Well rest week is over and back at it. Doggcrap training in full swing. If you haven't learned what DC training is, here is a link to a good write up over it. http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/how_to_build_50_pounds_of_muscle_in_12_months
Still sitting about 270 and the goal is to hit 285 or as close to it as possible. Gonna be rough with a baby due any day now but I'll still manage to get my lifts in. So here's how day 1 went down.

Day 1:
Incline bb press 315#s - 12 reps, rest pause
DB Shoulder Press 100's - 24 reps, rest pause
Dips 120# +BW - 19 reps, rest pause
Lat Pulldowns 300#s - 24 reps, rest pause
Rack Pulls 495#s - 10 reps, 12 reps straight sets

Meals are high protein, carbs based around my workouts and I have gotten crazy with the veggies. I am sticking to HIIT style cardio keeping it within 10-12 minutes on non training days and feel like I'm recovering just fine. I am spending more and more time on the foam roller with my quads, hip flexors, IT bands glutes and such as I am naturally super tight in those areas. Starving today, can't seem to eat enough. Also I want to give thanks to my sponsor, Hydraulix and the owner, Jay. Thank you for giving me a shot and allowing me to represent you. I look forwardto growing with the company and can't wait to represent on stage. I also can't wait for the release of the rest of the line. Well that's it for now.... I'll update a little each day.

Side note - 
 We are waiting for Lincoln to be born any day now. Trying to come up with a game plan on how to manage the gym during and right after delivery. We will be relying on a lot of friends stepping up to help out. We truly are blessed with good people around us. I put all my trust in God and He keeps taking care of me every step of the way. I tell ya, times are tough and people are scared but I rely on God. Knowing He has my back, I don't sweat the small stuff at all because at the end of the day I still have Him. Thanks for taking the time to allow me to share this.

Been awhile since I posted up last. Some new changes have occurred. I would go in some detail about me but I have already covered many things in previous posts so I will leave it up to you guys to just catch up. As of now, our baby boy will be born within the next few weeks and I for one can't wait for him to get here. Yes, not looking forward to the sleepless nights, numerous diaper changes, etc. etc. But I am looking forward to meeting my son. Am I nervous having another kid and turning 36 this month....yes, but again, this gives me a chance at being a better father. A better father, not just to him, but all my kids. I still have a fear of being like my father, non existent. Growing up without a father has made me realize just how important dad's are. I believe if you were to look at almost all of the problems facing our society, it can all be traced back to men, not being fathers. But that is for another day.... I'm trying to find a way to get this started, I hope to cover all topics of my life, parenting, being a husband, a Christian, a bodybuilder, business owner, trainer... I can't help but keep thinking about my family right now though, so if I am boring you I promise it will get better in time.
