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!

Friday 31st July

Spent the day with Caden again yesterday and got the picture that I promised you. He now insists on eating his "Crunch Corners" all by himself, although he might as well bath in it instead! Shortly after this was taken he gave his verdict on his snack, mmm delicious! he said. I just couldn't stop laughing!

Sunday 26th July

So, the first week of full preparation training and dieting is done, just another 12 to go then; easy. Yesterday, as a reward for a good weeks work I spent most of the day with the person that I love most in the whole world, my Grandson Caden of course. We had the best time ever. As I was reading him a book he looked up at me and said "love you Granddad" and then wondered why his Granddad had tears rolling down his cheeks! We had such a busy day we didnt even have time for new photos, but I'll do some next time and put on one on here.
