Today's Weight: 175lbs (+18lbs)
Today's Workout: Heavy Legs
Thoughts: Whatever cold I had didn't last long I felt much better today. I did my leg workout in reverse today and ended with squats and managed to set a new pr. Squatted 395lbs for 1 rep. My weight also shot up after taking two back to back days off.
So the last time I was 175lbs was roughly a year ago. Subtle differences, but definitely an improvement in a year's time.

Yesterday's Workout: Heavy Pull Day
Today's Workout: High Volume Push Day
Thoughts: I'm slowly making gains weight is starting to stabilize in the mid 170's for my 3100 daily caloric intake. Long story, but I managed to bend the bar when I was squatting the other day so I decided keep the bent bar around and call it the "u" bar. I video'd some "u" bar rows with it yesterday

Yesterday's Workout: High Volume Pull
Today's Workout: Heavy Push
Thoughts: Went to LA Fitness yesteday to do my back workout. Business as usual, but when I got back to my locker I noticed my stuff had been searched through. Apparently, someone jimmy'd open my lock then stole all my cash and credit cards. Really irritating and then spending half the day calling my banks, closing accounts, opening new accounts, changing account numbers with my eft's, getting temporary checks, etc. Just an all around hassle. Next time I go to a commercial gym I'm either leaving my important shyt at home or keeping it on me. Lesson learned.IFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Alright here it is my 90 day update and conclusion of my reverse diet. Now that I'm setting my daily caloric intake at 3100kcals for the rest of my offseason, I no longer consider this a reverse diet. Now it's just focusing on making gains lol

Thoughts: I'm kind of expecting the weight gain to kind of level off, but my strength is still going up and I'm still lean and that's what I'm after. I've been thinking about my pro debut next year and I'm debating whether I should compete in the end of July in Sacramento or end of August in Alabama for my IFPA debut. August would give me a little more time for my offseason/improvement season, but I think I'd rather go to Sacramento than Alabama. I'm also planning on competing in Vegas next September in a PNBA show.IFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Today's Workout: High Volume Pull
Thoughts: Workout went really well. Did a bit of cardio afterwards since I haven't done any in over a week. Cardio doesn't necessarily help me in my bulking efforts, but it does keep me healthier and more fit which is pretty important to me. Without good health, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing and it's also something I don't want to take for granted.IFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Today's Workout: Heavy Push Day
Thoughts: Had to back off the presses a bit today as it was aggravating my shoulder. It's starting to get cool here in the desert and it's not favorably towards my joints lol. And by cool I mean 60's during the day and 30's at night. The fact that I'm cold during this type of weather shows you how far removed I am from the winters I use to spend in Indianapolis lolIFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Thoughts: Carbs were a bit lower than usual and I ate dinner earlier than usual which is why I'm a bit on the lighter side today. Workout went well. Went up to 385lbs on squats and did it relatively easy for 1 rep. Didn't go higher today although I should have, but I was in a rush.IFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Today's Workout: Heavy Pulls
Thoughts: Well guys I'm proud to tell you that me and my wife are expecting again. Our expected due date is the beginning of July and we are super excited. This pretty much sums of the decision of whether to go to Cali or Alabama and compete. Looks like I'll be competing in the IFPA Pro Galaxy End of August to make my pro debut. I want everything to be situated at home before leaving for a few days and that's more likely to happen with a 6 week old baby than a literally a new born child.IFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Looks like you're in a really good spot man. 16lbs over and getting stronger is perfect. Great reverse, now it's time to get on the gain train

Thanks bro! Feels great to do a proper reverse. A few years ago I just binged post show and ended up in a worst spot then I started off at. Glad I did things differently this time I'm excited to see how much easier it will be to get leaner next prep.
Thanks man. I'm really hoping for a little girl, but more importantly a healthy happy baby.

My body was dragging, but my mindset was in the right place. Managed to pull a pr of 415lbs on deadlifts after heavy squats. Feels good :-)IFPA/PNBA Natural Pro Bodybuilder

Lmao my co-workers think I'm nuts. Had another leg session today, but I'm back to my normal 72-96 hour breaks hopefully :-) Just depends on my work schedule I really like to have about 75 minutes or so to do a leg workout.

Thoughts: Successfully hired a new independent contractor to train at my gym and hopefully another this week. I'm getting darn close to completing all of my goals I set out to accomplish. On another note, me and a close friend had decided to start a contest prep team just for fun and as a hobby that compliments are existing businesses as trainers.

How do you like push/pull/legs? I've been running a form of PHAT for a while but thinking of trying PPL next. Looks like you do iteration as high volume and then the next PPL is heavy, is that correct?

Prep is a piece of cake. Why? I got kids, four of 'em, nothing harder than that.

Yep that's exactly what I do. When I was younger ppl was one of my favorite splits then in recent years I loved the layne norton phat program. Felt like I progressed so much strength and size wise doing phat. So I figured why not combine the two lol. I really enjoy it. Most of the time I vary the exercises as well, but I have a few staples like squats, rows, bench presses etc

Today's Workout: Heavy Legs
Thoughts: Ate my regular amount of calories yesterday plus a big slice of cheesecake and I thought for sure I'd be up in weight not down lol. However, at this point I'm right where I need to be. Heavy squats and deads during today's workout and I felt like I crushed it. Squatted 395lbs and deadlifted 415lbs both for one rep. Feeling good. Also, since the year is coming to an end, I spliced together clips from all the videos I've made in 2013 to create this summary of my 2013 bodybuilding season.
