I'll be switching over to powerlifting after my competition Saturday. I'm going to try my best to kick some serious ass this show, hopefully qualify for Nationals, but I think thats about as far as I'd like to go w/ the sport. It's been a tough realization lately, but this sport is becoming too taxing on me to keep persuing. It's more money for food, less time for my family, leaves me miserable and often exhausted at work, and leaves me broke, all the time. Drastic changes call for drastic measures, if I wanna keep getting better that means more juice, more supplements, more food, less time. I'm quite honestly burnt out w/ it. Powerlifting is becoming very appealing to me lately, it's a way to limit my training to 2-3 times/wk and still be big and strong, it'll leave me w/ more cash flow, and more time at home. Plus, w/ a couple sessions/wk w/ 20-30 min cardio and training heavier I'll be burning extra calories so maybe I could get more lenient on the diet. So my goal for 2007 is to compete in powerlifting events, keep under 220 lbs while staying leaner than what I get in the off season for bodybuilding. I'll continue to try to eat healthy for the most part and cardio is something that will always be present, because as a firefighter cardiovascular conditioning is extremely important. Bodybuilding is going to be a sad thing to walk away from, but maybe someday I will compete again. At least I'll have the size and density to where all I'll have to do is diet for 10-12 wks and hit another one. But like I said, much further down the road. In any event, I'm still out to kick ass this weekend.
