Ok so instead of updating my thread in the open contest prep section I figured Id start a log to be a little more organized. Just to make things clear Im not as detailed as most of you guys in here. Ill try to update with as much info as possible but my crazy schedule doesnt really offer much time to sit down and document every little detail. So now that thats out of the way here are a few details....
Ill be working mainly with Berto (Father Flex) and the 3DMJ crew. The main show Im hitting is the 2011 NPC "Natural" Western in Mesa, AZ March 12. Im also planning on possibly hitting another NPC show in San Diego the following weekend and another in Culver city the weekend after that. Depending on how those shows go I might try to stretch it out and hit the NGA California in June.
I started dieting 25 weeks out from the Mesa show in order to get myself in a better spot and started working with 3DMJ 18 weeks out at 193lbs.
Training: I was doing a Power/Hyper split but have moved to a more conventional routine hitting everything once a week.
Cardio: Currently doing 350kcals MISS 4 times a week.
Diet: Currently 2050kcals (50f, 200c, 200p) This has slight fluctuations throughout the week due to changes in food selection.
Current status: Im a little over 8 weeks out and today weighed in at 174.8lbs
Lets do dis!
This pic was taken 10 weeks out at a weight of 178lbs

8 weeks to go! Had a very large weight drop this week of almost 5lbs. Down to 172.8 this morning. We moved my cardio to first thing in the morning fasted (w/ aminos) and dropped carbs slightly. So after this week we decided to take cardio down to 3 sessions, lower the intensity a smidge and add 15CHO back in to slow things down a bit. Im just glad to see some progress because the last couple weeks seemed slow quite a bit. For some reason I felt like doing deads yesterday after not for over a year. Worked my way up to 405 for 5 reps but my hams failed FAST. Did a couple sets like that then dropped to 315 and hammered a few like that. Just felt like changing things up a tad. That explosive energy is slowly declining. All in all I think this was a great week progress wise even though I had a lot of other things going on. Just a couple pics.....Got to get me a new camera one of these days. Its like 4 years old and it was prob 40 bucks back then lol.

I did the same show last year (March 13) and starting dieting October so maybe 6 or so months. Not much time really to make improvements size wise. What I did do was track my macros the whole offseason and ate about 500 over maintanence. I did induldge from time to time but I didnt make it a habit. Kept my weight under 200lbs and "casually" dieted to lower 190s before I really committed to the show and went into full prep mode, and Im glad I did it that way because I put myself in a WAY better starting point than last time. I have already surpassed my best conditioning and have 8 weeks to go.
