Derek Charlebois' Contest Prep Thread- The Return of the Beast

Working alongside Marc while prepping for his competitions has motivated me to follow his lead and "put my money where my mouth is" and get back on stage. My goal is to come in at the top of the light-heavies. This means I need gain 10-15 lbs of lean mass this off-season, which begins tomorrow

I strongly believe in the Scivation product line and diet strategies and feel people will benefit by watching me prepare to compete over this next year. I hope that reading my journal will give people new information and strategies to apply to themselves and their progress. This section has grown into something great; a helpful, friendly support group. The amount of logs in this forum has exploded, which makes me happy. If you look at any of the logs in this section you will see nothing but positive comments and advice/suggestions to help the logger improve.

Marc and I share a common goal; qualify for national NPC competition. This is step one in our progression. Step two is to compete nationally. Step three is to earn our pro cards. As you follow along in this journal feel free to ask questions as the goal of this journal is to not only keep me motivated and organized but also to help others reach their goals. My journal back to the competitive stage starts tomorrow!

great. I always loved following your logs, even back in the days of old school Max-OT in 2001! Reason being it's always a valuable learning experience for me and gives me ideas to try out myself.

Mass time baby!

Good to see you getting back in the competitive swing of things mate (yes from Australia). What sort of approach you gonna take this time around, body parts 2 X or 1 X a week? High or low volume? I think myself and everyone else is dying to see what the mastermind has in store this time!

**ChokeOnStrength** · 09-16-2007, 10:03 PM

The beast has reawakened!!!!

**PeteCraig** · 09-17-2007, 03:03 AM

Hey Derek, Just wondering if your still able to hit the weights as hard as you used to these days? Didn't you have to stop heavy Squats and Deadlifts for a while because of Back problems? And if so will this prevent you from reaching your peak condition this time arround?

**bucsfan** · 09-17-2007, 07:23 AM

sounds great Derek! Cant wait to see the video shoot to!

**Lando33** · 09-17-2007, 07:51 AM

Right now I am going to be hitting each muscle 1X a week with high volume.

My back is better now and I am starting to build my strength back up. I was deadlifting 405 this morning

You guys are looking fantastic! It'll be very interesting to follow along with your progress. A pro card is definitely in your future!

**cobain67** · 09-17-2007, 02:01 PM

Hey Derek, do you feel you can/will make equal progress training each part once/week with high volume vs. training twice/week as you previously have?

I think so. At this point in my development I pretty much have to hammer each muscle to make it grow. I think an upper/lower 2X a week program is great to build a base but there are times when higher volume is needed and it is hard to hit a muscle multiple times a week while using high volume.
