Ok time to give this a much needed update. Back into prep now.
So we are finally opening gyms here in a couple days. It’s been a long, horrible year. So far in 2021, I’ve only had access to a gym for 6 weeks. Started off the year in a lock down, then mid-February, I got the opportunity to access a gym, and then we went into a “4 week” lockdown on April 2 that has lasted 15 weeks.
Luckily from past experiences, as soon as they announced the last lockdown, I knew it wouldn’t be only 4 weeks, and I managed to pickup a rack, some weights and a bench. Cost me a fortune, but it was well worth it.
However, even though I did manage to continue to workout, the progress (if any) has been miniscule.
Just not the same when you are limited to a barbell. Did the basics as much as my old man body allowed me, but man I look forward to being back in a fully equipped gym.
The highest weight I reached was 262lbs, for the last 6 weeks, I’ve been slowly dieting down, and I’m hovering now between 244 and 247, depending on diet/refeeds.
The weight drop is good, but I looked a lot different last November at 247lbs. Now that was a post contest rebound, so that’s pretty much expected.
As always (it has been my only source for the last couple years) I’ve been using Bodytech Pharma, and will be doing so this prep.
I started 6 weeks ago, and the plan was to run 500 Test E, 400 Tren E, and 400 Mast E. However, due to lazyiness, loss of motivation, and maybe just being tired of pinning, it was more like 250 Teste E, 200 Tren E, and 200 Mast E for those weeks. Maybe a couple times I got 2 shots in for the week, but mostly it was once a week, or every 6 days.
But with the gyms opening, it looks like there is a very good chance, I will be competing in 9 weeks and possibly 7 weeks. In 9 weeks I plan to do Canadian Nationals (September 18), and if everything goes well, no issues with the border, and I’m ready in time, I hope to also do the North Americans in 7 weeks (September 1st). North Americans is the only show I competed in last year, and only had 5 weeks back in the gym and still managed to place 4th. So hoping, I’m in a much better spot now.
So no more missing shots, and I’m planning to bump the oils this week to the following:
750 Test E
600 Tren E
600 Mast E
Next week will thrown in Clen at 50mcg daily, and will probably start oral winstrol at 50mg per day. Hoping the winstrol will give me a nice quick boost being back in the gym.
Will continue that, and then later thinking about throwing in Anavar, and the last couple weeks Anadrol (if I’m conditioned enough). I did that last year, getting ready for the Canadian Nationals which later turned into the TO Pro Qualifier, which ended up getting cancelled the day before the show. It sucked getting ready for 4 months, I think I had my best look ever. It was the first time I tried Anadrol on prep, and BT Pharma did not disappoint. Got super full, and had a whole new look (being tall I normally look lanky imo)
Diet is as Follows:
Upon Waking:
1 scoop Protein Shake
Pre-Workout
Intra Workout of: 20g EAAS, 30g Dextrose (Gatorade), 5 to 10g Creatine
1 scoop Protein Shake Post Workout
Meal 1:
100g Cream of Rice
2 scoop Protein
50g mixed berries
Meal 2:
170g (cooked weight) Rice
200g Chicken Breast
Handful mixed veggies (stir fry mix)
Meal 3:
Can of Tuna
Couple Cups of Spring Mix/Kale/Arugula
Meal 4:
170g (cooked weight) Rice
220g Basa Loins
Handful mixed veggies (stir fry mix)
Meal 5*:
170g (cooked weight) Rice
200g Chicken Breast
Handful mixed veggies (stir fry mix)
* Sometimes I replace this meal with a couple Chicken breast burgers with cheese, or a Cheesburger and a Chicken burger (homemade), if I dropped weight too quickly or extra hungry. Will probably stop now, but so far been doing it every few days.
This is about 2675 Calories per day, 305g Protein, 286g Carbs, and 33g Fat.
If I do the Chicken burgers for lunch, it bumps it up to just over 3000 calories.
As far as cardio, have done any yet other than walking the dog a couple times a day.
[SIZE=11pt]Once gym open up (this Friday), I plan to start off with a Push Pull Legs workout. [/SIZE]Will probably adjust in a couple weeks, to focus on what I need to bring up (arms, shoulders, chest), so it might be push pull legs push pull shoulder/arms legs. Will take off days as needed. Will probably have to force myself, as the mistake I did last year, I think I never took a day off for 5 weeks once the gyms opened ha ha…. Not the smartest move.
[SIZE=11pt]Anyways, will update more (and regularly) once I'm back in the gym. Will provide diet/gear updates, workouts etc if there is interest in following it. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Here is a couple pics from back near the end of May vs this week. [/SIZE]
