Update: Hadn't seen rock in the gym for over a week. He has made amazing changes since then. Looking very, very noticeably leaner! I am very excited and proud of him b/c I was starting to worry around 6 weeks out but the last two weeks the hard work is really starting to show.
Keep up the good work man, it is DEFINITELY showing!

Yeah baby Rock it Rock!! 
Hey Iain. I'm doing- Hi, no, low, no, low, no, High...
Thanks buddy! So you were worried too 6 weeks out!
I've still got a long way to go though!
I don't know if I'll do pics for you guys again until contest time. I feel they don't really change much time to time. I'll just re-date the ones I already have up!
That's a good idea! I've thought about getting a new tattoo before my competition. Maybe see if they can etch in a 6-pack on my stomach!

Oh yes Rock, together with the ones you have... the more naked dancing ladies on your arms, the more the judges will love you. If that fails, you can at least join the Navy and pass as a respectable sailor

Alright, couple quick questions-
1. Why do I have so much trouble with Bench exercises when I rest 1 min and strive for 12 reps? The 1st set at 155 was very easy to get 12 reps, but I wait about 50sec, do it again and I only get HALF that and it was a struggle. Is that normal or do I have a mental block in my head? Same thing with tri's and calves. But Hacks was very challenging the first set to get 12, but I was still able to get 12 on subsequent sets.
2. I did 30 min Traditional cardio and I got a horrible pain in my side after about 6 min in. I was going much slower than I normally do also. For the first 15 min I had to keep slowing it to a fast walk because of the pain. What's that about?

You said I could eat all the fish I wanted
1. being unable to hit a cinstant rep range is difficult when you are going under 60sec rest and not doing a full recovery between sets. This is pretty typical. also, you are in an extreme caloric defecit right now so your energy and endurace are down. Look at my workouts! The same thing happens to me right now as my rest intervals are only 30-60sec. Some of it can be mental and maybe you are doubting yourself a little bit. You can also try a little rest pause if you want to get some extra reps.
2. Were you drinking enough water? It sounds like you cramped up. Was the cardio right after your workout? You were probably pretty depleted an dyour body was freaking out.
All things considered these are pretty common when people are in the state you are in and training aunder these conditions. Hang in there, almost over
Alright, that makes me feel better. Thanks P-funk. I coulda been dehydrated, just haven't had that happen to me before (not just a few minutes in) and yeah I do the cardio right after my w/o.
The thing with the weights is a major ego buster though! I don't like that

yeah, it sounds like you cramped up. Whenever I do cardio right after my workout I take a few minutes to drink water. Then I slowly warm up my legs for a couple of minutes (usually light pedaling on the bike) and then i go and drink a little more water andt he I rock and roll just to make sure I don't cramp up because I wont quite until cardio is done and the cramping is unpleasant.
I hear ya on the ego thing. I hate it too and I feel like a wimp but you gotta understand that you are not really resting, it is almost like you are performing cardio so strength isn't as much of a factor as muscle endurance is. Don't worry, it will come back after the comp.....how many weeks left now? this is the final push right?
Yeah, I have 3 weeks and 4 days left. Doesn't seem like nearly enough time! But I'll be soooo glad when it's over and I can go back to bulking. It'll be worth it though. I've learned alot about my body during this that will help for next year!
