Allright, children and grown-ups, time for us to take the Grunt from a puny 215 lbs and turn him into an icon of shredded, massive power! Yeah, that's what I'm talking about here!
About the color and 2D thing, well, the smarter of you have figured that I will be documenting said adventures with digital, high resolution pictures.
Here is a general outline of the Adventure plan:
November and December 2007: Bulk, hard. Bulk cycle.
January to mid-February 2008: Maintain, cruise.
Mid-February 2008 to Mid-April 2008: Recomp or cut, depending on bf%.
Mid-April to June 29, 2008: Precontest run to June 29 or, if I am not quite ready then, the November 2008 competition, where I will dominate, annihilate and basically rule the day.
Now, I can either do the June 29 show, which can qualify me for the Provincial championship on July 5, which can qualify me for the Nationals on Sept. 7. Now June 29 is pretty early on, my initial plan was aiming for a competition in November 2008, which may well end up being what I will do anyway. That would only qualify me for another show in June 2009 though, but by that time, if everything goes well, I should be at a very good level of development, possibly enough to make my goal of turning pro a reality right then.
So what do you experienced competitors think, take my time before doing my first competition, or aim for an early show and then try to improve between them? Bear in mind I am already 40, so I don't have that much time ahead of me for turning pro and then doing some damage before I get old...
