This past year I feel that I have evolved in may areas in and out of the gym. I have placed an emphasis to think outside of the box, enjoy all aspects of my training and most importantly I am rolling into my contest prep healthy and hungry. I would also like to thank everyone for all their help and support this past year. It has been an amazing journey that just keeps getting better each and every day and this is one reason I love what I do so much. With this I wanted to post a few training highlights from my 2011 offseason as a base for self improvement next year.
Now that 2011 has come and gone, it is time to press forward into 2012 with one huge goal on my mind....to improve and have fun!
Had a great one and here's how it went...
*Warm-ups excluded
Pullups- 3x15 / 2x10 (Pause at bottom)
Chambered BB Row- 3x10@315 / 1x15@
Reverse NG Pulldown- 4x10
Hammerstrength Pullover- 4x10
Since the first of the year is almost here and we are about to see a huge influx of new members at every gym across the USA. This is a great time to buckle down, focus on your goals and mentally prepare for the large crowd that is ahead in January. Always remember that at one point you were a beginner too and may have been more nervous than you remember at the start of this new adventure. Keep the intensity high and be aware of your surroundings, just because you are in Beastmode doesn't mean you have to disrespect others or make a mess. Take the frustration out on the weights!!

Also, I was able to meet up with Ty this past weekend for a great back workout.....It's been too long!!
Its crazy to think that a whole year of my offseason has flown by and I am starting to get that contest prep itch again. This entire year has been a great learning experience for me in many ways and I have really enjoyed the whole process. One thing I have discovered is that no one should place a limit on their progress. What I mean is you should always be open to changes and try to think outside of the box. So many people are close minded, especially when it comes to diet and fitness that they have already limited their progress without knowing any better. You are always right in your own mind, so it is up to you to keep it a learning process and evolve mentally as well as physically.
