Ben Griffing's Journal
By: Alton Hare
Well, after coming in at a very heavy 230, I have cut down to 214; I tried to lose a little weight, but only enough so that I don't get my body fat levels too high when I start adding mass again. I plan on bulking up again for football over the summer, so I'm looking to put on quite a bit of size this time around. My strength has dropped considerably, as I am not pushing/pulling anything close to where I used to when I was heavier. Date Added: May 20, 2002

David's Latest Training Journal - 5/12/02 - 5/18/02
By: David Knowles
This is what I've been waiting for!! Finally, a little time to relax and worry about nothing. This was a great week for training since I can rest all day and be, basically worthless. It is bittersweet, but this break is also very welcomed. I'm about 8 weeks out and counting down. In about two weeks, it will be time to really start buckling down. 3339 Words - Date Added: Jun 06, 2002

David's Latest Training Journal - 5/19/02 - 5/25/02
By: David Knowles
This week definitely proved to be somewhat mentally challenging and relieving. Late in the week, I had to let my training partner go. Now I'm flying solo for the contest preparation. It's kind of a bad thing in that I have no spotter for the heavy lifts, but at the same time, it's a good thing because now I don't have to wait to train, I can go as I please. The spotter issue was resolved by the help of my dad and my roommate, so that's one less thing to worry about. I feel like I'm a little ahead of schedule for the upcoming contest. I'm right at six weeks out on Saturday, so it's getting pretty serious at this point. 3698 Words - Date Added: Jun 07, 2002

David's Latest Training Journal - 5/21/02 - 6/01/02
By: David Knowles
This week was a pretty good one. The downside to not having a workout partner is, of course, not having a spot. This is really no big deal if you know someone in the gym. However, if you don't, workouts like chest or back and suffer…Big time! You can correct for this by improvising and increasing the intensity by increasing the number of reps or exercises performed. Time to get nasty! 3163 Words - Date Added: Jun 21, 2002

David's Latest Training Journal - 5/5/02 - 5/11/02

Soon, working out and dieting will be all that needs to be worried about. With this week, I am about 2 months out from my next contest on July, 6th 3094 Words - Date Added: Jun 05, 2002

David's Latest Training Journal - 6/09/02 - 6/15/02
By: David Knowles
I am not positively sure that postponing the contest was the right decision. Of course, it will free up a lot of time, but it would also be great to win that contest. I have been able to spend a lot of time with my grandfather, and it's definitely paying off. I still think that I would be able to spend an extended amount of time with him regardless of if I did the contest, so I may just change my mind! 2378 Words - Date Added: Jul 22, 2002

Wow what a difference two weeks can make. Two weeks ago I was going over my pics and being objective with myself. I think I have the size to do well at the natural level, in fact I know I do.

Phano's Training Journal 13
By: Phano Paul Som
Today was my first day of training chest alone and I was actually feeling up to the challenge of not having a spotter. I began with flat bench press to get things going. I put on 135 and banged out 15 easy reps. Then I put on 185 for another 10 reps. Finally, I slapped on 225 for another easy 10 reps. At this point, I thought I was warm but I really wasn't. It takes a lot more for me to get warm than it has in the past. I guess it's because my muscles are stronger now... 2101 Words - Date Added: Jul 04, 2002
