Pumped and ready to go. I think I FINALLY stumbled on the cold hard facts about my body at the start of this month. For the past 6 months or so I've been constantly injuring myself which was keeping my out of the gym for long periods of time (once 3 months!!). I couldn't even walk normally with the back injury I had that entire time. I think all along it boiled down to overtraining. HIIT every weekday morning. Heavy lifting 3-4 times a week with crazy volume. Brazillian Jiu Jitsu twice a week. My body just couldn't handle it.

I'm going back to the tried and true method I used in 2006. Medium intensity cardio weekday mornings and Max-OT. Lift to failure but low volume.

Hmmm, I think I'm gonna have to work on the poses again too. Haha.

This time around I think I'm much bigger though and know exactly what I'm doing, so watch out!

Haha, finally caught up on what's going down on the site. I'll be sticking around now.

Trying to get friends to join but even the Brazillian Jiu Jitsu isn't enough to scare them into it. They rather "take private pictures" and do it on their own. Grrrr.

Did you tell your friends about the nearly $600 worth of cash and prizes that will be awarded to the winner in each division?

Good to have you back in the IMPC again bro; you're definitely one to watch out for.

'Twas pre-cash-prize era. I'll continue working on 'em with the new motivation.

Thanks!

Probably mainly due to two things:
a) Even when I was 245lbs I was pretty active. Running around, playing soccer, lifting weights. Just holding myself upright was a pretty good workout. Then as soon as I started losing weight I was eating a good diet and lifting legs heavy squats, etc.
b) As soon as I started lifting weights when I was 16 I'd do a leg day at least every week because the rest of me was so sore. Didn't always lift weights when I was that young but enough to improve. Never did the whole chest+biceps only thing.
