Johnny Reid's road to the UKBFF Britain Finals 2011 - Sponsored by AD & CSN

[JohnnyReid]

HI all,

I have introduced myself but not been online a lot since. I have now committed myself to blog daily right here on my newest contest prep.

Firstly a quick reminder of who i am:

My names Johnny Reid, i'm 22 years old and an ammeteur national competitive bodybuilder.

I started training end of 2008 at 19 years old the going on to win my first show in 2009 at the age of 20. That was as a junior in the NABBA Wales and i also qualified for the NABBA BRITS & UNIVERSE.

Unfortunately i suffered a torn tendon in my pec soon after which caused me to sit out the next year and a half....

I have recently made my comeback at the Nabba Wales 2011 in Class 1 where i got 2nd place. I also got an invite to the Britain Finals but i decided not to compete.

I am currently dieting to compete in the UKBFF Wales in September 2011 where i will enter the Intermediate O90kg category (although i would love to make U90kg i'll see how the weight comes off). Hoping to then qualify and compete at the UKBFF Britain Finals in October in the respective class.

I am currently sponsored by Anabolic Designs and Cardiff sports nutrition and i will be helping blog on the AD range and their effectiveness.

As a sponsored athelete you would say I am obliged to compliment their supplements but in actual fact those who have tried or looked into the AD range will know their products are one of the most extensively reasearched and highest quality supplements available today!

Thanks for reading!!

cheers Mick.

and yeah cookie I have set diet plans which my sponsors set me. At moment im so far out its not massively extreme but I will blog any changes over the next weeks. I have my cheat meal today so heading out for Indian later this evening. Also a non training day for me today time to kick it up a few notches Monday!!

[Cooky32]

Right on. Indian sounds good. Thai is my usual cheat. I start my next diet after thanksgiving. i will take a short break Christmas day, and then back at it. My show is in Texas in april. I am in the navy on a ship deployed currently so I do the best I can with training and diet. Most of my training works on my conditioning, and preserving mass.
Take care and good luck.

Hey all,
worked nights last night so im pretty tired as we speak. Luckily today is rest day and cheat meal day so that's a result.

I haven't posted anything on the pharmaceuticals im using but I am willing to disclose if anyone enquires.

So as you would expect not much to report on my rest day. Eating clean meals all day til this evening where I will indulge in a nice Indian take away.

I am currently around 12 weeks out, condition isn't bad as I competed only 4weeks ago, a little watery as to be expected on the rebound.

Visited marc at www.cardiffsportsnutrition.co.uk (enter johnny5 for 5% of all orders). Marc pretty much kept my diet as above but in macros, the choice of foods is my own. Cardio has been set to 45mins am and 20mins post training. Everyday.

I shall log my training sessions starting Monday with back and triceps.


Supplement tip of the day..... Anabolic designs 'granite mass' stack. For those who want that added bit of muscle. Available at Cardiff sports nutrition. Link above.

This is how my back and Tricep Workout looked yesterday....

Started with underhand pull downs - 1 warm up of 50kg x 20 reps & 3 working sets of 110kg x 12.
Then moved on to wide grip over hand pull downs at the same sets and weights as above.
I then did some T-bar rows - 1 warm up 40kg x 20reps & 3 working sets of 100kg x 12 reps.
Also then i threw in some cable pull overs. 3 sets of 50kg x 12reps.
To finish back of i did one handed cable rows 3 sets of 60kg x 12.

Then on to triceps.
Close grip bench, 1 warm up 20kg x 20reps, 3 working sets 60kgx12reps ( i find i cant go heavy on this due to my pec injury)
Then i did rope pull downs 1 set of 36kg x 12 & 3 sets 72kg x 8.
To finish i did overhead extensions one handed dumbells - 3 sets 17.kg til failure.

I had a wicked pump and just went with the flow in this session - no pre planned structure just did whatever exercises i fancied.

I then followed it up with 20mins cardio....


Also I weighed in this morning at 17stone 5lbs and getting leaner

I will post todays update tomorrow as i can give you my entire days activity in one update!!

Tuesday 14/06/2011 UPDATE

Here goes again....

I woke at 6am - Shot 10iu insulin SubQ immediately.
I then did my 45mins fasted cardio.
When i got home i then shot 6iu nolvadex insulin and drank an ice cold lemon water.
After a nice shower i then began my meals as follows.

Meal 1 - 80g carbs 50g protein (Brown bread banana sandwiches & Whey shake) 1 serving Ravenous (AD) & 1 serving Shredabull (AD) 2g Vit C
Meal 2 - 70g carbs 50g protein (Oats and extra lean beef mince) 1 serving Ravenous & 1 serving Shredabull
Meal 3 - 40g carbs 50g protein (Oats and extra lean beef mince)
Meal 4 - 18g fat 50g protein (Natural organic peanutbutter & Whey shake) 1 hour pre-workout.
45mins pre workout 1 serving stamped (anabolic designs), 1 serving shredabull.

Train. QUADS

Session went like this (throughout i drank gaspari size on pre contest)

Started with squats (haven't squatted for some time due the waist widening effects it has on me)

Warmed up with 20 reps at 60kg (all reps at all sets are deep as possible with no locking out at the top)

3 x working sets 180kg x 12reps.

I then proceeded to leg press.

1 warm up of 200kg x 15 reps concentrated.
3 working sets of 320kg x 15 reps (all reps deep touching the rack with no locking out and concentrated)

These two exercises were performed with only 60seconds rest and i was pretty pumped after this.

