I am back and just kidding about leaving gym nation for good. Yesterday was a short arms session with my trainer and the session was 

ezy bar curls 3x8 39kg,39kg,39kg

super set

skull crushers 3x8 same weight as ezy bar curls

biceps cable curls three drop sets can't remember the weight

triceps cable push down three drop sets can't remember the weight

After my trainer and were training arms spent some time working on my routine and added a classic Arnold pose in as well.Since I am eight weeks out I am going to ditch my weekly cheat meals and eat clean for the rest of my prep. I was thinking yesterday since my new trainer charges 60 dollars session which is forty more then my old trainer . I think be best to see my trainer every second fornight instead of weekly what I was doing with my old trainer to smoke things cheaper for me cost wise.Got a free tub of inner armour ISO whey and creatine after a member dropped off lots of diffrent supps at the gym yesterday and in other news snap fitness Dunedin now as bicep blaster which arrived yesterday.  Did 20 minutes of cardio on fat burn mode. Engery levels felt good yesterday and didn't feel tried or grumpy later on in the day.

Manged well yesterday when I went into town and seeing people having sausage sizzles in diffrent parts of town because of the all blacks vs England test. Thought that kind of food can be classed as off season food. Saw diffrent food outlets set up in the octagon thought I best to stay while away from them since I will be eating clean for the rest of my prep. Not to sure if I have mention this or not in my journal I like the taste of the nurtra life vitamin c that I bought off sportsfule . Taste reminds of a orange.

well done

Thanks fng overall had a good session and 18 more cardio sessions until game day

Session was good this morning and flelt doing close grip t bar row instead of doing one arm t bar row. Engery levels were a bit average today being a low carb today . Had to have a extra strong black coffee with my lunch and afternoon tea to help keep wake. Got told by one of my co workers to mantain my weight that iam at now. Thought that's hard to do given that I am carb cycling and what ever.

Got to the gym just before  half past nine after I watched the England vs Uruguary  game this morning . Had a good session also watched some of the japan vs Greece game which I thought was a bit average . Stopped off at new world on the way to work to pick a new jar of magaziume and zinc after I counted the tablets that I had left which was 39 tablets or three and half weeks left. Was feeling the cold today at work since I work in a old building and was thinking I wish I was at home where it is war but had to work hard to keep warm by working hard.

Hey Gymrat I have trouble keeping warm in Auckland must be a lot harder in Dunedin.

i wear multiple layers of clothes so I keep warm it's really important to not get cold when your body fat level is down.

Keep on working at it only 7 weeks left now, so close!

Last night made my booking  to get my first coat of spary  tan at rubby wax on Victoria St when I arrive in Aucks on the 8th.Got a email from them this morning saying that my booking is confired at 3:30.Thinking of taking the Friday before I fly up to Auckland .Which will give me plenty of time to get waxed.So I wont have to make the made dash from the beauty place to work plus I learnt from last year it made things a bit crazy plus I had many thoughts running through my mind like I hope I am not in the crap house with my boss for being late.Speaking of waxing yesterday was telling one of my co workers about getting waxed and the co worker that I was talking to thought that must be painful.Will be seeing the Million dollar arm today.Before I went into Railto Dunedin to get my ticket.Popcorn etc that can be classed as off season food.

Hey Rebel Yes it can be hard at times by keeping warm in Dunedin when it is cold and while I am cutting.Must not be so bad for cutting up in Auckland since it is warmer up there.Thanks for your support.

Clearly you are doing a good job in your comp prep because you are feeling the way you are.

Do not worry about what people say, you are feeling frustrated because the diet is impacting on your patience. At the end of the day all you need to do is keep doing what you are doing and keep to yourself.

If u were feeling any other way the diet is too easy, keep at it you are doing fine
