A long night.

Thank goodness that Dell’s new laptops are interchangeable when it comes to the power supply.  I am sitting here at the house just trying to figure out how I am going to make the money I need to so that my family can expand and also not ever want for money.  Somedays I think I just need to go ahead and get back into programming, but I get bored just typing out lines of code and it does not mean squat without doing it for one of the big companies.  Maybe I just need to finally finish my degree and go to work in an accounting department?  It is rather annoying trying to figure out what I want to do sometimes.  I know that I want to be a world class bodybuilder, but companies are not just handing out checks to nobodies.

Need to find something in life that will allow me to pursue what I want to do and make money at the same time.  Who knows I am just rambling tonight and I am exhausted.  My darling wife is asleep in the next room and I am just trying to figure out a way to make it so she can quit a job she hates and we can survive on just one income.  Hmmm I wonder what kind of second job I can get that will help out.  Brain is not really working right now, but hey it will come to me.

Ahhh to be Bruce Wayne.

Well weigh in went awesome. Officially down 4.25 lbs this week so I am really proud of that loss. Though I gotta keep going strong and just remember that the only person that can kill my goal is myself. So not going to let any mental blocks rock my losses and my muscle gain. Going to change things up a little and not actually list my routines anymore. Thinking that other people are trying to emulate my routines so no more. If ya’ll need a great trainer shoot me an email and I will hook you up with Jamie. He is a great coach and knows his stuff.

Did back routine today and really did not kill the weight, but I really let my lats stretch on everything and stressed the hell out of the contraction of the muscle. Diet is going well though I do miss a meal here and there since I started back to work finally. Gotta get better at getting all my meals in and not let things interrupt me even if it is 30 minutes later then need be. My body needs the prtein and what carbs I am allowed to eat through out the day. Thinking in the offseason I am going to create a recipe book (ebook) version for bodybuilders cause I know that our meals are so bland. I have a bunch of recipes in my mind and need to write them down. Who knows maybe I will be a famous book writer. That would be a cool thing, but I want to stay true to me and be a bodybuilder first and foremost.

I have to give a shout out to Evogen Nutrition and Hany Rambod. He is the Pro Creator for a reason and inventor of EVP and Cell KEM. You can check out his site at Evogen Nutrition.  The products he has created are the best pre and post workout supplements on the market today.  Also check out his other site FST-7.

Hope the team you want to win the Super Bowl (I am a Bears fan so I am routing for the Packers(my grandmother’s team) to win).

Countdown

February 3, 2011 — Leave a comment

Well the countdown is on to July 16th. I am down another 4lbs this week so I am doing pretty good, but official weigh in is Saturday so the only weight that counts is then. Weather outside is starting to get bad, but I have been able to do my workouts this week so far, but the today and Friday are supposed to get really bad for the Houston area.

I do have one complaint though and it is the meals. Fish, chicken or turkey for my proteins. Talk about bland and bland. I really need to develop recipes for my meals to add some flavor. Thinking of getting Chris Aceto’s recipe books he wrote with his wife. Other then that not much else is going on. Going to rename my blog though. I will be using it for other stuff then just bodybuilding.

An open letter to newbies in the gym

January 7, 2011 — Leave a comment

To all the new gym rats,

It is not that I don’t like having you in the gym because i think everyone should have a healthy lifestyle and workout. But I do have a couple of requests for you.

First if you are watching me workout and have questions I do not mind being interrupted to explain the movement and the mechanics behind it. But if I take 5-10 minutes to do that do not go back to where you were working out and still do the exercise wrong. It just pisses all of us off. Second if you don’t know how to use the equipment please for the good Lord’s sake ask someone before either you hurt yourself or you screw the equipment up. Also if you think you are a workout warrior 9 out of 10 times you really are not so please don’t try to lift a lot of weight. It only makes you look bad. Also if you need a spot then ask no one really has a problem helping out.

Also please don’t ask someone to help you design a workout for you and think it is going to be free. No one is going to do that. And lastly if you are just sitting on a piece of equipment staring at a good looking girl or guy then please move it is really annoying when a real gym rat is trying to work out.

Sincerely,
Me

And onto another subject. Workouts have gone good for the last two days and cardio on Monday and Tuesday. Totally changed up my workout and cardio days. Always remember that day 1 does not have to start on a monday. Mine starts on a wednesday. That is all for today.

Day 1

January 3, 2011 — Leave a comment

Well did cardio this morning on a stepmill. 50 minutes on the fat burn program kinda sucked, but I gotta get this body fat off fast so not going to think about it. Will do a 30 minute Zumba session also on the Wii. Always good to do different types of cardio.

My diet is straight forward. One meal of carbs and that is it. I get oatmeal at breakfast. So looking forward to July 17th. Then again it is really bad on your body to overload carbs right after a show so I will work up to a normal level of carbs over 2 weeks.

Also planning to take a nice vacation with my wife up to Tennessee so she can see all her friends and I can see all the spots she hung out and worked at. Never been to Nashville so I will try to find out from Nashville residents Flex Lewis or Brendan Curry where a good gym is located.

Well time to Zumba.

Early Morning Rantings

December 15, 2010 — Leave a comment

Well I really suck at posting everyday. I really need to become better at Wiley from the standpoint of keeping this as a training journal for me to look at. They smartphones are supposed to help us and I am using my WordPress app right now, but have no clue why I can’t just type things right after my workout.

Well starting today that all changes. If I want to become a great bodybuilder I will need to do the little things that greatness requires. I am tired of hearing that snicker in my families voices when they talk to me about competitions and if I am actually going to do it. Greatness is not something taken it is something that is earned. Bodybuilding greatness is earned through hard work and dedication to the little things.

Well the old Scott is dead and the new Scott is tired of the none believers. All the negative in my life is out the window. They say you have to be self centered to be in this sport, but I don’t believe that. I believe you have to be a little selfish, but if you keep positive people around you then you can do anything.

Alright time to try and get some sleep.

Workouts

Well I begin a new phase for my training. Mass on lower carbs is going to fun to try. I begin with legs today so I will post up that workout later today. I will be faithful in my journaling of my workouts and other thoughts of the day.
