Mo, you FREAK!!!! ha ha ha Just kidding.. I'm not sure if it is a personal best or not, to be honest. I'm kinda weak now that I'm lighter. My best lifts are yet to come after I stop dieting end of September. THEN we'll get SERIOUS with the training weights! For now, I'm going to lift as heavy as I safely can and do a ton of this ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) so I can achieve this ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) ... Thanks for the feedback, my friend!

Not a TOTAL disaster, but definitely not where I need to be to reach my goals. Starting Saturday 7/23/05, I'm taking the next 10 weeks to buckle down, stop making excuses, and finally reach my off-season goal of 175lbs so I can concentrate on gaining some decent muscle throughout ALL of October, November & December before I have to start my contest diet Jan 1st. ****

***No workout or cardio today or tomorrow***I'm taking today & tomorrow off before I start my 10 week push(until October 1st) to finish losing this final bit of weight(around 30lbs or so) so I can get to a suitable off-season weight and stay there for 3 months until I have to start my actual "contest diet" for the Natural Ohio(or whatever show comes up around that time period) in April.

Finally Terry, have you seen any improvement related to creatine? I know there is so much variables to consider...

Mo, The only thing I've noticed is I'm a bit more vascular, but I think that's more due to training, diet & cardio than anything else.. Oh well, I'll keep taking it until I run out.. It was free, anyway..

Hey Terry! Is Everything find? Maybe you are too busy at work to post, but I would guess that your diet and training are find!
Keep going the good job you do!

Thanks for the encouragement, Mo! I've been reading everone's posts every day, but, yep, it's been kinda crazy around here.. My car died, potty training my 3 yr old daughter, keeping my daredevil 18 month old son from hurting himself on a daily basis, etc..... Workout, diet & cardio still going strong. It's just been a bit too hectic to post. I'm still hanging at around 205lbs, so I'll probably start increasing my cardio to 2x per day starting next week and hopefully get back to recording things in my journal. I've still got about 25-30lbs to lose before I'm at a comfortable off-season weight. From there, I'll take several months to try and maintain that weight, build up some more muscle & harden up while at a more reasonable bodyweight. I've talked to a few people & have changed my way of thinking in that I USED to believe a bodybuilder could lose 40-50lbs for a contest(drug free or not) and still be tight for a show. I'm realizing that's pretty rare for someone to pull that off successfully. The more I talk to people, the more I'm leaning towards staying 15-25lbs away from contest weight instead. It seems to be the more sensible way to ensure there's no loose skin at the end of the diet(something I'm sure YOU have never had to worry about).. After I see what I look like at that weight, I'll make the determination on what show I will enter next year. I will DEFINITELY be doing one next year, though, but I'm just not sure of the date. I'll post some new pics in a few weeks, once I'm below 200lbs, just to get some opinions on how I'm coming along. Thanks for staying interested!

Ok people, time to get back into this game FULL TIME and start some serious prep for next year's show. I'm going to try to update daily, for accountability & just to help get back into a regular schedule.. Now that summer is over, I'm back to being extremely white & I'm weighing around 215lbs or so. I'll post some new pics after a couple of weeks of strict dieting, just so I can harden up a bit.. I've been training hard & semi-dieting since my last post, but the diet hasn't been what it needs to be to get where I want. That all changes today!

Well Mo, Thanks for the encouragement & offer to help! I may get with you to pick your brain as I go further along. I've been reading here everyday, just not posting.. Due to unforseen circumstances, my journal will now begin Monday Oct 3rd.. This Saturday I'm going to the NPC Natural Northern USA(or something like that) to check out the competition & stoke the fire for the upcoming 6 months of prep for the April show.. I'll post my first COMPLETE entry Monday & build momentum from there. Keep an eye on me..... Hope all is going well w/your off-season...

Have fun this week end at the show! And if you still look for a natural organisation to compete with, you can look at www.wnso.com Thanks for your question regarding my off-season! Everything is going well, since my last competition, i have been gaining 0,5 to 2 lbs every week and i'm 216 right now, my personal heaviest and i still have 3 months to go until the end of the off season! For the first time in my life, i need in-season pants and off-season pants ;D
