whats up guys,
some of you may have noticed, i've been a little more quite on the board over the last several days. i've still been around every day, but mostly have just been focusing on behind the scenes stuff and PMs. things are coming together fast now for my upcoming contest. right now, i'm only a few days out. i have work scheduled off till a couple days after the show. i did my last leg training day on sunday. yesterday, today and tomorrow, i'm doing full upper body depletion workouts, using mostly cables. the idea is to deplete the glycogen out of the muscles so that when it comes time to carb up on thursday, the muscle will be like dry sponges, sucking in all the carbs and remaining water.
i'll post up some new pics, as i get dialed in.
this prep hasnt been all sunshine though. i've gotten sick 3 times now. i discovered that dieting in the winter sucks!! most recently, i got an upper respiratory infection. totally took the life out of me. still, i didnt miss work and i didnt miss the gym. i ate my meals, as hard as it was to stay on diet food when i didnt feel well. i'm just coming out of it now. my training coach texted dave palumbo, who had some good advice for me. i took an antibiotic for several days and came off of it as if yesterday. hopefully, that was enough and i dont have a relapse. sometimes, antibiotics can make it hard to drop water, so i wanted that out of my system as soon as possible.
if you guys have any questions along the way here, as things come together, feel free to post them up here and i'll try to help you understand what i'm doing and why i'm doing it.
