    Pre-Contest Fun(k)

    Okay, this week will be 12 weeks out form my first ever bodybuilding show. I am really excited and nervous at the same time. The show is June 26, NABBA Natural Empire State bodybuilding championships. I will enter the novice catergorie and maybe do the whole crossover thing into the normal open catergorie, haven't decided. The show has three classes and I will be in the short class (under 5'7") as I stand 5'5". As many who folled my last journal this year know I was bouncing around at 200lbs over the winter months trying to put on size. I started dieting and getting ready a little over a month ago and right now I am about 186lbs at 10% bf. I have a freind that has competed before and is kind of coaching me. I say kind of because he is really busy and has some personal matters that he needs to take care of so he is not around 100% of the time. Which is fine becuase I really enjoy doing things on my own and working hard for myself as I take pride in my strong work ethic. I will appreciate any feedback from some of he competition veterans as well as any comments or suggestions from the general public. I have dieted down many times in the past to low bf levels (5% being my lowest) just for shits and giggles but I have never dieted down with a certain time frame in mind so this should be interesting. LOL. Whatever the outcome I don't care. I am not in this to win, all though it would be nice. I am simply doing this to say that I did it as bodybuilding has been something that I have been interested in for a long time.


    Okay, enough rambaling here is my diet:


    5g creatine upon waking
    300mg ALA

    Meal 1
    6 whites
    4 whole eggs
    1c oatmeal

    meal 2
    8oz chicken
    1/2c brown rice
    1T flax
    1T cider vinegar
    veggies
    300mg ALA

    meal 3 (post workout)
    2.5 scoops optimum nutrition whey
    5g creatine
    2 rice cakes
    300mg ALA

    meal 4
    (same as meal 2)

    meal 5
    8oz turkey or 1 can of tuna and 1.5T mayo
    1/5c brown rice
    300mg ALA

    meal 6
    2.5 scoops whey
    2T natural pb

    meal 7
    2c cottage cheese
    1 apple

    totals
    3465 cals
    363g protein
    181.5g carb
    106.75g fat


    My carb up days are on sunday and wedensday (which both happen to be non-training days). I will be eating either pasta or oatmeal on those days.

    training split:
    mon- chest/abs (core)
    tues- quads/calves/forearms
    wed- off
    thurs- back/abs
    fri- delts/traps/abs (core)
    sat- hamstrings/arms
    sun- off

    I am going to do HIIT cardio 2x's per week right now, 20min. a pop. I will try to do it in the AM on an empty tank every mon and friday depending on how early I have clients and if my schedule will allow it. If not it will be performed after my workout.

    Okay....here we go

    4/5

    AM cardio (empty stomach)
    bike sprints- 15min
    1min- rest- moderate pedaling- lv. 0
    30sec- sprint- lv. 9

    PM workout
    I thought I would be more tired for this workout because I had been up doing sprints at 5am. I thought I was going to be dragging ass but I put on some crazy punk music in my headphones and went really wild. My strength felt good despite caloric defecit and this being my secong workout of the day. Rest interval was realy low. had a new training partner today, another trainer at the gym who asked if he can workout with me. he loves to ask me a million questins about how to train his clients with all these problems so I made it clear from the start. Questions after the workout, just move you ass and we will be fine! He lifts about as much weight as my sister so my rest interval was as fast I could throw my working weight on the bar and just go. On dumbell flyes I was doing 2 sets to his one because towards the end he was really draging ass. hahahahaha, this guy does so much cardio and loves to make fun of me for not doing it (that is why I decided to move even faster today and really drill him). Funny, I really wasn't even that out of breathe!!

    incline bench press
    225x8
    225x6
    235x5

    decline dumbell bench press
    95x12
    100x6
    100x5
    grab his weight that he was using for 5-6 reps and destroyed it.
    65x13 (really fast reps...too easy)

    high cable crossover
    plate#6x20
    plate#7x12
    plate#7x12

    flat bench dumbell flyes
    50x12
    60x8
    60x8
    60x8

    decline crunches
    bw + 25 x15
    bw + 45 x 12 x 3

    a) lying knee ins bw x 12 x 3
    b) russian twists bw + 25 x 10reps to each side x 3

    I am not into rap that much.

    Bruce hornbsby is a singer song writer. really popular in the 80s, kind of like don henly.

    Hs most popular song was "the way it is" which 2pac sampled so you may know the chorus to it.

    really amazing music.

    Awesome! I'm looking forward to following your progress P! Starting at 10%BF, good for you! I'm happy to get to 10% before comp

    My purchase this week was:
    Smashmouth
    Limpbizkit
    Godsmack
    Lynard Skynyrd
    and the Best of Guns N Roses
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
