The funny thing about dieting and training for a show, is that you constantly have to change things around...increase carbs/decrease carbs, double cardio/no cardio/one cardio, split training sessions/one session....it is always challenging, as well as stressful. Doing the same thing every single day, without change, will not get you to where you want to be...which is to win!! The only thing that is for certain, is that each day, I need to hit the cardio hard, make every gym session count, and get ALL my meals in....this alone is enough and occupies almost all of my minutes in the day. Today is back training. No AM cardio session today, will hit about 30 after training tonite. 

Up this am at 8: NO CARDIO , I am starving when I wake up today!!  My meals are still spaced out at about 2.5-3 hours apart. Water intake is still 2+ gallons per day.
