The best part is I'm only ~10lbs over stage weight and actually hitting all time prs. Hoping to work my food even higher before all is said and done.
    I've been following your posts on your strength gains, sounds like you are tearing it up man. You've definitely put in some disciplined, hard work this offseason man. And you still have a year till 2014! You're definitely going to bring your best to the pro stage.

    Occlusion killed me the past couple of days! Yesterday was an arm workout, did 1 set of occlusion for both bi's and tri's and then 6 more working sets for each part. Today I had lower body which included

    Deadlifts (from floor) -my right lower back/hip felt pretty okay today so I decided to try from the floor instead of the rack like I've been doing. Foam rolling and stretching daily is probably helping out with this. Hopefully I can start feeling a lot better and improve my deadlift game. Have always had setbacks in the deads department.
    220x5;255x5;290x14
    glute ham raises; bwx10x3
    seated hamstring curls; 110x12x1; 110x12x1+RPx3
    Walking DB lunges; 65x10steps/legx3
    occluded leg extensions; death
    calves

    great workout this morning, time to eat and grow these legs. I want them to be freaking massive onstage, jaw dropping. I'm visualizing them how I want to see them onstage and praying that God will blow my own expectations away.

    Haha I've seen your vids benching man, you're putting up bigger #'s than that! My strength is finally starting to head in the right direction-hormones are back to normal for the most part. Eh, the 2,650 is alright, I'm sitting around 173-174 with it right now. My weight is up too, but I'm still very lean...not contest lean, but you get the picture haha. My offseason weight may be a little heavier than I initially intended ;p. You gonna shoot for that 230? haha

    Haha well let's not forget I was clinically obese when I hit 365 on bench Right now I'm about 177 but only good for 225x9. I don't plan on getting that heavy again, honestly the only way I would is if I was hitting consistent PRs and showed no signs of slowing down LOL... Other than that, 220 was just downright ugly! And I most certainly will not start contest prep that far off of stage weight...bleh. By this time 2 years ago I was already up in the high 180s after competing at the Midwest States, so definitely set up for success this time around. What is your highest offseason weight?

    That's awesome man, making progress each year. My heaviest offseason weight was 215 which is what I weighed in February of last year, started cutting in Feb and 1 then once I got down to 181 decided to hire Layne. But I basically spent an entire year, not growing...simply maintaining...that's no way to spend a whole year! haha. I learned my lesson.

    Been really busy lately with a few projects, here is my workout for today

    OHP 105x5;115;5;130x13
    T-Bar Rows 150x12x4; 150x8+RP 100x5
    Underhand Pulldown 150x10x2; 150x8 +RP 120x5
    DB Incline Press 85x10x5

    All my lifts are improving one way or another so I am pretty excited about that. Will continue progressively overloading something I was not tracking during my last off-season. I am definitely feeling the benefits

    For the next week I'm not going to have any re-feed days for 2 reasons 1) I want to see where staying at 2,800 cals will do for my body weight so I can get a better idea of where my caloric surplus will be to start my gaining phase. 2) I'm not controlling my re-feeds as much as I need to be. So this week my macros will be around: 70F 320C 225P. My re-feeds thus far have only been on lower body days and I can tell it's working well for my legs. But I want EVERYTHING to be growing from a slight surplus each day, not just re-feeds on leg days. This will help me have a better idea for my gameplan. It's been just over 9 weeks from my last contest.

    Today's workout:
    Flat Bench: 205x3; 235x3; 265x11
    Barbell Incline Press: 195x10x2; 195x9; 195x8 + rest pause x2
    Weighted Dips: BW + 55 x12x4; BW + 55x10 + rest pause x2
    Weighted Pull-ups (need to step it up here) BW + 20 x10x3
    Cybex Pull-down 160x12; 160x10 + RP 120x4 (incredible mmc on this machine, great squeeze at the bottom, very smooth movement)

    haha yea man. Putting myself on a slight caloric surplus on all days...or at least trying. It's only day 4 on 3,000 so we will see. weight has stayed in the 178 range. I'll do a cheat meal every week though. My friends and brother have always made it a big event when we can go out for a cheat meal haha. Those 3 days sound a lot better though...haha

    Yeah it's a trade-off for me. I'm pretty much starving come bed time when I'm at 2600 cals. But those cheat days make it all worth it...*sigh*....LOL!
