Excerpt from the Diary of a Pissed Off Bodybuilder

Help me help you

I need volunteers. I’m currently training 8 people (2 of them aren’t paying cuz I practically begged to train them. One is as strict and determined as shit, and the other is a genetic freak… the rest are the kind of people who call me to say “I didn’t buy any chicken last week so I ate at quizno’s… is that fine?”… that’s why I had to charge)… anyway, I need more people… dedicated and strict people. I only need 5 more people… male, female, dog, it doesn’t matter… aham shay, I need people with goals and with a bit of experience in the gym. I don’t want someone who’s 30% fat and never walked on a treadmill, and I don’t want someone who’s been training for 15 years that’s prepping for a contest… I need normal people who go to the gym, lift weights, and do cardio. I’m offering 12 weeks of training for free… if you’re strict… I will stop training you for free if you keep on slipping up. All you need to do is add me to your yahoo messenger… then I’ll start bugging the shit out of you making sure you eat on time and you don’t miss training sessions. 12 weeks is more than enough time for a full body transformation, but you have to work hard for it. I don’t want to see any pm’s saying “I was too busy to eat at work”, “we don’t have a microwave at the office”, “I had to work late hours”, or any of that crap. I want serious people here… just to give you an idea, here’s the food on the menu that you can choose from

Protein:
Lean beef
Chicken breasts
Eggs
Tuna
Whey
Casein
Milk
Liquid aminos
Cheese

Carbs:
Oats
Potatoes
Whole wheat bread
Fruits
Veggies
Glucose
Vitargo

Fats:
Peanut butter
Olive oil
Fish oil
Flax seed oil
Nuts

You will have to cook your own food. You need a foreman grill for the beef… other crap, you can cook with pots and pans and regular shit you should have at home. If you can’t take your food to work with you, buy some fucking shaker bottles and spend some cash on casein, whey, and liquid aminos cuz you’re taking those with you. You will also need some supplements, but I’ll tell you what you need when I talk to you. This shit aint for pussies… I want before and after pics… if you’re serious, your own jaw will drop when you see the difference.
I need people like shono and Bandar… Bandar would eat hay if I told him to, and he’s an animal in the gym… I walked in on shono in his house a couple of days ago and he was eating his eggs… good boy, shono. Good boy… I want people like those two.
If you’re interested… add me to your yahoo messenger… bu_selmo@yahoo.com … I’m usually there from 7 pm to 10 pm Saudi time (GMT+3)…

It’s weird how some people think

I was training at the gym yesterday and I met a friend I haven’t seen in a while. We were talking between sets and asked me what my goal was right now. I told him that I just wanted to get leaner cuz I hate being fat and I wanted my contest prep to be something like 3 weeks instead of 16. So he asked if I was gonna compete any time soon. I said no… I’m just doing it for myself. He said: “yeah… right… for yourself… who are you kidding, man? Are you going on vacation soon?” I said: “no… not til august” so he said: “why didn’t you say so in the first place? You wanna look good for the ladies”… I said: “dude… you know I’m fucking married… the only person I need to impress is my wife… again, I’m doing this because I hate being fat.” He said: “yeah, whatever. Look, there’s nothing called you’re doing it for yourself. you either do it to impress women, or you don’t do it at all. Don’t kid yourself.” … I just stopped talking to him after that and kept on lifting.
Seriously, is there anyone out there that thinks this way? I mean, do you really believe that no one does anything for “themselves”? and it’s all just to impress women? Because, really, if you want to impress women, bodybuilding aint the way to go. I have seen more fat, disgusting, rude, obnoxious, and filthy men attract women more than any bodybuilder has. All it takes is money and self confidence. You can be the ugliest, most obnoxious, fattest fucker in town… if you have shitloads of money… you’ll get women. Sorry if this offends some women… but I’m talking about the ones you see everyday. Personally, I was never any good with the ladies… hell, I don’t even see what my wife likes about me. But I know people who are really good with the ladies… and damn… some of them… well, most of them are just fucking as obnoxious as shit! A lot of them aren’t even slightly good looking… and well, I don’t mean to sound like an ass, but Saudis weren’t blessed with the best bodies. Yet they still manage to hook up with a shitload of women. All it takes is expensive clothes and a really expensive car. Maybe it’s just me… I don’t know.. but the point is… if you’re into bodybuilding just to impress women, stop it. You’re in the wrong neighborhood. ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO IMPRESS SAUDI WOMEN!!! YOU’RE WAY OFF!!

