I just want to say that this year is my first year .. getting ready for a show at 49 1/2 i read Ripped 2 and beyond brawn -- first few chapters really valuable.. ALL i can say is with my trainer and reading this.. i have seen such results i can not tell you..

Things that pushed me over the top were 7/7/7's (EZ bar curls) and same on leg curl for hams. I suspect runnign stairs is goign to get my ass rock hard too.

For me its just being in the gym. I have fave exercises and those which I have a weird love , hate but total respect for like squats. At the mo I am totally into deadlifts, I only started doing them a month ago but they rock. Somehow I feel strong mentally and physically when I do them... and am starving after a back session. Fav. food? Well, thanks to bb'ing I am finally in the driving seat re. nutrition so I feel great everytime I eat real, clean healthy food, which is 5 times per day. Such a buzz of good vibes from eating and training well. Tuna tomato and cucumber in a warm pitta bread?

Wow that sounds good -- tuna, tomatoe , cuke on pita! I've been eating tuna out of a bag all day.

Here's one thing I've discovered about "favorite" exercises .. I tend to do them too much. I love back day. I can't get enough back exercise. So I overtrain. So lately, honestly I love every different night because I can watch how I'm improving or lagging. I finally learned how to do squats, deads & GMs correctly & I can do them w/o hurting my back. My latest kick is trying to do pull-ups / chin-ups. I still suck, but I'm so excited to even be trying them.

iamfirmin -- it sounds like you are a very strong & determined person who loves to try new & challenging things -- I'm sure you are finding every different aspect of your comeptition training to be a kick & a half. What do you like doing so far? What gives you the biggest pumps?
