Pre-contest training preparation

In light of my latest training goal, I've been spending some time thinking about how I am going to challenge my body to move up to the next level so that I can be as competitive as possible come contest day in November.

Thinking about my physique and what the judges have been suggesting I work on, I'm leaning toward the following split:

Day 1: Arms (Bi's / Tri's / Forearms) + Calves + Cardio
Day 2: Chest + Quads
Day 3: Back + Hams + Calves
Day 4 Arms 2
Day 5: Shoulders (Delts + Traps) + Calves
Day 6: Cardio as needed / Rest
Day 7: Rest

From this split you can see that I really want to bring up my quads, hams, calves and arms. My chest and back dial in so readily, that I fear I'll over work them.

My goal weight for this show is going to be 182-184. That should put me in the light heavy weight arena.

After this show, I most likely won't compete again until mid-May next year for the NGA 2010 Heart of America.

What do you think?
