So i decided to start an online training journal in order to share my journey with all those who may be interested. 

So lets get everyone up to speed….

At this point I am going on my 6th workout since taking 12 days off from the gym. I like to take a 7-10 day break from the gym every 3-4 months. This time around i took a few extra days only because I competed in a natural bodybuilding competition and i felt that I could use it. 

I am weighing about 215-218 pounds. This is a big difference from the 193 I was weighing on the competition diet. And for the record I now know that 193 was too low for me. Next time around its a fuller 196-199, you can count on it !!

So basically at this point, I am filling up real nice, and its all about getting back into the swing of things. I am pushing hard but not too hard as I want my body to become accustomed to the lifting. Going full force right out of the gates could invite injury, and with my long limbs I am prone to injuries.

This was my first all out Push workout so I can tell that I will be extremely sore tomorrow. I also am trying out a higher rep range every other week for my triceps, so they were burning up by the end of the session. 

For chest and shoulders we stuck to …

This was the year that I made my return to the bodybuilding stage. I wanted to compete at last years INBF Hercules, but an A/C joint injury got in the way. Going into this show prep I was actually very nervous. I hadn’t competed since 2007 and I knew there would be alot of ring rust. The diet and training parts were relatively easy for me considering I have dieted every year since 2004 (which has limited my growth potential) for either competition of for photos. The issues that really concerned me were a few poses that I felt uncomfortable with along with the exposure factor. What I mean by exposure factor is …
