81I still haven't started my diet yet. Justin didn't feel the need yet, and so he kept me on the all high days with cheat meals for this week. It's the first week I feel like my muscle glycogen stores are filled up. I must have been flatter then I though. I feel like Snuffleupagus right now, but things will change soon.

I did legs yesterday. It was the kind of workout that I won't be doing much longer with long rest periods and heavy weight. We did Extensions, Squats, Walking Lunges, and Leg Curls. By the end of the workout I was pastie white and ready to puke. It was a great workout, but I paid for it in the end. Today I feel like an elderly man walking and wishing I had a handicap parking sticker. These are the workouts I'll always remember.

I have had those types of workouts on leg days that I had to stop and puke after squats and thats all I did because I was so sore afterwards and pushed harder then usual LOL.

Keep up the awesome work Joe. :)

Thanks for the update, Joe. I will be looking forward to following your contest prep and diet strategy. After leg day I have often been asked by my kids, "Hey dad, why you walking so funny?" My wife doesn't even ask anymore she just shakes her head...I try to get a sympathy hamstring/glute/quad massage out of her, but that doesn't always work...she must think I have ulterior motives. LOL
