Big diff in all of them man but the biggest difference is that relaxed back shot. That's just huge progress bro. Damn good job.

What's that goal weight again?

 

[emekajokammor]

Thanks guys for following along and commenting. I always try my best to log pics, video, what i'm doing, macro count, feeling, etc without being overkill. So hopefully everyone following can take away something from this crazyness.

 

[LiveToLift]

[emekajokammor]

What's that goal weight again?

i need 240-245 before Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing diet switch. lol. Overall, i need to bring in the new year under 250lbs. That way i can take my time in my prep starting in Jan and hit the stage at a conditioned 225-230.

You should prep with me...(crickets?)

Looking at my contest pics http://emekaokammor.com/Photos_and_Contest_History.php

I miss the stage...

 

[punthra]

Damn...Get back on that stage bro! Awesome physique! (No Homo) I'm hoping to get on stage for the first time in June, now that my life has finally settled down a bit. Might have to pick your brain a bit along the way, as you definitely look like you know what your doing.

Also, want to give my macros. Started my diet carb cycling with 5 days @ 185, 1 day @ 350, and 1 day @ 100.

Now i cycling with 5 days @ 140, 1 day @ 320, and 1 day @ 100.

Protein is consistent at 250g/day

Fat is @ 6 days of 20-30g. and only Lord knows what it is on my cheat day. lol

Plan to run it like this until i get to about 240lbs, -13 away, and then go back to the carb cycle i was using in the beginning.

[BB12]

Started new diet today ....

Ok, now back to you

 

[emekajokammor]

Started new diet today ....

Ok, now back to you

15wk transformation?

 

[emekajokammor]

Changing my split up a bit...Want to start hitting certain muscles twice a week.

Starting with shoulders.

Monday - Legs
Tues - Chest/Back
Wed - Light shoulders/Abs
Thurs - Deadlifts
Fri - Shoulders
Sat - Arms
Sun - OFF

Usually never work chest and shoulders back to back because shoulders usually get hit during chest trainning anyway. So i'll probably just focus on delt isolation work on Wed.

Wt 254.2 going for 251 by Sat.

 

[BB12]

Nice setup

 

[emekajokammor]

Nice setup

Thanks brother Joe!

 

[emekajokammor]

Went with legs today:

Bike: 5min (Not a single trad was available)

Single leg extensions: 4 x 20 each leg
Single leg press: 3 x 20 (slow reps. work on mind to muscle connection)
Cable Leg ups: 3 x 12+ each leg
Seated leg curls: 4 x 15 (squeeze!!!)
Seated calf raises: 4 x 15 (pause at bottom, roll all the way up and hold at top. Started with 1 plate and worked up to 2 sets of 3 for last set. No sense in going super heavy if i can't squeeze at top)
Abductor & Adductor: 3 x 20+
V-Squat: 10 x 10 (GVT)
Lying leg curls: 4 x 10 (heavyweight with squeeze. Training Hams like Bi's now. Trying to squeeze each rep to get muscle to peak)
Kneeling leg curls: 5 x 15 each leg

Elliptical: 25min

Still feeling it...

 

[BB12]

Makes my leg workout today look like kindergarten recess
