Its time to start logging again. This time it will be for the 2012 CO. State Championships. I'm currently weighing about 225lbs. I've uploaded a Current pic. I'm about 27 weeks out and actually have been dieting for last 2 months. I'm trying to stay leaner in the off season because of how slow my metabolism is.

Hi Sydney,
we´re all trying hard, aren´t we?

Perfect height. isn´t it?
My height is 179 cm... *usingonlinecalculatoranddevelopingalittlehatetowa rdsnonmetricsystems* 5 feet 10 15⁄32 inches.

((I am, however A LOT lighter...))

How long have you been lifting and what is your experience with different split routines? Or have you always used bodypart split routines?

Cheers,

Hey buddy! I've been lifting since I was 11 years old and I am currently 23 years old. I have been bodybuilding since my 11th grade or 16 years old. I've done several different splits, and I have been doing split routines since i can remember. There are so many different techniques and splits that you truly have to experiment with what works. Try a different theory every 12 weeks. This is a patient sport so you have to give it time.

April 18, 2012

Haven't been on in a while. Been dealing with a certain condition that left me unable to exercise. While it has improved I haven't decided whether or not I am competing in July...I Am currently doing an athletic lifting program. I figured this would be the best program to start with being I haven't lifted in almost 2 months.
