in the 2006 natrual hercules i competed in i saw tim win his pro card he has really improved his conditioning in the last year..................
Thanks. Took a totally different approach this year. After last year I felt I looked stringy and soft because I dieted for too short a period. I added good fats to every meal, and have now been dieting for 28(!!!) weeks. I've actually gotten bigger and harder since my first show this year on May 5th, about five pounds heavier and much harder. Looking forward to putting it on the line this coming weekend. As Theodore Roosevelt said about testing yourself:
"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."
