My wife always gives me the "how big do you want to get" line (granted, I'm not huge, but rather well developed for a 5'9" 200lb 44yo guy).

My reply is always the same - "that would be going through the motions, which neither reduces body fat or accrues LBM - why bother".
 
If you aren't fighting to grow, you are fighting to fade away.

Oh and Nat wants a comp diet buddy in 2 weeks. I'm considering it. I need to check on how many weeks out from the O that would be. That will make a difference on how long I do it for.

But honestly, diet is the only way to hit a true competition shape. And thats what I want for this years O. So I will have to suck it up and hit it hard this year.

The Olympia is 10 weeks out from 2 weeks away.

Yes, I will need to have my diet spot on (and I think it will be easier over there) and no getting away with whatever I want because of excessive training this time. I want the same as you.

I know. You still have another 2 weeks (it's 12 weeks from now) though before then.

Sean will keep ME in line! I have a feeling I am just going to get leaner and leaner while I am over there; which is good, because it will be easier to maintain once I get back.
 
Today was leg day again. We seem to be getting in a good groove and I'm not getting sick lately! :)

We started with 4 sets of 15 rep leg extensions at 70lbs to warm up.

Then we did 3 sets of dumbell squats balanced on a reebok balance thing for 10 reps supersetted with dumbell pump lunges from one end of gym to the other.

All in all an easy day!


Diet will kick in this weekend or Monday all the until the O!
 
i've been working out EOD, and then finally gotten consistent at doing cardio the off days for an hour each time. I should look pretty good for the O with any luck
 
Shoulder day

We started doing dumbell side laterals for 15 reps supersetted with overhead presses for 10 reps and 4 sets.

Then we moved to do heavy seated machine presses for 60lbs and 6 reps supersetted with 15 push ups for 4 sets.

We did a few other things and called it a day :)
 
Chest day

Well I've ordered all the toys for my cut. The diet will kick in next week as will the cardio. I'm kind of amped up this time.

I used my HypX today 45 before training. I forgot just how good the stuff makes me feel when I'm tired and dragging.

Chest day
Started with 4 sets of 15 60lb machine flat presses.

Went to 25lb dumbell flyes for 15 reps.

Then we did 35lb dumbell bench press for 15 reps and 4 sets.

Then we did decline dumbell flyes at 35lbs for 10 reps.

Then did 15 rep dumbell pullovers for 4 sets.

Then I did 3 sets of 40 broomstick twists with crunches.

We did a few other chest exercises and she called me done. Now I still had plenty left in me which is rare. So it was a good day.

We discussed the Olympia training and I went to dinner.
 
i am blowing off cardio today for the first time in 2 weeks. just too tired from yesterdays workout. I need to start logging again just to track here on AM
 
Back day

This session made me and the guy I trained with sick.

We started with heavy dumbell single arm rows for 10 reps per arm for 4 sets.

Then we did single arm bent over cable pulldowns for 15 per arm at 40lbs supersetted with 6 100lb short arm pulldowns to the chest for 4 sets.

Then we did 110lb 15 rep seated rows to the chest reaching in to touch toes with the handle. Theses are where it all started to go queasy. It really was too much weight for me by that time in the training. However I sucked it up and did my 4 sets.

Then we did bent over barbell rows with a reverse grip for 15 reps and then did 15 barbell front shrugs for 4 sets.

Then we did 45lb between the leg barbell pullthroughs for 15 reps 4 sets.

I felt better with food afterwards!
 
I am glad for my Sat/Sun off training because I am sore. My shoulders especially hurt along with chest.

I plan to dig the treadmill out to get geared up for the weekend.

I seem to be fighting some body issues. It has been 3 months since I have had a period. I have done multiple pregnancy tests and they all are negative, plus my IUD is still in?!

I think that some of my being tired is tied up in that issue. I can get as much sleep at night as I need and still be tired by 3pm.
 
yeah, stress can cause that. I think some women would be happy to get to skip it for a while. They even sell that new birth control pill that does that, kind of end up with a period every 3 months

LOL well i don't miss it! But the only time I have ever been late and missed were my three kids. So it kind of messes with my head. It gets harder to keep using supps because I think well, what if I am...

I'm going to assume nothing I use could throw the tests and carry on as usual.
 
Has low body fat never been an issue with that before. I hear that happens when some women get near comp time and their bf is real low?
 
hmm well, its not like a change in hormone output of the IUD did it then. and yeah, its just about impossible to get pregrnant with a piece of copper touching the uterus. I'd say just still do a pregnancy test every 2-4 weeks to be on the safe side but mostly just be happy. And i'm sure Matt's happy too :D
 
Could be myriad reasons for lack of if it has been normal pre, including:
* Leanness - <12% BF
* Training - Too much too hard or overtraining
* Diet - Too much of an energy deficiency
* Stress
 
I did arm day Friday. I have just been to busy to update.

Today is my last day of indulgent diet and is the intro day to my clen/T3 combo for the O.

All in all I hope to get where I need to be in Sept.
 
I did 3~3.5 hours of canoeing today with my 13 year old. thats some painful cardio on top of painful leg day :)
 
Leg day

Did 4 sets of 15 rep presses supersetted with 10 extensions.

Then I did 4 sets of leg curls with me in a push up stance and Nat sitting on my feet for 15 reps with 20 pop squats.

Then I did 4 sets of stripper pole squats at 25 reps.

Then I did 4 sets of wide legged deadlifts for 15 reps with 10 adducter reps.

Hit a few more things and then I did 30 min of cardio.

You're doing well. I'm looking forward to my week off. I've lost any motivation and desire to train as of yesterday and am just forcing myself to do it this week.
 
I took some pics of myself to use to start a log leading up to the O and they looked so bad I decided not to :( actually it was mostly the lighting really, dim lighting shows less definition so I looked even fatter than reality which blows. I may try again in a different room

I know how you feel. It won't be long for you and you can relax for a minute. When you come train over here with Sean it will perhaps make it slightly fun..:)
