Madds87, Contest Prep for Coastal USA Bodybuilding August 17th!

[madds87]

HERE IT IS!

Madds87 is at it again! I took a nice little break from my last and first show back in October and I feel as though I have taken enough time to "Bulk-up". I have been training hard and heavy, and I think im ready!

MY competition is a while from now. 25 weeks away to be exact. This will allow me plenty of time to get as much muscle as I can and to mature that muscle before I start to really cut up for my comp. Of coarse I can still slowly lean out since I have plenty of time.

MY Stats:
5'8
192
Fat % I would say im up there. I wont be tracking my fat, I will be judging through pictures.

MEASUREMENTS (Not Flexed)
Arms:15.5"
Quads:25"
Calves:15.5"
Forearms:13.5
Chest:42.5"
Midsection (across belly button):38" (YIKES!)

DIET:
(this will change of coarse)
Meat: Ground Turkey, Chicken, Fish (Swai, Tilapia, Salmon), Beef (Slow roasts only)
Veggies: All!
Fruits: All
Carbs: Pasta, Rice (Brown, White, Jasmine, All grains), Potatoes (all), Occasional biscuits and bread.
My goal right now is 4500 cals but will also try to get 5000. I will cheat sometimes since life is hard sometimes and a perfect diet 100% of the time is almost impossible. These cals will also decrease once I get closer and closer. My diet is getting cleaner and cleaner daily.

Staple Supps:
Fish Oil 10grams daily
ADAM Multi 2pills
Neem 2pills
Cycle Support 4pills
(Everything else will change throughout time)

I was able to get sponsors through my off time. Special Thanks to ANDRO FACTORY and 24/7 Family Fitness in Rincon, GA. They are my daily inspiration to become PRO one day.

My training will vary and change also. I will be posting my training up throughout the week. I will also be doing videos. We will see how that goes im not a director. ​

 

[madds87]

Ill be updating measurements, pics, and vids, later. Just setting up everything.

[hardwork25]

What weight are you looking to be around when you compete?

 

[madds87]

What weight are you looking to be around when you compete?

Welll im not sure man.... it all depends on how some of these cycles that i have up my sleeve work... my ultimate goal would be a sweet solid 180.... but well see im really hoping that the igf lr3 will solidify my gains for my pct... we will see though... last contest was around 165... so anything above that i would be happy.... honestly if i was 165 that would be a sick 165....

[thyrod]

Yeah! Dude one hell of a lower back! I'm aiming for that as well! What ya do for it?

 

[madds87]

Yeah! Dude one hell of a lower back! I'm aiming for that as well! What ya do for it?

I did anything and everything lol.... mostly deadlifts and partial deadlifts (partials you use a sumo stance deadlift and only lift the bar to just a little below your knee. I would use light weight and go for like 30 reps.)
Back extensions, good mornings, cable back extensions. Deadlifts worked really well for me just had to do lighter weight and higher reps...

 

[madds87]

I tried to go back to diet, but was only able to get 4000 cals yesterday and also ran out of groceries. So I had to get creative. I only ate three meals but they were big ones. This weekend I will be going out and meeting up with family. Time to eat and recover from all of my workouts this week. For bfast this morning im going to go get me a philly I think.... Or a philly omelet.... yum yum.... I started this thread near the end of my workouts this week. Ill be starting workouts again this coming Monday, which will be legs again. Im also excited about tonight, going to see the new movie "Jack the giant slayer". Should be good.

 

[FL3X MAGNUM]

Thanks for the tease, I'm starving right now lol.

 

[thyrod]

I dead twice a weak. Normal deals on back! And sumo on legs but always low reps! Got to try the high reps! I got baby ass legs! Starting to think that it is due to low reps heavy weight! But I hate doing high reps!

Hmmmm.... The High reps do suck... Hitting 20 to 30 just blows! lol.... But how do you finish your deadlift? Do you hyper extend at the top of each deadlift?