Update

Well, I’ve been fighting an uphill battle for the past 5 years and it aint getting any easier. The size game is just not for me. I’m up to way too many calories and I just feel like I’m gonna puke all day long. My stomach was so distended, I thought I was pregnant. My waste blew out of control and I don’t like it one bit. So, it’s time to throw in the towel regarding the size game (well, atleast for the next 3 months) and it’s time to get shredded… I’ve competed twice and I’ve never showed up being lean enough. It’s time to change that. I’ve been dieting down since Saturday, but my weight has went up a bit and I’m getting leaner (THANK YOU, PHIL!!). So, yeah… I think I’m sick of bulking and shit and I just want to get shredded… I have 8 months to do it… I think that’s more than enough time. I took some pictures last Thursday and I tipped the scale in the morning with an empty stomach at 209 lbs. My symmetry can’t get any worse, but that’s what I have to work with. Wish me luck!

Excerpts from the Diary of a Pissed Off Bodybuilder

God works in mysterious ways

First of all, I would like to clarify that what I’m about to say has nothing to do with our religion itself, but it’s about what people fabricated and blended into our religion. I know that this is a very delicate subject and I have to watch what I say. I don’t mean to offend anyone’s beliefs by what I say, but just know that this is my personal opinion and nothing in our religion implies that what I’m about to say is “heresy”.
I don’t like to make fun of other people’s beliefs, or doubt them. Because what you believe in will either cure you, or curse you. Personally, I deal with logic and rational thinking. I believe that there are certain anomalies that happen from time to time that remind us that there is a higher power we have to answer to. But to think that god interacts in obvious ways with humans is just plain irrational. What am I getting to? I’ll tell you. But first I have to state this… I believe, without a doubt, that allah is the one true God and that islam is the religion God wants us to follow. Now, I do not need to witness any “abnormality” to believe that. Sadly, a lot of people do. And that’s why they believe. What am I talking about? I’m talking about things like interactions with spirits (lets call them jin for the time being). Things like believing that writing some verses from the quran, dipping them in water and drinking it would cure some disease. Stuff like black magic and what not. This isn’t Harry fucking Potter. Yes, the quran has powers… but they aren’t direct. It’s psychological. Bring someone who doesn’t know how to read the quran correctly and let him read… your teeth will grind… bring someone who knows how to read it and has a nice voice, and you’ll feel like the weight of the world dropped off your shoulders. Many diseases we face are psychological… sometimes you get severe pains in your body for no reason, and doctors can’t diagnose you with a thing… why? It’s psychological. Bring a shaikh that knows how to read the quran, believe that the quran can cure you, believe in the shaikh… BAM! You’re cured. When I say this to people, they tell me that it’s haram to say that. Prove to me it’s haram. They say that the quran has special powers and god said so. Yes, God did say that. Curing a psychological disease is a special power. Explain this to me… how come some people can take their psychologically induced pain away by listening to classical music?
I’ve heard way too many stories about curing real diseases with the quran… I’ve never seen a case… but I’ve heard many. Stories like this:
- doctors gave up on a patient with liver failure from drinking too much… he lost all hope and repented. He went to hajj, drank from zam zam water, and started coughing until he puked some black matter. He went back to the doctors and they told him he was “miraculously” cured.
- A guy got bit by a scorpion… he was about to die and doctors couldn’t help him (I guess they don’t have anti-venom… yeah.. sure) his friend knows combinations of verses from the quran that are said to cure scorpion poisoning… put his hand on the victim… read the verses… and poison started splashing out of the wound.
- Ofcourse, we all know about “jin” and what they can do or whatever… and any relationship gone bad is because someone put a spell on the couple

I have heard of all of this and more… never seen it in my life… I bet I’ll never see it too… and you always have a friend that has an uncle that knows someone whose barber’s son in law’s aunt has seen this stuff. I’m sorry to tell you this… but God doesn’t work in obvious ways… if it were obvious like that, you’d have to be extremely stupid and severely retarded not to be a muslim.
The quran mentioned that its words are a cure for people… However, it didn’t mention that you have to mix onions, garlic, black seed (I don’t know what it’s called in English), honey, rose water and other crap to cure a certain ailment. It did not mention that if you had “work done on you” (that’s what we say to describe someone who has been affected by magic) you have to call upon a spirit, drop shit in water, drink weird shit, and burry the materials that cursed you in the bottom of the sea or burn them. Who came up with this stuff? And how did he come to the conclusion that this would work? What? Trial and error?

