Sept 11

226 this morning and dry as a bone! This is with out a doubt the best I have ever looked. Today I start carbing up. Nothing crazy, 35g of carbs added to each of my 7 meals. Tomorrow I will kick it up a notch. I cant wait to get on stage! The work is done, the fat is gone and its time to Redeem myself in front of all my east coast friends and fans! There is a cool thread going on about me in the NO BULL forum at www.musculardevelopment.com There are 4 pictures of me that were just taken on Tuesday nite. Go check them out and see how I am looking!

Busy weekend!!!

I had a very busy weekend! Very Exhausting. Friday nite I was at a wedding for Nicole's cousin Brendan. Weddings are a lot of fun when you are a week out from a show and cant eat or drink anything! There even more fun when you know about 3 people that are attending! I didn't get home from the wedding until about 1 in the morning then I was up at 8 to do cardio and in the gym by 10 to murder my legs! Saturday nite I attended the Team Universe in NYC. It was a good time, I presented the trophy to the women's overall bodybuilding champion and got a thumbs up from Dave on how I look for this show. I didn't get home from the city until after 2 in the morning and then I was up at 8 to get on the treadmill. No training on Sunday so I parked my but on the couch for the season opener of J-E-T-S JETS, JETS,JETS!!!!! The Brett Favre era has begun in NY and I couldn't be more excited. My all time favorite player playing on my favorite team. I watched the MTV Video Music Awards last nite and found the British guy who hosted to be the most obnoxious person I have ever had to listen to! I thought the VMA's totally sucked this year and I really don't understand the craze over the Jonas Bro's. Just my 2 cents!

New Updates!!!

3 new galleries are up in my members section. Tony Monchinski captured me training back 8 days before the North American. Also a whole gallery of me posing 8 days out from the show. All high resolution shots! Check them out!

1 week out from Atlantic City Pro Am, I am 230lbs. Very happy with the way I look today. Grainy, hard and vascular! Today was first leg workout since North Americans and last one before the show so I went all out. I know I'm gonna be sore tomorrow! I'm heading over to the Team Universe in a little while to hang out in the Species booth and mingle with the spectators and athletes attending the show. I cant wait to get back on stage next weekend, I have unfinished business to attend to!

Feels good to be training again with some fats in my system. I can move a little more weight and my stamina is up. I am currently 232 lbs 9 days out from Atlantic city. I posed with Kenny yesterday. I am pleased with the way my body looks at this point!

In the trenches!!

I just shot another In The Trenches Today at Bev Francis' gym in Long Island. I blasted chest, weighing 237 looking super full and Vascular! Also my members section has the pics from North Americans up!

North American Recap

For those of you who don't know yet. I placed 9th in a very competitive class (33 guys) This weekend at the North American Championships. I am not pleased at all because I brought in a package that was only about 80% of what my best is. I looked awesome on Thursday, but fell apart on Friday. I came in with good condition but just totally flattend out. Same problem as last year although, not as severe. I think the problem is an electrolyte imbalance because I was cramping horribly bad all day on friday and I couldn't stop peeing even though I wasn't drinking any water! I have decided to stay on the diet and will seek Redemption in 2 weeks at the Atlantic City Pro AM. I will show everyone what I am truly capable of.
The show was a good learning experience and I made a bunch of new friends! I got to pick the brains of some seasoned veterans and realized I have a lot more fans than I thought!
I want to thank my family and my girlfriend Nicole for all there support! I want to thank Evan, Kenny, Guy and Kris for being there and helping me out so much this weekend. Thanks to Dave for helping me Nail my condition again and thanks Colette for doing a great job with my color! Sorry this blog isn't that detailed but I want to put this behind me and focus on Atlantic City!
