    Carlman's Journey into the next weight class.

    I have decided that my problem over the past 4 years is that I have been contest dieting most of it, and thats why I am not getting any BIGGER. So...


    I made up my mind that this year (2008) I will not step on stage.
    I am dedicating all my efforts into "powerbuilding" as I will call it.
    All exercises all year long will be heavy and intense, VERY limited days with light work outs.
    I most likely will not post any of my diet until it comes time at the end of the year to cut since it can be so critical.

    My goal:

    To move up to lightweight class.
    I will NOT compete until I feel comfortable enough as a true lightweight.


    THE JOURNEY STARTS NOW!
    Every day counts.

    I'll try my best to remember as much as I can from work out to workout.
    Maybe I will take a logbook to the gym, I have never done that though.

    Sounds like a plan

    Sounds like you have put some serious thought into this Carl. I am definitely subscribed and look forward to seeing you make some significant gains for 2008. Look forward to meeting you at the Arnold!
    Patience and perserverance are the keys to surmounting difficulty.

    Great workout, congrats on the 225 squats.

    Can't relate to wanting to gain weight, but I will definitely keep reading your journal to learn something.
    Yorkshireman I: Right! I had to get up in the morning, at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay mill-owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!

    Yes, I did put a ton of thought into it. But the decision was not as hard as I thought it would be. Definitly when it gets closer to the Arnold I'll pm you with my phone #

    Hammies and glutes very sore.
    Quads and calves not as sore.

    ***Add an extra set to quads and calves next work out.

    Glad to find another "small" guy to learn from and keep me motivated. I saw where you have competed in OH and KY...where are you loacated?

    Sorry for the newb ???, but what is the lightweight limits??

    Good luck and careful with your joints. That is why I am still where I am today.

    A step backwards is better than a setback.

    If this (insert whatever trivial thing that is upsetting me) is the worst thing to happen today, I'm going to have a great day.

    Lightweight class is above 143 1/4 to 154 1/4

    All my NPC shows were as Bantamweight, Up to and including 143 1/4

    I Have a buddy that quit working out because of his joints.
    He started to take some OTC supplements and he is back at it and bigger than ever. I'll get a hold of him and ask what it is that he is taking.

    I live in northern Ohio.

    Good Looking routine today.

    It always amazes me how long it takes me to get my full lifting power back after doing a show. For me I think I have to build up a bit of fat before I can really hit it hard.

    How is the diet going? Pounding the food or just monitoring it?
    Squat it does a body good!

    I am hoping in about 6 months I will be back to benching 225 for reps of 5.
    Wishful thinking? We'll see. I am thinking of doing a 2 day on 1 day off.
    I will make up my mind later today, I never have done that.

    Lets just say I pretty much have been dieting since 2002 - to a couple weeks ago for the most part...

    I am not really monitoring my carbs or fat intake. I am making sure that I get enough protein a day though. Hell, when my wife picks up Mc Donalds for the kids I tell her to pick me up a meal. or on Friday night I'll have a few pieces of pizza with the kids on pizza night, BUT I will wash it down with a protein drink. In a month or so I will go to a real "CLEAN BULK" diet. Mainly potatoes and rice without the junk (ok maybe occasionally). I still stay away from the chips and stuff like that for the most part.
    Every day counts.

    Seriously, I've kept paper logs for all 19 years of training. They have paid huge dividends.

    The product is called Move Free. After seeing dramatic size gain in my friend
    I believe that it really helped him since b4 using it he couldn't lift as heavy.

    I have been on a 4 day split with a day off between splits. I think I am going to make it another day in the middle with a day off. Still the 4 different workouts but 2 on 1 off. Since I feel sore a couple days after my leg workout after lifting heavier than I have for a long time. I think the extra day rest will be a good idea to change up as well.
    Every day counts.

    Thanks for the link.

    My legs are also very sore after my workouts. 4 days after my leg workout, my legs are still affecting me when I deadlift. I have been hitting legs hard because my lower joints have been fine. The next couple of months I'm slacking on legs and hitting upper body hard to see if my shoulder can handle it again.

    You'll hit the 225# for 5 quicker than you think.

    A step backwards is better than a setback.

    If this (insert whatever trivial thing that is upsetting me) is the worst thing to happen today, I'm going to have a great day.

    2 on 1 off

    I spontaniously decided today to start weight training 2 days on 1 day off.
    I will keep the 4 day split (2 muscle groups per day) but just a day rest inbetween. I figure since I am pushing more weight around than I have in a looong while the rest will be a good thing.

    I have gained a few more pounds than I wanted to so, I did 30 minutes of cardio today without weight training. For the next 2 weeks I am going to add 20 minutes of cardio after each workout and 40 minutes of cardio on non training days and see what happens.
    Every day counts.

    Oh the Joy of Bulking...Free Range eating.

    That is half the fun of the bodybuilding thing... The eating...

    Cardio?? What is that?

    I too am doing a 4 day split, across 6 days, 2 on..1 off. 1 on...1 off..1 on... 2 off. It allows me to really hit it hard and recover for the next Bodypart.
    Squat it does a body good!

    No injuries but I did get really bad sharp pains in my knees. a few years back.
    Doctor says I have patellafemoral syndrome. When the femor and knee cap scrape against each other. I decided to do heavy leg presses which did not hurt my knees as much. Doc says I can get some type of surgery or rehab.
    I decided to do my own rehab, which seems to work because...

    NOW I don't have much pain at all and did not during the squats the other day which makes me .

    Now as long as I feel real good, hopefully I can get back to the heavy (heavy for me anywhey ) squats. Although the leg presses really did help build some good muscle on my wheels over the past two years.
    Every day counts.

    If I don't like whats going on in the next 6 weeks I just might do your
    2 on..1 off. 1 on...1 off..1 on... 2 off. Although I might get a little stir crazy with the 2 off.

    Cardio is that machine that i get on and do my deep thinking.

    Excuse me while I go raid the fridge. I'll grab something good just for you!
    Then it's nighty night time.
