Excited at the prospects! Need To Build Muscle Inc. Official Blog Another blog post by me.
With all I have been going through as of late I have been pretty de-motivated in regards to my training and especially my diet. I have just been like what is the point really. My training has been autopilot for the most part to be honest.
I have been thinking about ways to get a new mind set going. Now of course before this really takes place I must get through my legal issues but I have decided to try not to stress. (Easier said than done trust me!) And to take one day at a time because I cannot effect what is going on so why freak about it and ruin the good times and good things I have going in the right here right now. But what I have decided for the future is (I cannot believe these words are coming from me!) I want to compete natty!
I do not mean to say I want to compete in tested shows…not at all. I think that is totally unfair as I have 20 years of gear and going against someone who is pure would not feel right to me. I mean I want to do non-tested shown natty. Not sure if it would be nationals such as masters or not but state and regional for sure.
I am excited at the prospect of it! The challenge is enormous. The level of exactness is intimidating. Can I do it? I do not know but to be honest the last few years of competing have lost something for me and I think it is the fact that I pretty much know how it will go. This year I was excited having identified my whey allergy, which really hurt my prep and look last year and I think my look would have showed the difference but I still knew the basic protocol. I was excited to be working with Jason Theobold as this was my first time with a diet coach since breaking with Beverly.
I will be even more dependent on Jason now because with gear you have a lot more leeway. Doing this strait up natural is a whole new ball game. I will see about prescribed HRT but beyond that I will be solely OTC supps which I have to say as I come up on 12 weeks clean I am still thumping along so I am thinking it must be the supplements as I am still 220# with abs and still doing 225# X 25 reps on incline. Still doing 20 chins and stacking all the machines in my gym and I still have good wood! J
The funny part is I used to say that natty BBing was like watching gasoline free drag racing…not real exciting! Looks like I will be eating my words! I can admit if I was an asshole about something and I guess I was. For that I apologize. Sorry!
I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life and in my competitive book of stories. I have not prepped for a show natural since 1992! Will I be a pathetic bag of atrophy? Shit I hope not but it is a possibility! It will be a mental challenge to be sure. I will have to rely on others to evaluate me, as I am sure my personal perception will be whacked out totally! I really look forward to this! It will be totally new and different!
