Late update again, this is from the past Sunday. Changing the training program a bit and adding a bit more volume and intensity (drop sets). Going to try 50/50/20 on training days only and see how it goes.

Good week, was suppose to do legs again today but hammies are still sore so took the day off. Will see how tomorrow feels. Look a touch leaner then a few weeks back when I hit 205. Very happy with the offseason so far and I think I'll end up being happy with my decision at the last minute to take the whole year off to put on some much needed size. Next up... 210 :D

Good week, couple workouts were cut short due to me not getting my shit together and arriving to the gym late and having it close before I'm done. High Volume legs is killing me. This is biggest I've been in ages (back to fatty days), still not too soft but probably going to be slowly the gains to a crawl now. I'm assuming there's a lot of bloat cause I can drop 6-7lbs overnight easily if I am able to have a long sleep. Couple times where I've missed a bedtime shake and had a good long sleep and wake up looking very tight in the midsection. One of my goals was to bring up the lower lats due to my high lat insertions, comparing pics from a couple months ago looks like that plan is starting to take shape.
Marcos = Macros?

Another good week. Big jump in weight, likely cause I had more red meat in my diet this week then I normally do. Shelby is happy with how I'm holding things together as my weight keeps increasing at a decent clip. First week I didn't feel like death after legs, but bad thing is one more week with current program and then we'll likely switch things up again and likely more pain with the leg training. Arg. lol

Missed a couple meals and a cardio session this week and my weight dropped from it. I imagine I probably overshot last week slightly with bloat or whatever and this week it was kind of a snapback. Still feeling good, changing my workout again this coming week. Thinking it will be my last 4 week phase before a deload and cruise. Still feel good and joints aren't achy but want to be proactive and get proper rest before I'm overtrained and then decide to do it.

Big jump in weight this week. Holding the weight very nicely in the front, still have a slight outline of abs. However, from the rear the lower back is starting to get blurry and we're going to be keeping a close eye on it. Might be cutting things back in the next 2-3 weeks or even go on a mini diet to clean things up.

Another big jump in weight. Felt good in the gym this week and crushed some PRs on squats but recovery was starting to lag. Wasn't feeling recovered and have been always tired and needing naps. Think it's time to cruise this week and also chance to lighten up the calories. Lower back is starting to get too blurry. Dropping down to 50/30/15 this week to lean up.
Updated pics. Left is end of the year at 195.9lbs and right is comparison at 211.5lbs. Something really trying to focus on this year is hammering the back and think I can see some improvements in terms of width and thickness. Width has always been there relatively speaking, but thickness was a weak point.

Cruise week, just did a simple push/pull/leg split with high reps. Did no cardio, it was absolutely amazing haha Also threw some cheat meals in there. Surprised my weight still dipped pretty good. Worked the novice and provincial supershow this weekend and had a great time. Chatted with big Ron Partlow briefly back stage, seemed like a really cool and down to earth guy. Ran into Dorian Yates backstage and said hi, but didn't get a chance to talk with him or take a pic unfortunately. After watching the show I am happy I took the year off, it was stiff competition all around especially in the lightweight and welterweight classes. I think I would have had a hard time being middle of the pack for either classes. However, I'm very motivated now to keep killing it and should hopefully bring a good package next year. I know what I got to work on. Lots of guys had impressive upper bodies, but few had great set of wheels. Hopefully my leg sessions from hell will pay off.
Back to the grind this week, got my new split from Shelby this AM and I think I puked a little after seeing it.... going to a 5 day split and it looks pretty brutal. Split is chest/shoulders, glutes/hams, Back/calves, Shoulder/Arms/Upper back, legs. Also trying out some DAA (MG's Test Booster) from Trueprotein I got last week. See if it does anything.
