Hot one in the gym today. Split Squats had me feeling light headed after the sets. Really got focused after my first set of split squats, weight was feeling light through the last 3 sets. Pace was a little bit faster than last week's, wasn't used to hitting the legs so hard in one session. Even though I'm 39 weeks out I'm ready to do whatever it takes to bring the best package.

I was reading through bb.com's contest prep section and there was a thread about a kid who skipped out on free ticket's to the mlb all star game because he was 5 weeks out and it was a leg day. He went with the leg day. This was a good reminder to me that bodybuilding should not run one's life, it should only enhance it. We choose to diet, train, and get on stage. We are not chosen, it is an option. Never let bodybuilding run your life because you will miss out on great memories and opportunities. It took me awhile to figure this out but something I feel many people should never forget.
