Forum: Contest Prep Journals

Wanted to keep up with the younger guys logging here, so I thought I'd start up a training journal for 2016. Background: I consider myself a "bodybuilder" first, but I'm also a strength competitor, part time crossfitter and a part of the supplement industry (full disclosure, VP Sales BPI...

Hello Everyone, So if anyone is familiar with the youtube community they know about Chris Jones POG and Matt Ogus LOA and there feud they had. They were suppose to go head to head but Chris bailed out. I have decided to take it upon myself and go up against Matt Ogus next time he competes. I know...

For those of you who are unfamiliar me, my name is Adam Pfau. I recently finished my prep for 2 INBF shows in which I was hoping to win a pro card. I was unsuccessful in my attempt but achieved way more than I could have hoped. I gained 7 pounds of stage weight in a year while also improving my...

I've gotten the green flag to start cutting for the Emerald Cup coming at the end of April. So I figured I would try to keep myself accountable by logging everything from macros, food choices, program, and measurements that I use. I will post photos, videos, and anything else y'all want to see form...

Making the Transition From bodybuilding to powerlifting. This was the main reason for starting a fresh log. I won't copy the links here, but my bodybuilding contest prep and post season logs are on these boards. After 9-10 months of the beginning of a planned long offseason to become a...

New to the board, see the following post as a reference: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=3814831 Starting today I will log all workouts in here and include workout video links when possible. To get this started i'll post existing video links (some old some recent) Old...

Hi Guys, Jeff here. I've registered for bodybuilding.com's $250k Transformation Challenge presented by Dymatize. While I really don't know how I'll do, I've decided to create a thread to log workouts, diet, diet changes, and link YouTube videos documenting my progress. Until my post count...

2015 Offseason Log to the Pro Stage Introduction My name is Matt Hilliard, I am 24 years old at the time of writing this and will be turning 25 within the next month. This will be my first official offseason after competing in my first bodybuilding competition this past season. Two weeks ago...

I have been wanting to start a log for a while now and I decided today was the day. A little background on myself I've been seriously lifting and watching my diet over the last year. I am active duty military so it can be hard sometimes to keep a strict diet and workout schedule during field...

Hello CP fam, its been awhile. After my last contest prep I stopped posting here, I haven't lifted seriously in nearly 6 months. I'm buttery and out of shape, both strength and cardiovascular wise. I switched careers, left my old gym of 7 years, lost my lifting partner, and fell into a rut when...

Consistent lurker and occasional poster checking in. A little backround about myself. I have competed in two natural shows over the past 4 years. One unsanctioned event where i place 3rd and one smallish OCB show where I won the overall. During this time i have also been competing in...

Hello, Age:25 Height 5'3 Weight: 149lbs BF: 18% I am closing my bulk stage for the Asf2016 and beginning a slow cut, "prep" process. I have a nutrition certification and degree in Exercise, but every sport is it's own animal so that is why I am seeking feedback on my program that...

Ok, so I’m starting this log because I’ve recently started a new job and it’s really testing my commitment to the gym. WARNING: novel Background: been in the gym for 13 years now. Started at the age of 16 and took my random 3 and 4 months off a couple times for the first 3 years. I got...

I am working towards taking the stage in my very first pro bodybuilding event. I'm just coming off an open class win in the tall class (NABBA doesn't have weight classes), in which I nabbed myself a pro-card (good for 2 years). The first NABBA professional event is coming up on November 10th in...
