Slowly breaking in to my contest prep phase

[Chris250]

Well my state show is about 20 weeks out this weekend...So I have decided to slowly break into my prep...the first 4 weeks will be just cleaning up my diet, and breaking into a habit of eating 6 meals a day, with clean protein, and carbs at each meal...I wont really be counting my protein (although I know I get about 50 grams per meal) and carbs, but just focusing on cleaning up the diet, not cheating (during the week)...training will be hard and heavy still, with a tad more volume, to really get a crazy pump...I wont start any cardio yet, but probably will do some light treadmill walking (super slow) for 25-30 mins twice to 3 x a week...(just for my heart) ...

Supplements will just be a basic vitmin and minerals, whey protein, and creatine...I wont break into any BCAA's or fat burners yet, until im officaly dieting for the show around 10-12 weeks out (depends on how my body response in the next 6-8 weeks)

If people are interested I probably will have a training, and dieting log on MC like I did for PM for my 09 nationals prep...LMK

Well I would guess about 12-14% at 270 ish...I dont honestly know, I can see my abs, and I have lines in my legs, arms, delts, ect, ect...I wouldnt say im fat, but bulked is a good word ...LOL !!! :chicken:

Lots of luck, Chris!! Glad to hear you're feeling great again and getting ready for another season... wish you the best!

By the way, how's your sister in law doing? Is she still competing? Any chance we will actually see you at Jr Nats in 2011? lol

LOL at the "bulked"! Sounds like a good place to start though. Are you coming down to be in the heavys or will you be a super heavy?
I think i'm going to have to run a 20 week or so prep also. I like the idea of what you are doing your first 4-6 weeks. Very interested in your results as time goes on. I'll be prepping starting sometime in Jan. for a late May show.

Well it takes me a good month to get in the mindset of dieting and eating clean again...the first month I'll probably cheat here and there...

Just read all this.

Q. Is there anything you plan on doing different this time preping for a show, or do you feel that just having to get bigger in the off-season was the main goal?

 

[Chris250]

biggest thing this offseason is that im going to use carbs in my diet this year...I plan on doing more of a carb cycling diet as to a keto diet...

also im going to do my own diet this year....as for training, it will be pretty much the same....high intensity, moderate volume, train 5-6 days a week...

Personaly if you want my 2cents, I think chris should do everything the same and do think his main objective was and is to just pack on size this time, and shouldnt change anything else as he sure as shit dials it in damn near perfect, and im pretty sure he stated his objective was one thing, pack on size after the last show, if om not mistaken