Jin… my wife is deathly afraid of jin… I seriously don’t give a rat’s ass. I believe in jin. I believe they exist… but they exist in another realm and they don’t interact with human beings. The stories I hear are childish to say the least. All of them are inconsistent. The stories I hear about possession? Open up a psychology book… open the section on schizophrenia. This is where people start saying “well how do you know schizophrenia isn’t caused by possession?”… because they have drugs for fucking schizophrenia, that’s why. And why the hell would they want to possess us? Our lives suck anyway. I mean… you hear about jin… they can travel at the speed of light… they can morph… they’re made out of fire… HOW COOL IS THAT? WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO LOOK LIKE A FAT ASS AND SCARE PEOPLE?
Moving on to a similar “character”… jathoom… you know… when you wake up at night and you can’t move… you feel like someone’s holding you down… and you get scared shitless? Funny how one of my friends really believed in it until he read the research that explains exactly what it is. Then he stopped believing in stuff like that. I have the research in my email, if you want I could pull it out. It was done by a team of German sleep specialists or something… you know.. the guys that hook you up to the computer and make you sleep… most boring job on earth… but I bet patients have fun… you just sleep… anyway… since arabs said “it’s jathoom… case closed” and didn’t do anything about it… we had to rely on Germans… anyway… basically, from what I understood from the research… it’s your eyes waking up before your body. It rarely happens. You can’t move because your body is still asleep. But you can see and comprehend the shit around you. If you don’t want to believe that, it’s up to you.

Again, when I say this stuff to other people, they say “well how do you explain prophets talking to jin… talking to animals and ants… curing the blind…”… they are prophets. God blessed them with miracles. They were chosen by God. NO ONE ELSE HAS THEIR POWERS!!! Can you cure the blind? No? well then, shut the hell up. I have no doubt that prophets can perform miracles. Normal human beings, however, can’t. So, do not try to explain something that “you saw happen” in our time to something that happened to a prophet.

Izzibda, I will not believe in interactions with jin until you bring one infront of me and let me talk to him… I will not believe in magic (the way they say it is performed today) until you bring an “authentic” sorcerer and let him put an OBVIOUS spell on me, not something like “this spell will give you a certain disease” or “this spell will cause marital problems”… no, that happens to everyone… I want something like “you will puke frogs”… something like that to make me believe.

My wife believes in this stuff… and I will never try to change that… in fact, sometimes it’s a blessing in disguise to believe in it. But me… my mind can’t comprehend it.

I’m sorry if I offended anyone by this… but I’ve been listening to a lot of these stories lately and I just had to say what I think about it.

Excerpts from the Diary of a Pissed Off Bodybuilder

Take care of one, first. Then worry about the other 3

I was having a little chat with a guy at work with a very popular last name. If you’re Saudi, you’d probably know the name I’m talking about when I tell you that it’s mentioned in a lot of jokes where people with that name always come up with diabolical schemes to make people’s lives harder. Anyway, we got to talking about how there’s an alarming increase in the number of single Saudi women over the age of 25. This is what he said: “you know what the problem is? Men don’t marry enough women. In our family, we don’t have that kind of problem because around 20-30% of the men have 4 wives. Most of the others have atleast 2. Hell, I have only one wife and all my relatives think that there’s something wrong with me for not marrying a second wife. The solution is for men to marry more women.” Of course, I had the “WTF” look on my face after hearing that. I told him that that’s not even close to being a solution. Yes, our religion allows men to marry up to four wives. But god also said that if you can’t treat them justly, only marry one woman. Of course, since we’re men, we just skip the second part and say “GOD SAID YOU CAN MARRY FOUR WOMEN!! DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT GOD SAID??” back to the conversation I had with this guy… he went on to say that he knows plenty of men that treat their wives justly. I asked him what his definition of being just was. He said: “They bought their wives small houses to live in, they buy them food, have children, let them raise and take care of the children for them… what more do they want? I know this one guy, he’s a millionaire, and he’s Bedouin. Every day he sits in his real estate office til around 4, goes and picks up one of his wives and drives her to his tent in the desert, she cooks him dinner, they have sex, then he takes her back and picks up another wife the next day… see, he treats them equally.” … again, I had the “WTF” look on my face. I gave it to him straight… I said “so, basically it’s legal prostitution… right?” the guy got furious… “NO!! THIS IS HALAL!! And they’re doing the community a favor by taking care of these women.” Then the conversation went like this:

