Well, I've decided that it's time! The show has been chosen. The training routine is set. And the food is read to be eaten. I won't lie and say I'm chocked I with knowledge- far from it in fact! I've decided to compete to get a better understanding of my body, my training and my mental...

I'm Chris and I'm logging my journey to an IFPA Pro Card. I chose the title for very specific reasons. This is an odyssey. I don't know what type of training I'll use, what diet, my peaking protocols, or what shows I'll be doing. I have no doubt finding out the best methods for me will be a...

Ok folks, so here goes. I'm a 35 year old father of 4 (2 sets of twin boys) with a 50-60 hour/week work-life (software designer) who is entering his first competition. I have been training fairly consistently since I was 15, and extremely consistently (6 days/wk) for the past 5 years. I've always...

OKAY! Destination........ March 27th, 2010...... NPC Mr. Ms. Buffalo. I competed in oct 2009 in NGA show in figure. It is known that figure is going to much smaller girls now. So i found out that figure is not for me. Since the competition i have been lifting heavy and building muscle without...

HERE IT GOES... I am a 23 year old aspiring natural pro bodybuilder. This will be my third show prep, and I fully intend on stepping on stage fuller AND better conditioned that my previous two years. In the past two years i've competed in the INBF both times. My first year I placed first in...

My name is Adam Lalikos, and I believe in fitness... It's about that time, time to get back on the boards, logging the workouts and putting in the work to hopefully step on stage again sometime during the 2015 season. I've been slacking in my old journal as of late, but I plan to be back logging...

Short intro to this journal. My name is Adam Lalikos, 32 years old, 6'4" and currently 216.6 lbs as of this morning on the scale. My last (and only) contest was the OCB Southern Cross Florida State Naturals held in October of 2010 where I won both the novice class and overall. My previous journal...

My names Adam and I'm a 21 year old undergraduate in my final year from Dublin, Ireland. I have been following the journals of guys like FatherFlex, Quelly, ConLav, BioLayne, FltallPaul for the past few years and I really enjoy seeing the progress that gets made in and outside of the gym. As...

Hello all! I've finally had some time to start my new journal!! It's been a long time since I've posted but things are moving along nicely now with my life so I was hoping to reconnect with some old BB forum friends and the excellent motivation they provide :) What's new! - After a nice start...

I started competing a couple years ago and entered in the Mr. Natural MN for my first show. I took 4th in the novice tall and I was hooked! I did a tiny mini bulk and then hired Layne Norton to train me for a 3 show in a row. I placed 1st in novice tall at the Natural Badger Classic in WI! My next...

Hey every body My name is Mike... and right now I have been training seriously for the past year and a half, since January 2009. Been through some ups and downs with a few injuries this past year, but finally ready to get this going. Next year I will be competing in my first show(s)......

Wanted to keep a log as I contest prep going into my first men's physique show. I figured logging my food and workouts would be a good way to subjectively look at my progress so I can make accurate assessments and changes as time moves along. My show is November 16th, a little over 20 weeks...

Booyah Grandma, Booyah! As the title says I'm giving it another go. This will be my 6th contest. My last two contests in October were less than satisfying as I didn't bring what I knew I had to. Since then I've maintained my weight while recovering my metabolism and joints. That time has passed...
