done for the day. went in super early so the mrs could train and we went to the sweat box with no ac. the machines in this facility are crazy sticky and feel super heavy. well it's either the machine the heat or i am just weak as hell right now. then again i am being easy and trying to stay away from failure. only real note is low back is sore from the pulls elbows are beat up and cardio was cut short 20 because of mrs time line. still an excellent day of recovery.

yeah buddy, you see the cereal and granola. i was like wtf? still pretty low on cals about 3400 right now but i am digging it after being deprived for such a long time. no more 7 month long preps for sure, i am implementing much better planning in the future haha. we are q up for next year now so may hit the same one again next year and another big one two weeks later. so fire up the process again late feb early april and maybe climb the placement ladder a tad bit more closer to top 5

It’s tough to think that 3400 is a high number. But 3400 clean cals, is soooo much more than 3400 dirty cals.
I’m sure you can get top 5, I saw the pics from your show and you could have easily been placed higher. Its just the that subjective opinion of the judges that matters. (Which you obviously understand)
But from what I saw a couple of the spots could have been switched around.[emoji6]

my injury really screws me going in and we are well aware of that. that's why i have to be 100% to even be close to competitive at all. i know even before seeing what anyone else looks like i am automatically down about 4-5 points before my first pose. it's all good i love the process and the game, so i go in as hard as i can and see what happens. hopefully add a few pounds this year and even tighter condition next time.

done for the day. went into the sweat shop today. ran into a few people i hadnt seen in quite a while so the session took way longer than it should have. so other than those delays a pretty good session without pushing to awful hard. joints are starting to feel a lot better and even though i am slowly gaining weight back my cardio is also coming back as well. probably since i got a 100 percent solid week of training in last week. all in all a great session though.

15 min incline treadmill

done for the day. logging is a tad bit sporadic right now because i am reverse dieting and healing up. so my training is only 4 days a week and cardio is 5 days a week. so i am very sporadic atm. took tuesday off and thursday and only did cardio. we are going to switch the start of our training weeks back to sat this weekend so the mrs can get more time in with me.
so as for this session, it was in the sweat box again so the mrs could go haha. we tried to get in super early to cut down on the heat a little bit but it didnt do dick. i was hydrated as hell but by the middle of leg presses i was about to puke and dizzy as all hell. sad thing is i wasnt winded and it wasnt to awful heavy. it is pure heat sucking the life out of me. i guess it would be a lot easier if i was still on active duty and in the heat all the time but since i am not and sit on my ass in the ac, it kills me. the one good thing is i am damn sure not going to cool down and get injured at all training in there. it sucks because it is an awesome facility. i am doing the majority of my cardio in there since it is so close to my house. may make a guest appearance at my normal gym for arms tomorrow since the mrs cant train. all in all a good session

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Good stuff guns. Some times training on my back porch (hot af) can really wear me down. But usually I enjoy the sweat and heat, When it’s bearable.

well it recovered from that one which wasnt bad but i made the huge and terrible mistake of cooking all my turkey yesterday in chipotle w/adobo sauce. i had had it before and it wasnt that hot but i guess i grab the sweet baby jesus hot one. i had 3 meals with it in them because i didnt want to waste all that protein. my stomach and ass was on fire the whole day and then some. wont be doing that one again either
