Countdown is ON. 18 Days…
Hey San Antonio,
What a weekend… Lots of sunshine and things I love about Texas: the Hill Country, water, and just riding around in my Jeep with the doors and top off, smiling, burning the hell up. :D
After my first stint as a model last Friday night, I’m finding that I actually don’t mind wearing next to nothing in front of large crowds at all ;)! Much more enjoyable than bodybuilding, IMO. I’m now 18 days out from a swimsuit show (I’m the only guy in it, no thong, I swear).
The next 18 days will be challenging, but I’m ready. Intense lifting 3x per week, cardio 6 days per week (2 times per day on off days), and cutting carbs out (replacing them with healthy fats) very early in the day. I’m going to refeed at Day 9, so I should be getting good and cranky in a week and a half. Thank God for caffeine (and sleep). I stayed lean after my last show, so this prep will be much easier. The workouts, like all of my workouts, will be brutal. But I should go in at a very low level of body fat with all of my lean body mass preserved.
Making a drastic change in your body doesn’t have to be THIS intense. Sure, there are times when going hardcore (when you’re a few weeks out from being bare in front of a crowd) is necessary, but understand that I stay lean all year round, even when I’m focusing on adding muscle. It’s a lifestyle. It’s NOT the easy path, but what in life that is worth a damn is easy?
The body is adaptive and very resilient. It can take a beating and keep coming back. But killing one’s self isn’t the secret to changing. Progressing, working hard, and being disciplined are what you’ll need to change. Quality workouts (not quantity) are what will make you look the way you believe you can.
Never settle – if there’s something in life you want: the body, the job, the money, the girl, the car, the home, the security, the health, etc, you have to be willing to go and get it…
