18 Weeks to Pro -Training Log

I wanted to try and keep a training log online as I attempt to win my WNBF pro card in May in Des Moines, IA. I am not always consistent about getting on and doing it, but have always wanted to. I started training last week so I am already a week behind so now it is catch up time!

Pics from my last contest are in my profile. I may do update pics on here from time to time as I go. I tried to upload my posing routine from my last show to my profile also, but not sure yet if it worked.

My supps:
BCAA’s pre-cardio in the morning and pre and post workout and before bed
Creatine
Glutamine
AAKG
Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Calcium
Caffeine and Tyrosine - Pre workout
ZMA
Flameout
BETA-7
REZ-V

NANBF has banned HOT-ROX so I am going to have to construct my own. I am looking at using a Scorch, Yohimbe, and Carbolin 19 stack. Gets me close to the HOT-ROX formula with the 7-keto which is banned.

I average 60-75 seconds between all sets including between x1. and x2. on Saturday’s workout.

My starting bodyweight is 276 and I am 6-5. I am hoping to compete in the 240’s somewhere. I last competed in May 2005 at 218.

Why is HOT-ROX banned?

They banned DHEA and all derivatives of it, including 7-keto.

Here is the obligatory before shot in my messy bathroom from the first week of January to use as a starting reference point.

For the bodyfat experts I am sorry I forgot to hold a shoe in the picture.

Any pics for us?

nice work so far. are the high rep days ‘fat burning days’? or are they effective at muscle building?

It is primarily lactic acid training in an effort to stimulate GH release. It also works nice to deplete glycogen levels to make the cardio more effective. The carb up day after 3 3/4 days of the lower carb/lactic acid training helps signal the body that it is not starving and the replenishes glycogen for the strength work on Saturday.

The main goal for me is to lose fat while keeping muscle loss to an absolute minimum. Some will recognize it as a take on the Ultimate Diet, which it is, and my adjustments for me and my goals and what I know works for my body after several years of training and previous pre-contest routines.

Good luck bro you look like you know what your doing and got it all planned out. l8trz
