Chapter 2
So looks like it’s time for a new journey. The first entry on my original journey was in regards to stepping foot on a bodybuilding stage for the first time. August 9th that was accomplished. Over that time I learned a great deal more about training, nutrition and MYSELF as a person. I was lucky to be able to surround myself with a wealth of knowledge and experience; training everyday with Big Al and being able to pick up some of his training and nutrition methods and getting to pick Big Ant’s brain from time to time when we got together to train…I was/am very lucky to have these two guys in my corner…a wealth of knowledge and experience as bodybuilders and as equally important, as men. Both are “good people” first and “badass athletes” second.
So begins Chapter 2 of my journey….
Tomorrow, I plan to stet foot back in the gym for the first time since the last week or so before my show. Many have already asked me what show will I do next, am I really giving up bodybuilding after one show and going straight into powerlifting as I mentioned many times over the past year….We’ll the bodybuilding bug bit me pretty hard during my prep. I for some sick reason enjoyed dieting, getting leaner and still moving (for me) heavy weight. I liked the challenge. So the plan is to compete again in LATE 2009. I want to give myself ample time to make improvements in my physique, pack on more size and bring a more complete package to the stage for my second appearance under the lights.
As for the powerlifting….don’t think for a second I’m passing on that. Once I get back in my groove and feel healthy and ready don’t be surprised if you see Old Dirty McFly on the platform. We don’t train light, we don’t really do much “volume training” Big Al started as a powerlifter and we stick with his roots. HEAVY ASS WEIGHT. I watched Dorian Yates blood and guts for the 1,000th time last night and that got the blood flowing, time for me to start doing WORK!
The next couple of weeks, will be just getting back in the groove, feeling things out, working on a new split and eating!! (which I haven’t stopped doing since the morning I woke up after the show!)
I’m being transferred into a new building at work with new people, mostly the “higher ups” which may suck so I have to feel out what I can eat in-between the “normal peoples” feeding times. I’m not too worried, I know I’ll be able to get meals in, just a matter of figuring out if it will be good hot food, cold food, or shakes. Regardless I will be getting my swole on!!
Diet:
Egg whites, oats, Big Al’s secret protein pancakes, tuna, chicken, beef, potatoes, rice, bread, pasta, (I haven’t had pasta consistently in a few years so should be interesting adding it to the mix) and whatever else I can slam down the hatch throughout the day.
I always have a supply of Ultra-iso whey and real gains on my shelf, counter and above the fridge LOL going to start up some Storm this week, as well as Nitro. Glutamine will be used a few times a day as I’ve done in the past somewhere around 30g a day. 10g of creatine will probably be thrown in the mix for good measure PWO. No doubt the Pak is always in the mix as well.
Starting off simple as possible….should be a fun ride!
