Day In The Life: Welcome to AZ - AWN2004 and company

[AWN2004]

I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while and could never really find the time to plan it out until recently. After being on this board for about four years, you sometimes get the pleasure of actually meeting some people that post on a regular basis. So today I decided to document everything that happens during a regular day here in AZ. I got up to do my cardio, grabbed my camera, and the rest is history. I want to thank everyone that let me take pics of them today as I pretty much just surprised the shit out of them and snapped their pic. I'm sure you will see some familiar faces as the thread progresses.

8am -

Started my day with a cardio session. I have been doing cardio three times a week now on an empty stomach to tune up the metabolism and drop a bit of body fat before really blasting into my off-season. I must say its feels great and my appetite is through the roof all day. Ahhh... the Golds gym parking lot disaster area. Surprisingly it wasn’t that crowded today but as usual, the sun was shining. You can’t beat that.


More to come.........

After doing cardio, I headed over to the Fit By Design studio and ran into a couple of dudes I'm sure you know.....well at least one of them you do and the other one you will shortly.


As you can tell, Dusty was really happy to see me!

Now for the new guy......

I happen to see "Pain" (as he posts on here) about to start his torture session with D. He is getting ready for November and I have a feeling the transformation will be a great thing to watch.

Note the T-Shirt as well.

Fit By Design.....

I'm sure many have read about what these guys are doing for the bodybuilding and fitness community in AZ. It's a great thing. Rob and GG are at the Junior USA so I was not able to get a pic of them but here is a pic of the place with the new equipment. If you need a great trainer, look to these guys.

9:30am-

On my way to work after my first meal. The local area around here lies behind a mountain range. It's nothing like Jethro's pics, but it does make me take a second to realize how great AZ is in some places.

10am-

Work.....

What started as an idea has developed into a busy company. The company I work for now sells over 18,000 health, beauty, and sports nutrition supplements. It's busy from the minute I enter the offices to the moment I leave. It was a drastic change from what I was doing but I'm glad I'm a part of it now. As you can see, it looks like a bomb went off. Thats a good thing though as it means we were busy the day before!

12pm-6pm

I typically eat about 3 times when I'm at work. I'm lucky I have a boss that could care less as long as I get my work done. Today it was chicken and plain baked spuds. I'll eat this about three times. I hear in the office all the time "don't you ever get sick of that over and over again?". I just try not to think about it . I like it anyways. Anyone in the area I'm sure knows about Pita Jungle. We are lucky enough that they deliver to us. From time to time I've been known to eat a medchilada or seven.

Meal Time

7pm

Back at Golds.........

I happen to see a couple of people you may know getting a training session in.

Who is that I see?????

VANDER V!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He lives....I have not seen the guy in a little while and it was good to see the dude. He was getting over a bout with food poisoning and said he was "flat" and "small". Sheesh. I saw the dude get on the scale and he was about 250. If that is small then I'll take it.

 

[AWN2004]

Tonight was shoulders and hamstrings.....

Enough of that though...Im sure everyone wants to see pics of the girls in the gym anyway. Look who I happen to see...Cslim.

She is fresh off her figure class win last weekend I believe. Big things to come from Cslim.

 

[AWN2004]

Once again I see Dusty putting in the OT. The guy is driven. Im sure many read the thread about being balanced that was started. I would have to say the guy has his ducks in a row and should end this year with some fantastic results. I used to train with the guy and I have no doubt in my mind he will accomplish them and whatever else he sets his mind to...all with a smile on his face.

As seen here....25 lbs of ground sirloin down and no more to go. Always eating, always growing, always having fun.

One last pic of the hardware from FBD.......


I think they are going to need a bigger table shortly.

1030pm


I'm just getting this completed and my GF and I are going to watch a movie shortly. I was able to eat one last time before I started to type. I had fun doing this and hopefully I will be able to do some other kinds of threads for the USA and perhaps Nationals as I know I will be heading out that way. I'm really getting fired up to better myself from 2005. I hope everyone enjoyed this.

I disagree. Your pictures are really cool! My dad's side of the family live down there. I should probably get down there and visit before they all die! lol.

Love the gym shots and the commentary, that's just good fun!
