Countdown to July competition

[charger69]

I would like to thank everyone. The mental aspects sometimes get to me. I try to be the model bodybuilder and I strive for perfection. The frustration sometimes gets the best of me.

This morning when I looked at myself, I saw someone 8 weeks out- I am 2 1/2 weeks out. I looked at myself tonight and I am not as bad as I saw this morning.

I can just picture GH with his little charger doll and putting a pin in his knee making it hurt, putting one in his head causing the head games. LOL

I essentially leave the house at 4:30 am and do not return until 8:30 pm. Thank God GH talked me into LISS.
I would not be able to do HIIt.

I worked out tonight however I cheated. Wifey saw me dragging my butt and made a comment . I pulled out my ephedrine and caffeine. I actually had a good cardio and workout.
I will have some pics later this week.

I need someone to explain my hemoglobin to me..
Previously, when high on tren, I would need to give blood (lack of breathe).
Th last 2 or 3 high tren cycles, my hemoglobin is on the low end.
Today I donated and the first reading was 12.4 and it was too low. They took my other finger on the other hand and it was 14.1.

Why isn’t it high?? Previously I would have to give every 30 days to just do cardio.

In the hot desert here in Mexicali, Mexico Actually it doesn’t look too bad. Only 105 today as a high.
Time to go for cardio and bicep and triceps workout. I know the gym won’t have the a/c on so I will have to be ready for a sweat bath. LOL. I’m used to it...: or I used to be.
16 days to go!!!!! I had radio frequency done today to tighten the loose skin.
Time to kick ass and take names. LOL

Good news!!! I am taking 1/2 a vacation day. I am only doing cardio and workout once today. I am feeling great again- must GH the witch Dr. poked the right side of my dolls head so I would feel good.
I went to the gym and a friend that I hadn’t seen for awhile started checking my skin to see how thin it was- my veins were popping from the heat outside.
I had a bunch of people comment how full I looked. GH has given me the knowledge that I didn’t have before, now it is up to me to apply it.
I did screw up though.... I gave blood. GH gave me the knowledge of why I shouldn’t do that before a show .
It’s amazing..: I have been competing for 6 years now and I still am learning. I learn game changing things each year. I will give a recap after the show of the major things I have learned.
More photos tomorrow with better lighting.

Take a picture and let’s see. It should look bigger with the quad and ham showing instead of just the ham.

I am a big fan of Jimi Hendrix. Here is an unorthodox version of the Star spangled Banner. Jimi doesn’t think it’s unorthodox, he thinks it’s beautiful ( see 4 minute mark)
BTW Hendrix served in the 101 airborne Screaming Eagles.

Did legs yesterday. I pushed too hard. My knee is killing me and I cannot walk straight. I was looking forward to cardio today. Not today!!!
I will work bicep/triceps/ and medial delts.
Stomach doesn’t feel to good . I think I doubled my already high dose of MT2.
I had a bunch of syringes prepared but I am sure that I mixed them up. I brought enough SR9009 for the 4 days in a syringe. But which one??
I need my leg to get better quickly. I cannot stop cardio. I need deeper abs.

That’s actually Brett Favre’s brother Eric Favre!

Looking awesome brother!
You are motivational to me big time.

You mentioned your leg/knee bothering you and needing to do cardio. Have you ever tried a krank cycle (it’s basically a spin bike setup for your arms/upper body)? If your gym has one I would definitely give it a spin. Just take the seat apparatus off and do it standing though if your gym has one. I used to do hit cardio on one and it is intense to say the least, also gives a ridiculous arm and shoulder pump!

I decided to change the theme a little bit. I am no superhero or special person . Anyone can do what I am doing if you put your mind to it, however I do want to talk about what it takes from my point of view. I either go all out or I don’t do it.... whatever it is. There is just an on and off button, there is no adjustment.
You need to become very selfish with your time. First come your priorities- cardio/ gym and then you can attend to others needs.
Once I put my earphones in, It’s my time. I’m nonsociable, but friendly. Don’t you dare make me wait so you can text. I will ask if I can work in with you while you rest- I really mean text- but I’m friendly. I just want my workout to flow. It has to flow. I need that mentality. Please, please, please, don’t fuck with my workout. You are on your own if you do: the friendly person turns unfriendly. I take it personally.
You need to expect the unexpected... you will suffer injuries or health issues and you need to be able to adjust on a dime. I hate this part. I like to have everything planned out well in advance, every single preparation I have had something make me deviate. I do adapt, but I hate it, it was not my plan.
I strive for excellence. I do not have the genetics, but I have the willpower to keep going. My best workouts are actually the days I do not want to go to the gym. I need to take advantage of every minute, every set, every rep.
I try to make up family time when I finish the gym/cardio. You can never make it all up though. I have been married for 27 years and my competing puts a strain on the relationship. She does not like me competing because she knows that the gym comes first.
I have it in my blood now. How much better can I become? Seeing how one can transform their body is simply amazing. The human body is so freaking complex, yet I can control it. I do not depend on anyone else- this is all me. With that being said, there have been many people helping me with my journey. I do not want to downplay any assistance that I have received because every little bit helps. GH has made me feel like a child in a candy store by opening my eyes away from the norm. Yes, I used to be on the bandwagon. Once I started following the teachings of GH, I started growing faster.

