24 Days Out
March 29 2012
One of the most important parts of your journey to reach your physique goals is to keep a positive mindset. When things aren't going as you planned or not happening fast enough self doubt and discouragement start to creep into your mind. If you let those thoughts take over then it's going to start effecting your workouts and you will be more likely to say screw your nutrition plan and fall off the wagon. You have to keep in mind that this is not an easy road by any means and if it were then EVERYONE would be doing it. Instead of dwelling on the negatives focus on the positive and focus hard on what the big picture is to you.
With just 24 days left I'm giving it everything I have. I had to send updated pictures to Hany today so I'll be speaking with him in the next few days to see if I need any program changes but so far I feel that I'm tightening up at a good rate. I have not lost any strength in fact I've gotten a little stronger on a few lifts. My weight this morning was 217lb on an empty stomach. I'll be doing another assessment on Saturday to see if any of the numbers have changes...lets hope so. Also I'll be getting around to doing another youtube video since my schedule didn't permit it last week.
Past 5 Days
5 days in a row of workouts and my body is officially worn out. Since Brian was in town I wanted to take him through all muscle groups except the only one we didn't hit together was quads. Here is a rundown of what we did the past 5 days.. We used a lot of different techniques with partials,negatives,high reps,low reps, pre-exhaust,super sets,fst-7.
- Friday - Chest/Biceps
- Saturday - Hamstrings/Calf
- Sunday - Back
- Monday - Abs/Shoulders/Calf
- Tuesday - Arms
I have a slow day with clients so I'm going to use this time to just recover. I speak with Hany on Friday to find out what the game plan is now that I have to be prepared to shoot within 4-6 weeks so I know everything is about to get kicked into high gear. I can't wait to see what the final product looks like and I'll post more once I know more of when I'm going to NYC etc. One thing I know that will change is no more cheat meals until I'm done with my shoots. On a different note the weather has been awesome here and I'm hoping this spring weather is here to stay!
Delts at Gym5
Wednesday night I didn't sleep worth a shit so on Thursday once I was done with my morning clients at noon I came home and crashed for an hour or so. I normally hit the gym every day around 1:30 but I needed the rest if I was going to get a good session in. I ended up going at 4:30 and didn't want to make the 20 minute drive to the NAC since it would've been around rush hour which I prob would've sat in traffic so I just went to Gym5 (where I personal train clients) that's 5 minutes from the house. This workout I focused on the side delt. If your looking to improve the roundness,width and cap your shoulders off this workout is for you.

Tyler, i read that your taking glycocarb with evp pre-workout? Do you take them together? The EVP directions say to take it on an empty stomach, does it matter if you take your carbs with it?

Hey Tyler, have you always been vascular? Other then lowering your body fat, are there are ways to get your veins to appear thicker and more apparant? Does cardio help since it promotes the increase of blood flow?

Tyler, from my experience with web designers, I learned to expect delays and broken promises unless you go with a very high end company. Still, I'm looking forward to becoming a member. Your present site gives daily inspiration.

Tyler, When you say that you wil never put on extra body fat, does that mean you will not be doing anymore "bulking phases" in the near future with Hanny?

Do you have any recommendations for someone who may be looking into getting into fitness modeling? Where do you start? Is there any way you can submit pictures of yourself to certain companies as a way to get noticed ?
