So I thought I would write a few words about what im getting up to and what I have planned this year I have been so busy with the personal training that I haven’t had chance to blog on my personal trainer site .

So in 8 weeks time on September 17th I will be stepping on stage in Toronto participating in my first Physique competition.

9 weeks ago I was In the ABS Personal Training studio IN Dublin when I decided I needed to find a goal to train towards.

As a personal trainer I’m always telling my clients at the studio in Dublin to find a goal and train for it as it will keep them focused and motivated

It then dawned on me that I needed to do this myself.

I had been training since Xmas just focusing on getting stronger ,but with no real aim or goals.

I thought about entering a power-lifting competition ,but then I decided I didn’t want to look like a power-lifter and pile on all that body-fat.

I was talking about another Dublin Personal Trainer Ian Graham to a client about his success in last years model search Fitness Star competition when I thought eureka ill have a go at that .

9 weeks later here I am training and diet my arse off .

So far I’m pretty happy with hows things have gone having a successful first phase of planned over training gaining 4lbs and dropping body fat .

I have even been lucky enough to get Ian on board with my training and nutritional plan. along with a load of other stuff .

After all he knows what it takes to win with success last year and finishing second the year before .

I’m now on starting my 2nd Planned over training phase .

This is basically a short period of deliberate over training to help accelerate muscle growth .

After this period I will start my conditioning phase with the goal of leaning up whilst maintaining size and strength .

I will be putting up some pictures of my progress very soon .
