good on you bro, keep it up. we support you either way but much more impressed to see you follow through with your commitments because thats what real men do - that's the true spirit, the real  "gymrat style"!

 

i know you've climbed this mountain already but next time, when things are feeling rough don't go straight to talking to loved ones. they will always give you the supportive shoulder to cry on like a baby rather than what you really need which is a quick slap in the face to bring you back to your senses (thats what true friends are for!). think back to why you started and your love of the sport, use that to drive your decisions.

 

i'll be looking forward to see the revelation of your secret training/dieting over the past few weeks, just remember to never back down! good luck man

 

ps. you should take up realtalks offer to quickly demonstate some of the movements for you. he's been practicing proper form for years and he's got the results to prove it - strong as fk and has done the bb shows too. if any of that rubs off on you, you'll be twice the killing machine you are next year

After giving it some thought I will be doing Nats now with my normal diet so i won't let you guys down.

Go Gymrat! That is awesome to hear, mate! :D

 

Pesodo you not internet police br0.

Actually, br0, in this corner of the internet, I am.

I asked for no more inflammatory posts, so you posted them. I sent you a PM asking you to stop, and you posted even nastier stuff. Are you trying to get this account banned too? Just ask me if you are - it would save us both a lot of time.

Thanks Pseudo for you sensible and level headed words that allowed us to work through this situation.

There are many skills and approaches to training to the level of a National event and Gymrat has faced a few of them recently, but he does have real supporters here and he does appreciate that.

For those who would detract from Gymrats actions they need to be aware that autistic people are actually higher functioning people ie they are brighter than the avareage person but have problems relating that to the real world. The problem is they take in all the information (rubbish info and good info) but have trouble sorting one from the other. They also have problems communicating their thinking back to other people, often remaining disconnected from people.

Hence it is often easier for Grmrat to re use others explanations, so he knows he will get it right.

In my interactions with Gymrat I have found him to be bright and picks things up real fast (good and bad) he dedicates himself to body building and has done as I ask him even when I know he is unsure of what I ask. He really likes to understand why things work or not but no one has ever taken the time to explain the basics.

When Gymrat decided to compete at the Nationals I offered him to stay with me, but did not want it  made public because of the shit Azide would dish out. But knowing what I know now I should have had the courage to stick to my convictions and ignore bad press.

So yes I will have Gymrat staying with my family and I, and yes I will be assisting him in the future. So I challenge those who can help him to do so, and those who make difficulties for him to bugger off!

Who cares what random trolls on the net think.

Just do your thing.

Everyone else can go eat a lemon.

From what I make of the last couple of days, The General has destroyed all of the haters. Clearly that is what has happened.

He is so alpha that he eats Pizza and McDonals and doesn't give a f*ck what people think.

At the nats I'd love to see you take a dump on stage and kick it into the audience and say thats what I think of the haters!

todat was chest and shoulders and cardio the session was good with not much rest in between sets. Went extra hard for cardio to burn off any extra calories after yesterday refed . Manged to keep things extra clean food wise apart from having macas , pizza etc.Got one of my co workers to check my skin folds was the same as the last time which is 6.1% body fat. Was checking my journal to see you guys comments  after I changed my mind about competing on Saturday . Thanks guys for your comments. There was no damage done to my body after yesterday but the extra carbs that I had sure helped my mod and engery levels as well. Texted every one on my contacts list on my phone and told them that I am competing on Saturday and they were very proud of me after I changed my mind about  doing Nats . Who knows I might even come first in my class after yesterday's break from the diet and being back on my normal diet. Just bring it nz on Saturday. If any of you guys are coming to watch me at Nats on Saturday please do me a massive favourite cheer very loud and hard for me if the roof gets blown off the venue.

But that will come down between now and Friday including lowering my sodium and dropping water on Friday as well. Went looking around for a new grill after my George Forman grill died on the weekend but will be buying a new one when there is a sale on at briscios or nole lemamings etc. If any of you guys are coming to watch me compete at nationals on Saturday your invited to join me for mcdonlds after the show at mcdonlds avondale.
