Pre-Contest Log: Shredding for the Stage

[psizzle_8]

I changed it according to my goals...I switched to a standard set/rep routine, but since I'm still focused on fat loss rather than gaining, I feel like this program is a better fit right now. And yes changing it up is always good

I'm not focused at all with weight...I'm gonna keep increasing reps each week for a few more weeks for one thing...for two, my knees are very bad, so I have to be pretty careful with legs.

And of course, shoot me a PM anytime

Today was an off day, spent it on campus and running errands...manage to fit in some P90x Kenpo this evening, worked up a good sweat, always been a favorite of mine in that program

Also started a low dose var cruise today...will keep you guys updated on that

I've always turned into a different person when I'm on AAS and I already feel that coming on...i get in the zone and very strict with my dieting and training, as one should be when running AAS. Not starting my official prep for a few weeks...by the time I do itll definitely be exciting.

Im still reading every day. even if I havnt been posting. Hey I thought you were going all natural for this competition lol?

15-20 reps per set is a killer. I did that with squats for a few weeks to get my endurance up.

I was when I was doing a tested show in April...now that I'm doing an untested show in July it's game on lol

I'm doing 15 reps for arms, adding a rep each week...for legs I'm at 20, going up to 25 probably. Was doing up to 30 with my last regimen but I doubt I go that high with this circuit, 25 is usually the sweet spot for me with this plan

Shoulders

Overhead DB shoulder press - 25lbs
Side lateral raise - 12lbs
Front raise - 12lbs
Bent over rear delt raise - 15lbs
Upright row (cable) - 80lbs
Reverse pec deck - 70lbs
Cardio burst

Repeat circuit 3x

No cardio today...resting my stupid toe. Over it. Such a damn annoying ass ailment

Tomorrow is arms, next to my leg day that workout is my longest because I'm hitting two muscle groups, therefore doing two circuits, and with the added cardio burst at the end of each, it adds up...so I had the 'I'll more than make up for it tomorrow' mindset when I made the decision to cut out cardio today.

This regimen works out nicely for this weekend...gonna work my ass off tomorrow just like every other day, then relax with the fam on Easter Sunday ...but knowing me I'll be doing cardio lol
