Ready to rumble!

Two weeks out and I’m 296 pounds. Looking forward to going home and
buckling down. This is where I want to be right now. In my wildest fantasy I
was in the 290s heading into the Olympia, and I’m on par to do that. Still
don’t know if it will happen or not. I’ve been trying to be 290 for the past
two and a half years. Something always goes wrong at the end. I haven’t been
in the 290s this far out though. 288 is the heaviest I’ve been. I’m only
eating twice per day right now, so really I’m two meals away from 300
pounds.

Mentally, I’ve never been this focused. I don’t want to sound crazy, but in
all honesty, this is the first year I’ve been a bodybuilder 100 percent. I’m
blessed genetically. I will admit that as far as being lean goes. I’m not
talking about contest. I’m talking about walking around – it’s not that hard
for me to keep a decent amount of body fat and I’ve used that as a crutch in
the past. This year, I didn’t bank on my genetics. I did the work. I ate the
meals. I did the cardio. I lifted the weights. The results speak for
themselves.

I literally started my diet (my diet-diet) on August 15, and that’s not even
been a month yet. I started preparing for the Olympia on July 15, but the
first four weeks I was eating whatever. I’m in my fifth week of hardcore
dieting. Normally us pros diet 10-12 weeks. I’m not worn out. I’m eating
more than 3,000 calories per day and 4,000 on high days. I’m not hungry, but
I’m hungry for the Olympia.

Editors' note: There was an error in this entry that has been corrected but should be noted. Toney had only eaten twice at that point in the day, and a typo stated he was only eating two meals per day. That is erroneous. Toney eats every two to three hours.

^ i was thinking that is a mistake or something, 2 meals only, lol

thanks man.

ha yea I went back to flexonline and they added that to the bottom of the article. 2 meals a day would just be crazy.

saying 2 meals a day while looking like that is like michael phelps saying he won 8 gold medals while he was sober lol pothead

I almost believed that "I'm eating twice per day" thing, because 3000-4000 calories a day sounds too low for his size...even on a hard diet...I hope he doesn't lose too much muscle for the O...

Back to the grind: 12 days till Xmass!!

About two weeks from today I’ll be on stage at the O, and I’m still 295-296
pounds. Felt like I got hit by a car when I woke up this morning because of
all the stuff we did at the FLEX photo shoot yesterday – but it was worth it
because we got some really cool stuff. We ended up doing traps, back,
shoulders, bi’s and tri’s, and today we did quads, hams, glutes and abs.
That’s a lot of work!

So I’m going to fly home tonight, wake up in the morning at 6 a.m. and get
back on the stairmill. We’re also going to tighten the diet to straight fish
and veggies, potatoes and rice, fish and greens -- and water. Carbs will be
minimal.
