Groundhog Day

Today is Groundhog Day and while that just means something weather related to the people of Gobblers Knob (seriously, Google it......carefully) it is a day that a lot of bodybuilders use as a watershed in their plans for the year.  The Christmas pounds have gone and the serious bulking up work has had a month to do its job so now a decision has to be made as to shows and diet dates.  My advice is never start dieting unless you're sure that you're big enough, a show diet will always burn a small amount of muscle along with the fat, moreso if you are drug free of course.  A show diet is a massive committment so "make sure that you are hench before you start the wrench".  I already have several proteges at PPF who will compete this year and today I will alter all of their diets accordingly, based on the plans that they have.  As usual, the first timers are actually looking forward to the diet whilst the seasoned campaigners are already moaning.  I love this sport!
