Obstacles and the finish line...

Alright, I haven't really posted anything in awhile, I have been quite busy with a new baby, my business, still working on my business degree, and body building. Doing all this while being on reduced carbs, double training with one day recovery, lack of sleep.  So yep, its been pretty rough...but lets move past the excuses and get down to the real meat of this article.

Ok so life throws us curve balls, like a new born baby. lol! and a good teacher has told me that you have to be uncomfortable to be a champion. I have always believed this as well and as much as I try to embrace it, it !@#$%^ sucks haha! It's important to set aside things that distract you, and stay focused on the goal, (No I don't set aside my baby :) but I have a very supportive wife who takes the brunt of it so I can continue on the path). Those that help you keep them near, as a good support system is very beneficial but at the end, at this point if you succeed or not its all up the individual. I can tell you now I don't feel ready, but I can only keep trying, and in the face of death (Losing) it is much more glorious to die in battle than to hide cowardly in fear and die for a life time.

Anyways... :)

What am I doing these days for training. Paul has me switching it up a bit, from what I typically do, so discomfort level is much higher but it feels so good to know I am breaking barriers. As most of us know our brain functions off of carbs, our bodies use carbs for energy, and I don't get much of that anymore. Training is 6 days on and one day off. Pretty close to comp now so I will also be changing my stack as of today from a building stack to a cutting stack.

Whats in my cutting stack?

Heat Accelerated (Fat Burner)
Roxy Lean (Metabolism and weight management supplement, I normally stack this with Rx6 instead of heat but Canada doesn't get that anymore. Even for me :) But heat is good, still need to try out Rock Solid Ripped and Sexy which I will be getting in soon.)
L-Carnitine
Acid (CLA Supplement)
Green Tea Extract

I still maintain my muscle protection stack (differs from my building stack)

Protein (This increases during this phase)
Casein
BCAAs

My general health stack
Greens
Multivitamin
Omega 3's

One month to three weeks from comp I do a slight modification again, that will get me primed for comp, that will harden the muscles dry me out and give me a tight look.

*Keep in mind if you are going to try this stack timing and doses are key, this stack must be accompanied by a good fitness routine and an above average to exceptional diet to get the best results, you can get more info at Armour Projects. As I love to talk about supps and training to people all day, this is what I do :)*

Well that's it for today, I'll try to keep the postings more frequent.

Thanks to all the supporters and the readers.

Keep posted see ya soon.
