Bro you look hard as hell for being a hair under 270. I almost wish you would take the season off and keep growing but I know that to win the big shows you gotta get your name out there.
Peace.

Wassup peeps!

Shutting down shop until i start my prep Jan 2nd. Will still be here all day everyday but won't be posting here about anything until my prep.

Will be spending the remainder of the year just reflecting on this year and the ups and downs. Feeling a fire growing within for next year the more i reflect.

Next year, man. Just felt a flame, next year will be my comebcak year. Comeback from what? Well for one, the fact that i contacted well over 100 supplement companies (prolly like 150) about sponsorship or help with my journey and only about 10-15 responded with a nice no. Most didn't even take a quick min to respond. Kinda left a bitter taste in my mouth and i plan to make them regret not giving me the time of day.

I am blessed to be apart of AX and i am greatly grateful to be a rep.

Also, i have competed 3 times and never taken an overall. I've done well but when i'm training what i'm thinking about is overall. And to not have won one yet kinda gets me motivated. Sets of 100 rep leg press, 405 x 20 deads, 5min DB row, etc are not for 2nd or anything less than overall 1st.

Had a ton of great things happen for me this year and i am grateful but those great things have only set a standard for what i am to set my eyes on and shoot for next year.

This year i went for Nemo but next year i'm going for Shamu!
 
Well stated and looking forward to a kick ass 2012!

You have that passion, drive, and determination of a Champion!

Thanks Joe! I'm honored to have you in my corner bro!
 
Day 1 of my prep has begun...

Since i was off today, i decided to get a jump on things so i went in for a back session. Just me, my Ipod, and intensity in my heart.

Highlight of the workout was lat pulls vs stack + 45lb plate x 10 reps.

Head back at my normal time for chest.

I've dedcied to run my carb cycle with 140g low days, 320g high days, and 100 lowest days.

5 low days
1 high day (legs)
1 lowest day (Sunday which is my OFF day)

I was watching Kim "Swole" Williams vblog about his prep and he drop an interesting nugget. Instead of cutting carbs as he gets closer to his show, he adds them to help him fill out and grow in a sense right into the show. Makes sense to me so instead of me cycling 200g, 400g, and 100g like i originally planned. I figured i'll work up to it.

Water = Over 1 gal/day

Sodium = 3g/day

Fats = 30g/day

Will be posting some day 1 stats so check back for that...
 
Just like you, Kim's no joke when it comes to his workouts and supplementation!

***Prep Update***

Man i am starting to feel this diet. Weird. This is just the end of the first week, been kinda tired for the last 2 days. Saw my buddy Paul yesterday and we was looking kinda drained so i asked him why and it was because he started his diet regiment this week as well.

Once i get going i'm ready to rock and roll but i've been just passing right out at night. Anyway, i'm still keeping my diet at the same macro count at least until Feb. Planning on boosting it up a bit in Feb.

Current Macros:
Carbs - 140g low day, 320 - high day, 100 - lowest day
*Just ran all low days this week. Will hit a high day for legs on Mon.
Protein - 320g daily
Fats - 20g/30g daily

Nice looking workout
..

My bodies sore just reviewing it
 
I've learned this last year, that if you're not having fun doing your workouts ....it's just not worth it.

Back day buddy! Wt. is 266 and slowing down. So sticking with it until Feb. Then i'll make a few changes.

Warm up

Reverse Calf raises: 4 x 20

Hammer Strength Underhand pulls: 7 x 12
Lat pulldown machine: 4 x 15/10
Wide grip seated row: 4 x 15
Hammer Strength Overhand pulls: 4 x 12
Deadz: 4 x 15, 12, 12, 10
DB pull overs: 7 x 12

Seated leg curls: 2 x 20
Lying leg curls: 4 x 15/15

This is more of an objective workout than just poundage. Focusing on outter muscles because i am looking get wider, so thats why this workout looks a little weird (at least to me).

Quick points:
Reverse calf raises - Hits the small muscle wedged between your fibula and tibula. Seen from the outside when pressure is placed on the calf. In my bb mind i'm thinking, side poses.
Underhand pulls - Pre exhausting the lower lat
Deadz - Overall back development
DB pullover - Stretch and contract. Will help increase blood flow. Our final attempt to push as mush blood into every region of the outter edges of the back
Hammie work - Looking to stimulate these muscles twice a week.


Leh Go!!
 
Ridiculous!!

Nice work
 
Thanks guys! Pun wud up homie!
