A good 2nd week back, weights still on the lighter side but had great workouts. Really fine tuning the mine over muscle connection, what I have set up for my back I really enjoy as I can really feel the muscles working. Next week will be my second go around at the weights and it's time to start killing the log book. Macros have also been bumped up to 45/45/20. Gonna be fun downing my meals with an extra 5grams of fat in there.... ugh. lol

Good start to the week last week felt great in the gym, then fell off the wagon late Thursday with Christmas and just enjoyed life eating normal and no gym. Only got 3 workouts in and a couple cardio sessions. Time to get back on the wagon. Everyone at work is complaining at work how they gained weight over Christmas... didn't want to be a douchebag and say I lost weight lol Was weighing 196-197 before Christmas rolled around. I was having pizza pops for breakfast, eating only 4-5 meals a day, playing video games like a little kid, loved it :D

Again couldn't stick to the plan 100% with New Years, missed a few meals, a workout, and went out New Years Even although it was very tame but had some drinks and appetizers. Time to get back on the train, nice little lax past couple weeks now ready to kill it. Had 3 workouts and beat the logbook. Can't wait to crack 200 again!

Finally back on track. Had my usual one meal out with friends but otherwise 100% on the diet. First week on the new 45/45/20 where I didn't deviate and it was really good. Packing on the size nicely, should hit the 201.5lbs in the next 2-4 which was my starting weight of the previous comp and that's when I'll throw updated pics up. I think in the long run taking this year off will be really beneficial for me competition wise. 200 is really the max I've pushed myself to previously and it wasn't a good sight at all. Gonna be fun to see how far I can push myself in 2012 while still maintaining some leanness. If I can step on stage with 10-15lbs of extra lean mass I'll be estatic.

Very happy with the way I'm looking at 200lbs. I haven't been at this weight since December 2010. Looking much bigger and leaner so means I'm doing something right the past year. Still lots of work to do and not big at all by any means, slow and stead wins the race. 4 more weeks of current blast and then I'm taking a break for a trip to Toronto. Looking into switching my training of DC to MountainDog potentially. Old adage of why fix what's not broken? But I've been doing DC for a long time and may be starting to get stale and could be good mentally to get a change of pace and also a lot of my exercise sequences now are from John Meadows ideas anyways.
Updated pics below. Gained about 7lbs since last set of pics and doesn't look like with much fat gain. Critique away.

Great week. Had an insane Chest/Shoulders/Tri workout Friday where I annihilated the log book. I got about 2-3 weeks left in this blast and I'm already putting up higher numbers for all my lifts then the end of the last blast and some of them by quiet a bit. Having some hesitations about switching from DC since it's really all I know, but really intrigued by John Meadow's methods and trying to put a program together to give it at least a 10-12 week go at it.
Cals are going to be bumped up this week to 50/50/20.

New macros suck. Lots of food and slept in a few days this week so had to really push end of day to get all my meals in, it's not nice when 7pm rolls around and you still got 3 meals and a bedtime shake to put down still. Switched up my training on Thursday as my mind was starting to wander into the next program already so might as well change now instead of going 75% the rest of my blast. Still doing a push/pull/legs type split like I am currently but volume has been increased and see how I respond after 4 weeks and then reassess into next phase. I slept 11-12 hours for Thursday and Friday night after switching it up as it was a big shock to my body. Hopefully it'll be for the better. Weight jump was pretty significant this week but with most of my changes I've noticed I get a big jump then either flatline or pullback a bit and then slow gains. Hoping my body just moves on these macros for a extended period of time as I am not looking forward to eating any much more then my 50/50/20 macros. Finally got to and past my highest weight from 2010. Was 201.5lbs Dec 1 so a little over a year progress and pretty happy so far and looking forward to even bigger changes in 2012 and looking to 2013 provincials to redeem myself on stage.

New program going good, handling the extra volume well and enjoying change of pace. The pumps are insane. Volume on legs is brutal though, both workouts felt nauseous towards the end and just wanted to lie in the fetal afterwards. Cut back slightly on the carbs this past week and looking a touch leaner. Will run same setup for another week.

Little late on the update, stats from this past Friday. Kinda surprised 2nd week of calorie cuts and I made such a big jump in weight instead of losing a bit more weight, everything diet and cardio was on par. Body adjusting well to the higher volume and beating the log book.
