Contest Prep for 2010 Provincials

[JonnyO]

Ive read taking some Glutamine between meals can help curb hunger. Havent tried it myself. I dont have a problem with it when Im at work as I can find ways to keep my mind off it but when at home its the opposite, so I would have some sugar free jello, just a few mouths full when I am craving something really bad. But come like 8-10 weeks out nothing other than whats on the plan is ingested...last year not even any diet sodas (they were my crutch in the past) according to Farrah, diet soda can interfere with amino acid uptake. I havent looked into that though but he doesnt allow diet sodas with his clients, on the other hand Hany Rambod does, so who knows.

my apologies, i didnt realize you were a natty.....

No worries buddy, with the mass list of substances on the list I couldn't even compete natty anyways lol
I've taken Clen and Ephedrine and apparently you cant even trust test boosters anymore! I don't think I will ever do a Natural show. Whats the point! There are too many things that can make you fail and then all of a sudden you are tagged as a liar! Screw that lol! I like competing with the big dogs haha!
I appreciate any help you guys give me regardless. I don't care what it is cause I like to have a knowledge of everything. Even if I am not going to take something.

[shredded_Tris]

does that actually work?

Been considering it myself...

So What exactly is Meridia D?
Sorry if that sounds like a stupid ass question

Thx J.O.
Maybe I will try that this weekend cause I do have some extra glutamine kicking around. How much did you hear to take? Could be great for boosting recovery while I am not working out on the weekends too

Man that is a lot of sets!! I'd be dead for a month on that routine during a cut.

Yeah it looks a lot bigger when I write it down lol
It only took me about an hour twenty I think
I tried not to rest too much
Like I've said my legs have been my weaker part in the past. Hopefully after all my hard work this off-season they will be much stronger!
I haven't slacked off for legs even once this past year!

I will tone it down soon as I get more depleated of course
I usually do Giant Sets during contest prep

Note to Self:

When Dieting make sure not to heat food up too much!!! You are Starving and eating a piping hot meal in five minutes will burn all the taste buds off your tongue!! DUMBASS!! lol

I love carb day!
Just had 6oz. Chicken Breast, 2 cups or so of brocolli, and 6oz of Sweet potato.

I have been having a wicked craving lately for Uderly Devine Ice Cream and Chinese Food. I am a sucker for Chinese, it's always been my favorite.

My Girlfriend is also the most incredible baker on the planet. I can't wait to be able to eat all her creations after this madness is done!

Later on today is Arms and I am always pumped to do arms. As long as I can stay away from the cravings I will be ok. I think I am going to be good. My trick is RPG Games lol I turn into a nerd for the last bit of my contest prep. It's funny.....I am not a gamer by any means and might play like a few minutes in like 6 months but when I am dieting it is the only thing that makes me Forget about eating completely. It's my Dieting trick and has kept me completely out of the Cheats so far.

I am going to be completely honest with the cheating with you guys so I can stay more focused.

Agreed. Although most of those look like warm-ups while leading into the heaviest working sets it is an incorrect way to go about this.

What I would do instead is:

95x15
135x15
175x6
225x3
275x1

What first 3 sets are meant just to warm the muscle/knee and get some blood flowing with remaining 3 getting your body adjusted to the heavier weight without actually fatiguing the system.

So after the 275 then what?
I find it kind of pointless to do one rep of anything....especially during a cut. Is this just how you recommend warming up? Those five sets then the working ones.
