Re: Contest Prep in full swing....
I would start off by dropping the CLA from the am pre-cardio and take some aminos then....as far as tricks to hold onto lean mass, well, here is my regime and is working wonders! Have only lost a total of about 12 lbs but composistion is changing quite a bit!! Waist going down (30 inches currently), strength still up and FULL. This will be by far the biggest and best I have looked for any of the 11 previous shows I have done. Didnt want to start this post yet but since you asked TEST, here ya go.... Will post pics and such soon. Have progression pics done but need to load them up...if mods feel this should be moved to contest prep section, that is fine....

SOMETIMES: Nitro Burn mid day (3)
As of today, 2-3-06, six weeks out (March 18th) with bodyfat at around 7-8% guessing. Will get done on Monday. Intercostals and obliques are in...lower back and some mid fat still there.
5'8" and weighed 206 this am.
Training:
4 day split- 3 on- 1 off
1.)Delts-Tris
2.)Quads-Hams
3.)Chest-Bis
4.)Back-Traps
CARDIO: Keeping this mixed up. Some days doing 30-45 minutes post weights. Some days, wake 30 minutes and 30 minutes later at night. Some days 1 hr straight (30 min Elip. 30 min tread). Bleachers start tomorrow! Sometimes sprints on Eliptical but the day before and after legs, try not to do sooo much. They flatten out quite a bit for me at least! All in all about 6 hrs a week.
Now supersetting bodyparts...example: Today: Chest, then a bicep exercise. At this point not trying to add more size just refine what I got! Trust me, intensity is still there as I almost puked during legs yesterday!!
I feel that this has worked very well for me and will let the pics do the talking. I am blessed, however, as I can take a good amount of carbs and still lean out. If I drop carbs too low for too long, my muscle goes a bye-bye! Hope this helps out TEST or anyone else. My goal for this show is to re-qualify for Team Universe again. Was a little middle weight in my avatar and now will be light heavy. Much better for my height but still need to get up to Heavies. Keep in mind, I am 35, been training for 13 years, naturally! The only thing I have done non-natural is pro-hormones over the years and of course the Anabolic X products now. So, natural or not on these products, I have still only used what is legally sold in stores. 3 guys at my gym alone on juice doing this show and I still look better than them. Just my choice for now...But that may change as I might be going to the dark side. If so, no TU and off to Nationals or USA's. Thanks Kids, enjoy.
