Wow, 280 is no joke. 235 in competition shape is badass too! That's a long cut though. Are you running a cycle so that you can be a bit more aggressive with your cut?

Oh, and I'm 10 pounds heavier than I said intially. If I was downing 4500 at 185 that would be completely insane.

Im really suprised on all the cals your taking in at that weight! You must have a metabolism like rocket!

Have you ever considered doing a natural show?

Your training also seems to be doing well... 25 regulars per week is fantastic!

Pardon me if I'm missing something here, CP. Aren't you taking in enough calories to support a 225 lb lean mass. Thats why I asked you if you had been an ectomorph. You mow thru kcals like one.

You're sneaky.

I hate to repeat myself, but your lifts are incredible. I'm not even sure what some of your exercises are but the weight is quite daunting. I remember from one of you much older journals how you progressed so quickly in the amount of weight you'd use w/out sacrificing repititions. I hope you can continue that trend. Good luck.

Thanks bro...

The lifts are pretty basic compound movements... if you ever have questions, feel free to ask. While Im no expert, I do have a good bit of knowledge.

I really focus in the gym... my intensity is the key to my progress. I just personally do better on HIT type routines than tradtional volume or periodization training.
 
I hope you don't mind (if you do, let me know), but seeing is believing. Oh, and yes, I know these are old.

hah... no problem.

I just dont really look like that anymore.

i was probably 230 in that pic... decent shape, but fat around the edges.
 
Cam the only changes i would make are this if your going to be competing in a show. Personally I would probably switch you over to a

mon tues thurs fri split with the days being

chest should tri

bis forearms backwidth backthickness

calves hams quads

friday is a repeat of mondays bodyparts (but different exercises of course)

this would allow you to put in the time you might need for cardio post workout and (off days) and also you should be able to keep your energy levels up. Sometimes on this split with people i add an extra "key" exercise that they feel is very neccessary for their physique to certain bodyparts, like lets say you felt your chest was lagging....i would have you do your first chest exercises rest paused as you normally would and then have you do a second (straight setted exercise) and you would use this key exercise as your second exercise every time chest came up during prep. (thats the short version of things anyways).......also i usually have my competitors straight setting into the show from about 2-4 weeks out--its up to them but usually most are really really tired 2-3 weeks out and just dont have it in them--so they straight set it in (with no loss in mass)
 
Would this hold true during the offseason as well?

My show isnt until April of 2007... I planned on staying offseason until the new year.

Nothing about me has ever been ectomorph. I have a decent sized frame, and I have always been chunky but with a bit of muscle mass too. When I was like 12 I joined a football team, playing center (Offensive line position), and I played with like 15-16 year olds in their league because of my size. At that time, I was only about 5'2" as well, so this was weight and width we are talking.

I am just constantly on the move. My metabolism was not revved up like this because I started exercising. Not in the least bit.

If there is one ecto trait I have it's a high level of NEAT as I eat more food. I definitely have a lot of nervous energy. Me + coffee = bad.

Sorry to whore your journal, heh.
 
Whore away.

Im not going to the gym for another hour.

oh ok i thought your show was coming up quick---well it depends---i usually go with the split your with up to the point that someone is very highly advanced and their weights get so heavy--that they are doing so many warmup sets to get to their training weights.....that its more feasible to go to the shorter 3 way split. Its really up to you. If you had a lagging bodypart that really needed to come up but your advanced i would go with the split i suggested but if your developing evenly--id keep going with what your doing......and then at the first of the year i would probably switch over (or 4 months out)
 
Thats the impression I had from reading numerous posts in your forum.

And as advanced as I'd like to consider myself, after seeing the superheavyweight pics on the hack squat today on your board, I dont think Im there yet (laughs).
 
Today was Legs

Calf Raises with the 5 sec negative and 15 sec hold.

400lbs x 7. Excruciating

Ham Curls: 250 x 13 rp x 4

Leg Press: 8-(45)lb plates on either side with 4 on top... x 6.

Widowmakers... hacksquat with 4-(45)lb plates on either side x 16. I couldnt breathe! lol
 
Yesterday was probably my worst workout thusfar being on DC.

I was literally embarrased.

Incline Smith (too inclined, i didnt adjust it and I dont know why) 295 x 8

Military Press Seated 265 x 5 (barely)... unsure why.. i had 5 last time easy.

Closegrip bench 295 x 4 (barely... again i had 285 x 8 last week)..

Maybe Im going up in weight too fast?
 
Hey dude.. whats new with you?

Still balling?
 
Bad ass hack squats. Was your last workout done all on the smith machine?

I played about two weeks ago but I stopped playing for about 4 months. I'm still lifting 3 days a week and taking care of my 7 week old baby girl. THAT keeps me busy :thumb:

Good luck getting ready for your comp. The workouts are looking strong in here.
 
Oh man congrats on the new baby girl!!!

Mine just turned one, and from experience, good luck!!!

Its seriously the best time, I know you hear this everyday, but TRULY enjoy the moment.

they grow up so fast.



And Fufu.. whats up bro.

I only use smith machine for incline presses and OCCASIONALLY shoulder press.

:)

Mainly because I need a really good spotter than I dont usually have :/
 
You bad workouts own 99% of people out there, heh.
 
Wow.. Well thanks bud, but I dont feel that way at all.

Ya know the feeling when weights just dont go up the way you want.. you feel like it was wasted.

:/

Well great numbers. 265 bb overhead presses is nuts. I think I have asked this before, but how long have you been training?
 
Seriously, since late 2003.
 
what about you

goals/experience/etc?
 
Last i checked 295 on incline is nothing to be ashamed of. I know you are, but good work from my end.
 
haha.... its not that bigga deal.

Ive been sick the past few days with a serious headcold.. driving me crazy.

No workouts to post.
 
Ok.... back in the saddle.

Instead of crusing this week ... I basically crusied part of the week (one set to failure with no rest pause sets after) and took the rest of the week completely OFF (4 days). I feel so good...my body needed the break.

My brother Mike (duncansdonuts) is going to be assisting me in my training and diet for my show this april. Being newly certified I am going to be his guinea pig of sorts and because he is doing this free of charge and out of his own goodwill, I will be taking pics and he will be using me as an example to his new trainees of what he can do. He is NOT new to this, but now that he is officially certified working at a gym, Im hoping ( and he is as well) that I can be a good example and bring him some clientele.

I will still be using my DC training, but Mike is going to help monitor and push me thruogh workouts, with the occasional tweek as he deems appropriate...

Today is Biceps/Forearms/Backthickness/backwidth.

Ill be back later... :)
 
That's cool of you to do that with your brother. Of course, he is a very smart fella, and I think it will workout well for both of you in the end.
 
Thanks. I think so too.

It was a good workout. Always super helpful to have a strong intelligent spotter with me as well...

Todays workout...

Ez-curls 130lbs x 11 rp x 3 rp x 3

Pinwheel Curls (dumbells) 55 x 14 rp x 4 rp x 3

CloseGrip Pulldowns 315 x 9... really are starting to cramp my hammys to hold my bodydown.. I really use this exercise with a full body motion..

Second set was bodyweight pullups with a 5 second negative... x 6

Deadlifts... my grip failed two times... by the third time I was very fatigued...

510 x 2 (Grip)
510 x 2 (Grip)

510 x 4... finish