I need to become better each workout and each year. How much of a transformation can I do in a year?
The mental aspect...:: this is where I suck. In the gym with weights is a breeze, I am talking about moods. You work so hard and push yourself to the limits, if you don’t see the results that you want or something is stopping you from making. The progress that you want, then you get depressed. This depression is so painful. Even though it may not be true, you feel like a loser. You let yourself down and all of the people that root you on. Your mind also plays games on you. You look at yourself one minute and you look good, and the next, all you find are flaws and you look like crap. Sometimes it is so bad that you want to say,”fuck this, I’m no good at it”. That is where perseverance comes in and you say that you are going to fix this fucking mess no matter what. Supporters of what you do play a major role in the mental aspect. They make it easier to get back on the horse. Sometimes the supporters believe more in yourself than you do. You just need to feed off of them.

The above is what I am about and the sacrifices of this lifestyle. There is no way that I can give this up at this time. It is like heroin, you love the feeling of pushing your limits and seeing where they take you ( I have never experienced heroine, but from what I’ve been told). Anyone can do it however not everyone is willing to make the sacrifices necessary to do this or want to put forth the effort.

I did cardio today. My knee still hurts but it seems to be getting better. I had two choices:
1) let the knee rest more, but run the risk not burning enough fat
2) do cardio , but run the risk of further damage and longer period of time without cardio.

I obviously selected #2. I took the risk. Everything seems ok. I will know more later today and see if I should continue cardio tonight.

I de-yoked 42 eggs and cooked them over the weekend.... I forgot them in Mexico. Last night I made two breakfasts..... and I forgot to bring them to work. Oh well. I have cans of tuna for emergencies.

I saw myself in a silhouette and my back looks big. Still going for deep cut abs. Frag came in.

Is there a reason you dont just use purchased egg whites?

I am super psyched! My knee held up for my normal cardio session. It was shaky this morning but improved throughout the day.
Charger is going full bore again. Time to get deep cuts in the abs.

20 July- I’m on the mother fucking home stretch and feeling great. ... now. Over the weekend not so good thinking that I would not be able to do cardio. 207.5 this morning. I’m trying to come in at 204, but it is going to be tough. I have a lot of water yet.
GH is turning me into a pussy. RIR workout? I feel so good, I want to go to failure!!!
Yes, GH, I will be a good student and follow the pussy routine. LOL

10 days out. I am trying to lose fat and not lose weight. I no longer have anadrol to help me with that. This is really walking a fine line. My body naturally wants to lose weight right now. 6 weeks ago, just the opposite.

Looking good. I’m no expert by far but you asked for critique.

Double front bi I’d go higher with your elbows. See if you can engage lower lats more.
Rear bi elbows higher. Turn your right knee out more to show more quad ham tie in.

Quads weight on your heel not toes. Angle seems good.

Side tri I’d turn the left side in a hair so bi thickness shows running into chest giving a bigger appearance. Unless the turn takes away from your tri shot.

Your posing has come as far as your physique. Both are way better than they were. They both show you’re working hard.

BG and Kel would be great to ask.

I have to hit everything perfect because I am going up against some big boys in the heavyweight class.

I'll only critique one pose, your side chest. In the pose above it looks as if all the air is out of your lungs and your front shoulder is collapsed in. Pull your chest up, hold your shoulder back and expand, then twist into the shot. You have a great chest, show it.

Not sure how you always do your front bicep but here's a thought poorly paraphrased from Arnold. "Twist your hips slightly which will make your waist look smaller and thus, your chest larger."

It's all about mandatory poses anymore so practice, practice, practice!

Just some random thoughts.

The only way I will get better is to hear people critique me. I welcome it. I strive for excellence even though I am far from it.

You are right. When I emptied my abs, I was emptying my lungs also. I couldn’t figure it out until now. I appreciate your time!!

I was in a staff meeting yesterday and one of my peers blurted out.. Oh my God, your muscles have grown! I felt a little embarrassed, happy and worried. He said it again and I was afraid the “S” word was next.
After the meeting, I thanked him and explained about the glycogen loading.

It’s just tough for us “all natty” bodybuilders. LOL

I am down to the home stretch. I am losing weight left and right. Down to 204.8 but still full. I think GH is finding out how much of a worry wart I am. He tells me not to worry so I am just along for the ride. LOL

I still am curious how my abs will come out but we will see.
