Marc Lobliner's Contest Prep Thread (new pics added 6-3-08)

[Scivation]

Hey marc, congrats on everything going great with the diet but i got a question. Are you trying to get to complete contest shape like 6 or so weeks out that way you can just maintain or loose a little more but really make sure you peak at the right time?

My MAIN goal is to get to 5% and hold it for 1.5 years by August. I might dial it in for a few shows in that time but will never break 6% or be further than 4 weeks out from a show. I have done it before and feel that with my diet and consistency that I can do this and still feel like a champ.

LOL, good update Marc. Have fun at the zoo! I haven't been to the zoo in years (leaves open for jokes).

It was a blast!

Dang marc, you are one strong mofo for sure. Even without carbs

I freaking hate carbs, but will elaborate in my update.

holy cow 375!!!!!! your a monster in a good way. I thought 315 max was good. . .

I was a very good powerlifter back in the day. Broke some records in Cali. WESTSIIIIIIIIIDE!

Chuck Rudolph is a GENIUS!

My brother is in town and we went to the zoo yesterday. I must have walked for miles in the HOT NC sun all day. It was an awesome time and Kami had a blast! I ate clean the whole day...



As for Chuck being a genius, I was traveling a lot so I have been doing no carbs and no carb meals. Chuck told me that as soon as I got leaner, I'd plateau and I would need the carb meals to keep it cranking. He was RIGHT! I plateaued at 190. I had my carb meal last night, sweat a lot, and now know that come tomorrow or the next day, I will be down 2-3 pounds.

Now I know the the LEANER I get, the more imperative it is for me to have carb meals EXACTLY as laid out in the book. When I am over 6.5% bodyfat, I can get lean and feel GREAT on no carbs at all. Once I get to below that, it is time for the every-18th-meal carb meal. This is what will make me a force to be reckoned with on October 20.

Today, my brother and I trained chest. We did 10 rep bench press for 4 work sets and then went to incline smith machine press. We loaded on 185 and just did sets with no rest. We must have done 12 sets! We then did flys, some shoulders and some traps.

SHRED TIME BABY--Cut Diet 4 Life!

Again very impressive. You are like an inspiration to many of us. Not only are you running an amazing company, but you also are a freak (good way of course ) in the gym and with your resposiblities to your family and loyalty to your diet.

Keep up the good work man!

Great job man, its still learning the body but your body NEEDED those carbs big time, you could just see it in your lowered density and fullness of the muscles.

We are excited, but it is still very early in the pregnancy so I am not making a huge deal about it. I wasn't going to tell anyone yet, but you guys are like family.

Congrats Marc,

Now you'll have a training partner for Kami

[Scivation]

That was the whole point. I told my wife we cannot expect Kami to reach her full anabolic potential without a consistent training partner.

Then, we made a baby.

Marc, you ever do your carb meals on off days? Or just manage them around days you workout?

On the Cut Diet, carb meals have NOTHING to do with being on a workout day or not.

[arizbiz]

Yea, i know the science behind the cut diet. I was wondering because in earlier posts you have said you dont even need carbs until you were really lean (strict cut diet), and earlier (maybe a two months ago) you were having cheat meals/refeeds (loose cut diet) instead of the strict cut diet so I was wondering when you actually took them in. I should have been more clear in the first post

Oh, I had no carbs at all for about three or four weeks. Now I am very lean and need to carb meals to keep the fat loss humming along!

I have not cheated in months other than my wife's birthday.

[arizbiz]

Three to four weeks, WOW....I go two weeks at a time and just do it because its been two weeks...maybe ill try and go longer until I get really lean.......congrats on the new child on the way as well

[gainmusclefast]

i definately need mine every 18th meal haha

[Jimmy Smith]

Thanks!
