5 weeks out from Collegiate Nationals

by: DannyStevens - June 16th, 2008
87Well, it's 7:00 AM and I've already done 40 minutes of cardio and have had my breakfast. Today, I have to go to school and get registered for classes. I got my food all packed and like a true champ, will be carrying my cooler with me. Once I'm done, it's to the gym for Bi's/Tri's/Abs and another 30 minutes of cardio. With less than 5 weeks to go, it's all on!!!

I feel flat, smooth and on my really low carb days, run down. But, at this point of the game, that's to be expected. Once I carb up and/or get a pump in the gym, I feel and look great! I've lost 23 lbs. so far in the past 7 weeks so I'm pleased. Cardio has been upped to 5 - 70 minute sessions and my carb at lunch is now removed. With the combination of AM/higher intensity cardio as well as the decrease in carbs, I should get closer to my target bf%.

Jr. Nationals is this weekend and I'm excited to be there! It will be a great opportunity for pics. as well as a good place to meet all kinds of people. Till then, train hard guys, I know I will :)

Pics. to come....

The way I see it, if you want something bad enough, suffering through it is not an issue :)

Thanks for the kind words Cindy, Brad and Bloodgroove. Brad, see you this weekend!

Don't the early morning's feel great haha, I've been on a 6am lifting schedule the past couple weeks, it's taken some getting used to but because i used to do it for months I'll get there.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great.
