Since the New Englands are history,I thought I`d start a new journal. Back on the set today training legs with my partner who was terribly sick,but trained her ass off anyway........... now I`m on the road to Rochester on June 9th.,which for me is my local show, then the NABBA Nationals in Sept. I regret having to post that I`ll be skipping the NPC Masters Nationals, as after having already done two contests,then the Rochester show coming up,I simply won`t be able to plunk down the $600.00-$700.00 dollars I`ll need at the very minimum to compete in Pittsburgh. Entry fees alone for 2 classes will be $200.00,plus transportation,hotel,food,Pro-Tan,monthly bills,etc. The NABBA Nats will be cheaper, and I feel that I`ll do better anyway with the lesser amounts of juice being used..........last Masters Nats I did,I felt like I was at the friggin` Olympia!! LOL ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) That being said,if I can swing it financially,I`ll do it,as I always go in blind and it`s not a case of ducking the competition,but I just ain`t got the cashola right now. Want to wish Keith all the best and I know he`s gonna` do Team WOTW proud by kicking some ass anyway,so I still win out as I consider him a great friend and a big part of this board! #teamwotwsf4#

Tues. May 8th.
Quads & Calves:
Quads: Leg Press: 2pl.-20 3pl.-20 4pl.-20 5pl.-20 6pl.-20 Was gonna` do squats as I hadn`t done them in a good while due to my different contest leg workout,thanks to Karrie BTW,but just felt tired from doing the contest,so I skipped them.
Dumbell Lunges: 20-20 30-15 40-12 As usual,I did these one leg at a time with my lead foot up on a wedge type platform.
Leg Extensions: 3 x 20 with 90 pounds
Adductor Machine: 110-25 150-20 190-15
Sissy Squats: 3 x failure with bodyweight Took a tip from YB since I saw he did these recently and they totally smoked my quads.......great finishing movement!
Calves: Smith Machine Calf Raise: 5 x failure plus half reps to failure on every set. Was forced to do these as I didn`t have access to the back room where I usually do calves.
Glad I did them as I really felt them.......my calves looked like cows with veins!! LOL ;D
Cybex Rotary Calf Machine: 3 x failure-150 pounds
Once again,I hobbled out of the gym! #oldmansmiley9lq#

Way to go buddy! Nice job at the New England! Should we call you 4x4 now ? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I think you may prefer a 1x1, huh? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Kidding aside, you look great, as always. Consistency is the key, as you know! Keep on the road....you are leading the way for us! The new journal is a good idea, I think. Kinda shows passing a mile stone (No, not a kidney stone!), and onto the next goal. I am pacing myself on nutrition and WO. I am responsible for how I will look, so I've taken the full responsibility for my diet and training now. I will try to be in the best shape I can be, remembering this.....that ROUND is a shape too! ;D Glad you had safe trip and that you're back here with us. We were all a little worried when we didn't hear anything about you right away. I understand about the Pitts Show. When you consider all the things we drop money down for, plus the current price of gas too, all this adds up really fast. I'm trying to plan NEXT YEAR already, since I would like to try the Pitts Masters and the North American, since that's my home town show. OK Tim. Good job (pat on the back here), now get your azz back in the gym! There's work to be done! Frank

Tim....thanks so much for your support, my friend. I'm definitely gonna give it my best shot. I'll be doing both the Over 40 and the Over 50 ( my birthday is in June) divisions. I don't think alot of people realize the quality of the physiques in the Master's Divisions in National shows today. I'm really excited to see how I stack up...especially having been away from the stage for awhile now. I mentioned it in another one of your threads, but I also think I'm going to do the NABBA Nats as well, so I'll finally get to meet you there. It will be an honor to do so. Nothing but total respect for you,bro.
Keith

Great workouts, Tim. Truly inspirational. very few fit the role model label better than you and Keith.
Tim, understand fully about Masters. I limit myself what to attend because of finances and time. Best of luck in Rochester and Harrisburg.
And Keith, se you in Pittsburgh. Great that you are crossing to do 40 and 50. Both divisions are very competitive, but no doubt that you belong.

TIM,
If you like BIG trophies, the Dave Liberman Show in Cleveland has 6 foot trophies for first place, and 8 FOOT trophies for the overall winners. The overall winners also get a jacket, sweatsuit, bag of supps, etc. They truly drug test the top 3 plus 2 more random in each class.
How the hell do you fit an 8 foot trophy in a normal car? Sunroof ? ;D

Post by GerryT on May 10, 2007 7:58:52 GMT -5
LOL, Frank! Tie the trophy to the roof like a hunted deer maybe! ;D
Tim, not pissed. Just disappointed, but understand all too well. Been there. But will catch you again soon. Glad that Dan is competing. Hope he does well.
And if I see Ed McMahon, I'll put him on a bus going your way! ;D

Thanks Gerry,I could really use Ed right now!! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Frank,anytime I`ve taken a bus to a contest which I often am forced to do,I bring a nutdriver(no not my wife) and take the trophies apart and put them in an extra bag that I bring with me. I`ve got to put some of these trophies in the cellar...got no more room at all.
