Disappointing yourself


Sometimes competing can bring out a whirlwind of emotions. More times than not, disappointment creeps it's little head up. This off-season has been one of my most successful off seasons. I maintained a great look with my body fat only going up to 15%. I am "always" training for a show, but have really focused on building muscle for the last two months. The first month went great. I put on 3lbs of muscle. My total goal is 9. The second month, didn't go so well. It was no ones fault but my own. I just didn't eat what I needed to eat. Bottom line is you have to eat if you are going to build muscle… and I didn’t. My numbers stayed exactly the same. This is great for everyday life, but not for bodybuilding. I did not try at all to maintain, it just happened. But I was supposed to be gaining muscle. 4 wks lost. Good news is my body fat is low enough right now so I don't have to lean out just yet. I will give this building muscle thing another shot. This time there will be no excuses. I will cram the food down in order to get the calories in.