Me: “how many children does he have”
Him: “I don’t know… around 20”
Me: “does he know their names?”
Him: “probably not… he doesn’t have to.”
Me: “why doesn’t he?”
Him: “the women should take care of them… that’s their job.”
Me: “so, basically he pays these women money to take care of the kids… and his job is to just sleep with the women, and then he pays them.”
Him: “no… he takes care of them”
Me: “how? Other than sleeping with them and paying them”
Him: “I told you, he takes them to the desert and he lets them cook for him”

I just lost it there…
Of course, he then brought up the very famous bogus statistic by a guy that writes in a local paper. The guy in the paper has the same idea “to solve the problem of too many adult single females in Saudi, one should marry four wives”… this guy pulled a statistic out of his ass and said that the ratio of women to me in Saudi is 7 to 1… BULLSHIT!!! Go search for a statistic from the United Nations website on the ratio of females to males in Saudi… my brother sent it to me once and it was (I think) 1.3 to 1.1 … basically, there are as many females in Saudi Arabia as there are males. Then why are we having this problem in our society? … well, here’s my opinion:
1- Men are terrified of marriage these days because they have the impression of Saudi women being freedom taking, money guzzling bitches that only nag and complain about not having enough money
2- A lot of Saudi women are freedom taking money guzzling bitches that only nag and complain about not having enough money
3- Men have this idea that marriage = lots of kids + being bankrupt + no more social life + no more traveling to fun places
4- A lot of women have the idea of marriage = All the things your parents didn’t buy for you + driver to go wherever you want + maid, nanny, and cook to take care of everything + infinite money in your bank account + doing whatever the fuck you want
5- Most women think that an affordable mahr (I forgot what’s it’s called in English, but it’s like a… say… marriage down paymen.. lol!) is an insult and it belittles them.
6- Most men think that the mahr, wedding, and apartment will cost 17.238 million riyals.
7- SOME WOMEN JUST DON’T WANT TO GET FUCKING MARRIED AND THAT’S FINE!!! DON’T PRESSURE THEM!!!
8- SOME MEN JUST DON’T WANT TO GET FUCKING MARRIED AND THAT’S FINE!!! DON’T PRESSURE THEM!!!

I said it once, and I’ll say it a million times cuz this shit is getting on my nerves. Women! Don’t create this image of the perfect man you want to marry. He doesn’t exist. Men are human beings, you know. Look for someone who will love you for who you are and will do anything for you. He’ll make mistakes, but who cares. As long as he loves you, treats you right, and doesn’t cheat or fool around, he’s ok. If you’re looking for money and nothing more… prostitution is the answer. No offense, but that’s what prostitution is… having paid sex. Money will never buy love… and without love, you’ll never know what it means to be happy.

Men… same thing goes for you… if you want marriage for the sex and food (sadly, that’s what I’ve heard from most of the people that work here), then get a whore and buy some cheeseburgers from mc d’s. You are supposed to be a man. Take care of your woman, love her, spoil her… and spoiling does not mean spending your paycheck on her… that’s how you spoil strippers… you throw 1 dollar bills on’em… spoil her by doing something romantic for her, always tell her how much you lover her, make her feel special… In our culture, we always say that the man should be the one taking care of the house… TAKING CARE DOESN’T MEAN YOU JUST HAVE TO PAY THE BILLS!!! You have to take care of who’s inside that house… not by buying them food, clothes, and shit they don’t need… take care of them by making them feel happy.

Once again… who the fuck am I to give advice anyway??!

