7 weeks out NPC Nationals

by: Brad Davis - October 7th, 2008

weight this week had been 214-213 and im starting to really harden up, my traps are striating and I just have those stubborn areas to get at now, like hams, glutes, lower back, and obliques. Im def. leaner at 7 weeks this year than i was at 7 weeks last year.. a lot leaner, so i should be coming into Atlanta at my best conditioning to date. Diet and cardio has been a breeze, I guess im so focused that i just don't feel the suffering :)
I have gotten a chance this week to see a couple of other guys getting ready for nationals like steve kuclo who posted some pics over at MD and Darrel Terrel who will be in my weight class just posted some pics. Darrel is leaner than i am but he did just get finished with doing the north americans so i would expect nothing less plus he's about 5 lbs lighter than i am right now, but physique wise im ready to stand next to whoever! the next 7 weeks for me is just about conditioning and thats it, there aren't many guys in the NPC in the light heavy's thats going to outmuscle me thats for sure, but i gotta be sharp as a razor to stand in this lineup thats coming into Atlanta, so the next 7 weeks will be grind time, and time to really push things to come in sharp for this show. Its ON and POPPIN baby!
