3 Weeks and Counting...

It's crazy to think that in less than 3 weeks, I will be competing in the Natural Olympia.  I have been training and dieting for this show since last November, yet it seems like just yesterday.  Time really does fly when you're having fun.  The goal is still the same... to have my hand raised when all is said and done, but as the competition draws closer and closer, this is the time in which my attitude and focus MUST be at 100%.  Last week was an insanely busy week, and I caught myself losing focus.  But when news broke that my Coach/Friend/Mentor, Kiyoshi Moody defended his title at the 2011 PNBA Natural Universe in Australia Saturday night... that was all the motivation I needed to get thru these next 18 days.  My mind is right, my focus is more clear than ever, and with God on my side, I know that in these upcoming days, I will do whatever I need to do to bring my absolute best package ever.  At this point, it is a daily battle with myself to be better than I was the day before.  All I can do is bring the "Mike Brown 2.0", and we'll see how everything plays out on November 11th, 2011 in Reno, NV. 

Today's bodypart will be "Back".  This is definitely my favorite day, because my back is a bodypart that I have concentrated on improving all year, so everytime I have a back day, I make sure that I really feel every pull, flex, and extension.  My workout today will look like this (Already completed 45 mins of AM Cardio):

-4 Sets of 15- Pull Ups (Make sure to fully extend before pulling up)
Superset with:
-4 Sets of 25 reps - Sitting, 2 handed overhand Row

-4 Sets of 25 Reps- Wide Grip Overhand Lat Pull Down (Dropset: 15 reps, lower weight, 10 reps)
Superset with:
-4 Sets of Bent over Row Pull downs (Use rope)

-4 Sets of 35- Smith Machine Reverse-Close Grip Bent-Over Rows (Dropset: 15 reps, lower weight, 10 reps, lower weight, 10 reps)

-4 Sets of 20 Reps- Deadlifts

-4 Sets of 20 Reps: Dumbbell Shrugs
Superset with:
-4 Sets of 15 Reps: Back Extensions

Finish with 45 Mins of Cardio on the Stairmill

Try it Out & Have Fun!
