LOL! Actually, the banana additive in protein is always in short supply...constantly backordered on the banana ProComplete40...just saying.

I am starting to feel and look, (in my eyes anyway) like those pics of Dennis James about to pop out of his skin...I can't rub my eyes and have to do a major contortion to clean the crevices....nice. Only bad thing...I fart when I put my socks on....not nice.

I read the posts in your thread!! You were really gettin under Chic's skin. Of course, I agree with you 100% Matt! Lookin forward to seeing your final package in July. We'll all have to go out even if it's after midnight this time....

Actuallly it will finish much earlier this year since the bikinis are goin on Friday night!!

**axioma** · 11-23-2010, 08:05 AM

Yes, I fully intend to enjoy the experience this time. Xiomara won't be competing this year, so I can just let her steer!

**HeavyDutyGuy** · 11-23-2010, 10:20 AM

You posts whore! Nah, its called participation- something I used to be good at. You are in Anderson right? We are in Greenville now- near downtown may have been the worng place to get- but we didnt know.

**axioma** · 11-23-2010, 12:34 PM

Near downtown is great. As you learn your way around, there are some great areas, just be patient. Know that is difficult with what you are going through, but just hang in there...definately paying for some past Karma or mojo out of whack or something.

He is very unprofessional. He is an attention whore and likes all these threads that are directed at him.

Back and Biceps

Just was not feeling the love today, just a bit off. Having trouble sleeping with the weight gain, got to let my body adjust.

Wide grip pullups: 5 sets of 12-8
Seated nautilus compound row: 4 sets of stack x 12
Rack pulls: 4 sets, WS 510 x 5. Shitty rack, either too low or too high. Couldn't get a groove, really pissed.
Straight arm pulldowns: 3 sets x 12
Superset: Nautilus row (shrugging scapula only) w/ unilateral pulldown 2 sets of 15 reps.
Alt Hammer curls: 3 sets of 12, WS 50lbs (partner really pissed me off, jumps from 45s to 65s. Does them so easy, I think, WTF and grab them. I get one.....one.)
One arm Hammer strength preacher curl machine: 3 sets x 12-10 w/45lbs
Static hold alt. incline dumbbell curls: 3 sets x 10 w/35lbs. (hold one dumbbell up while performing reps with other dumbbell, then alternate).

I am adaptable, its my wife I am worreid about- Sucks cause I have been out going to work and seen way more than she has. Once we get another car that will change.
Downtown - less than a mile from us looks cool... our street- I think a slumlord owns one side of the block- our landlord- at least for now.
so cant wait to get her in a nicer place.

Look forward to seeing everyone again, on and off stage. All of you are going to raise the competitive quality of this show through the roof.

Matt, great workouts and will pass your greetings to Marijan. He is doing well and looking forward to next year. Should be near top of the hw class.

Thanksgiving greetings all around.

**axioma** · 11-25-2010, 04:45 PM

Happy Thanksgiving RX! Had a great meal, didn't stuff, just right, however I will be hitting everything again in about 30min, then pie!

Lots to be grateful for. RX Masters group is one of those things. Have a down day, not feeling the love and BAM, out of the blue, a greeting or concern from one of you guys. Enjoy yourselves and back in the gym tomorrow!
