NO GAMES!
Overview
The 2008 season brought much success my way. Despite it being plagued by injuries I earned natural pro cards in three different natural federations. Then in August I found myself on a WNBF pro stage, something I would have not believed months earlier. So much was accomplished, but I still got so far to go.
Raiders Silver and Black Muscle Classic 05/03/08
NGA Mr Natural California 06/21/08
INBF Capital City Show 07/12/08
WNBF Mid America Pro Am 04/02/08
Although I finished last in my class, it was not a disappointing experience. It was a motivating experience, and there is not doubt in my mind that given enough time I can be more than just simply competitive at the pro level. In fact I am fairly confident I can be among the elite.
Goals
Get Healthy
-A good portion of this year will be dedicated to getting healthy again, prior to my major injury I have been slowed down by injuries the last year. Most of 2008 will be lighter hypertrophy specific training. I will slowly incorporate heavier loads into my training as my health improves.
Nutrition
-I have never followed a specific protocol during an off-season, and surely keeping track of my intake year round will bring new gains. After working with Layne I learned the benefits of keeping track of your macronutrients. I see it having the same impact on my off-season that it had on my pre-contest dieting. It will take me to the next level.
Training
-Use periodization, as this will keep me healthy and thus making gains throughout the whole year. I have the work ethic and the drive, and more often than not I know better, I just need to stick to my guns and train smart.
Misc
-Grow inside and outside the gym. Making strides in becoming a better human being. Making sure I am giving more than I am receiving, helping others is the true to key to happiness from what I have learned.
-Complete my Clinical Nutrition Degree, and become a Registered Nurse.
-Becoming a better son, brother, friend to all my loved ones. Without these people you have nothing.

My Weekend was GREAT!
It common tradition that I arrive at Eric's house at about 1:30 in the am it seems like. Of course I pick up a few things at the local Super Walmart beforeI head over there. This time it was pop-tarts, plantains, and some pop. When I did arrive it was off to get some HIGH in protein burritos.

The greatest unhappiness lies in trading what you want most for what you want at the moment.