 

[madds87]

Thanks for the tease, I'm starving right now lol.

Haha! Ill tell you how it is. Naw you don't even wanna mess with my awesome Phillies I make when I have leftover steak. The key ingredient is smoked gouda cheese instead of provolone or swiss. It makes the most amazing difference.....

Hey guys. I hate to say this at the beginning of my log, but i was all nauseous again today.... i was going to work out but could not seem to get over the feeling. Hopefully ill be good tomorrow. I took all day drinking ginger ale, eating crackers and drinking water. I prob ate 2000 cal in peanut butter crackers... lol... hopefully im good tomorrow.

 

[thyrod]

Hmmmm.... The High reps do suck... Hitting 20 to 30 just blows! lol.... But how do you finish your deadlift? Do you hyper extend at the top of each deadlift?

Yes I do.

Dude I'm sorry, if anyone knows what you're going through I do, and I wish you a speedy recovery. God crohns sucks.

 

[madds87]

Yes I do.

Well then your good. All you need is time sir.

Dude I'm sorry, if anyone knows what you're going through I do, and I wish you a speedy recovery. God crohns sucks.

It does dude. My inflammations in my large intestine isnt inflamed. The crohnes part is actually under remission. Just my stumach... its really acting weird lately... but im just upping my fiber and ill be good to go.

 

[madds87]

Okay!
Felt better today and did some chest and bis.

Incline smith bench 10x10
Cable flys incline 3x15
Machine flys 3x10
Incline smith bench 4x2 heavy heavy 1 set of 20 then another of 50.

Preacher curls 3x10 slow and contracting

I discovered that if you tilt your elbows inward that you can focus more of your outer peak of your bis.... never done that before and def made my bis hurt...

Also have some Bulk Up coming in and i will start taking it once it comes in for a six week bulk. Maybe ill hit 200! Crossing my fingers!

Started my Bulk Up. My cycle will run like this.
6pills for six weeks. Then 6 weeks of PCT, which will be Clomid 25mg every day. The goal with the everyday CLomid will be to double my natural production my of free Test. I read an article about it. So gains should stay, with this new concept.

Also I lost a little weight from a week of messed up diet. Work was unusually busy.... For those of you that don't know. I work on tugboats. I stay on these boats for a week. We have down time for me to be able to work out but sometimes Its a fight to go workout. I get it in when I can.

I had a great pump this morning working out back. Even in my arms.

One of the Machines that I use for back. Its what I call "Hammer" Machines. Theres ones for chest, arms, and back. They work great for focal points.

7lbs of ground turkey and ground beef taco meat. Already half gone.

Made chicken alfredo with sun dried tomatoes for my gf for dinner today. It turned out really good. One thing is she its like a bird and then i eat two plates full lol... what a couple lol...

 

[madds87]

Ok Ladies and Gents,

This week has been a great week of working out. Finally get me some new headphones. So my head is right for lifting .

I am really ashamed to say that my diet has not been straight. My stomach has not been the same for a couple of days now. I keep getting nauseous. Not sure why. Sooo Im trying to figure it out. I bought some Prilosec, incase my heartburn was acting up. Also a stack of ginger ale. Im getting my protein in, but my carbs are not right. Im going to increase fiber intake and see if im just full.... I know there has been a bug going on around here, so maybe that's it. If this doesn't get better ill go to the dr. Or jump on some peptides ghrp6 for my hunger.

Couple of things I have been noticing with Bulk Up.
1. I am extremely thirsty. Gallon and a half kinda thirsty.

2. Muscles seem very full. Even on low carbs, considering my diet right now...
3. Focus is increasing and strength seems to be on point. Definitely have a "hunger" for lifting with this stuff and that only kicks in when I start lifting.
4. Have not been feeling any sides so far.
5. Noticing moodiness, more so than usual. I would say emotional.

But heres a catch up on my workouts.
