You are sick, twisted masochist. I think that's why I have mucho respect for you.

x 100 ONe of the best posts I've seen so far..most competitors have the same sort of personalities..very driven..extremists if you will (I admit that i am...all or nothing with me...I did a whole lot of the nothing part thru the holidays and i was very unhappy...back on track and feeling wonderful) and we all tend to be a tad anal..ok, a shit load of analness going on

Had to lower to 3 sets on those to exercises. Just to fried to complete 5 sets.
DB hammer curls

DB Bilateral tricep kick back (form strict as hell!!)
15/8x5
Okay, so I had to lower down to 3 sets on two of the exercises. I was just beat to shit. I can't tell if it was because I was exhausted today or because maybe I am overtraining a little with this many sets, even though I am not taking things to failure (i was still sore from monday). If I feel like i am overtraining I will lower the volume a bit on the auxiliary lifts. These workouts make me feel incedible though. My volume has been low for a while now (in order to facilitate greater intensity and frequency) that my body is really freaking out when I train like this. If anything I can stick through this workout for 4 weeks as some sort of "overreaching" period before I move to a similiar plan with less volume.

SLDL
RI= 60sec
tempo 1/3/x 3 counts in the whole
225/5x5
seated calf raise
RI= 45sec
135/5x5

Now for the hard stuff....
30sec rest from here on out....
deadlift
245/8,8,8,8,5
man that was tough. I am trying to suck wind for 30sec and some asshole wants to bother me.
......."I remeber over the summer when you were doing 3 or 4 plates for these reps. What happened? have you gotten weaker?"....."No you stupid asshole. can't you see I am resting 30sec between sets. Not pausing at the bottom of the reps and doing these in a fast manner with no rest pause??" UGH, what a moron. People at the gym bother me.
leg ext
185/8x5
easy
leg press calf raise (weight not counting sled)

body report:
Okay, lets see.....
1) tomorrow makes 16 weeks out from the atlantic states.
2) this week I dropped my cals a bit from 3800 to 3500, finally going hypocaloric. I already see a differnece. IN my head I feel little and I feel like I look smaller. Someone commented on how I look like I am getting skinny today. I hate that word skinny. It makes me feel like a runner. So, that commment along with the fact that I felt smaller was upsetting.
3) Took my measurments today. My arms are up a quarter of an inch flexed, to 17". My quads at their biggest part are still 26" and I dropped a quarter of an inch off my waist. BW is still in the same area. So that is nice.
4) getting some cool defenition in my quads and my face is starting to lean out, jaw line showing adn square off a bit. My calves are getting ripped. A client was walking behind me and she said "Oh my god Patrick. It looks like you ate to grapefruits for breakfast and they got stuck in your calves." LOL.
5) energy feels good. feel as strong as always.
6) since i will have time to kill while ivonne works I will do some carido tomorrow. I don't think i will keep regular cardio in the program just yet though.
7) my upper body is still sore
8) i hate dieting
9) got a craving today for cookies. first in a while.

Wow, nice w/o and info. Does tomorrow mark 16 weeks or 17? June 4 right?
how far down do u plan on dropping calories?
P-funk said:
Yep, I am really finding out that these short rest intervals make me not wanna play nicely at the gym anymore, two days in a row I feel like I've been a bit of a snappy bitch with people... oh well, I think the fact that I said "can't chat now", look at my watch a few times and have my headset on should clue them in anyway!
rock- yep, todat (sat.) is 16 weeks out. At about 10-12 weeks I want to be lean enough to do a mock contest week and try some different things with my carb and sodium loading.
brit- yeah, i don't think the rest intervals have anything to do with it. you are bitch in general.
oak- I am not sure how far down my weight will get. I am not concerned about it though. I go by my measurments and what I look like in the mirror. Usually I never even test my BF%, just taking measurments and watching/listening to my body has always worked in the past.
The whole contest thing is a bit depressing to me when I diet down. It is already starting to mess with my head and I am so far out still. I was looking at a Natural BB'ing magazine last night. Majority of the guys that are my height are like 140-160lbs. I always think they just look like skinny guys and you wouldn't even guess that they lifted weights if you saw them walking down the street. I always feel like that is what I look like when I am dieting. Just another skinny guy. It upsets me. Things I know:
- I know that compared to the average person I am pretty big
- I know that I can get bigger and don't believe that I hae really reached my genetic potential yet.
- I like being fuller and bigger but I also like being ripped and cut.
- When I am full and big I feel fat.
- When I am ripped and cut I feel skinny
- I can't win either way.
- I just want to find a happy medium between the two
- dieting is a very upseting thing to me
- i love strength
- i hate losing strength
- usually when I diet I loose some strength
- someday I will figure it all out

) the rest could have come from my mouth. Know EXACTLY how you feel. I think a lot of it is in your head, when ripped and cut you FEEL skinny but in all probability look bigger than before (without a shirt on that is) cause you'd be way more defined. I like feeling big, but who wants to be a big fat guy? I think the key is to learn to like both cycles, the process of getting big as well as changing to getting cut. Your goal (I imagine) is to be big BUT ALSO cut! That's the challenge, the calling if you will. It's what 99% of people never achieve. The happy medium you speak of is not a physical one, it's in your head, and sooner or later you'll find it. Bahhhh what do I know.......I'm only 160 lbs. sorry for the blab
I feel the same way Patrick. I think it was to do with your self-perception and level of self confidence. You ARE a big, strong guy Patrick. You looked AMAZING for your last competition- not even CLOSE to being skinny. I'm sure you've put more muscle on since the last competition also. And with you cutting this far out from the comp and I have a feeling your already at a decent BF Level, your not going to sacrifice very much muscle. Just hang in there buddy and learn to like yourself. Hell, the rest of us here love you so step up to the plate and do the same buddy!

Compared to the average person you are a fucking monster Patrick!
I still remember my very first thought of you in Vegas being OMG he's bloody huge!!!!!!!
I don't know anyone who has ever competed who doesn't go through your list or a very similiar one... heck I know the closer it gets to contest time the more screwed up my thoughts get, it's a wonder anyone ever makes it to stage! My thoughts can flip flop from great to terrible in a matter of hours! lol
I don't think my thought process will every change... I do however hope to learn to cope with it better in time!
