250 days

Woke up at 3:45 AM (fell asleep at 8:30 on the couch)...might as well get to the gym to get started early. Back today with a switch up on the workout.

6:40 AM: Destroyed my back today doing 6 exercises drop set style. My method of training is a bit unique comprising only of drop sets for all muscle groups. It's quick but brutal and highly effective. When you push past the point of failure and your weights move upward, muscle will be built.

No cardio this week, which is nice but when I start to do it I'm thinking that walking by the water at home is the best bet, might as well take advantage of living 2500 feet away from LI Sound! I'll be interested to see what my measurements will be after taking off from cardio for two weeks, but working on my house and moving stuff around...and now off to sell some staffing!

End of day: decent eating day today...went over by 100 calories, but I played racquetball and didnt really have to do cardio so it's all good. One thing I'm learning now that I'm training for my 5th show is that you can balance certain things. If you either reduce calories the day after eating too much, or do some extra cardio to make up for it. One thing that's nice is when you eat clean all the time the little cheats aren't a huge deal. Some may think I'm obsessing over all this stuff, but that's what bodybuilders do.

Rant: Personal Trainers....THEY SUCK! Yes I was one, so I can say this without giving a shit. Club 24 employs skinny hunched over guys and fat guys...some of these people probably never work out!!! The reason they stay employed is because the average PT client doesn't ever do anything so any workout will work...listen folks THEY TELL YOU THIS DURING TRAINING. PT is all about playing to people's emotions and then getting them to buy more sessions. Once you build a relationship with a trainer it's hard to break it...don't get me wrong there are plenty of legitimate hard workers who truly care about people and I've worked with and hired many (I will point out my friend Elaine is one of the best, no last names though!), but the majority are either uneducated or just trying to make a buck...buyer beware.
