Okay, I've put the disaster of my last show behind me... I'll chalk it up as a learning experience, and leave it at that... I made some good gains, and was my best ever the 2 days before the show... I've got my next show figured out, just waiting for them to put out the Exact date... But, it will be in October of 2011... The NPC Washington Iron Man... I'll be applying many things that I learned during my last journey... And, Rage will be guiding me through this, and in the fall I'll be training with Stan "Rhino" Efferding... BTW, the last time I checked, this show is a National Qualifier...
Starting Monday, this will be in full swing... I've taken the week off, to replenish my glycogen stores and let my nervous system recover... Time to do this, and do it big!!!

Great to have ya!!! Over the years, I've had to adapt my training... As I got older the metabolism changed, the body's hormonal levels have changed... Injuries and such have also played a part in the evolution and adaptaion of my training and diet, as well... And... My money's on Stan!!! *LOL*

ill be watching through the webcast live ..and laughing when he johnnie loses..i dont hate the guy but i think stan couldve beaten him last year..problem was that stan didnt compete in it

I'm not sure if Johnnie has actually committed to doing it, yet... But, Stan has called him out, several times... And, Stan is the only one with an actual ranking in the powerlifting world... And, as far as age, yeah, Stan is older... He's my age, to be exact...

"DIET
It is critical that you follow my diet and drink 1 gallon minimum of water every day. The more obstacles you have, the better your story and the less excuses others can make because you set the bar for them. Success in dieting is in preparation. Cook all your meals the night before or the day of. If that doesn't work, then cook 3 or 4 or even 7 days of food, freeze it and manage accordingly. Always have a portable cooler and always have ice packs on hand. Get used to eating food cold. Do what it takes to make it happen.

Meal #1
8 oz. Top Sirloin or 8 whole eggs and 1 cup of oatmeal
Meal #2
3 scoops Real Gains and 1 scoop Ultra Iso Whey
Meal #3
8 oz. chicken breast, 10 oz yam
Meal #4
3 scoops Real Gains and 1 scoop Ultra Iso Whey
Meal #5
8 oz. chicken breast, 10 oz yam
Meal #6
Dinner - flexible. Eat about 75 grams worth of protein and 75 grams of carbs. Keep the fat down and add a salad

All food measurements are uncooked

Thanks!!! Any changes will only be made with Rage's approval... But I'll definitely be takin' notes!!! And, I'm quite sure that Rage would approve of the changes, if any... But, that's a reflection on how much I trust Rage... The man has gotten me to my best ever, and we've only scratched the surface...

I'm not sure... I think around 180... I'll be stepping on the scale Monday, though, for a starting reference... The addition of sodium, carbs, and water haven't leveled off the weight... It's a rollercoaster, currently...

So, the arm session did not happen... Pants/shorts... These are very important bits of attire, when working out in a public setting... (Especially if they don't let ya workout in scrub bottoms... *LOL*) As I started changing clothes, I realized that I had forgotten either my sweat pants or a pair of shorts... And, with a 45 minute drive back home, I had to bail on the workout... However... I have them, today!!!

Saturday was 2 graduation functions... First was my wife's cousin's graduation/party... Ate some food, and bailed... The next one has me beaming with pride... Some of you know that I have guardianship over my goddaughter... And, I was full of pride watching her get her diploma, and even more proud that she is following in my footsteps to become a nurse...

All things were not nice and cheerful, though... While we were at my goddaughter's celebration, my wife got a call from her aunt... Her grandma was admitted to the hospital... She's had ongoing heart and lung problems, and is a chain smoker... Well, they found cancer in her lungs... She's going to be placed on hospice, and kept comfortable... A crappy end to a great day...

Thanks... Unfortunately, life is just one giant rollercoaster... To top things off, a friend of ours has been staying with us, until she can get back on her feet, may be looking for a new job, again, after 2 weeks there... It seems that they've fired everyone that was there, when she started, and are also witholding everyone's paychecks, including hers...

Thank you... The worst part, is that this will be a drawn out process... They're looking at 4-6 months... I'm thinking a bit sooner, due to her frail condition and desire to move on... Still, it's not pleeasant in any light... And, I have passed this on to Marianne...

Well, it was originally supposed to be arms, but turned into rest... Sunday night, I had only 2 hours of sleep, and I haven't been recovering very well from my arm sessions, to begin with... I'm going to change a few things up, this week, as my chest training has been suffering from my lack of recovery...

Actually, I was one of the poor people that made it to 6 foot, and due to jumping out of perfectly good airplanes with full gear, I made my way to the land of 5'11"... The heaviest I have been was 220, but that was a beer drinking 220...
