    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    Being a personal trainer at the campus recreation means each month I have to attend a team meeting, today we had to do a team cycling workout in our new fitness studios.....Needless to say I was pissed since I couldn't get out of it and still had my smolov jr workout after. Anyway after a few...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    I think the big thing is just keeping on top of recovery. Studies have show that hitting a body part several times a week can create promote better hypertrophy. I think for most people once they adapt to that volume and keep theirselves doing their recovery work that it can be a great program...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    After day 5 of my smolov jr program I can already tell the key to getting the most out of it is to really focus on my recovery i.e. foam rolling, quality night's sleep, flexibility work etc. For anyone that hasn't ran smolov jr before you'll see from my logs that it's high volume. Not only is...

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    I was freakin' psyched to get back at it today! All the lifts felt good other than sumo deads. It's going to take a few sessions of getting used to them but I like the feel so far. Trying to keep rest periods around 90 seconds. As my squat sets get more intense I'll probably extend it to 120...

    Terrible nights sleep. I may have gotten 3 hours because for some reason I just couldn't fall asleep. Luckily today shouldn't be a tough day as far as classes so a little pre-workout and I'll be fine. Went with platinum pre, it's become my go to pre-workout lately, love it! The workout ended...

    Definitely, it helps me to keep more detailed logs and better analyze my movements! Plus hopefully it'll give some other people good ideas for their training.

    I've heard of a lot of people really liking the 5/3/1 and adapting it to their own needs! Let me know how you like it!! I haven't tried it but I'd love to run it sometime.

    Road to Pro: Andrew Pardue's Journey to Becoming a Natural

    I'm definitely ready to focus this much on my squat. As I said above my legs have improved a lot and are one of my better body parts but my low rep stuff still lags.

    Which Bodybuilding Federation To Compete In???

    I would strongly recommend the OCB (their pro division is the IFPA just fyi) They're a great natty organization. Also the DFAC, ANBF, and INBF are all good organizations to compete in as a natural. Each seems to have sightly different style so I'd say try a few out and see what you like best...
