Body Weight: 144.6 Pounds

Off Season Lean Mass Gain Regimen

I'm feeling good and motivated as I focus on building muscle to add some size. I don't think I will let my weight go any higher than 150 off season. Last year I topped at 160 and 10% body fat (16 pounds of fat, 144 pounds of lean mass) and it was some work to cut for my contest. I think I lost too much lean mass as I was burning fat to get to 142 and 6.5% body fat (9.2 pounds of fat, 133 pounds of lean mass.) I looked the best I have ever looked on stage, but I was a little small in my opinion. My ideal weight would be 150 pounds, 6.5% body fat (9.75 pounds of fat, 140 pounds of lean mass). I will try to lift heavy, keep doing moderate cardio and eat clean and watch the scale once a day to monitor my progress. Anybody that has any advice or thoughts about this, I would welcome your input.

Body Weight: 145.4 Pounds

Off Season Lean Mass Gain Regimen

I have a very interesting workout regimen going on. I am the full-time Fitness Director at a large branch of the YMCA in Birmingham, Alabama. I am allowed to do a maximum of 12 hours of personal training each week. Two of my early morning clients pay the Y for their personal training sessions and I train with each one as their training partner, leading the workout, while doing my exercises as they rest between sets. We train Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Here's a question. I train the same body parts each day with both of these clients. One trains between 7:00 and 7:30 AM. The other trains between 9:00 and 10:00 AM. While working the same body parts, I do different exercises with each client. What effect, positive or negative does the 90-minute break between sessions have on my workout? I'm lifting heavy in both sessions.

Chest and Triceps

All exercises began with one or two warm up sets and then all reps were performed slowly, with a pause at the top of each rep and a slow negative recover stroke.

I had a problem at my gym on Tuesday. Once a year we re-surface our basketball court. We used a bunch of chemicals and polyurethane to do the floor and the fumes gave me a migraine-like headache that was so bad I didn't sleep at all on Tuesday night. The gym was still full of fumes on Wednesday, so I took the day off. I guess I am very sensitive to the product they used on the floors. We had to open all of our outside doors during the day for two days until the air was cleared. Next year, I'm taking the day off when they resurface our court and the polyurethane is applied.

All exercises began with one or two warm up sets and then all reps were performed slowly, with a pause at the top of each rep and a slow negative recover stroke.

At around 10:30 AM, on Friday, November 22nd, I was sitting in my car listening to my radio and reviewing my notes for a History test at Long Beach (California) City College. I heard the first news flash that shots were fired at the presidential motorcade in Dallas. I never went to class that day, nor for the next four days as I and the rest of the nation watched the funeral of President John F. Kennedy. I know of no one who is old enough that doesn't remember where they were and what they were doing on that day, 47 years ago.

Other than Creatine and Nitric Oxide, I haven't used many pre-workout supplements. I am getting a good "rush" from K-OTIC. I am lifting heavy and I am recovering quickly between sets. I'm doing a lot of work during my sessions. I'm about through with my first container of K-OTIC and I'm looking forward to a "refill" of this excellent "Hardcore Psychoactive Performance Igniter."

Looks like you've been on this program for about 4 1/2 months. You've gained 4.5 lbs thats about a lb/month. No bad but looks like a very expensive supplement program for someone that not sponsered.

I am a senior athlete. At 67 years-of-age, I never achieve results as much or as quickly as a younger athlete. I am very happy with that fact I can add some good muscle at my age. Most men peak in their early 20's. I'm way past that but am still able to grow. I weighed 144 on stage on October 16. I am around 155 today. Of course, all of the additional weight is not muscle. I am enjoying my off season. I will get it back "on" after January 1. My next contest is April 16. I will be harder and leaner than I was at my 6th pro show last October.

Off Season Lean Mass Gain Regimen

On Monday & Thursday I am doing the Hungarian Oak Leg Blast. On Wednesday & Friday, I am doing the Widow Maker upper body workouts.

Widow-Maker Power Workout – A Four-Week Plan (Here is the entire workout regimen)

The purpose of this plan is to grow lean, hard muscle mass by lifting heavy for several sets with little rest in between, using the same weight load and then doing a Widow-Maker set of many reps for the same exercise. Here is the Plan:

Keep the same weight for all 6 sets, but you may lose a rep or two at the end. For example set 1 - 4 you get the 6 reps, set 5, 5 reps and the last set 4. Pick a good weight and don't lower it even if it means 2-3 reps total on the last set.

On the high rep sets don't just do them light and go through the motions, go heavy and hard. For example on the 50 reps of squats pick a weight you can only get 20-30 reps with and then just take 2-3 deep breaths and bang out 4-6 more reps, breath and do more until you get the reps in. This is the Widow Maker set!

The rest between sets is 60-seconds and do a few warm-up sets before you begin the exercise. Stretch the working muscle between sets for 20-30 seconds.

