Ok, I am WAY behind here so let me try and catch up as best as I can! Last week I finished off with two of the best workouts for Back on Thursday and Arms on Friday that I have had in a while. The pumps I have been getting are out of this world and I must say that I attribute this to my...

Well I decided to take a week off after going 20+ straight weeks of training and 16 weeks of strict diet and cardio. I allowed myself a little leeway with my diet to get out all of the ???demons??? I had inside me food-wise. I have to say, I was really in desperate need of some serious...

I gotta tell ya...I have eaten some unappetizing shiz in my day for BBing, but I don't think I could ever choke that culinary masterpiece!

I'll put it this way...if you are "natural" (even if you aren't actually), there is no reason on god's green earth to train that long. Even if you wanted to, I don't think you could physically do that for too many weeks anyway. And, if you have any desire whatsoever to gain any muscle, your...

Thanks to everyone!!! It was a tough weekend in some ways, but really fun all-in-all. I am taking this week off and staying relatively near my diet, with a little treat here and there. Nothing too crazy...since Tuesday anyway. lol I am back at it concentrating seriously on certain...

Thanks, Gaz. I am proud, but not near satisfied. November is coming soon.

Why, thank you Built. That's really nice of you to say. I sincerely appreciate it. As for my food...I had a couple slices of pizza at the after-party, but when i got back to my room I tore into a tin of cookies and brownies that my best friend sent to me at my hotel. :D:D Then, when I got...

Sorry about not getting an update out until now. Things have been crazy since the show, including my baby girl's birthday on Sunday - the day I got back. Then Monday, work was a biz-nitch. Well, the show is over; the travel is done and everything is finally in the books! Here's my quick...

Well, the changes keep on coming today! It is interesting what coach is doing to me and I am starting to get more and more excited. Look, I don't know how things will turn out, but I will be at my all-time best come this Saturday. Whether that translates into anything, we'll see. I am just happy...

Thanks, Balin. That's very nice of you. I will certianly do my best, but I will tell you that I am already at my all-time best, so everything else will jsut be gravy.

I am ready, my brother! It is TIME!

Ok, so obviously I have missed out on some updating these last few days. What do you want from me... I am getting ready for a show?! lol Well, Thursday and Friday were as follows...cardio first thing in the morning and kick ass workout in the afternoon. Saturday was NUTS! I woke up at 5am...

HOOP! What's up brother?! Nice to see ya. I am feeling pretty good, to be honest with you. I am not sure how with all of the stress that I could be experiencing (not with prep, but with life). Actually, I am pretty impressed with myself. :D And, in previous preps I have felt sluggish and...

I must say that today???s workout kicked booty! My weights weren???t quite stellar, per se, but the intensity was up surprisingly. I ripped through each of these exercises and left everything ???on the field???. One more day after today and I???ll be officially a week out! I have mixed...

Thanks, Coach! You always know how to pick me up, even when I am not down. We've put in a ton of work and it is coming to fruition.
