This post has obviously been a long time coming -- almost 6 months!

Well still training and unlike before Christmas I can say the training is going well.  I call this blog gettin bigger but it has been a tough slog this winter for putting on any size.  Actually when I weighed myself on the 15th I was down to 180.25...not exactly gettin bigger.

But I should be headed in the other direction very soon.  I finally made the plunge into the dark murky waters of "enhanced" bodybuilding supplementation and I should be gettin a lot bigger in a couple of weeks.  

After being all gung ho to do a natural show last summer it might seem like a 180 degree turn to now be headed down this road but it's not really that big a deal...I think.  While I respect natural competitors tremendously I just think that aesthetically I am more interested in open competition.  

So as always I have some crazy long range plan.  Compete at the qualifying show in November 2010.  That gives me 18 months.  I should be able to put on some serious mass in that time but plan on doing it sanely and gradually.  I'm even working with a trainer once every couple of weeks.  I know what I'm doing in the gym but these sessions are mainly just to step up the motivation a notch and get a good intense training session in.  My trainer is planning on competing at this year's provincial show in July.  He's a bulky 285lbs right now and plans to get on stage at 245.   I figure he'll be a fair bit lighter than that cuz he's packing a lot of bf right now but it's very cool to train with him and get the scoop on preparing to loose 40lbs for a show.
