So, it's ben awhile since my last post. On October 8th, my son was born, so I have been tending to a newborn and learning this whole parenthood thing! But I'm back on track. I only took 2 days off of my diet, per 3J's instructions. It was while my girl was in labor. After our son was born, I...

The goal weight right now is 300 lbs. as long as my body can hold it without any adverse side effects. I have asthma, so that is something we always have to watch. 3J preaches to watch my health at all times, he never wants to put anyone in danger. Which is one of the reasons the girl lets me do...

Yes, they are. Last year we really built a solid foundation to work off of. Now we are stepping it up and really packing on the mass. 3J believes, and I agree, that I need to add about 20-30 lbs. of muscle to get where I want to be.

There's a pump in the second pic. I had just finished doing my chest workout, and wanted to send 3J some progress pics. After seeing them, he switched my chest workout so that my chest can catch up to the rest of my body. The man knows what he's doing.

On Septmber 19, I weighed in at 253.0 lbs: I will also attach a spreadsheet that shows my bi-weekly measurements that I send to 3J so he can track my progress and keep me on the right path, but I need to figure out how first. :doh: As I said earlier, I will also post pics and stats every 2...

Last year in August I made the decision to start bodybuilding competitively. I knew I had a long way to go, so after some research I decided to hire 3J as my coach. I couldn't find any negative posts anywhere, and the price was more than reasonable. So last year at the end of August, we started...

You will not be disappointed!

Take a bottle of test, and a bottle of deca, and put them in the same syringe before injection. Now you have a mixed compound.

I was in the same position as you. I felt I had some knowledge, but I knew that if I was going to get where I wanted to go, I was going to need some help. So I did some research on this site, as well as a few others. Long story short, I've been working with 3J for exactly a year now. I just...

I understand the benefits of the creatine "bloat", and what it actually is. And while I appreciate the advice, I'm not asking about the benefits of creatine and it's purpose in a preworkout drink. I am merely looking for suggestions on preworkout drinks without it. That being said, thanks for...

I'm looking for some advice here. I'd like to find the absolute best pre-workout that has no creatine in it. I've recently used White Flood, as well as Superdrive, and while I like them, I still wonder if there is anything better out there? I still want to feel a great pump , I just don't want...

Thanks for the advice. I've been working with 3J for a year now, and he's been amazing getting me ready. It's going to be a lot of fun!

I have my first competition this Saturday. I'm hooked. It has been grueling, but well worth it. I love the feeling of accomplishment I've already gotten, and I haven't even stepped on stage yet.

PINN, I am very seriously contemplating making the move to grow and compete at the top levels. What are some of the things you thought about before taking the leap to get where you're at now?

Ok. We are 7 days out today. Had a strong week of lifting and cardio. I am noticing more and more vascularity every day. Can't wait to step on stage!
