    Saturday Morning Weight: 169.9lbs



    After being stuck at 167-168lbs for about 5 weeks, I've gained 1.7lbs in the past 2. I'm going to have to keep an eye on this because if it continues to go up this fast I may have to cut back food a bit. Either way, I think I'm still looking reasonably lean, am ~10-11lbs over my absolute depleted prep low and ~9-10lbs over of my carbed up stage weight, and this is what I was weighing about 8-9wks out this past year. Also, it has been 23wks since I won my pro card so I can't complain.

    12-1 Saturday:

    Diet: 202.5gP, 445.5gC, 76gF
    6:30am 3oz chicken, 1 1/2c rice, 1c brocolli, 1oz fat free cheese, 6oz raspberries, multi, 2 fish oils
    9:00-10:30am Core ABC, creatine
    11:00am 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1oz fat free cheese, 4 pieces low cal bread, apple, 3oz salad mix, waldon farms, 1c skim milk, 1 serving quakes
    3:00pm 1 scoop whey, 1 1/2c rice, 1c brocolli, 1oz fat free cheese
    7:00pm SEE BELOW - 4oz beef, 1 pieces low-fat cheese, pickle, low carb bun, 400g little red pot, 1T olive oil, 3oz salad mix, waldon farms
    10:00pm 1oz natty pb, 1 tsp sugar free jelly, 2 pieces low cal bread, 1/2c skim milk, 2 serings low-fat ice cream, 1c cherios

    Water: 1.25 gallons
    Sleep: 8 1/2hrs


    Workout: 260x4 on my 7th set of bench, 85s for 4 sets of 4 db shoulder press, arms, calves




    Burger - 4oz 90/10 beef, 1 pieces low-fat pepperjack cheese, pickle, and mustard on a low carb bun
    Fries - 400g little red potatoes, 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, cayene pepper dipped in mustard

    Macros: 47gP, 99gC, 22gF





    Solid workout. My bench isn't progressing quite as fast as my squat/dead; however, I'm still making progress. It isn't all time pr strength yet, but I'm not far off which is awesome since I'm ~25lbs lighter.

    I also did some looking back and in 3 months since starting to work with Dr. Mike Zourdos here is my progress:

    Bodyweight: 162-163 to 169-170lbs
    Squat: 350x1 to 375x5
    Bench: 250x1 to 260x4
    Deadlift: 435x1 to 420x7

    Even with rebounding from coming off a contest prep, that is still some really good progress.

    Thanks! I actually had 2 months of training after my contest before starting to work with Dr. Z. Either way, this is by far the strongest lb for lb I've ever been. I had a 3 lift total of 1260 at 195lbs end of my last offseason. These days I'm probably roughly 1200 at 170lbs which still blows my mind.

    Thanks! He has definately found a way to increase my strength that is for sure. My lb for lb strength is better than it has ever been and I'll soon be hitting all time bests at a significantly lower bodyweight.

    I also noticed that this thread is at over 10,000 views in 5 months. I'm shocked this many people are following along and appreciate all of the support. Thanks again for following along and hopefully I don't disappoint!

    Thanks for the support! I've always said that I may not have the best genetics for this sport and I may never beat anyone at the pro level; however, when all is said and done I want to be able to look back and think that I maximized my phisque as much as possible given my genetics and that I did everything possible to improve.

    Thanks Josh! I can tell you for a fact that the first 6-10 weeks are extremely difficult; however, if you stick it out for those first couple months, you will be set up for an extremely productive offseason/next contest prep.

    I actually have several logs going back to 2004 or so I think. Some of my older logs were a bit more brotastic, but it is fun to look back and see progress. Thanks for following along!

    I ran PHAT during my last prep then switched to 5/3/1 for 2 months coming out of my contest. However, I have been running DUP with Dr. Mike Zourdos since the beginning of September.

    Oh thats right! I remember seeing something about that on FB. Without giving away how Dr. Z runs his programs, do you mind giving us a basic structure of what you're doing?

    DUP has been going awesome! I am the strongest I have ever been lb for lb and I have actually hit a couple of all time PR's recently on squat and deadlift despite being 25lbs lighter than the peak of my last offseason when I set most of my prs. I plan to run it for quite a while because I am really enjoying it and making progress. There is nothing more fun than squatting/deadlifting multiple times per week in my opinion.

    I could give you a run down, but I think this video will be more helpful than any explaination I give:

    This week has been a deload/taper. I have only trained 2 of the last 5 days and those workouts were low volume, low load, low rep. Heavy squats/deads tonight and bench tomorrow though and then I should be starting my 4th training block with Dr. Z next week.

    Thanks! I've been doing 200gP, 425-475gC, 75gF daily with no cardio so I can't complain.

    Been battling a head cold all week, but fortunately it has been a light week. Today (Friday) is the best I've felt all week, still not 100% healhty but close at least which is just in time for heavy squats/deads tonight. I remember Doug Miller posting a video of himself deadlifting 585x3 with a slight head cold so there is no reason I can squat/deadlift heavy with a slight head cold also.

    Amazing workout! Tied my all time pr of 425x1 on squats; however, I did it at a 25lb lighter bodyweight. I also hit 475x1 on deadlift afterwards which is by far the most I've ever pulled at this bodyweight. Finished with some weighted chins and calves. Satruday is max bench.

    Saturday Morning Weight: 170.0lbs



    Up just 0.1lbs this week so basically the same weight, but just enough to hit the 170lb barrier. I'm officially up ~10lbs from stage weight at this point, but am as strong as ever on squats and not far off of deads/bench. This is 25lbs lighter than last offseason when I started prep and set my all time prs so I can't complain about that. Going to keep it moving up slowly until 180lbs, take some pics, and assess from there.
