[Realtalk]

Hey GymRat I have a question for you bro. Can I ask it please?

[Realtalk]

In gonna ask it anyway, dunno bout your one bro but my MHSC (mental health support councillor) says it's best to just get things out in the open, so I'm gonna help you out...

how much money do you have??

also if you had of played it cool and said to bibby senior (aka daddy) that you had no dollars he mighta flicked you a few bucks and you'd be a richer man.

Session was good and was surprised to see sweat dripping from my forehead since it was 17 in Dunedin . Which I thought was very strange for this time of year. Been trying to figure out why I have been feeling like dirt for the past few days.  Thought today I know one of the reasons is it is not the diet since I am more food this time around unlike compare to last year which was hard going at times and making me feel pissed off for no reason plus making me feel wacked in the head as well.

Thought this morning when I got up. I best to see one of the other trainers at snap to help me with the rest of perp for the pans. Since my trainer that I have at present is unable to help me to do his injury. Emailed one of the other trainers at snap to see if they can help me and asked about the cost that they charge per session. Feeling a bit better today and starting to feel a bit happy as well and not down in the dumps.

Before I trained had my first session with my new trainer and got skin folds taken which came to 9% body fat ,85kg as well. My new trainer took me through the arms session which I posted . Notice during the session made things go by quicker instead of doing high volume training which I have been doing for my prep . Got a couple of changes made to my diet and I am going to say one of them but keep the other one private. I can now have two high carb days which will make things a bit more easy for me compare to before . When I was finding things a bit hard by  having one high carb day on Saturday and low carb which made me think at time hurry up medium carb day. Got my training changed around by making things more intense by doing less sets compare to the high volume training which was hard at times when it was low carb days. Will be going back to seeing a trainer once a week which will make things more easy for the rest of my prep.

Had a wicked time seeing the new transformers move the only down side of it was had to put up with the smell of pop corn and people having soft drinks. Had my phone so I could check the time so. I would know to have my next meal. Thought the new transformers movie rocked plus lots of good action in it as well.

Before I trained went to my my dr for a health check went good was going to go for blood test on the way to the gym. Thought I best to do that after work since it was bit busy in the morning.Had a good session this morning and notice the sets for chest went by since I am doing less volume which made things go by faster and quicker. Took a hour to train chest and calfs compare to what it use to take which was a hour and bit. When I was training thought of that line in pumping iron where Lou ferringno says Arnold,Arnold etc but for me each rep that I do between now the last train that I have before the pans . I will think Auckland ,Auckland  etc. Notice a big difference in my engery levels by having the extra high carb day on Sunday made things a bit more easy for me when biking to the gym and work etc

I reached my trainer about smith machine hack squats which he didn't know about before including one of the other trainers who was have train as well. When I arrived at work there cheese balls,grapes etc and sweets in the fridge . Said to myself food like that can be classed as off season food. It was very cold today had to put lots of warm clothes on to keep me warm. Notice today since I am five weeks out from the pans. Which is there more mass on me at 85kg this time around unlike at this time last year at 85 kg when there was bugger all mass. Texted my trainer my user name on my fitness including my email addrease .Not to sure if my diet will be getting changed around for the final four weeks of my prep starting Monday .

After one of the neighbours in my area came by my house last night told my mum and I the news. Been getting lots of nice text messages and emails from my friends etc. They were very sorry to hear. While I was at the gym this morning thought I have got my training to help get me through this. Ordered a copy of wrestlemaina anthology volume four on the way to work including a order of whey from eat me.
