2023. Decided I wanted to go on Holiday and not compete.
2024 need to do a Show and not be a Retiree... Much as I dislike IFBB for thier overlooked Judging skills. Feel I need to
do more IFBB shows.. Maybe not in Australia?
2023 huge fail on regularly filling in my blog. Had the time too... Pile of Notebooks to be entered.
Solid year. No injuries. Plenty of great PR's.. Felt like started well.. Then gained too much midsection bodyfat. Tons of cardio. Reduce Calories. Not seem to shift it.
Previous Journals from 2006 to now. Never missed a year.

2024 Begin the End: Necro's grind to Muscular Salvation
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

I recently switched from my every other day plan to my old 3 on 1 off. I’m already feeling worn down a bit and today my pressing seems off a bit and my shoulders are sore. Seems to me that I do better when I do shoulders on chest days.
Anyway, I’m switching back and I’ll just have to be more disciplined to start earlier in the am as workouts will be longer at just 3-4 sessions per week…but I’ll be more recovered. That’s the name of the game.
Finishing up chest and back now. I’ll hit arms/legs on Friday."A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Not sure how I ended up posting in your blog ha ha.
I do train my entire torso on the same day.
I alternate chest and back sets, that takes me 40 min. Then I spend another 25-30 min on shoulders.
A typical torso session is:
Bench/row x 5 each
Incline/pull-down x4 each
Fly/row variation or pull-down variation x3
Then seated press
Upright rows
Side laterals
Followed by a rest day…then legs/arms….and another rest day."A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.
