Well my meal prep is done for the week when it comes to my lunches for work. I use Fairlife Pro Protein shakes for my other meals throughout the day. When you have type-2 diabetes and trying to get back into bodybuilding shape you have to watch everything that goes into your body even more.
Carbs while I miss them I get a little bit throughout the morning. I will every so often post up recipes I use for food and what the food looks like in the end. I hope y’all like it.
Well with the new year rolling in I thought I would start blogging again. I am going to try and make it a daily occurrence,but no guarantee. With the hard launch of my company RBM Business Holdings Inc. (http://www.rbmbusinessholdigsinc.com) and my want to return to the bodybuilding stage I figure it is a good time to get back at this to hold my own self accountable.
I am back with the greatest coach in the world Jamie Colgan and of course the best product line available in Evogen Nutrition. Once again we will navigate this crazy world and bring in a better package than I have ever had body wise. But it will take a lot to get it done. I know my wife isn’t crazy about the idea of bodybuilding, but it will help out my body and make my heart stronger than it ever was before my heart attack and surgery. So I will be posting my trials and tribulations here and as often as I can. Shoot I may just post up a thing saying having a good day, but I digress. I will see you as this crazy journey kicks off again.
Time to go eat to get my body going again!
Peace and love those around you!!
Welp it is time to begin the march towards 2021. This is when I will be participating in strongman again. Haven’t done a comp in almost 15 years, but I am going to do it again. Though I am going to do this a little different than I did before. Mainly I am not just going to eat whatever I can to put on 100 lbs and be fat and miserable. I am going to slowly drop weight (mostly bodyfat) and then begin to add back weight and try to compete around 285. Meals will rotate except for Meal 1. Most of the time it will always be the oatmeal. Every so often I will be adding eggs to that meal if it is the weekend.
Training will be a mix of simple movements like normal and strongman lifts also. I will post up my workouts in another blog today with some photos.
I have always been strong, but it is time to begin to get my real strength back. I will be posting training photos, training log and meal logs here on the site. So here is to the first day of everything. I am also doing a 12/12 intermittent fasting program for the next 6 weeks to help regulate my body.
Meal Log for today
Meal 1 1/2c of Oatmeal w/3 scoops of Axe&Sledge Farm Fed Protein and 1 TBSP of Natural Jif
Meal 2 10oz of 93/7 hamburger patty w/1 slice 2% cheese (no bread)
Meal 3 3 Scoops of Axe&Sledge Farm Fed Protein
Meal 4 (after workout) 12oz of Pork Loin w/ 1/2c of red potatoes and salad
Meal 5 Fairlife Core Power Protein Drink
Meal 6 12oz taco meat w/Net Carb tortillas (2), cheese and salsa.
We all have our falling off points in life. Mine has been stress felt at work over the past year. I will leave it at now that I have moved departments I am not feeling all the stress I was and have gotten back into a functional routine for the gym and my cardio. My meal plans have been going well and am enjoying them. It is a mix of different proteins and carbs.
I have started to use Y3T by Neil Hill and have enjoyed the routine so far. Tonight’s is a first in my weekly blogs and updates. Going forward while I may put my routine in here I will not be putting weights simply because what I lift and what others lift will always be different. So no need to put the weights in here. Hopefully the blog kicks off and people can use it for inspiration or just general knowledge on lifting etc.
Thanks,
Scott
I am going to start adding recipes to my blog every so often. I get some great ones from different friends. Hopefully you can use them in your meal planning for whatever shows or off season you are in.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place egg whites in a shallow bowl, and crushed cornflake crumbs, paprika and mixed herbs in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken into egg whites, then into cornflake crumbs.
Place dipped chicken on a baking tray coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through.

Well here we are again. Another week has passed and it is Sunday. Though I’ve enjoyed the morning of really not doing anything I have got to head put to lunch soon and then stop by Home Depot to get some dirt for the yard and then mow the grass today and other fun stuff in the yard.
Also have to finish creating the static page for NO-Xcusestraining.com!!! It is my trainer/mentors new online training site. Looking to get part of it launched this week!!!
Got the new workout routine and I already know what my diet is. Time to get my ludicrous speed on in regards to my show prep.
Well my diet has officially kicked in today and it is going well, but they always go well on the 1st day. It is when I get to the 8th week that is when I will know how much I really want this show. I am about to get a new gym home about 15 minutes from home so that will be awesome. They cater to bodybuilders (most of the owners are actual competitors). I will be making some changes to my workouts on top of my new keto diet. I will be going back to my go ole stand by HIT/FST-7 hybrid workouts. I will post them up when I get the chance.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a great New Years.
Sometimes the start of the week brings excitement, but lately for me it has been a rather hard thing. Not that I don’t want to go to work, but it seems like the weekend starts and then is over in a blink of the eye. But no matter who you are everyone looks forward to Wednesday since it signals that the work week is half over. Which honestly is really nice this week.
I’ve been rather blah lately and just have not been overly enthusiastic when I get up in the morning. Cardio is always done and if I am working out that evening my routine is planned and I have begun to visualize every exercise and rep I will do. Just need to find my small sliver of motivation for this week.
Well today was a good day for me. I truly feel like I took a step forward in my goal. Tomorrow though is another say I can derail myself.
I have cardio in the morning and then after work I have legs to end my “workout week”. Seeing as my day 1 falls on a Friday like I said in another post. Below is workout for today. Today was shoulders.
Side lateral raises 3×12,10,8
DB Presses 4×12,12,10,8
Front raises 3×12,10,8
Machine presses 7×12
Rear db raises 3×12,10,8
Reverse pec dec 3×12,12,10
High pulls 7×12
Side shrugs 7×12 (traps get a lot of work in other bodyparts so I just do 7’s)
Alright time for bed.
To say I hate Monday mornings is an understatement. Though my wife hates them more. It is the start to the work week and also it is the ending of my workout week.
Thats right my day one for workouts is actually Friday. If you follow the work week that is great, but sometimes things don’t always go your way and you have to modify the schedule. Plus I enjoy having a different schedule. I still follow a 2 day on 1 off (I will normally take 2 days off in a row to recover between legs and back). My off days are Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday. I still do cardio those days, but I always appreciate my days off.
Well time to finish getting ready for work.
