The never ending quest.

So I carbed up on Friday, and upon seeing that I was really filling in nicely in the mirror following my Saturday morning workout, decided to cut carbs again for a little more cut. Trained Sunday, so I was already losing the extra pump; I mean, it was all purposeful, all thought out. So when I glanced in the mirror heading for the shower after legs Monday my first thought was, "Where did my F'n muscles go?"

I went and watched part of the Muscle Beach bodybuilding competition on Sunday. I kept getting twisted up in the stands from unconciously flexing up with the competors. There were some guys who looked really good and some decent posing routines. It took me about 1/2 hour of walking down the boardwalk before I regained my bodybuilder strutt. I am determined to keep fighting to improve my physique, while at the same time, appreciate what I have already gotten done.

Buddhism, the middle way.

Had the day off Friday, so I went into press today with a passion. Mixed it up with flat dumb bells to kick things off. I complain that heavy DB's are a bitch to get into form, but it was all real smooth right into 120's for 8. I then did weighted dips and incline press. By the time I got to super setting cables, 8 low/8 flat/8 high, it was like my pecks were so swollen my upper arms hit them before I could bring the handles to center. I followed this with BB OHP, side raises, and then got a little carried away with tris, 1 arm db presses in the 9-11 range followed by super setting angled skull crushers and close presses.

My emotional pain levels are off the charts right now. I will channel my frustration and hurt, and I will be stronger and bigger for it.
