Friday 4th September

Yesteday I took my darling Daughter Natalie for her 30 week scan and baby Colby is doing great, it was so emotional to watch the scan. Then this morning my amazing Son Steve and his gorgeous girlfriend Amy had their 20 week scan and found out that they are having a baby girl. This has to be one of the happiest days of my life. I honestly can't imagine that life can get much better than this!

Tuesday 1st September

Well Rob unfortunately didn't win but he was a close second and was without doubt in the best shape of his life and his routine was great too. The winners legs were so defined though, that was the difference I think. Rob can at least start eating, I'm now into the middle phase of competition preparations which means dieting even harder, but it is working really well and as soon as Steve is back from holiday I'll get some recent pics put on here.

What a busy time at the moment! As well as my preparations for the British finals stepping up a gear this week, I've been spending some time getting my good mate Rob ready for a show; he is competing in the Kent Klassic tomorrow. Eddie, who coaches both of us has been on holiday but is back now and will take over again today, I'm hoping that he will be pleased with Rob's condition. Also we have done some good work on Rob's posing this week and I think that he looks better than he ever has before!

My daughter & her husband are at my place in Spain so I'm getting extra time with Caden this week. Yesterday we went to Toys R Us to choose his Birthday present. Unfortunately he wants the whole shop! I'll have to see what I'm allowed to get him, his Mum says that I spoil him. Here's a picture of him on a little something that we got yesterday, wouldn't you spoil him?

Tuesday 25th August

Legs day again, what a rush. I do legs every 4 days when getting ready for a show and it's well worth it. Eddie is on holiday for a week but he left me specific instructions on how to train while he's away. He will be pleased when he gets back (I hope!) Legs already look better than they did in May and I have another 7 weeks work to do on them yet!

Monday 17th August

Just done my legs with Eddie Abbew. Did I say that he would kick my arse? What an understatement. Sweat, pain, tears, blood, but what a pump! He wants my legs bigger and more cut, have a look at the video and pics and tell me if that's even possible! It will all be worth it come October, but I need to throw up just now and then get some sleep!

Friday 7th August

Did a kick arse leg session today and with good reason. Eddie is away competing in The Tampa Bay classic, he should do well, he looks awesome. When he gets back he is taking over my leg training, I thought my legs looked OK in May but he wants them better for the British finals so that means there is only one arse that will be getting kicked between now & October and that's mine! I don't mind, I love training legs and at the end of every session with Eddie I can't walk. Us bodybuilders get pleasure from the strangest things!
