Thanks James, been tough lately. Working 10 hours a day going to 12 Monday. I have been getting all my training in. Have just been going in and doing it in a daze. That is why I have not been posting them. Did legs for the last time before contest today. Hope to pump up upper body on Monday and Tuesday. If I have to work 12, probably will not happen. I did think ahead and had already put Thursday and Friday down for vacation days. At least I can rest up a little on those days. I hear the show is down a little from last year, hope there will be several last minute entries

Are you able to eat every 3 hours or so with your work, Roger? I'm thinking about changing jobs and that may be a real challenge for me versus now.

Chris, I have to sneak food at my table during work. Right now I am eating 8 times a day. It is more like every 2 hours.If I don't eat often I get sick at my stomach. Is the new job worth the change in your diet?

6/18/09 Well they have me working 12 hour days now, been a tough 3 days. Took today and Friday off to rest up for the show. Body weight hit 131.4 this morning. Little lighter than I was shooting for, but I figure I will still hit stage at 133. Do not know if we are going to stay on 12 hours at work after this month. Hope not can not get in much training if we do. Not going to worry about it now. I am focused on one thing { Saturday morning Pre Judging} I am better than I was last year, now I have to show the judges that I am coming to win this thing. It has been a BLAST getting ready. I love pushing myself to the limit. Thanks everyone for all the encouragement you have given me.

Have not posted any training cause all I am doing is eating. Loving every minute of it. LOL Work is back to trying to kill all of us. We are doing 12 hours again. Will be off the week of july 4th so I will probably start back then. Need to concentrate on leg size. Head judge said that was my one weakest area. I feel I did bring them up some the past year, still need to bring up hamstrings more. Posted a site for pics in Members Photos[ need some hard feedback from you guys please]

Decided to pass and may plan on a bigger show in Missouri next April. Really just want to have some fun training to get a little bigger and some strength back.

Sunny will do the Master and probably the open short, she is 5ft 4 inches. We did our first show together, have not done it since. Don't really know why just the way things fall.
