I wouldn't be going if I didn't think I had a shot at 1st. But seriously happy to be where I'm at. It's really been a learning experience.

Headed for cardio and a new posting routine. I wish I had looked sooner but I saw some videos last night, I have not been practicing quarter turns. So gotta nail that down today and practice all week.

PM lifting time. Full body. Hooah!

Took the board shorts in for a 2.5" haircut. That will at least get them out of gangster status.

It feel awesome to have so much support here. Here are this morning's picks. Weighed in at 212 Feel like I'm really really flat. Grabbed this pair of board shorts yesterday as a back up, just in case the alteration on my other pair goes crazy. Tired of cropping photos, not really sure why I keep cutting my head off anyway. Here they are:

I hope we do a carb load to fill out. That's up in the air right now but I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen. I'm just too flat now.

I think I'm gonna stay with physique. I feel like I can help more people at this level. Someday in the near future they will get the legs into these competitions. Kinda like England's muscle model comps. Anyways, I think it's gonna be the best for me. I really don't wanna keep stealing time from my family, and I feel bb would be a major time investment. Just so many things to consider these days besides just my wants. Ive tried so hard to be wise about my time through training, but it's more than even that. All my thoughts and conversations drift to this show and I've started here lately to forget I've for more important responsibilities. Gotta achieve balance, and honestly I've got the best shot at that in physique. I'll still train like a beast though. Not going back to fat!!

That's the answer I was hoping to hear. Family is number one, this stuff is just our hobby no matter how much we love it. I'd rather lay on the floor with my baby girl climbing on me, pulling my nose and ears then lay on a bench press bench any day of the week!!

Yep. I admit, I've been totally focused on this show and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Even though I'm actually around my family more, my thoughts are a million miles away. I'm neglecting them and my faith by focusing on myself. That's what I've got to correct to be able to move on in this sport.

Well see what happens. One day at a time bro. All rides have bumps, just buckle up and hit em harder.

Re: 11 days to stage

lookin great bro.... cant wait to see how you do!!

[RockShawn]

Thanks so much everyone. Tho has been one cool ride. Tough, but cool. My wife actually just called to check on me and she told me how proud she was of me. I know it's been tough on her. But she said now that I've done it once, if I wanna compete again she would understand. I've just gotta stay lean so prep is 4-5 weeks not 22 LOL.

Re: 11 days to stage

Wow man! You will be just fine. This is very motivational as I am trying to do the same thing...minus the show. I was around 30-33%BF and I am working towards a goal of single digits. Seeing journals like this for sure helps my motivation. Keep it up man!
