Progress Pictures

Here are a couple of progress pictures taken today, exactly 15/16 weeks out from the INBF Monster Mash / INBF Worlds respectively.  God, I hope I'm on pace!!  

 

I weighed in at 191.4 lbs this morning so I'm a little heavier and fatter here :). 

 

I definitely notice some good improvements here from 1 1/2 years ago...... props to Jordan's training methods! 

 

The lighting is pretty bad in these pictures but I think that's a more ideal way of judging progress.  

I've seen contest photos of Jordan Chabinsky, Brian Whitacre, Brendan Greenwood, and other top level pros and it's hard to imagine that in 15 weeks I'll be able to bring that same level of conditioning.  However, that is my primary goal and I'll put in all the work necessary to get there!....and if I get my a$$ handed to me, then I'll just push Jordan in the lake again!crazy.png

It looks to me like you are exactly where you want to be at this point Greg. You have a lot of definition for someone so far out.

You will be at your all time best I am sure!

staying positive and working hard

I think you will be ready in plenty of time.  You look great right now.  You have quite a bit of lean body mass to support getting totally shredded.  You already have quad separation and abs.    And you definitely have great symmetry.  Oh god, this just makes me realize how far off I am from where I need to be for the same show.:Sp

Luckily, we bikini girls don't need to be shredded.  However, I do still want to be on the leaner side of bikini.  Oh well, like you, I am giving 200% right now.  We'll be fine.

Thanks Mark.  I know I'm in good hands here so I have the utmost confidence that I'll be shredded to the bone!  

 

Thanks for the complements Annette!  I know that if I want any chance at winning a WNBF pro card then my conditioning has to be flawless.  Hopefully you and I can feed off of each others energy as this prep continues.  I'm sure there will be days down the road where it feels like a workout just getting out of bed in the morning!  I'll be sure to check out your journal on those days for some motivation!! Lets kill this show in November!  

Focus forward...

Jannette, Julie:  Thanks for the motivational booster:)  It's been a while since I've checked out my journal here but your comments go a long way in keeping my head up as hunger and exhaustion kick in some days!!  

Exhaustion comes and goes but the hunger is constant as I'm sure you all know.  Just under 10 weeks to go:). 

Focus forward...
