Can't wait to see it.

Wes:
Although they are both very individualistic, I'll be quite interested to see your off-season training AND diet regimens.
-
Thanks guys!! :)
I was gonna post it last week....had a great week of training but missed Saturday due to personal obligations,so I`ll start it up later today....though this week is screwed up due to the holiday........as far as training goes anyway! :)
Monty,my off-season and pre-contest regimens from now on are gonna` look pretty similar (if i can stick to it).
No "bulking up" crap for me or powerlifting or power eating......just gonna` try to bring up weaker areas and get a bit bigger if possible.
After doing 3 contest this year,and losing 8 inches on my waist in the process.........no more fucking around drreaming of someday weighing 220 pounds ripped! LOL ;D
I`ll go into the "8 inches off the waist" story also. :(
-
Can only train 3 X this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday so I`m gonna` take it easy and kind of just get a decent pump and burn.
Killed myself last week also,so I guess an easy week is a good thing before I get serious this coming Monday.

I do the unilateral extensions one leg at a time .....obviously,but when I fail at 12 reps with one leg,I go right to the other leg for 12,then right back to the previous leg for 8 more and so on.
I usually did these alone pre-contest for 30 or more total reps and I feel it really helped out my quad seperation which has always been a weak point for me.
They look much better in person than in my pics though,for some odd reason. :-[

Seated Leg Curls:
10 plates-20 reps
12 plates-15 reps
11 plates-15 reps

Losing that much off the waistline is a lot of work; despite what some of the tards/trolls here claim.
I also believe that the old mantra, "Gotta bulk (get fat) in order to gain quality size" is an antiquated idea.
Everybody is different, but I fail to see how gaining sloppy weight "helps" anyone build muscle.
Your body is only capable of building so much muscle so fast, regardless of how much you train and/or feed it.
Consume enough of the right organic matter - micros & macros - that you need to maximize gains...THAT'S IT!!
Unless you turn to PED's, you cannot exceed your physiological threshold no matter how much more you train & eat.

-
LOL ;D
Hope you had a great holiday my friend!
I most certainly did!!
I ate an ass-load and a half of evil foods, but it really helped my "Black Friday" arm session today.
I'm still deciding if I can justify doing this more often. ;D
How was yours?

Yup,great machine,especially for one-legged presses.
I think anything where you "run the rack" is just freakin` great...brutal,but great.
On a sidenote,my adductors are as sore as hell today!!

Trying to rebuild power on these.....not far from where I was before competing,so I`m pretty happy with them.

I was planning on doing some Deadlifts and Dumbell Rows,but we had to hurry a bit as my training partner picked me up and dropped me off back home....she had an appointment afterwards so not much time.
I`m gonna` take tomorrow off and train shoulders and arms on Friday and do Deadlifts and Abs on Saturday.
I hate missing days at it screws up my entire schedule,plus it doesn`t help my OCD either!! ;D
Not a bad day at all.

I do the cable curls in a squatted position with elbows resting on knees..........the extensions are done using a high pulley and a V-Bar for the handle.

Wes:
I've noticed you're a big fan of db pull-overs.
Do you ever incorporate any variety insofar as switching db's for a bb or even a pull-over machine?

We don`t have a pullover machine,but if we did,I`d definately use it.
As far as BB Pullovers go,haven`t done them in ages........I`ll have to give them a shot next week,I remember really liking them using an EZ-Curl Bar,eons ago though.

How long have you had that pain?
Might be a baker's cyst.

40-12
50-10
50-10
50-10
I used to go up to the 80`s on these years ago for 5-6 reps or so,but I always got that nagging clicking in my shoulders,plus I was more concerned about moving the weight from Point A to Point B. instead of taxing the delts.
I feel these much better going lighter using a full range of motion (touching my delts at the bottom, and locking out at the top),with short rest periods.

They're nothing terrible.
We see them rather often in the lab.

And - not to scare you - but, if you feel a bulge behind your knee, you really should have it looked at.
There's a small possibility it may be a popliteal arterial aneurysm, particularly if you have any kind of aneurysm-related history in your family.
Common sites for aneurysms to develop are in the abdominal aorta and...the artery that runs behind your knee.

wes did a changeup in shoulder usually evry 3rd wkout giant sets,,dbpress,side laterals,front raise,seated rear lateral 3x around ..then traps total time 15 minutes lol,,,pump was nice.

Thanks for the info Monty,but there is no bulge,just a bit of pain.....just enough to be annoying.
I think it`s because I was going really heavy on seated leg curls (16-17 plates.....heavy for me anyway).
I`ll wait a bit longer and if it persists,I`ll definitely go see the doctor about it.

Cardio:
10 minutes on eliptical/stepper combo machine
I had a lot of things to do so cut it short,but I just started doing cardio again anyway, so I`ll increase duration steadily as I go along.
I also am going back to training a bodypart once weekly:
Legs
Chest
Back/Traps
Shoulders
Arms
I`ll throw in abs a couple of times a week and do cardio at least 3 X a week if not 4 X a week.

Gym was closed for 9 days,so had to go light once again.............don`t want to be so sore that I`m crippled...........I also have a nagging pinched nerve in my neck that has traveled into my upper back making it hard to do certain exercises.
I have no fucking luck!! :'(

Do you or have you done anything to treat it?

Do you or have you done anything to treat it?
Just tried having my wife massage it but it didn`t help much.
I had this before and traveled down into my elbow........felt like I was gonna` drop light dumbells on certain exercises.
For an example,my best at flyes at the time was 70 pounds for 5 reps,but I could only get one rep with a pair of 45 pounders as I thought I might drop the left dumbell on my face.
I`m gonna` use the Nautilus neck machine daily very light coupled with massage to see if I can get it worked out.

Have you ever tried or considered chiropractic treatment?
Everybody has their own opinions/beliefs regarding it, but my own experiences over the last four years have made me a firm believer in its effectiveness.
Soft tissue and myofascial work also does wonders for many trainers.
Also, one of the newer rages is ART - Active Release Therapy; there have been clinics/practitioners popping up all over the place as of late.
I’ll qualify my backing of chiropractors by saying this: not all are created equal - again, speaking from experience.
But IMO, it’s well worth finding a good one.

I'm thinking about rolling one of these 6 days arnold type routines. Hows this look wes