It’s our nature

Well, I only have around 1 week left in this shit hole and then I’m off to another assignment. God knows where they’re gonna throw my ass. Anyway, this place sucks ass. I’ve learned during my stay here that the main objective of little engineers like myself is to sugar coat all the bad stuff. So, when upper management sees the results, they’re happy… even if those results aren’t even close to reality. Instead of letting management know that we’re basically fucked and we need a new plan, we just forge all the shit we do and say “look! We’re in good condition!!” how the fuck would you expect us to solve the problem? I asked this question, and basically the lower chain of management (my boss) hated my guts. Now, I’m going through absolute hell because I asked a question that might help the company. You know the saying “if it aint broke, don’t fix it”? yeah, we have another saying… “if it’s broken, try kicking it… and if management comes over, use super glue”… let’s take this for example… the efficiency in an area I’m involved in is 20% because we’re depending on idiots… we have things that can be done remotely and the equipment is busted and no one wants to fix it… because, basically we don’t know how… so, we have to do the shit manually… which takes A LONG ASS TIME… what can be done in a month takes around 4-5 months to do manually… so, what do we do? We forge shit and kick efficiency up on paper to 80%... so when management sees it, it’s all fine. If we tell them that the efficiency is 20%... action will be taken to fix the shit… but nooooooooooooo… we can’t do that… cuz they’ll blame lower management first, then fix the problem… of course, lower management doesn’t want to get shit, so they just lie… and in the end… I get fucked and people say I’m not doing my job…. Heh… don’t do my job… I sometimes have to work from 6 am to 6 pm without fucking over time and they tell me that I’m not doing my job? I figure shit out on my own because no one wants to teach me fearing that I’ll do a better job than they do, and I’m not doing my job? I lose 2 hours a day driving to and from work not getting shit for the damage done to my car from the roads and the gas I burn, and I’m not doing my job?
Selling drugs would be a much more respectable job… and the pay aint that bad…

Madea goes to jail

Did you see that? Man!! That shit’s funny!!! It’s kind of a play, which was weird at first… then you just start laughing til your ribs hurt!! Man, you have to watch that shit!

The toy at McDonald’s

That.. is… the coolest toy I’ve ever seen!!! Order a happy meal if you’re in shargiya… that shits cooooooool!!!! “TAAANA… HANAHANAHAAA NANA… TAAANA!!” loooooooooooooool!!!!!!

I’m out!!!!

Excerpts from the Diary of a Pissed Off Bodybuilder

B.G.S.

You see it every day. From top level professional bodybuilders, to the fat ass on the street. Yes, I’m talking about Big Gut Syndrome (BGS). You often find a lot of people developing a huge gut that sticks out like a sore thumb… sore thumb? What the fuck!? It’s a huge gut for god’s sake!!! But what’s the difference between a big gut, and a fat stomach? There are countless “theories” about this. Personally, I believe it’s the location of the fat itself. Sometimes you see a guy with a 45 inch waist and very little fat on his belly. In my opinion, this is caused by fat being stored beneath the muscle itself and around the internal organs. The culprit? INSULIN!!! That’s right. Insulin is a highly anabolic hormone… anabolic to both muscle and fat tissue. It seems that if insulin is spiked throughout the day while fat is being stored, it will most likely be stored between your organs. A lot of professional bodybuilders use a very high dose of insulin leading to a contest (this is all speculation… no one knows exactly what they do… but obviously, it’s working)… they get ripped to shreds on the outside… but they still have a humongous gut! I truly believe it’s because they cannot burn visceral fat (fat packed between your organs) while using large amounts of insulin. Moving on to the common fat ass… let’s look at someone that went from a candy-soda-fried food diet to the atkins diet, where they limit carbohydrate intake. The first thing they notice is that they’re waist size dramatically decreases over the course of a few days or weeks, although there’s no noticeable decrease in BF %. Why? Well, they got rid of the carbs, so basically they got rid of insulin. They most likely tapped into the visceral fat stores first. To me, that makes perfect sense. Lately, I’ve switched almost all of my carbohydrate sources to low GI mostly complex carbohydrates. Mind you, my carbohydrate intake is very high. Although I’ve accumulated some fat on my lower back and abs, my waist size stayed the same and my gut isn’t protruding as much. So, I’ve concluded that by keeping insulin secretion under control by using low GI carbohydrates, you can limit visceral fat storage. Remember, this is only speculation and it’s not based on any scientific evidence. Because when it comes to fat loss, scientific evidence sucks ass.

Women… they never seize to amaze me

This must go down in history as the dumbest thing ever said by anyone!!! My wife came back from work one day and she told me about a little chat she had with her co-worker. I seriously could not believe that there could be someone that stupid. Here’s what my wife’s co-worker said “you have to wear sports shoes if you want to work out or walk… because I read in a magazine that you don’t burn any calories or fat if you wear regular shoes or sneakers… you have to wear sports shoes.” …
I mean, I know men come up with stupid shit all the time… hell, 99% of what I say outside the world of “diet and fitness and shit” is stupid. But women… DAMN!!! Come on!!! Stop reading those stupid magazines that say “you’ll find true love this week if you’re a torus”, or “psychologists found out in a recent study that women who shave their legs 3 times a week are most likely gonna end up in a happy marriage”… those magazines are full of bullshit!!! They’re even worse than bodybuilding magz!

