Thanks bigtavi8 and MusulPhreAk, inchallah it will be a succes. I'm happy because i have now a place where i can meet my clients for my coaching, so i can do at my store the update for their nutrition and training programm, they can pose, ask me question and so.
So Loutfi when will you start your prep for the Canadian Nationals or North Americans this year? I'm assuming you will just be doing the NA's because you already took the Canada's last year. Whats your current weight sitting? Hows the training going?
Sorry for the late response bigtavi8 and nice to meet you at Toronto too ! lol
SO ! I WILL NOT do the North America.
I will only focuse at 100% on the Canadian this year.
Yes i took the show last year ... but only my class the SH.
So the goal is to repeat it PLUS the overall and the pro card with it inchallah.
Great news, I've got a new sponsor.
Details VERY soon.
Stay tuned.
sick!
Hi everybody,
So here is the official announce and my preparation for Canada begins on strong basis.
My new sponsor is Dr Charest from Centre chiropratique de Vimont.
Dr Charest, with his treatmnet, is going to make sure that i have a strong spine so i can train heavy and intense.
I will try to put pics and videos during my preparation for the show. Training, diet, chiro treatment, posing, ...
Good for you Loutfi. Looking forward to seeing your prep and how you're going to do this year.
Hi guys, my preparation for the nationals has begun. I was updating only my page facebook and forget to do it here ... sorry.
So i will do it now. Sorry for the delay.
Monday, jully 25th.
11 weeks out. Legs day. I do more sets this week. Great pump today for the legs. If i had trouble to leave the gym and walk to my car ... i'm on track. Feel good to feel that pain in legs .. hmmm !! ...
I just bought my secret weapon this evening ... a notebook ! As for all my contests i will write down everything i eat everyday : carbs, protein, day after day. Yes that's a lot of work but i pays off and you'll see the results of all this hard work in 11 weeks.
Jully 26th
Cardio plan : I begun my cardio 1 month ago with 15mn, 1/week. After that i went to 20mn 2/week and slowly added 5mn per session to reach 30mn. Now since last week 30mn 3/week. 2 sessions are done on rest days and before breakfast.
The goal is to adapt my body to use fat as energy. But also to have better heart, better pump, and better recovery.

Back training this morning. 4 sets per exercice, fast pace. And since a few days, i'm hungry, little headaches ... so yes, the diet has really begun now. ;-)

Cowabunga ! Back and chest this morning.
Feeling in the back is fantastic. FUUUULL !! So full, i've done a lat spread after my session, it's like i have and i feel a turle shell in my back.
What's on the menu for Big L.A. this week ?
Double contraction and 3 drops sets.
Double contraction on the 1st and 2nd set.
Drop sets 3 times on the last set of each exercise.
For sure with all that high intensity, i will do 3, 2 and some times only 1 set per exercise.
August 16th
Great training this morning. Shoulders and traps hard as rock !
Double contraction are great to have that feeling.
Hams and calves at the end ... finishing with cardio on stairs 15mn.
this thread is useless without pics....haha j/k keep grinding it out buddy just under 8 weeks to go now.
Way to go buddy, keep it up.
Thanks guys for the support. Prep is going very well.
Don't worry JonnyO i will post pics in less than 2 weeks ... ;-) (if i reach 100 fans on my facebook page lol)
this facebook crap is getting out of hand lol
your condition was incredible when you won mr quebec , how much heavier you plan be on stage ?
Thanks Blp,
My condition was much better a few weeks after at Canadians, it was the best shape of my life.
I don't like to plan on the weight but i'll be around 230 pounds, so 5 more pounds than last year at Canada.
Cool video Loutfi. J'adore ces types de vidéos qui démontre des exemples concrets dans la vie des athlètes. Bonne chance pour championnat canadien.
good luck, you gained a lot of weight in the offseason. Seeing that you are only going to be 5 lbs of lean mass heavier than last year, in retrospect would it not have been healthier and less dieting, to have kept your bodyweight down, and focused on packing on mainly lean muscle in the offseason?Quote:

Jason, ... you are thinking too much buddy lol
No i would change nothing, because here you see only 5 pounds, wich is just a digit, i give it as an estimation that's it. The physic will be more mature, better density.
Also some time you plan a lot of things, and it's just don't happen as planned. With my opening store, my moving, ... it was hard for me to stay focused, i began my prep a little bit later. Hope it's enough explication mr Jason :flagC
thats ok Lou, just making the thread more interesting. Good luck out there buddy I'm not sure if i'll be there or not.
Nice bench.
Thanks MP.

Although, to be in contention for the overall, I would kick it up a few notches. In fact, I truly feel Loutfi would look best as a top end heavyweight.
I'm sure LA will know how to pull it together...he was the definition of ripped last year.
I think it is a ruse by him trying to fool us into thinking he isn't ready. That's probably an old pic from last years dieting, he is trying to lull his competition into thinking he isnt going to show up in shape.
Good work Loutfi....You look like you have put on some beef since last year.....I remember looking at your pics last yr, and i thought you were behind, but then you looked real good on show day...I do see that in same or better condition you did put on muscle...good work, i think if you keep up that level of gains, big things will come in a couple of yrs....Look forward to seeing the final presentation...
Id have to agree with you on that!Quote:
