Contest Prep for 2010 Provincials

[shredded_Tris]

I'll have to see what looks best when I dry out a little more.
Thanks for the input though. Chances are I will do more than one MM shot anyways.

OMG Boys finally starting to feel that shitty hunger coming back lol
After Saturday nights refeed I felt almost sickly full until just a few minutes ago and now the hunger returns!! Full force!
Thank god we only have 19 Days to go.

Today is kinda shitty cause I am sort of second guessing myself. Doing the whole worst critic thing, thinking I am not going to be able to match up to the tough competition. My weight class is so Stacked this year it's sick! I am actually staring to become a little nervous.

No need to be nervous. You've set out a goal of coming in shredded, and that will happen. Win or lose, you will look better than last year, so who cares if someone shows up better than you. There will obviously always be someone better than you (until you win the Mr. O), so it means nothing what place your trophy says.

You can't second guess yourself UNLESS you didn't give it your all, and come in as lean and as big as you could have given the time you had to work with. So erase that mentality and focus on how you look YOUR best.

I'd rather place 5th out of 10 insane competitors, than 1st out of 5 shitty ones.

Great post and advice Steve D...hang in there ST. We've been following along and are all pulling for you to bring it...no second guessing...ur competitors are goin thru the same garbage...ur carb depleted diet is messin with ya....

Thanks for all the continued support guys it means a lot to me!
I KNOW I put everything I had into this one so in the end there ISN'T anything else I think I could have done.
It seems like this week is going by SOOOOOOOOO SLOW!! I am starving and exhausted. Super Edgy and the bottoms of my feet hurt so bad from all the cardio it's nuts. 17 more days of Hell!

However next Friday is my last day of work and then I am on Vacation for two weeks, It just seems like work is so busy and it's going by so slow every day! I haven't even had time to work out my routine yet. I'm not too worried about it though my song is all cut and ready and it can only be 1 minute so how complex can my routine be anyways lol.

Cravings aren't out of control but they are pretty bad.....Unfortunately my Girl had to make a chocolate cake the other night and I almost died! I got through it though without going near the kitchen. She felt super bad about it but didnt have any other choice. She is great support for me. She has to get ready for a bake sale and she is using her friends house to do all the baking at JUST FOR ME
THANK GOD haha!
Anyways I gotta get back to work but I will have updates and pics for you guys again this Saturday.

Here is something I was curious about!!

WHO on here Pumps their ABS before going out on stage. I noticed the other night my abs were huge after working them for just about 5 minutes the other night. It was insane! something I never really did at a previous show.

Opinions??

I'd say no way...pump up your upper extremities...delts, tris, bis (curls, push ups, laterals for delts etc) but stay away from the abs and legs...others may have diff opinion...

I agree.

Also ageed.

[shredded_Tris]

I know it's stupid to pump legs but has anyone ever even considered the abs? They are a muscle like everything else and IMO they look great a little pumped up.

[steve_d]

I never pump my tris...Only the small pump they might get from a few pushups. Quickkly after doing a few sets of triceps, they get so pumped they lose a lot of the cuts. Same deal with quads.
