Excellence Is A Place Of Movement... A Journey.
Excellence Is A Place Of Movement... A Journey.
There may be parts of your life where there is Excellence and other ares
where there is not. There may be areas where you are making progress in
Excellence and other areas where you are not. You must learn how to
cultivate a spirit of Excellence in the different aspects of your life.
Excellence is in the details. Excellence is in precision. It will
require attentiveness. It will require focus. It will require an
Investment of TIME.
Excellence is the highest quality you can presently produce. Birth an
awareness of Excellence. Celebrate Excellence in your daily life... in
your finances, in your attitude, in your conversation and in your
relationships. Develop a spirit of Excellence... Your Life Will Never Be
The Same.
First Thing Every Morning
If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400 -
with no balance carried from day to day - what would you do? Well, you
do have such a bank...TIME.
Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules
off as "lost" whatever you have failed to use toward good purposes. It
carries over no balances and allows no overdrafts. You can't hoard it,
save it, store it, loan it or invest it. You can only use it ... TIME.
Here are six terrific truths about time:
First: Nobody can manage time. But you can manage those things that take up your time.
Second: Time is expensive. As a matter of fact, 80 percent of our
day is spent on those things or those people that only bring us two
percent of our results.
Third: Time is perishable. It cannot be saved for later use.
Fourth: Time is measurable. Everybody has the same amount of
time...pauper or king. It is not how much time you have; it is how much
you use.
Fifth: Time is irreplaceable. We never make back time once it is gone.
Sixth: Time is a priority. You have enough time for anything in the world, so long as it ranks high enough among your priorities.
Assign A Priority To Each Hour of Your Day.
Our life is like a train on the Track to Success. Each day God gives us
24 golden box cars (hours) to load up. What we place in each box car, or
hour, determines the speed and distance our train will move toward our
next city of accomplishment. Make your life count today. Every hour is a
Seed. You control The Harvest.
Even If You Are On The Right Track...You Will Get Run Over If You Just Sit There.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything...they just make the best of everything.
Live Simply.
Speak Kindly.
Care Deeply.
Love Generously.
I have my first Amateur Bodybuilding Competition Show coming up real soon, that I have been Mentally/Physically preparing for. My training has been very Intense and diet/nutrition has been going very well too... In all aspects, I have made many sacrifices to make this happen.
I am doing the best that I can with what I have to work with for now. All I can do is hope and pray... and I will have, and I will make the most fun out of these upcoming experiences... I know I will cherish every moment no matter what the outcome for sure.
https://www.********.com/events/4956...ref=ts&fref=ts
THE QUESTION ISN"T HOW MUCH MORE CAN YOU TAKE. BUT HOW MUCH MORE CAN YOU GIVE. JUST WHEN YOUR READY TO QUIT, YOUR MIND SAYS PUSH HARDER. YOU LISTEN, SENSING AN INNER STRENGTH THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE. AND SUDDENLY YOU DISCOVER... YOU NO LONGER FEEL PAIN.
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
PERSEVERE
• Persist no matter what.
• Endure discomfort.
• Request help.
• Steadfastly hold on to your beliefs and values.
• Envision triumph.
• Very consistently keep at it.
• Embrace adversity as your teacher.
• Refuse to give up.
• Enjoy and celebrate every tiny bit of progress!
Refuse To Quit. Ever. The secret of champions is there refusal to quit trying. Futility is merely a feeling... Conquer it and keep heading toward your goals. Create small successes when the large ones seem Impossible. Even skyscrapers are built a brick at a time. Quitting...does not really give you what you really want.
Every step away from yesterday is significant progress.
**********************************************
***LEG TRAINING***
Standing Calf Raises: 3 sets @ 20 - 25 reps.
Seated Calf Raises: 3 sets @ 20 - 25 reps.
Front Tibialis Curls: 3 sets @ 12 - 15 reps.
Lying Hamstring Curls: 4 sets @ 10 - 12 reps.
Leg Extensions: 3 sets @ 10 - 12 reps.
Squats: 2 sets @ 12 to 15 reps. 2 sets 8 to 10 reps. 2 sets to failure.
Alternate 1 Leg Lunge and Stretch: 3 sets each, reps to failure.
A few simple rules to remember to stimulate MUSCLE GROWTH:
1: Heavy lifting (4-6 reps), which promotes a high rate of mechanical
damage/protein degradation.
2: Relatively high reps (up to 12-15 for the upper body and 15-20 for
the lower body), which promote a high mechanical degradation due to the
combination of moderate time under tension and intra muscular tension
magnitude.
3: Constant tension sets. To do these properly, you must flex the
target muscle hard during every inch of every rep. You can never allow
the muscle to relax. This means no rest between reps either. This
method is best kept for isolation exercises.
When weight training( whether your using heavy or light) try not to
let the muscles relax during the set (always flexing as hard as
possible during every inch of every rep) with 50-60% of the maximum
performed to failure, HGH, and IGF-1 levels will be enhanced!
The constant tension exercises can build size and strength despite
using relatively light weights and when if muscle damage is fairly low.
However, if the muscle is allowed to relax during the set, oxygen and
blood will flow into the muscle and you won't reach optimal benefits.
************************************************** **********
Chop your own wood... and it will warm you twice.
Gratitude ~ When you wake up in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive... to breath... to think... to enjoy... to love.
By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before.Last edited by Kevin Mattson; 03-10-2013 at 11:40 AM.

Gotta love to hate those squats and Intense leg training workouts!!! lol. I am glad for the extra size and strength that I have been able to put on over the past year now. It sure has not been easy... I have had to work at it slowly. Especially when you overcome physical set backs and all. Actually, the pants that I wore a year ago are too tight in my legs now... but the waist line is still very loose!!! Thankful for that for sure. Now gotta work on getting some definition, and trying to get the striations and veins to pop too. That will be the Ultimate Sweetness for sure!!! Anyway... keep up the Impressive work bro!!!

I signed up already I have never been shredded to the bone (came close once) and with everything that happened last year I'm doing what makes me happy. I want to see what my abs look like and have insane striations and definition; then I will clean bulk as long as it takes while getting monstrously strong. I take these challenges as additional motivation to push harder and hopefully inspire at least one person who is having a tough time or feeling beat down. Keep pushing and don't let anybody step on your dreams.

Nice, how much did/are you start/currently? I started at 149 and I'm now at like 157-158 with about 5 weeks left to go. (The other day I was at 159.6 lbs intra-workout!!! - glycogen retention).
Nice! Good job! I still haven't posted any progress pics (even though I've taken a s**t ton).
You are allowed to do both concurrently? I had no idea, I thought you could only do one at a time. And since my last day for this is April 25, and the last day to register for Summer Shred is April 1st I thought I couldn't."The beast's eyes show panic, he had thought he was an immovable object; but the man in black was an unstoppable force.

Thanks RP. Get those pics up so we can see that progress. My update pictures are up, and I am very happy with the results at this point. I just have a few more weeks; time to really bust ass now!
