Jjohn's way to the stage!

[jjohn]

Allright fellas!

It is that time of the year where you have to become "super cereal" about competition. The one I am aiming is in November this year.

Michael Elias is my trainer, has been for quite awhile actually, and I really cannot wait to get up on that stage and shine!

The bulk will continue on until June 1st, and then I will start to trim off that stubborn fat. Diet will be 99% clean. Hopefully 100% I will post in here my progress etc.. so you guys can follow up!

Just an update here to keep everyone informed. Training is going perfectly. I finished my 3 years college! What a relief!

I am looking leaner and will start to cut June 1st, in 1 month precisely. This should be a nice ride!!!

Natty?
What weight will you be trying to come in at? ....you know....the important things.

I was going to push for a august show non-sanctioned but it would screw up timing for me and my plans for the ironman in december....yea thats right.

I will try to show up at 175-180. I'm 208 right now. But I am still in the junior class, so weight doesn't count in this class.

Ironman! Whoa. You're a freak lol

No im def undersized for it right now. Doin some thing to see where i end up at show time, im thinking i may not do it and shoot for a different show next april and come in massive.I really got this itch to get onstage though.

EDIT: 5'10" ~185lbs. Once i get a decent tan im goin to take pics. Since im bulking thought they wont be very impressive.

PS: GOODLUCK!!

MAY 12th

Allright here we go with an update on myself. Training has been really good, I am at 210 right now. I look leaner, harder, and I can't wait to discover what's under there! Cut starts June 1st, until Nov. 1st, so a good 5 months of dieting and lots of cardio should yield to very good results.

Oh I gotta say that leg workouts are brutal for me. Depending on how I feel, I can kill them big time. And yesterday was so bad that I completed my leg training, changed, headed to see my dad, helped him around the house for bout an hour, and we had to go get some hardwood floor, so I sit in the truck, head to the store, and as soon as I step outside the truck, BAM! CRAMPS in my quads (vastus medialis for the ones who want the precise muscle) and not just one! Both! Ouch. Took about 15 minutes to go away, and this same scenario happened another 3 times during the day. As I am writing, they're still stiff lol. No that's what I call a brutal leg workout.

Aside from all this.. What else? Hmmm. I released a lot of stress and fatigue when I finished my collage 2 weeks ago, so my mood is a lot better now, and I'm ready to hit the iron!

I'm starting X Factor soon as well!!!

Also, I will get pictures on "Before" and "After". Should be really cool!

 

[John Smeton]

Congrats Jjohn! keep up the good-work. Pics are good.

[snookl187]

Looking good! Can't wait to see where you end up.

 

[jjohn]

I should end up on the stage I think.. LOL..

But seriously, I would be really happy weighting at 175 or more.

I will post pics June 1st to do the "Before the cut" phase.

 

[jjohn]

Allright time for some updates!!

Michael is a little late and I don't have my cutting plan yet, but I reduced my portion sizes since yesterday and I should get the new training this week. I will push higher rep ranges and I lowered my carb intake by 25%.

Pics coming up tonight!

 

[MentalTwitch]

cool.

EDIT- For pre-contest workouts, i may try what phil heath mentioned in his interview from Flexonline. Its posted here in the Pro section. He mentions something like 8-10 reps about 80% 1RM, for about 7 sets or something. I have to look more into it.


Make sure youre practicing posing, itll make or break you. And it'll help keep the muscles "sharp"

Yeah, Michael Elias takes care of my precontest stuff.

I pose a lot as soon as I wake up. So this is not an issue.

 

[John Smeton]

Looking forward to them
