Lighting is great but it is getting better still need to practice lots!!

Lets hope it works

[jpfaherty]

Craze is pretty sweet actually, I really liked it.

I also like Jack3d.

April what? Mines the 26th!

[curjo]

Looking good Dean! You're gonna come in nice and lean. You've done a great job sticking to everything, as good of a job as Stan has done laying everything out for you, it means nothing without all your dedication. Truly an inspiration seeing someone with college and friends and family obligations sticking with it so consistently. Awesome!

[red_cat]

Condition is coming right along, man! Just gotta work that presentation, but that's something that even experienced competitors continuously work on.

[The Solution]

Turn that back pec on the side relaxed and show it off.
Chest up on front relaxed
Side Chest, really flex that front foot to help sit on your hamstring and use your back leg to spike into your hamstring to get it to pop
Back double bicep, dont pinch your shoulder blades ROLL your lats out, tilt your wrists back to help op your shoulders and roll your elbows forward
Dont shrug your shoulders on your rear lat spread
Side tricep blow out on your serratus and bring your other leg in, dont seperate them, bring them together, and spike the front calf/heel and make sure the back leg spikes your hamstring to show the seperation

keep your chest up at all times, dont bend foward, you make yourself look smaller. Remember you want to look the biggeset possible on stage, collapsing yourself does not do that.

Slow squats are going up, there different but i find they help your form and help with getting depth as i pause for a few seconds then push up

Cardio was good to, enjoyed that

Started abs before i noticed the time

Weather is getting colder with a little snow (nothing like you all have had)

My granddad mentioned doing something a month after my birthday which was a event for the whole family to meet up

Nice idea, wrong date

Spoke to Stan to see if i could go, he said Dean you will just want to rest.......

So... before you know it


The email:


As part of Dean and Kelly’s 21st celebrations I have booked 12 tickets for Saturday Evening on the 4th May at the Golf club to be entertained by http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=ily5p-Kli5M (which won’t impress some but I will enjoy it) and a two course meal which I will also enjoy (if Dean is eating let me know and I will sort the nut thing out). There is eleven of us so an extra one for a Kelly friend.

Put it in your diary


- Night before my first show
- I wont be eating
- Wont even have a diet coke
- I will be tanning and resting and sleeping (just at this event, not at home lol)

Cardio was then completed just hit 4 miles in 30 minutes

Hope your all well!!!

Don't hesitate to take that extra day off (LIKE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO! ) - You will likely end up doing cardio everyday by the time we get to the end so take advantage now my friend

I just went down to 3 days a week training. It's tough to stay home, I agree.

Try using Wednesday or Thursday as an active recovery day. Do core and cardio and nothing else. Give your body a chance to rest. You don't even have to go to the gym. Ride your bike after hammering some core. Keep it simple. Rest is equally as important as training, as I have recently found out.
