Doing Something Right

Well, it's about week 3 of the 'new' suppliments and I have to say, I feel alright. I have vowed to kind of ignore what one of my buddies is telling me about limiting my cardio to 10 minutes and going back to doing at least 20 minutes-ish. I will say, if the mirror doesn't tell you what you want to hear, then other people will. I was at Virginia Tech this weekend and at one point during my visit, my friend, who is a professor there and I got away to go do some errands and go to the bar for a quick beer. I happened to be wearing the VT Wrestling t-shirt that I had bought from the bookstore earlier that day. After my first drink and discovering that this particular bar didn't have a non-alcoholic beer for my friend (he doesn't drink), we picked up to leave. I hadn't yet put my jacket back on to walk outside when one of the bar's patrons stops me and says "Tech wrestling, huh? You guys did awesome this year". I knew that kid had only walked into the bar about 5 minutes before we were thinking of leaving (there were only 4 other patrons in the bar when he got there, to include my friend and I), so I know he wasn't wasted yet. It was then official - I had been mistaken for one of the college's wrestlers. I won't drone on about it for too long, but that was awesome. I didn't read too much into it, but I did take it as an indicator that I have been doing something right in the gym all this time.



That's not to say that I am pleased with where I'm at right now. Other people's standards usually don't meet mine, so I am looking to be a few cuts above where I am now. I have decided that in May I am going into my cutting phase whether I am the size I want to be or not. That means mucho cardio, circuit training and lots of diet changes. I'm thinking that with the massive reduction in cardio, the relaxed diet and the concentration on heavy lifting, my body won't know what hit it. By the time it really warms up, I should be ready to rock.
