About Me
Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my 2014 contest prep log! Most of you in the section know me but for those of you who don't my name is JP Faherty. I'm a 30 year old natural bodybuilder and powerlifter. My rookie season in natural bodybuilding was 2012 in which I competed in two shows the OCB Pine Tree State and the OCB Spirit of America. Highlights from these shows was First place novice and 3rd place in my open class.
This will be my second contest prep journal on the forums, you can see my previous prep in the link below;

This was a picture from my last show;
This is my offseason log which my primary focus was powerlifting and physique building;

Here is the video from my last powerlifting show this past weekend
The Plan
My coach is Matt Jansen from INOV8 Elite Performance. I will be prepping for 24 and 28 weeks. The two shows I'm competing in are the OCB Boston Battle and the OCB Cape Cod Classic. I have received my initial nutrition from Matt and will have my first training session on Wednesday of this week. I won't give all my macro updates but I figured putting them in here and there would be informative for you guys. With that said, my starting training day macros are 60/300/220 - I expect the initial macros will bring noticeable changes but we shall see
Here's a few starting pics;

New log for a new prep showing off all your hard earned new gainz!
Great job on the PL meet over the weekend. So great that you share PL with your wife. Sam really killed it as did you!

Thanks Laura! Glad to have your support
LOL - PL Will always be there!
I like that we have shows the same weekend, support each other to the finish line!
She is still PL. She has no desire to compete. Her next meet will probably be in October where hopefully she qualifies to compete at the Arnold in February. I doubt she'd ever start a log, but ya never know, ill ask!★★★ RSP Nutrition Lead Representative ★★★
