Frank,lately,I just get psyched and pissed before a heavy set and get into the zone....I see nothing, or hear nothing,I just get my Chi going and give it all I`ve got.
As far as losing size goes,my protein is high,diet extremely clean, and my cardio this year is mostly walking slowly outside on a track.............I did this once I felt I got lean enough during my earlier prep, as further intense cardio would eat up muscle as it has done to me in the past.
So far,I`m leaning out even more, and retaining size, resulting in a veiny,more crisp looking physique..........trying to go heavy or heavier in my favorite rep ranges for each bodypart.
I plan on winning the Over-50 in Rochester, and giving the Over-35 and 40 classes a problem also................same guy geat me in Over-50 2 years in a row now...he`s big but he better be on the money conditioningwise because I`m on a mission with an attitude.
I`m psyched, and injury free, with a great training partner......first time I`ve had a partner in over 5 years, and it has made a big difference as she is of the same mindset as me......give 100% effort,100% of the time!
Not bragging,just confident and very psyched which is a rarity for me.....the confident part anyway.

You know ,Tim, it's funny...but I really think most people can't comprehend what we do as competitors in this sport. An aquaintance of mine asked me this weekend why I am so driven and why I push myself so damn hard...my reply to him was.... if he had to ask, then he never would understand.

Tim, Keith....
I understand just where ya'll are coming from.
I was in the gym on Saturday for quite a long time (wife was away on a day trip for a Mom-Daughter get-a-way), so I had a lot of time to kill, (or invest, depending on your view point!) Saturday.
While walking on the treadmill (my batteries died on the walkman), I was observing all the people there, and thinking about the reasons they beleive they are there. Some too get in shape, some to look pretty, some becuase their Doctor said so, etc. And....I had to kind of smile, because I was probably there for all those reasons too....but more.
I was there for the moment. For the enjoyment of the journey. Not just to stand on stage, not just too look good, etc....but for the journey itself.
Some people play chess. Some people lift weights.......
I.....am a bodybuilder....it's not just what I do...it's WHO I am.

I know what you guys mean to a "T" !!
It`s in the blood,kind of like my daily tonic........if I didn`t do it,I wouldn`t be me.
If I did it like most gym members do,I wouldn`t do it at all.
Gotta` do it with fire and intensity,or why bother?

Mon. May 14th.
Quads & Calves:
Quads:
Giant-Set: {Lying Leg Sled: 7pl.-12 9pl.-12 11pl.-12 8pl.-12 {Walking DB Lunge: 4 sets 15 pounders {Leg Extensions: 70-12 70-12 70-10 70-12 {Walking DB Lunge: 4 sets 15 pounders I woke up feeling extremely tired,didn`t feel like doing anything really heavy so I opted to do the above scenario..big mistake as it was extremely painful.....not too heavy but God what a burn.
I would hit the sled for 12,grab the db`s and do deewp walking lunges to the ext. machine,cranck out 12,and grab the db`s again and lunge back to the sled.
Exts. and the last set of lunges on each cycle was as if my legs were being blowtorched!!
Never did walking lunges before,hence the light db`s but I will be doing them again......tough exercise and kinda` glad I went light first time out as they were a real ball buster as far as pain goes!
Cybex Seated Unilateral Leg Press: 150-20 190-15 170-15
Sissy Squats: 3 x failure (about 20 reps or so each set with a deep stretch)
Calves: Standing Calf Raise: 6 x failure,plus half reps to failure at the end ,then a deep stretch. 185-250
Leg Press Calf Raise: 4 x failure: 225-405
Damn good workout,my legs still feel fatigued after 5 hours time..............veiny,and still pumped!

Hellacious workout Tim. That hurt just reading about it! I'm planning on doing walking lunges tomorrow, I've never really used them much either. They seem like a more fluid natural movement though.
