And that was all my workouts! All caught up an tommorrow is an off day, back in Thursday for Power day!

So far my diet has been all over the place, whenever I come home there is no structure it seems. Especially being around christmas season and seeing all my buddies I havnt seen in long time. Went out drinking Friday for my birthday which resulted in me getting way too drunk and of course I cant keep my mouth shut apparently! Lol went home with a shiner an scratch on head so at least I had an eventful birthday. Now I remember why I dont drink, especially in this small town where thats all everyone does.

Anyways I ended up getting a sick food scale for my bday that has a built in directory of 900 foods an tells u all the nutrition value, will be verrrryy useful during prep! Also got a mini grill an a bunch of chicken breast

[tripleh210]

Here are some pics attached of where I am at now!

Nice workouts
Great progress pictures, looking good!
Happy late birthday

With traps and guns like that, how's the other guy look.

Happy Birthday, and lookin shap.

haha exactly!

Well, unfortunately my buddy was dead set on me not getting in to it with this guy and while he was in the middle the guys 2 lady friends hit me with a purse then a hook to the eye haha. The messed up thing is that this guy was calling these girls all kinds of names an that's why I freaked on the guy, then they end up defending him anyway...sooo retarded! lol

Thanks bud!

Yeah, UFE specifically has it together and has impressed me thus far. I like the idea of being well prepared in advance and it motivates you even more when you have already put money in and committed to a date.

So true - until the check is in the mail you are able to back out, and have witnessed many a person do just this. The intensity definitely kicks up a notch once there is no turning back!

[mmafighterskiba]

Isnt that the best feeling? As soon as i registered for mine i thought the same thing...ill be following your log from here on out...youve been putting up impressive numbers so keep it up!

Yeah it is a great feeling! Especially because months ago I was just "thinking about it". Now it has become a reality and I am sooo glad that I chose to do this and commit to it.

Thanks for following and I will!

Merry Christmas

Have a great time with everyone

Enjoy it

[tripleh210]

So been pretty busy these past couple days with Christmas stuff as I am sure everyone else has been as well. Luckily. I only missed 2 workouts on Christmas eve and Christmas Day. Was going to go Christmas day but the gym was closed . I hope everyone had a great Christmas and got to see friends and family and eat some great food!

Anyways,

Since I have been at my parents place my weight has been going up to around 210 lbs. Which is annoying because I didn't want to put on much extra fat. BUT strength has still been going up and I am sure this Christmas gain will come off rather quickly once I get going on the prep diet. I will be heading back home to Toronto next Wednesday and will have one or two more nights out with my buddy who came home for Christmas from Scotland. Then January 7th is when I will start prep (and college) which will give me 23 weeks to diet down to comp weight!.

I had some workouts since I last posted but rather than play catch up I will just start posting from now on. Havn't had too much PR's but did hit 275lbs x 5 on bench! Going in today to set a new record for squats

Kill those squats today! I'm afraid I may have to go on a mini-cut sooner than I had planned because of all these damn cookies in my house! The goal is to stay below 215 lbs until at least March 1st.

Ready to get your prep moving!

[TakedaShingen]

Aww man...I came in here expecting monstrous workouts for motivation. Left disappointed lol.

I like when I see this thread come up, and I know there's beast sh*t happening in here.

Go get those squats!
