My journey to the Midwest Championships

[Zeus]

Thought I would share my journey with all my friends here at MC. This is gonna be my first show. Going in as a lightheavy in the novice and the open division. Here are some pics of me at 220lbs.

[Lightsout]

I can seeing you kicking ass brother !!! You got this..

 

[Zeus]

Thanx guys. You guys are 2 of my closest friends and your op mean alot. I'm goin into this show at the top of my game. I know I got some things to work on, but I will not use that as an excuse to slack. I got alot of time bring up the areas I need to. I will be ready for WAR!!!!!!

 

[nuknuk]

you got some potential!

 

[Presser]

Looking pretty solid zeus, look forward to seeing your progress over the course of ur prep

 

[Chris250]

You got plenty of time to be totally on. 17 wks to showtime...make it happen

 

[Zeus]

Thanx nuk and presser. I was hoping you two would chime in on this one. I really plan on maken some noise at this show. I'm really pushn myself to new levels in and out of the gym. I really have to thank Chris for believing I got what it takes and maken me realize that also. Chris has been helpn me with my possing and my training. With all the support from my family and my friends, the possibilitys are limitless. I will settle for no less than victory. This is just the beggining for me. :gold:

 

[The Dude]

My only advice is don't focus much on your weight. I lost 10lbs the last week before I stepped onstage. You have the right mindset. Carry it through all the way. I always get overwhelmed the last couple of days.

 

[Presser]

Well if chris is helping you then ur good hands and already a step ahead, as most guys get 20 different people telling them 20 different things to do for contest prep, so having just one guy you trust and who knows is shit puts you ahead of the game already.

I know my first show i had different people telling me different shit, and i decided to listen to one guy and thats what made the differnece for me!

Plus you got some size so you should do well brutha!

Agreed! I missed that Chris is helping you.

 

[Zeus]

Yeah, I have people tryn to give me advice all the time. Thing is, I know they don't shit from applebutter. The only advice I take is from my fellow MC bro's. Why take advice from someone who has never stepped on stage b4? Chris really knows his shit, esp. when it comes to dieting. Don't get me wrong, I will take your guys advice also(presser,nuknuk, and the dude) but Chris will have the finnal say. He is one of my closest friends and knows what works for me. So please feel free to give me all the advice you can. Knowledge is power my friends.....

Just keep doing what your doing bro...about 13 weeks out, I would like to take over the diet totally and help ya out. Its up to you, if you want to do your diet, and I just give ya hints and take a look at ya week to week. Or I can write it up and do it for ya...So for the next month think about what you would like to do, also take notes on what works for ya and what doesnt. More info is better for me, or any trainer for that matter. I think you have a fast metabolism, so I know a carb cycling diet will work best...but no more mexican food for ya bro...lol !!! (at 13 weeks out)...

 

[Chris250]

hey zues post up how your kinda eating now...day to day...

I want you to take over my diet at 13 weeks. Having you in control over my diet will help me stay away from all the shit(mexican food). I want there to be no excuses when I step on stage. Just not lookn forward to eatn brocolli. Fckn shit is nasty, but I will do whatever it takes to be in the best condition possible. Honestly, I haven't eatn mexican food in quit awhile. Weird for a mexican to not eat mexican food.

First they take our jobs...now they want to win our bodybuilding shows. Good luck, Zeus. I'm hoping to do my first show next year, so I'll be following your journey closely.

Seen Zues yesterday, and will see him again Saturday. Prob go over some posing and chat a bit. He looks very impressive right now, around 215-220lbs. Pretty lean, very full and dense, threwout the upper half. Still needs to hit legs hard, and bring out more sweep, and hams. but I know he is pushing himself to the max.
