Update: Time To Work

From April to June, I took it easy on my training and diet. My lifts went down a little, and my body fat went up some. It was a nice mental and physical break while I concentrated on some other things, ate like a sugar whore on a quest for diabetes, and only hit the gym a couple times a week. Early July I started getting my diet back under control with some new toggling approaches, expierimenting with intermittent fasting and carb-less post-workout, and started training hard again. My lifts are quickly creeping back up, and in the past 3 weeks I dropped a few percentage points of body fat (if I had to guess, from 10% to 7%). My abs once again can stand in for a wash board and my muscles are angry and hungry again.

I'm planning on doing a couple of NPC Physique Class shows in October, and I'm looking for a powerlifting meet to do around a month before and/or after those shows. The Physique Class bodybuilding show is the New England Men’s Physique Show at John Hancock Hall in Boston, MA on October 27th, along with an as yet unposted show a few weeks prior to that at Montanari Brother's Powerhouse Gym in New Haven, CT. The bodybuilding show's will be a new experience for me, and I'm looking forward to the journey to them. I refuse to sacrifice any strength on this journey, so it will be an interesting juggling act as I simultaneously hunt that 1400 lb raw powerlifting total before 2012 runs its course.


From here on I'll try to keep up more consistently with recording my training. Hopefully it helps someone with their programing, and it gives me some accountability in my training. I'm trying to find a readable format to record my workouts in; any input is appreciated.
