil
