Update

Well, I talked to the ittihad team coach and he told me that the eastern province championship was going to be in january (i don't know when in january, but i'll probably know exactly in late december). so, i decided to compete. i won't spend a lot of money or effort in this since i'm already trying to drop fat and become the leanest i've ever been. 14 weeks is more than enough time for me. i might compete at a very low body weight because for the past 8 weeks, i've really let myself go (well... actually it's the opposite)... i don't eat much.. only 4 meals per day... my strength went down... doing a lot of cardio... around 3 hours per week at 80-90% MHR... i'm kinda thinking of this as my "time off"... taking a break for a while. i already last 22 lbs since i left for malaysia in late august. i'm planning on losing another 15 lbs which'll put me in the middle weight class (80 kg)... i'm not focusing on the eastern province, but since i got 3rd last year in the national championship, i'm planning on taking the gold home this year in the heavyweight class (90 kg). Also, i've cancelled my deal with skip... I have my reasons... i don't care to discuss them, but i'll just say that i knew where it was going and it wasn't for me. I tried that method before and it ruined my body completely. so, i'm gonna do everything on my own from now on. I will also go back to my old way of training, bulking and then cutting and then 8-10 weeks of rest and focusing on health. That's how i grew to the 85 kg class... and that's how i'll grow into the super heavyweight class in 3 or 4 years...

Operation "Raw Deal"

If you haven't heard of it, just google it. If you can't see that this operation was conducted to:

1- make the DEA look good because they were doing the worst job ever fighting real drugs
2- pharmaceutical companies not getting a cut of the action

i know some of you might think i have these conspiracy theories and shit... but lets face it... why is NARCOTIC drug use on the rise and then the DEA focuses all of it's investigations (18-24 months worth) on shutting down china, mexico, and the anabolic steroid market in the USA? does that make any sense whatsoever? other than that, more "rejuvination" clinics that basically sell steroids to old people (yes, because they have a lot of health benefits) are losing business because people were starting to buy 1 gram of testosterone for 70 cents, when it was being sold in the clinics (that only sell Schering, Pfizor and upjohn test) for $100... also, Growth Hormone was being sold at an average of $1.2 per iu in the black market, while it was being sold at these anti-aging clinics (Pharmaceutical brands) for $40+ per iu.... It's pathetic... america is becoming so pathetic, it's not even funny. Times like these, i'm happy i live in this country. pretty soon bodybuilding will be "illegal" in the united states. oh yeah, congress is working on making creatine a "prescription" supplement...

Why do people want to live longer?

seriously, ask yourself... why do you want to live longer? do you have a certain purpose in life? do you want to bring happiness to other people's lives? or are you just afraid of not existing anymore? I really don't get it... why don't people focus on quality instead of quantity? For instance... i smoke... i love smoking cigarettes... especially when i have nothing else better to do. i have some obese people, who eat like shit, have a 99% chance of dying of a heart attack in the next 3 minutes, and exercised for a total of 3 minutes in their entire lives come and harrass me for smoking and lecture me about "how it'll kill me and makes me look older".... am i hurting anyone by smoking? is it releasing some stress? yes, it'll probably kill me in 90 more years... but it makes me happy... i exercise and diet not because i want to live a longer and healthier life... NO! i do it because it makes me happy and i'm not hurting anyone by doing that... making me live longer is just another plus (or minus to some people)... some people choose drinking, some smoke pot.. i don't care for that shit... and i think it's wrong... not because it'll rot your liver or fuck up your lungs and brain... but because you won't be able to think straight when you do those things... what i'm trying to say is, everybody has his poison. as long as it's not hurting anyone around them, and it makes him happy... i say to hell with it and keep on doing it... just my point of view, not a fact. So, if you have another point of view, post it in the comments... if you're gonna start saying "you're wrong, this is not right, people should try their best to live healthy lives becusae that's what god wants." please don't... i'm only interested in points of view and not some "fabricated fact" that you were brain washed into believing... if i wanted fabricated facts i'd go to the religious police and ask them to tell me what they think about women.