To finish I did leg extensions
Full stack (roughly 110kg) x 15 reps x 4 sets

In all honesty the weights weren't massive today but my form was isolated and the intesity was high.
I sweated and hurted more today than when i do my 600kg offseason leg presses and previous 260kg squats for reps...... INTESITY IS THE WAY FORWARD FOR SURE!!!

Struggled to walk so cardio was out the window but in all honesty with how high the intesity was i don't think i needed it!!

Immediately after my last set i drank my 1 serving of vitargo.

30mins post workout i had 60g whey shake along with another 40g simple carbs.

1hour later i had 2 tins tuna with hot sauce

last meal being Egg whites.

During the night i woke to have a whey shake and PB (which is when i wrote this out)

I also shot my 1st jab of MT2 today as i desperately need some colour (i currently resemble casper the ghost)

Today was a good day - eat well, trained hard - Weight is slightly up but its most likely to be the water from HGH i have recently applied to my cycle.

I also have some GHRP6 sat in my fridge which i have been told is pointless using but i maye throw it in post workout as it's sat in my fridgr - Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated! ....


Hope this update has been suffice - any other info required please ask.

I will post some pics up soon when i find some one to take them in half decent lighting...

Also on the AAS side of things i didnt make it clear when i was shooting them, it is currently once a week every Sunday at 1g Test enanthate & 750mg EQ (this week it was 3.5ml in each quad)

My pre contest cycle will start 8 weeks out which i will post up soon for all to see. Thinking about using DNP to drop the extra lbs but i'm still undecided.

Currently I am just over 12 weeks out so no need to worry. I am sitting just over a stone above my last contest weight and most of that is water weight from the added compunds and rebound from the show being only 4 & half weeks ago!!

Thanks for reading everyone and please feel free to input to my prep.

Also a big thanks to my sponsors Cardiff Sports Nutrition and Anabolic-desigs for all their help this year, i will be nearly 10months on dieting this year and i wouldn't be able to do it without their help.

Also i would recomment the entire AD range to anyone but specifically in this update i'd like to suggest Ravenous to thos who find it hard to intake all the required calories or simply want help digesting their food more effectively:

Here's a link to it for all to read up on:

Great leg day Bro. what do you usually do for Hams and glutes?

Wednesday 15/06/2011 UPDATE

Today was very similar to Tuesday - infact exactly the same appart from training. And the fact i was working nights.

So here's how my training went for those who are interested.

Chest and Biceps.

Started with incline bench 1 warm up 60kg x 20reps, 3 working sets 80kg x 15reps (i refuse to lift any heavier than i need to anymore since tearing my pec tendon off)

I then moved on to incline dumbell press - 1 warm up 25kg db x 15 reps, 3 working sets 35kg x 12 reps.

I then proceeded to flat DB press super setted with flies 4 sets 35kg db press x 15 reps & 15kg db flies for 15reps.

That felt enough for my chest.

I then did 3 excersizes on Biceps.

Started with standing dumbell curls 1 handed 1 x warm up @ 15kg x 20reps & 3 working sets 25kg x 15reps.

Then it was DB hammer curls @ 20kg x 15 reps x3sets.

Last exercise was a one armed preacher curl off the knee. 4 sets x 15kg x 15reps.

All of the above exersizes were done with real intensity. Since the NABBA 5 weeks ago i've had new traing partners (Nathaniel Rose & Geraint Baldwin) and they both seem to love high intesity. Suits me fine although i do miss lifting big numbers - I'm a BB not a powerlifter!!

I also did my AM cardio fasted and post workout cardio 20mins.

I worked nights that night and tonight which has put me all outta whack but i have followed my diet but with the later nights have thrown in the odd extra shake every 3 hours to stop me going catabolic.

Todays training went out of the window and again diet was as set but a few extra shakes added in. After making the transition to nights my bodyclock is F***ed!

Friday i will try and get back to normal - Get up fairly early anf get back on track. May have my cheat (a pizza in the evening also some sleeping tablets (to rest up due to the fact ive had 6 hours sleep in 3 days!)

Hasn't been distructive at all but i hate not being in a routine and cannot wait to get back to 'normal'

Cheers all,

Sunday 19/06/2011 UPDATE.

Last few days have been a nightmare to blog, been working nights and I've been so tired. Also I dont have a pc at home and am using my phone which is hard work.

Diet hasn't changed, still hitting my macros at 355g protein, 275g carbs & 40g fat.

Although I did do a 4500 calories in one cheat meal Friday night at mcdonalds :P.

Cardio has been still at 45mins in the am fasted along with my 20mins post workout.

Everything is coming along nicely, haven't been able to upload pics due to the whole phone/pc issue but I will try my best to get some up for you all to see.

measured my legs yesterday and their just over 30" with most of my cuts in so im pretty happy.

Trained hams and calves Thurs and shoulders Friday. They went like this:
Hamstrings- straight legged deadlifts on the hack squat machine 60kg warm up for 20reps then I did 3working sets at 140kg for 15reps.
barbell lunges 60kg warm up 16 paces. Then 3working sets at 140kg for 16paces.
finished with one leg drop sets til failure on the leg curl machine.

Calves were simple - standing raises 3 sets till failure 110kg and seated raises 3sets 140kg til failure.

Shoulders went like this...
Shoulder press db - 1warm up 20kg db for 20reps. 3X working sets 45kg db for 12 reps.
Lateral db raises - 3x 22.5kg db concentrated reps x 12 reps.
Rear db raises - 3x 30kg db for 12reps.
Barbell shrugs - 3x 140kg x 15reps.
Barbell upright rows - 3x 25kg til failure.


The weekend has been rest time and well needed to be honest.

Back at it hard tomorrow and I cannot wait
