Other then calves 2 days in a row, everything is looking good!

[Cooky32]

Thanks you're right. I will adjust that.

[Quinc]

Do you have any specific plan that you are going to follow like the gameoverdiet or Chris Acetos championship bodybuilding?

[Cooky32]

I am very interested in getting Chris Aceto's championship bodybuilding book. I cant quite afford a coach, but that is a close second. I have my manditory poses down pretty good, and I have someone who can judge my routine. I have my music already, but getting the diet down right by someone with his knowledge would be nice. I do pretty well eating on my own, but I may not be eating enough.

I'm currently using the gameoverdiet by scivation as my base; its free at www.scivationbooks.com i also plan on following the gameday book. i'm not saying you have to follow them exactly but they will give you a good understanding of what is needed to diet down for stage condition.

[Cooky32]

Thanks very much. I have been unable to get online a few days. Sorry this is late. I will either follow the game over diet, and if needed adjust to the ketogenic diet. I have also done that one before, with good results. Thanks a lot.

I am beginning to see the lines now. My midsection is coming along nicely too. I will take measurements tomorrow morning.

[Cooky32]

I got HAY FEVER recently, but have been powering thru. Work has been ridiculous. Being in the NAVY on a ship can be draining, but I am trying to stay focused. Many of you dont know my wife is 1500 miles away from me. I live with my best friend and his wife. They are not dieting for a bodybuilding show, but eat relatively clean which helps. I had a good leg day recently, but I want great leg days. My training partner has been working with a seal team lately. I have not taken measurements since I got sick. I am merely trying to keep the muscle on, and get in shape. My pre contest cycle begins in two weeks.

[Cooky32]

Sorry, I know its been a bit since I wrote. Today, is duty, but training is going great. I can see more vascularity, and muscle coming thru now. 7 weeks left. My diet is clean, but I have been eating one cheat meal a week. Its kept me sane. I am still doing cardio once daily. Its been hard to keep the time in the morning, but I do my best. I do it at 1030 am during the week, and upon waking on weekends. I am on cycle which is also going well. My supplement stack is listed on another thread. I am on duty today, and will be exhausted tomorrow. I will take a nap, and then train. Tomorrow is delts, trapz, and calves.

[3clipseGT]

First off id like to give you a big Raahhh, as you can see im a Marine. Second off i know how hard it is to eat clean with everything that seems to go on in the Military, i myself am in the off season right now although cutting, weird eh, so i can compete in my first show next year.

So needless to say ill be following along and good luck my fellow brother!

The weekend went ok, except for helping a friend move, which was a mistake. I am getting leaner, but not losing weight. 225 still. BP is still normal. High normal, but ok. Diet is good. Both high carb days almost done. Low for next 3 days. All my carbs will be from first 3 meals. I will take in 20 around the workout. Just enough. I am using Nitro Peak Protein now. Its good stuff. I trained legs yesterday. I still got 355 on squats for a few. I was pretty tired from helping a friend move though. Strength is good.

Sorry Its been too long since I wrote. Prep is going well. I have lost 4 inches in the waist. I am getting more vascular now, and my physique is really taking shape. Carb-cycling has kept me pretty full, and round. I am eating mostly chicken, top round steak, eggs, and whey Protein, veggies, brown rice, steel cut oats, and potatoes. I keep it clean, and snack on peanut butter, or nuts. Training is great. I keep it somewhat heavy, and the reps range from 6-20. Intensity is good.

Cardio is good, but I missed two days due to duty. I try to work harder when I miss cardio.

My split is Chest, back, delts trapz, legs, arms.
I work calves twice a week, and abs sporadically. I am terrible about abs.

Meal 1 4 eggs, two whites, 2 pcs turkey bacon.
Meal 2 50gm Nitro Peak, and 1 tsp Fiber.
Meal 3 6-8 oz chicken Breast and veggies.
Meal 4 50gm Nitro Peak, and 1 tsp Fiber.
Meal 5 6-8 oz Top round steak and veggies.
Meal 6 chicken, and veggies.

This is low carb day. I add potatos to meal 1, and brown rice to the others.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not whey isolate is the only protein to use for contest prep? I might get Gasparis myofusion.
