Good luck to you. I had similar experiences in my life as well, being mediocre to average at a lot of different things, but not truly good at anything. I hope bodybuilding is the thing that you will excel at.

Yeah, they're really nice guys and know what they're talking about. I'm glad u was able to make it into their help 5-6 months before the contests.

As you guys wait for a new video titled, *Skinny Fat*, here are some foods I've been eating during contest prep so far. Besides the protein powders, everything else was prepped at home. I didn't realize how difficult it was to build the habit of cooking at home for almost every meal, if not every meal!... but very important...

[extremenergy3]

I've never had a 6 pack before. My arms and legs have always looked fairly thin, but once I lift up my shirt, there's a little belly. Flat, no definition. I hope to go beyond all that 6 pack stuff and have a totally shredded physique!

[extremenergy3]

Some tasty foods from the past couple days

Absolutely, the best thing you can do for your diet is cook at home. There are just too many factors beyond our control otherwise. Not only that, but in spite of the fact that I eat extremely healthy, I actually spend far less on food when I'm doing the cooking.

I just made a new episode of Extra Ordinary going off exactly what you said! (plus food porn slideshow of all the foods I've eaten and miss... )

Some training, finally! RPE scales, autoregulation, high rep upper body day.

[shoefanatic23]

How are you liking the RPE scale method? I see a few other 3dmj youtubers using that method as well.

[senoner]

In on this. GL OP!

[extremenergy3]

I like it a lot. I have to have the motivation to push myself a little bit because there are times when I will only want to do a one or two back off sets instead of going up and stopping at the RPE for the back off sets. So even though I could keep going, sometimes I'll stop. But what's good is that if I'm motivated, I'll keep going and get up to 5 sets.

It's good because it's based on how you feel that day. No prescribed sets, you go until you hit that back off RPE. So I've definitely taken advantage of that!

Sorry if that doesn't make sense! Hard to explain haha

In on this. GL OP!

Thank you! I appreciate all the support I get. I hope to provide more quality entertainment through my bodybuilding series and hopefully become partnered with youtube one day!

[extremenergy3]

Lower light workout #1. 14-16 reps on almost everything with an RPE 9 for most. Back off sets were RPE 10. I hate high rep legs!!!

[extremenergy3]

Was going to make another episode tomorrow, but seems like the schedule would have been too tight to make another. So here it is today! [Upper Light #2]

Feeling like I'm getting stronger and 5.5lbs down

[extremenergy3]

Team 3DMJ mash up. Some footage I got from that day. More to come!

[shoefanatic23]

Hey man,

I am SF based as well. I definitely will be subscribing and following along on your journey. If you ever have an interest in getting together for a work out or something let me know man. I am currently in the off season working with Layne on a lean gain for the next 5 months myself after just finishing my first round of competition this past fall on my own.

Keep your head up and focused on the end goal. Prep is tough but you just have to enjoy the journey and the progress along the way!
