My quest to hit 200 then compete in the spring
**EDIT** no longer doing the OKC GP. Let the bulking begin!
After much prodding from friends and others I am going to be competing in my third show as a bodybuilder. I have come to realize that I am not the men's physique type. So now the prep begins. Here's the current plan:
OKC Grand Prix is November 3rd. I will bulk as leanly as possible until August, when I will begin my slow cut and prep to be stage ready midway through October. The main goal is to put back on as much leg mass as possible since I lost a good bit during my last prep.
Current stats:
5'5", 173 lbs, approximately 8-9% BF. The weight and BF% are an estimate, although, they should be pretty close. I will be checking my progress with a bodpod and plan to have my initial for this log done on Tuesday of next week. At that point in time I will solidify my diet since the system gives me a print out of my RMR and daily caloric needs based on energy expenditure.
Current Diet:
Nothing too crazy. Minimums of 240g protein, 350g carbs, 110g fat. I'm averaging about 4000 kcals per day. My portions are weighed on a food scale and tracked via MFP. Again, this will all be solidified and cleaned up a bit next week. Most of my protein comes from whole foods, but I typically get a protein shake, sometimes two, per day as well as some Dark Matter post workout.
Current Split:
Sunday - rest
Monday - Power Legs
Tuesday - Power Upper
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Volume Legs
Friday - Volume Upper Push
Saturday - Volume Upper Pull
Most of my workouts are typically quite varied. My power leg workouts though tend to stay relatively similar since I am fused from L4-S1 and have some wicked back problems. Areas I will be focusing on are hams, quads, abs, tris, and chest. I feel these are my weakest points (in that order).
Due to my job I tend to travel quite a bit. I will be on the road for 2-4 weeks at a time. This is the biggest challenge for me once cutting begins. Finding a gym isn't usually that difficult since I teach a military course and I can just go lift before or after I teach.
Feel free to post suggestions or ask questions. Here is the link to my last prep thread with pics of where I ended about two weeks ago.
