Back To the Stage

[J.Halladay]

Sitting at 3 days out from my first show in 2 years. Excited, nervous, anxious, hungry, TIRED...I will be doing Garden States on Saturday in an attempt to re-qualify for USAs this July. If i feel like i bring a package that will be a threat on the national stage, i will be going right back into prep mode on Sunday for another 5 weeks and will do USAs - if i am not happy with the package that i bring this weekend, i will be shutting it down for the year - BUT the plan is to kill it this weekend and carry some momentum over to USAs prep. I have had some very productive time off, really hammering my back and legs (teamed up with Meadows in the off season) two of my biggest weaknesses. I am excited to get on stage this weekend and see what the final results look like. I will be posting pics, workouts, and my diet here. Feel free to follow along, and ask away!

Ended up with the overall at Garden States this weekend - what a cool feeling! Ive won my class before, but never an overall - man is it motivating. I got back from Garden States around 2:30 sunday morning, slept in a little, then right back on the treadmil and got to work. Got 5 weeks to bring a better package than i did this weekend. Hope to come in a few lbs heavier, and just as tight, if not tighter. Ill be updating along the way! Thanks as always for all the support from the Universal squad.
