2012 Provincials - My Wife and I - East Coast Edition!

[ange_d]

So, trained with Steve at his downtown gym yesturday. Steve is blowing my mind, he looks way different now than ever! He is so lean and hard it's bordering on rediculous for 9.5 weeks out. I always think I look lean and then boom, I train with Steve and feel like doing 5 hours of cardio, lol. If his progress doesn't motivate me I don't know what will.
Two days ago he trained with his brother Greg and he even made Greg feel not ripped enough.

This is a changing week for me for sure, I can tell already. Cutting cal's back and adding a little pre-bed cardio is working just as expected. Abs are starting to show and I feel leaner all over. Workouts are intense and I am sleeping a bit more at night now too! Baby slept almost 6 hours straight last night!

And, Dave F. if I am fat onstage I am blaming it on you because your protein powders taste so good and the NutriWhey mixes into the perfect "pudding" consistency that I can't stop eating it! Just joking, your whey's are saving me these days!

LOL you guys posted with only one minute interval between each other! Seems you inspire each other too! It's nice to see that! Keep going guys!

Don't shoot the messenger! Do you know how hard it is to make a protein powder that women actually LIKE? haha.

Awesome work, both of you. You mutual inspiration is fantastic to see. I've talked to many friends who have told me that show prep is a strain on their relationship, but going through it together and supporting eachother clearly makes it easier.

I know, and we're about 35 km away from each other. Pure coincidence! I swear it was within seconds...

Lol, all you two are missing is matching NASCAR or Artic Cat Jackets and you'll be "that" couple.

9 week out pics. Sorry for the terrible quality. It's hard to find decent lighting in our house and are still experimenting. That said, we both had quite a little cheat yesterday and are both 4 pounds up from morning weight yesterday. Fuller for sure, but like I always say, the little detail cuts vanish! I am 185 in these pics.






Ange:

[TT Eric]

Awesome guys! You both rocks!

No back pics, but seems you both are well balanced.

Eric

[steve_d]

Yeah, I forgot to take the back shots since these were just rushed pics - but if I had to guess, my back is my best bodypart after my arms. Although, oddly enough, I think my legs are starting to approach the list of best body parts. Would have never thought I would say that 5 years ago when I had stick legs!

As for Ange, well, her back is almost as thick as mine and she rows almost the same weight, lol...

[ange_d]

I think Steve posted 2 pics almost exactly the same of me, lol.
Anyway, leaning out well now. I was kinda dissapointed in the pic's but I think I always compare myself to 1 week out from contest Ange. I am starting to get more dirty looks in the gym and some compliments (on my delts of course) so I must be right on track.
I am making my own suits this year, thats why the half done suit in the picture. Turns out I really love beading suits...maybe a business for the future. For now its a great hobby to keep me out of the kitchen in what little free time I have.
Another good week ahead I hope. Steve is having some trouble with his back, hopefully he recovers quickly.

Good on you folks...Keep driving!!!
Its funny how that works.....I get the odd dickhead in the gym, but for the most part guys are complimentary when im getting in shape....But the chix, holy, i find it absurd how catty they get and wont even hardly look at CC when she is dicing up...From friends to very weird ladies in a few short weeks....lol...
CC is always kind and humble.... always.... So its not her that changes the dynamic of the relationship....I just say it means things are going very well....
Next the "do you have an eating disorder questions come out...lol"
Then heaven forbid you forego a drink when out socializing......Now you are to good for them....weird some ladies are.....
