2008 Arnold 5K Pump and Run

KickerNine · 25-Feb-08, 08:59 AM

This year's competition is this upcoming Sunday, March 2 in Columbus, Ohio. Unfortunately, my training has been not up to par with previous years' training. Hoping to weigh in at 185 (down from 207.5 on January 1). Lifting has been more consistent than cardio training and it will probably show in my results. Aiming for a PR in bodyweight bench reps (more than 27) and a sub-24 minute 5K (last year I was under 22 minutes - a PR). Last year I weighed in at 173.6, which helped on the run but I lost too much muscle for the lift. Hoping for a top 25% finish.

Also looking forward to watching the USAPL powerlifting competition and Benny Magnusson in the strongman competition at the Arnold Fitness Expo. Should be a great weekend.