Day 1:

Incline Bench Dumbbell Press – 6 x 6, 1 x 20

Flat Bench Dumbbell Press – 6 x 6, 1 x 20

High Pulls (wide grip upright row, but you pull to the forehead) – 4 x 4

Heavy Laterals – 3 x 8

Press Down – 4 x 10

Decline Dumbbell or Barbell Extensions - 4 x 8

Day 2:

Leg Press – 6 x 6, 1 x 40

Squats – 6 x 6, 1 x 30

Hack Squat – 6 x 6, 1 x 20

Leg Curls– 5 x 8

Leg Extensions – 4 x 10

Day 3:

Reverse Grip Barbell Row – 6 x 6, 1 x 20

Medium Grip Pull Down – 6 x 6, 1 x 20

Dead Lifts – 6 x 6, 1 x 30

Barbell Curls – 4 x 6

Preacher Curls – 4 x 10

Day 4:

Lunges - 6 x 6, 1 x 20

Seated Leg Curls - 6 x 6

Wide stance Squats (feet out wide, toes pointed out) - 6 x 6, 1 x 50

Dumbbell Stiff Leg Dead Lifts - 6 x 6

Step Ups (Step up, one leg at a time, on a high bench or aerobic step) 6 x 6


Today I did Day One of the Widow Maker

Day 1:

Incline Bench Dumbbell Press – 6 x 6 x 47.5 dumb bells, 1 x 20 x 42.5 dumb bells

Flat Bench Dumbbell Press – 6 x 6 x 52.5 dumb bells, 1 x 20 x 47.5 dumb bells

High Pulls (wide grip upright row, but you pull to the forehead) – 4 x 4 x 55 pounds

Heavy Laterals – 3 x 8 x 17.5 pound dumb bells

Press Down – 4 x 10 x 60 pounds

In the end how much muscle do you hope to have gained? What is your body fat like now as compared to contest time?
 
My weight today is 156 and my body fat is around 8%, which means I have about 143.5 pounds of lean mass. I will continue to lift heavy while keeping my clean carbs up and hopefully come in at my next show at around 5% body fat and hopefully keep a good part of the lean mass I have now. I am not concerned about "making weight" As a natural Master Pro, I compete in age classes, not weight classes. During the last three weeks of contest prep, I don't step on a scale. I use a mirror to judge my conditioning and readiness. That's the plan.

Body Weight: 158.0 Pounds

Off Season Lean Mass Gain Regimen

On Monday & Thursday I am doing the Hungarian Oak Leg Blast. On Wednesday & Friday, I am doing the Widow Maker upper body workouts.

Widow-Maker Power Workout – A Four-Week Plan

The purpose of this plan is to grow lean, hard muscle mass by lifting heavy for several sets with little rest in between, using the same weight load and then doing a Widow-Maker set of many reps for the same exercise. Here is the Plan:

Keep the same weight for all 6 sets, but you may lose a rep or two at the end. For example set 1 - 4 you get the 6 reps, set 5, 5 reps and the last set 4. Pick a good weight and don't lower it even if it means 2-3 reps total on the last set.

On the high rep sets don't just do them light and go through the motions, go heavy and hard. For example on the 50 reps of squats pick a weight you can only get 20-30 reps with and then just take 2-3 deep breaths and bang out 4-6 more reps, breath and do more until you get the reps in. This is the Widow Maker set!

The rest between sets is 60-seconds and do a few warm-up sets before you begin the exercise. Stretch the working muscle between sets for 20-30 seconds.

Today I did Week Two, Day One of the Widow Maker

Incline Bench Dumbbell Press – 6 x 6 x 52.5 dumb bells, 1 x 20 x 47.5 dumb bells

Flat Bench Dumbbell Press – 6 x 6 x 55 dumb bells, 1 x 20 x 52.5 dumb bells

High Pulls (wide grip upright row, but you pull to the forehead) – 4 x 4 x 60 pounds

Heavy Laterals – 3 x 8 x 20 pound dumb bells

Press Down – 4 x 10 x 65 pounds

Decline Dumbbell or Barbell Extensions - 4 x 8 x 60 pound barbell (skull crushers)



Abdominals
1 x 200 crunches - two-count and hold each rep

Cardio

My YMCA workplace was closed on Monday due to icy conditions on the roads in Birmingham, Alabama so I stayed home with my wife and "chilled." I couldn't do my Hungarian Oak Leg Blast regimen on Monday so I will pick that up tomorrow. I did Wednesday's Widow Maker training regimen today.

Wow, I've never heard of anything like that happening before. Crazy. Anyway, I was wondering if you have any special tips for keeping motivated during the Winter? Training mostly in the gym in the Winter gets old to me, any ideas on how to switch it up? I admit I'm kind of a sissy about the cold.
