Well August is starting to wind down and going into my last month of bulking before I begin my cut down phase in October. I am going nuts just thinking about all the calories I am going to have to cut out of my diet. But hey I bulked up pretty nicely and have one month left to get up to about 335. Got about 20 more pounds to go and then cutting down to about 290 going into the Arnold and then about 275-280 for the Pittsburgh show. I just want to say thanks to everyone at the FST-7 site (http://www.fst-7.com). The Muskateer's are the best and I am lucky to have friends like you. Hany has developed one of the true workout systems that will stand the test of time.
Did back yesterday and arms today. Both good workouts. Put up pics and video of deadlifts yesterday. Youcan check them out at http://www.facebook.com/scottmowry.
On a personal note:
I am sad to have read in Britt Miller's blog (brittmiller.blogspot.com) that she has decided to take a break from bodybuilding for now. But she has been hitting it hard for a number of years now and she is the epitome of what a true bodybuilder is. She is not only beautiful, but she has developed her body to elite status. The sport has "lost" one of the true ladies of bodybuilding. I wish her luck in her future endeavors and look forward to the day she steps back on stage.

Support System
I will say this about bodybuilding. You must have a great support system around you or you will not go far since it is easy to talk yourself out of everything.
I have to say the team I have around me from the gym owner/coach Bryan (Anytime Fitness Spring (Spring, Texas)) to his great life style coach Kelli (http://www.healthyhabits4ever.com) and the training partners Bryan has put around me are awesome.
But you need to have a support system also outside of the gym. I am lucky that my family is so supportive of my choice in lifestyle and ultimately my want to make it my job someday.
It also is good to mention that having a significant other that is supportive of your quest is also a huge deal. That person that you are around most of the time that sees you on your good days and bad ones and can put their hand on your shoulder and say honey you are doing good keep it up. Trust me it comes in handy on those low carb days when you want to throw the dumbbells through a wall.

Saturday
Well it is 1 am Saturday morning and I am sitting at work thinking about the leg workout I have in roughly 11 hours. It is going to be massive and brutal. Here is a choice sampling of what we will be doing for it.
Leg Extentions 4x15
Leg Curls 4x15
Leg Presses 6x10
Lunges 4x15
Calf raises 5x25
So I am having to create a mindset of all out war during my workouts. Well i will post later about how the workout went.
