20 Weeks out and counting!

Quick Post:

Started eating clean again this week. Been doing an improptu split for the most part:

Chest / Triceps

Back / Biceps

Been doing 6 meals a day, ~35-40g of protein, 20g of fat and veggies.

My body is really not loving the macronutrients lol! I feel bloated all the time but progress will come with consistency!

Pics starting next week! This week I just want to get in 4 solid days of training, cardio and eating clean!

Ciao!

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?

Breaking News!

It's official! I will be competing once more this year!

I'll be competing in the 2010 OCB Midwest states!
