GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!! 2011 contest prep journal
So the time has come and another season is rapidly approaching, and as I gear up for my next round of shows I figured It was time to start another journal. I've had an 18month long offseason where I focused primarliy on bringing up my back and hamstrings, never missing a workout and eating my way to a fairly respectable 215lbs.
I feel I've made some major improvements to my physique as well as some of my core lifts. Some Pr's from this offseason were DL 425x4 (+ 110lbs from previous off season) Bench 285x5 (+ 60lbs from previous off season) and Squat 425x2 (+175lbs from previous offseason).
My main training style is a HIT Hybrid where I implement its basic principles (good form, slow negatives and intesity boosters), but I try to hit a few different rep ranges per body part (4-6, 8-10, 12-15) with about 8-10 sets per large muscle groups and 6-8 sets per smaller muscle group.
I am starting 18 weeks out from my first show and about 24 weeks out from my last show.
Schedule is tentatively as follows.
INBA Iron Gladiator First week of April
NPC Orange County Third week of April
INBA So. Cal Second week of May
Starting Macro's are Pro 240 / Cho 340 / Fat 45
So, welcome to my journal. I hope to exchange a few laughs, share some opionions and make a few friends The time has come to
