Sounds like a good plan and you got time! Makes it nice to the wife is on board and supportive of your goals, awesome deal.
Definitely, I was completely open with her about what this was going to take and how big of a sacrifice it will be. I told her if she wasn't onboard with it then I simply would not do it. She is excited for me and really wants to see this competition go well. She remembers how frustrated I was when everything went awry for my first show. It was rough, on top of the bad peak week shrinking me and leaving me flat, I had massive home issues and was having to replace my flat roof by myself with the help of 2 13 year olds. So there was nothing but chaos the last several weeks leading up to the competition. It was just a really rough time.
Awesome man, I'm stoked for you! And who knows, a show down around Dallas I might even be able to swing a trip there to root for ya!
Man, that would be awesome!
Your plan makes a lot of sense, as far as if you win the first show either not doing the second or use it as a tuneup, and if you don’t win the first you have the second to fall back on to qualify. The biggest thing is your wife is all on board. With seven months to go you should really be in great condition at the rate you are going. It will be interesting to see how a top level coach approaches your gear and training. I’m sure he will probably have a short cruise in between two blasts, and that would give your body a chance to get primed again for the second blast going into the August show. I know having the actual shows in front of you now really has you pumped.
Oh yeah, it definitely adds to things. Last night I was just exhausted and things ended up to where I had to go to the gym to finish hamstrings and cardio when I got home. It took everything in me to get my ass back out the door and on the way to the gym not taking anything for energy because I didn't want to wreck my sleep. Knowing things were now even closer than before was a huge motivating factor in getting me moving. I opted to finish this week out with evening workouts. I don't want to burn the candle at both ends here by not getting to sleep until 11 and getting up at 3:30 to lift again. So, I slept in this morning which will make getting all meals in a little harder but I think it was the better option than exhausting myself and possibly having unproductive or less productive training the rest of the week.
I asked him to send me a list of compounds I would likely need for prep. Looks like the compounds in play will be
Sustanon, primo, mast p, winstrol, tren ace, halotestin, Adex, caber, nolva, and clenbuterol, then for orals, anadrol for early end of prep, and either anadrol or superdrol for peak week. I have plenty of SD so that won't be an issue.
I am curious why on the sustanon, I have heard over and over that it is not ideal for bodybuilding. Also, I have never even considered halo, I think I remembered seeing it was a big time aggression kind of thing. Going to have to look into it more now.

Oh yeah, by the way, I have some PIP in my right outer quad, the gear definitely crystalized in there and OUCH! It hurt all day yesterday with every step I took, but today it is on top of some quad DOMS, and oh boy is it fun! Hurts like hell to even pick my foot up. I have been massaging it, and hope it resolves quickly.