Music and music videos

… what is this world coming to? Seriously, all the beats sound the same to me… the lyrics are all the same… I could turn on the radio and sing along with the shit they play and not even know the song… it’s pathetic… I mean, I’m a rock fan… real rock, not that stupid “my chemical romance” or “pink” kind of rock… I’m talking about black label society, slipknot, pantera, the old old old metallica, disturbed, non-point, ill Niño, stone sour, tool, the old korn… what ever happened to that shit? They don’t sell… and I’ll tell you why… they don’t have asses shaking on music videos… they don’t raise a huge gold and diamond chain to the camera man and keep pointing at it… they don’t talk about how they bust a cap in someone’s ass (I know, I’m old… no one says that anymore… I’m old :( )… my wife loves watching MTV… I hate that shit cuz they don’t play any of the songs I like. And what the fuck does fergalicious mean? What the hell is this London bridge shit? Talking about smacking that right on the floor or whatever… it’s ridiculous! Music videos have turned into softcore porn!! I mean, if it were porn I’d have no problem with it, cuz you’d expect naked people banging the shit out of each other… but, in a music video, I want to see bands playing live, or in a studio, or a nice video that explains the song… or just freaky animation like tool’s videos… but to see half naked bitches on chairs singing about shit no one cares about called “the pussy cat dolls” or whatever… that’s just stupid… but nonetheless, they give horny viewers what they want… go out and buy porn… it cuts straight to the chase…

Excerpts from the Diary of a Pissed Off Bodybuilder

First of all

Someone asked about where to get glutamine from in the comments section. I can’t reply from work cuz they blocked the damn comment page… sooooooooooo… You can buy glutamine powder from any GNC store here in Saudi. If you’re in the eastern province, you can get it a lot cheaper from Bahrain. The cheapest and best solution is to order online. I hope that helps.

As for not updating the blog, they blocked the damned blogger site at work… and you know that's where I'm most pissed off and write about crap that no one cares about… so from now on, I'll just write it up on word then post it at home… if I remember…

When I was young, I was like you

We all know that person, either at the gym, at work, or fucking anywhere you go. A guy at work, probably 5’5 or 5’4 weighing 260 lbs at atleast 40% body fat with atleast a 50 inch waist said this to me: “man, I remember back in college I used to work out. In about 3 months I had a six-pack, my arms were a bit bigger than yours and I got really big. I had to quit training because of studying and stuff and all my muscles turned into fat. If I wanted to, I could start working out again and in a couple of months, I’ll look better than you.” … I really didn’t know why this guy was lying his ass off… is it because he wants to tell us that he’d be better than everyone if he tried (a couple of guys were standing with us when he said that), or is it because he wants me to think that what I do doesn’t really take hard work to accomplish… I don’t know… that doesn’t bother me… what bothers me is why god gave this obese midget the ability of perceiving himself as someone with a great body, and gave me the exact opposite perception? (yes, I know, it’s probably a disorder of some kind. But when I look at myself, I don’t even feel like I’ve ever lifted a weight in my life. Eh, I guess it makes me work harder). WHY CAN’T I HAVE THE FUCKING PIECE OF MIND THIS GUY HAS ABOUT HIS BODY???? …. Ahh… who cares.

Good for shitting, literally

Psyllium Husks… Seriously, if you want a clean colon, regular trips to the bathroom without ESS (Exploding Shit Syndrome), and get rid of bloat, you should use this stuff. 10-15 grams a day.

Man!!!

I need a vacation… seriously, I haven’t been on a real vacation since… SINCE FUCKING LAST YEAR!!! I only took 10 days off in ramadhan, and 3 days off before the contest… crap… I need sleep…

New diet for another contest

There’s another contest coming up in 8 weeks. I don’t know if I’m gonna go through with it, cuz I’m going to be transferred to another department in 4 weeks and I don’t know where the hell I’m going to be assigned. So, I decided that I’m gonna prep for this one and see how shit goes. I’ve talked to Phil about it and I told him that I want to do it my way, since it’s not the contest we’ve agreed he’d prep me for. He was cool with it as long as I kept him updated. Sooooooo, since this is my own prep, I can tell you exactly what I’ll do. I’ve started Saturday, weighing 205 lbs at around 10-12% fat. I don’t mind losing muscle for this one… cuz basically, I have to if I’m going to compete in light-heavies again (187 lb cut off). Last time I weighed in at 183 lbs according to the scale at the contest… so, basically I have 18-22 lbs to lose.
