"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
Although I train alone a lot, I also rotate workout partners in. My best workouts are when I lift with a fellow competitor who is as motivated as I am.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
It's fine if you're lifting heavy weight, not OK if your grunting to get attention.
I just read a post on another forum describing a top competitors daily diet for preparing for a contest. Honestly I don't know how this guy maintains a job, as he was eating 14 times a day, and almost all of his meals were whole foods that required preparation, not to mention time to eat them! ...
Four day split done over one week. Thirty minutes (offseason), sixty minutes (precontest) of cardio every morning before breakfast (Treadmill at 12% @ 3.0 mph, or eliptical or stairmaster set for 120 bpm).
That is one impressive competition history and an amazing physique. Don't isten to the haters and just keep doing what you know works for you since it is OBVIOUSLY working! Hope to see you at team U!
I just wanted to stop by to congratulate you on all of your hard work and the great results you have achieved. I believe that people such as yourself who have worked hard to get their body into great shape should be acknowledged and complimented. I hope that you have a fantastic 4th weekend and are able to stay strong, focused & determined. May God bless.
