Well.. after sitting down and evaluating my pics, and my upcoming events next year I've laid any more comps that I contemplated to rest.
I have to add some major upperbody muscle If I intend to pull off this BB comp early next year. I've always wanted to do one... Only one to close that chapter in my life so I need to start preparing for it.
I lost alot of upper body muscle cutting and then even more dieting harder to bring down my legs.
I figured that if I try to cut for a November show and then Do another in Late May early June it just wouldn't be enough time inbetween growth and then cutting again. I can't burn to ends of the candle.
So now its all about Strength and growth. I'm gonna be doing a modified Powerlifting/Strength program along with a good clean diet but higher cals and carbs right after Vacation Early Sept.
My body is responding great already to the training, and maintence diet I'm on. I figure last year just to prepare for figure i added 10+ extra lbs and then when I shed the fat I was still to small on the upper half. Alot of that due to the lack of training for an extended period of time after my elbow surgery. I was able to train my legs, which just totally blew my upper body away. I hadn't contemplated Figure at that point so I wasn't worried about it. But when I decided to do a show I knew it would be hell on me to come in proportionate.. and I was right.
now i figure I need to add anywhere between 10-20lbs to my weight now. (YIKES.. REALLY NOT LIKING THIS) and then when I cut just pray I hold on to more muscle.
Wish me luck
