Mike, you possess a frame that will look very massive when ripped. You are lucky.
My thoughts...

Train legs first. Monday. After you've watched tv and relaxed all day sunday. Make it your priority. I'd guess from looking at you that you have done upper body work about 3 times more than lower body in your life. Your legs are years behind. But your arms will keep their size when you diet, so you're in a good place.

I'd take a month off upper body and hit legs twice a week and that's it. Your upper body joints will heal (and cutting back the ibuprofin will make your body more responsive to your AAS as a bonus!), Your CNS will recover (you've been training 10+ hours a week with no cardio? ouch! rest up for your contest run!), You'll get the upper body back in 3 weeks with muscle memory. Make Jan 15-Feb 15 LEG MONTH, and you'll be re-energized come february for your precontest run.

As far as diet/cardio- if you don't do something big and drastic in the next 3 months, you're just going to look like a leaner yet smaller version of you at the show. SHOCK your body. Start eating a ton of fish. Get hooked on a new veggie. for cardio, do something like fast bleacher climbing or fast sprints. At your age and bodyfat, hours on the treadmill are NOT the answer. I would advise high intensity. If you've been training 2 hours a day, your body is already USED to low impact aerobic activity from the long weight sessions. SHOCK IT with some intense cardio. Intervals are good too.

What you're doing takes guts. If you fail, the whole internet community will never let you hear the end of it. but if you succeed, you'll gain clients for your business and be known as a guru here.

Sorry if I have been rude or too abrasive, just sharing what is in my head. I will be following your journey. Should be interesting!

Rob

I guess i stopped reading when he said that i had done upper body at leasts 3 times more in my life than lower
body.........from day one (i read a lot before i even stepped foot in a gym)
i squatted (got up to a 500 lb squat when i weighed 300 lbs)
wrecked my knees from years of heavy squats and hacks (6 plates per side at one time on the hack squat)

so.................i never was a "beach bodybuilder" i always wanted to be a bodybuilder from day 1

Yemeni's idea was new because i didn't read 240's post (or if i did i was insulted by it and didn't pay any attention to it)

In other words: You lied in the original Arvilla thread. You claimed a 600 pound squat.

It is ok.

You lied. You made a mistake.

Done is done.

But do not deny it.

Maybe that's the problem, Michael. Too much volume for YOUR calves.

No.

Mike lied when he first came to this board, he claimed a 600 pound squat for reps when he only did 500.

Today Mike is a good fellow.

But he lied about his squat in 04.

Debussey suffers from a condition called "sticky brainesis", thus, Debussey remembers.

Your mother is still a whore.

Debussey...do you have the thread or are you just going by memory that he claimed 600 for reps?
