Lou's Offseason Quest to Compete........Cmon Davie!
« on: March 19, 2007, 06:42:16 AM »
Goal - May 2, 2009 Canton Invitational
Currently:
6'2, 168, and prob 8-9 % bf......I'll use this as a tool for dietary and training advice and to also track my cals so yo guys know I'm not fooling around......

I've had some assistance from Davie, 210 and a few others....thanks!   Currently on an HRT dose of 200mg which I've upped to 300mg to help me with the cals......


30 years old -

Goal - to compete in 2 years, keep my bf low, bulk to 225 eventually but 200 is my current goal:  Would love to be there again:

Here's my training style
Monday - chest/calves (Bench str8 bar)
Tuesday - Back - heavy low rep deads, from 6 inches off the ground.  Easier on the back, more feel.....
Wednesday - Delts - emphasis on standing oh press
Thursday - Chest - all dumbell movements
Friday - Aux day or off day - listen to my body - deads from the floor no wraps, hang cleans, Neck Bench or speed bench, str8 bar rows all 5 sets of 6, rows 3 sets of 8
Sat - arms or off day - 30 minutes cardio (sometime during the week if not here - moderate, once a week)
Sunday - Legs - squats 5x5 and heavy stiff leg deads, no lockout, just above the knee......

Cardio used to be 20 minutes 7x a week prework...nixed it.......trying to stay lean.  #1 goal.......Trainer (actually my buddy who is assisting me and competes) says no cardio at all......wants my cals up and wants me to GROW......please help me.

Canton/Columbus Ohio.....lets worry about that when I get there.....I need some serious help first!!  2 years is a loooooooong time to stick this diet out, keep increasing cals and to stay off the treadmill....


I don't care about getting stronger so I have no strength goals....just wanna look good naked!

I dont care if I can squat bench or dead four plates as long as I look like I can......eh?  3 meals down, time to go train then come back here to the office....I'll post when I get back bout 6ish........

Ohio? Well, I'll put this out there right now. If you can get your head together & start listening to others - I'll go down the Ohio & see the show. This is provided I still live in Michigan at the time of the show.

I'm glad you're not worried about strength. Just focus on moving the weights & staying healthy. Leave your ego at the door of the gym.

Don't try to remain on a "diet" for two years. That's way too long & you need cheat a little here & there. Remember the good/bad foods.
