Julien G 2014 Contest Prep(s) Thread


Here we go! Time to start the prep. I am currently 16weeks out from my next show

What I will try to do with this thread, instead of posting random pics and vids is really just go into prep details, and let you in on as much as what John Meadows and I are doing week to week

I will post the updates I send John’s, the pics, and any change to diet/training/cardio

Basically keep this as informative as possible thruout the whole prep without random stuff

If you do want random pics/vids just follow my instagram or facebook

My goal for 2014 is to make it to the Nationals, if possible. They are held in my city this year so that would be great. First show i’ll be doing is a provincial qualifier…you just have to do the show to be able to attend the provincials, which is weird and I could go in completely off but…not my style lol

So here we go…

Yeah Buddy!

Definitely looking forward to following along. You did so well in your first outing, that I have no doubt you’ll be raising the bar this time.

Very excited to see your progress and follow your training.

I’m looking forward to this, I’m definitely in. Thanks for posting and thanks JM for the freedom of information!

A full year of off-season has treated you well, what would you say has come up the most?

Good luck bud and thanks for the details and log.

Biceps and lats, I think

I’ll be incorporating some occluded training during prep, by the way

Can’t post too much details about training though

Curious Zraw why on your off days do you have carbs later in the day, or is that just convenient for you?
