Road to the Stage
 

Starting a journal to log the journey for the rest of the time I have before I hit the stage for 2013

HugeTom has provided me with fantastic service and products as usual

Have some good sus and tren from kalpa.

will be switching esters as I get closer to the show, as well as adding mast and oral WV to bring out the hardness

right now training is going well, no injuries, or set backs thus far. train 4x per week, back/ chest shoulders/ arms, abs/ leg split
arm day is kind of a waste of time, but dont want to leave them out
cardio has picked up a little, but still at 3-4 times per week @ 30 min

each day consists of 50 grams of protein per meal and @ 50 carbs unless those meals will be containing carbs only from vege. Usually those are first or last meal of the days on off lifting days, or days I feel like i don't need the carbs
Saturdays is a big refeed where as many carbs as I can eat is the menu for the day

starting point was here

Good luck bro, will be following

one thing worth noting. usually have tremendous cough for about 5 min upon administration. this go round, not once has it happened.
pleasant when you dont weeze while in the middle of it

cardio is up a little bit more then in the past.
trying to get glutes to come in for the first time
may have to give up some size :mad::mad:but I know what i need to do to win.
not having enough detail in the hams and glutes has held me back to this point, so would like to see a bit a change in that area

Your starting point pic is going to be my after pic in about 5 years.

dont sell yourself short. i think it was great lighting

Hey bro good luck hope you win your show always a nice guy on here :) will be watching this might pick up some tips ;)

I dont know @ that nice guy thing:D

Hahaha guess it depends how much tren your smaching in :P lol

This is gonna be very interesting read.

May you post any pics of products sir?

Good luck on competition. I am excited as well, I want you to win :cool:

...gbn....

Im going to take a guess of mastron, Test, Tren and winny?? :P

that means a lot to me
would have had zero chance without your guidance and quality business practices

Dont take this the wrong way man, But are you saying Leg day is a waste of time? Or am I just reading that wrong... To each is own im just wondering?

No mate he was talkin about arm day :)

......................

::::::::::::::::

Well then that says it all :P reat arms mate

dont want it to sound like my arms are so good, far from it. i just feel I get more out of heavy back and chest then single joint curls and pressdowns.

makes me feel like it cannot be doing anything when I am deciding which cable attachment to use!!!!!!!!

When I see people doing a single arm cable pushdown with 50 pounds, and I look at their arms, I know this is how mine must look as well.:confused:

There was a long while I didnt do shoulders, bi's or tri's. just focused on the bigger bodyparts and pushed as hard as i could go. i made some decent progress
Maybe I would have made more, but I was stuck for a while, so it made a huge difference in progressing for me

You did what worked for you with fine results. To each his own, we know ourselves, and as long as periodically question to further challenge, results will follow.

Hey man no i mean it your Bis and tris are huge! i mean it.

But i get what you mean after a hard back day your tris forearms can
be pretty trashed dont want to work them to much. good to give your whole
body or even one muscle group a bit of time off i do it a couple times a year might be a week or 2 then i get back and seem to get better results.
Ever try using more reps/sets with less weight? i get great results
and when i cut i can see a huge diffrence in my bodyparts even it its not a massive weight gain quality is what you want first imo. so its good to mix it up like some body parts might grow better with heavy training others with lighter trial and error thats what its all about no matter how much exp you have or how big you are.

I do high reps all the time
I would consider how I train powerbuilding, but I use high reps sets frequently. reps of 20 and 50 are not uncommon

reps of 50 squats are brutal at the end of a training session
leg presses are a little more safe for those, but doesnt cause as much over all pain

high reps/volume is rotated not for the workout, but rotated within the workout all the time
I may start with reps of 8-10 for 2 to 3 exercises, then transition into supersets with high reps and just challenge myself to got through fatigue and beyond to make sure I am really done

Not that I train instinctively as some would say, but I like to use variety after my major lifts are done, as well as change the order and intensity techniques to force change.

A lot of it was forced due to nicks and dings, but the jury is out on weather it is working for me

still incomplete:cool:

Oh wow i do something kinda the same legs do be dead and pumped to hell even after my warmup set lol good stuff mate :)

interesting thread bro.

this thread must have most views, add more pictures bro.

so, what is your cycle schedule sir?
I hope that is not a secret :)

been very ill. workouts have been rough, some have been skipped. spending time in the bathroom. Soon it will pass and will be back at it

I am pretty conservative relatively speaking, not shocking like some things you read

total is 1600 per week . classic prep stack used for competition

weight amazingly has stayed the same, but i know I have no food in my system (without getting to graphic)
myb the fever will help bf% go down:o:o

I am contributing the weight to a little water retention. body is dehydrated obviously, so must be holding on to whatever I can to stay afloat.

wouldnt be a bad guess

@ 2 weeks ago

again 2 weeks ago
this week sux

Get better soon bud. yeah i know some guys who use a crazy amount of gear they look great but for what they are using ud expect them to be at lest 300lb and lean lets put it this way this is what he was on blew my mind.
1.5gs of test per week, 1g of tren per week, 300mgs of oxys a day, 4tabs of T3 a day 30-40 iu of insulin a day and DNP with the insulin to keep fat gains down that is alot of stuff he waa 238pound bf 8-9% and 5 foot 8 or 9 i think. that is a shit ton of gear :/

remember though, comparing amounts is never wise to do. what someone uses is not always what is effective

the most simple way is to start at a certain amount
get the most out of it. bleed it dry. when you cannot progress, increase
increase food, training, gear, all of the above whatever.

following someone else strategy is a recipe for failure. people jump up too fast, and never get what they can out of 500-750-1000 etc.

plus goals are different, so how can anyone really follow anybody else's plan unless they have the same exact goals and the same structure. And even that doesnt really mean much as 2 individuals who do the same thing will look totally different
Plus everybody lies about how they use or how much they lift, or how little cardio they do, so how do you really know what is truth

Oh i know mate just saying people go way over board with some things id rather eat more and push myself a bit more than jab an extra .5-1ml more :)
atm im on 250mgs of test with 250mgs of tren its a mix first time with tren so if im ok with it around week 3 im going to up it to 1.5 ml instead of 1ml. i grow and cut i use my food and rest to power my growth

nothing fancy. never skipped when i started. wasnt a guy that just did upper body and skipped leg day
I just pound them as hard as I can with as much weight as I can

anyways my hams are terrible, trying to bring them up to match, so we all have our strengths and weakness

Dam right i get mad when people dont do legs unless they cant like major joint problems.

maxed out the hack squat machine. found out it holds 6 plates per side
going to be a good week

almost @ weight ..getting close.
