Nice workout today, due to being heavier! In a couple of weeks I plan on weighing myself every 2 weeks to keep things in check. If I do plan on a pro show next year, the first goal is not to get to heavy! The next goal is to bring up the chest more and legs.

Basic and to the point! This will be the approach over the next couple of months.

Well, I trained today. Felt good but it knocked me out. I will be doing a simple 4 day split and train 5 days per week for a couple of months. The goal is to gain some of the strength that had went down, and gain some more. It's all about the basics and during this time, keep the body weight no more than 15 pounds above contest weight.

The show is over! And I am proud to say that I won the Battle of the Swords and captured my pro card. The feeling was great and I am happy that my family and clients/friends Rob and Anthony were there to help and motivate me.

My plan is to compete in a Pro Show with in the next 2 years, but the focus over the next few months is to go basic and build muscle. I think my condition is up to par for the bigs, but I need a more size. I will continue to post workouts but not until Wednesday, as I will take off a few days.

Pretty good energy today from the carb up yesterday. Will be droping carbs with sodium each day until Thursday.

Leg Ext
Leg Curl

Feeling bloated and puffy, but as the week goes on, I will have slight drops of carbs and sodium and keep the water high. This should let things tighten up.

Light Cardio for 25-minutes, posing- 3 or 4 times at 5 minutes clips.

Feeling tired and watery from the sodium load. But should be refreshed as I bring in more carbs over the next two days.

Light Cardio, 25 minutes, and posing!
