bodybuilding heroes. Interestingly, once I started asking them several questions I have
realized that all of them train and diet differently. When I continued with specific
questions about contest preparation, I learned that some of the great champions (like
Dorian, Ronnie and Dennis James) count their calories and choose only several
different foods ( chicken, steak, egg whites, oatmeal, potatoes and vegetables),
while others (like Dexter Jackson, Cormier and supposedly Flex and Shawn) don’t.
What is your approach?
A: As you just noticed it is possible to use many different methods of training and dieting
and accomplish outstanding results. You mentioned the names of probably the very best
bodybuilders in the last decade and as you realized they all have different beliefs about th
contest preparation. I am actually very close to some of them, and I am very familiar with
their programs. My friend Dennis, for example, is so precise that he would not miss any
of his meals for even a minute. Does he count calories? He measures everything he eats
and he would not use a single gram (of either protein, carbohydrates or fat) more or less
than what was planned. Here is example of his exact diet for the Mr. Olympia
competition (starting 16 weeks out):
4:30 AM protein shake (mixed proteins) total of 60 grams of protein, no carbs
5:30 AM 1 HOUR CARDIO
7:30 AM 150 grams of Oatmeal (80 grams of carbs), 15 egg whites (60 grams of protein)
10 AM Training
11 AM Postworkout drink (60 grams of protein, 150 grams of simple carbohydrates)
12:30 PM 300 grams of rice (120 grams of carbs), 300 g of Chicken breast (70g protein)
3 PM 300 grams of rice (120 g of carbs), 300 g of Lean Steak (60 g of protein)
5 PM 300 grams of rice (120 g of carbs), 300 g of Chicken breast (70 g of protein)
6 PM Training
7:30 PM Postworkout drink ( 60 g protein, 150 g simple carbs)
9:30 PM 300 grams of steak (60 g protein), 250 g mixed vegetables ( 30 g of carbs)
Midnight - Protein shake ( 60 g of protein).
Exciting, is in it? I would go crazy on this kind of diet, but Dennis actually enjoyed it!
If anyone can believe this – he complained that he was constantly hungry?!?
Dennis is just one of my fellow competitors/friends that I design diet for. What I usually
do is estimate their energy intake/expenditure and than according to amount of time they
have until the contest – design diet that would get them in contest shape couple of weeks
before they have to step on the stage. Of course idea is to preserve as much muscle mass
while efficiently loosing body fat. If their weight/ body fat does not drop as planned I
immediately make necessary changes. I would give the daily allowance for amount of
protein/carbs/fat without really limiting the choices. Many of my “clients” usually get
confused when I tell them that I would allow them to choose what they WANT to eat.
