How I got here…

I started lifting 2 years ago in June. I was 44 at the time. Bodybuilding was not even an after thought when I started working out. However, I remember the day it came to mind. At that time I had only been lifting about 6 months. For some reason I got this idea into my head that I wanted to compete. I did. Just 5 months later, I hit the stage with only 11 months of lifting under my belt and had essentially NO idea about diet, cardio and peak week or prep in general. Um, you could tell to. I placed, but it was only because the classes were small.
The promoter of the show knew I had also signed up for another show just 5 weeks later. He was a BB’ing coach. So he gave me a small amount of instruction and direction.
The next five weeks made all the difference in the world.
I won the masters class, placed 2nd in the novice and 3rd in the open middleweights. AND this show was much larger than my first one. It was at that time that I became hooked.

I am married to an awesome wife who is very supportive of BB’ing. I live in Tennessee.

TODAY's down and dirty!!!!!

Today was back. Although my lower back feels much, much better. I am still going to error on the side of caution before I start performing really heavy compound movements like my all time favorite, RACK DEADS.
BUT.......I am still pushing the limits on every rep, and every set. Nothing is left in the gym.

I'll also be posting a couple of pix tomorrow.

Close Grip PD's 1/2/3 tempo
4 sets

HS Low Rows
4 sets

Reverse Fly's PECK DECK 1/2/6 tempo...these were brutal
4 sets

Straight Arm PD's
4 sets

CARDIO: 45 minute LISS

Is this your power, rep, shock, or FDFS week? I just started the P/RR/S system. What have your results been with it so far?

This is my power week. I usually do 2 power weeks, 2 rep weeks, and one shock week. Then repeat.

As for my results. They have been awesome. The great thing about PRRS is it's adaptibility. You can make it fit any program.

I have thought about doing 3 weeks of power, 2 rep, and 1 shock to work on my strength. I agree about the program not letting you get stagnant.

Ha, not even close. Eric's a great coach and has a ton of knowledge.

I did have plans to compete in June but due to some family issues had to back out.
Eric was doing my prep at the time, and believe me when I tell you. He had me DIALED in.

My last show was the NGA show here in Nashville last June.

Our time on the beach could have def been better. It rained most of the time we were down there. SUCKED. However there were a few short hours of sunshine we took advantage of.

I've had a pretty messed up work schedule lately because of a new contract our company recently picked up.

I'll generally be hitting the gym around midnight for a while, so when you see my workouts posted at 4am that is why....
