So, what are all of your competitive plans for 2003? What shows and when? Also, what are you doing this offseason to better yourself for next year?

Posted by: Tank316

Mr.Wisconsin, October 18th i believe. Its our Pro Qauilfier.

what about you big man?

Posted by: w8lifter

I'm getting excited already

May 2 - FAME (Fitness Modeling) w/ WNSO

July 2 - or somewhere around there, MuscleMania Nationals w/ WNSO - bodybuilding

October - IFBB Level 1 - bodybuilding

I'm trying to gain 5 lbs for next season.....oh, and I bought some awesome new slut-pumps

Posted by: Lorraine

I'm still trying to work those details out with my trainer, but here's how it goes so far...

4/12 Jr. USA (If I can find a National Qualifier before this date--anyone have any suggestions?)

4/18 - 4/19 Emerald Cup Classic

May - Pittsburgh Fitness (??)

??? - Debbie Kruck

7/12 - Monica Brant Fitness Classic (maybe)

Then rest and hopefully start getting ready for Nationals, if I qualify.

What am I doing in the off-season? Training my a$$ off and putting together a new routine

Posted by: crackerjack414

doing a show in may, iam busting my ass eating like hell and training smart. Iam almost at my goal which is 180lbs before i cut. Iam currently 5'5-5'6 170 10%. The goal is to come in around 160 so i still have a ton more weight to gain. A crappy side not is that ive lost 4 lbs in the last week due to food poisining

Yeah me too! I know what she's talking about, but boy could I have fun with that one!

As for me...trying to make a final push to get my bodyweight up to 270 by years end. Regardless, I will begin to diet slowly January 1st for a the June Hercules Nationals (WNBF pro qualifier). If I get my pro card there, I will do my first pro show in 2004...if not, then I will do the September Naturalmania Nationals...another pro qualifier.

Between now and then I will be using my power, rep range, shock program with special emphasis on my back thickness, side delt roundness, and abdominals (which I want sooo thick that they look like concrete blocks WITHOUT even flexing!).

When you "strip down," I KNOW how MY bod will respond

LMAO

I want to diet slow and steady. I want to be in show shape about a month out. You see, even when your bodyfat gets low, sometimes the skin remains loose and needs several more weeks to "shrinkwrap" to the skin. I got very big this year and want to give my skin this chance...it can make a HUGE difference in your stage look!

Provincial show is April 5th of 2003...been cutting things out the last while but the official preparation begins this Monday, December 9th, 2002. Believe it not I can't wait for Monday...very pumped.

Current stats are BW = 185lbs, BF% = 13% (approx)

Looking at a competition weight between 154.5 and 162 depending on muscle loss/water mngt.

Posted by: Fit Freak

I should also mention that I am considering the Musclemania East in May depending on a number of factors!

Posted by: Twin Peak

I am thinking about doing a local NABBA show in July, sponsored by my gym). That is if I can add 10 more pounds of solid muscle and still have enough time to diet down (I want to compete in the mid 190s -- first two shows I was around 180). If not then I'll keep building and shoot for a fall show.

We've been through this before, but if your stats are correct you have 20.5 pounds of BF. How do you plan on losing 30 pounds. Or more appropriately, WHY?

Yes, both bbing and powerlifting comps are seperated by weight classes.

I'm hoping to do the same...except for the October show...I'm going to try the Musclemania as a novice to see what it's like if I can dial it in for the FAME show in May. If I'm away at police training that might be difficult tho'

I as well have some new slut pumps. Their names are...

Yes TP...that is true!

Posted by: Twin Peak

All/most NABBA shows are. Its a bit odd though.

Posted by: Fit Freak

TP....I have since decided that it's a waste to try and make LW...I'll probably have to lose all the hard earned muscle I gained this year....after thought....looking at Welterweight...even if I may not be in the upper end of the class.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Good to hear. Compete with yourself, for goodness sake, don't TRY to lose muscle!

Compete with yourself = good advice
