Hey guys. As of right now I'm planning to compete in the New Brunswick Provincial Championship held in Fredericton November 10th, 2012. As of right now, I do not have a contest prep coach or anything but I'll likely inquire with the guru I used in the last 6 weeks of my prep last time. Except this time use him for the full 16 weeks.

As for the log, I'm just using this as a tool to help keep me motivated and pick up any tips and advice from more experienced bodybuilders out there. Last year I placed 3rd in the Middleweight division at this show, and this year I'm simply looking to improve on that placing, or in turn move up a weight class but come in in the same condition as I was in November 2011.

With regards to my off season, I've been training a few new things with the dieting aspect; I've implemented the use of Waxy Maize which is new to me. I've been doing about 50g of Waxy Maize with 50g of Whey 45-60 mins Pre-Workout. Drinking BCAA's during workout and then using 50g Waxy Maize and 50g of Whey Immediately post workout. I also have been doing 30 minutes of cardio post workout, not to stay lean but to try to increase my appetite so I can eat more.

Diet-wise I try to eat clean most of the time. It's pretty standard food I eat; Carbs: Oats, Sweet Potato, Brown Rice, Blueberries and Waxy Maize. Protein: Beef, Chicken, Tilapia, Salmon, Shrimp, Greek Yogurt and Whey. Fats: Olive Oil, Nuts and Nut Butters. I also add green veggies as desired.

I don't eat on a particular plan, usually 6-8 meals per day whenever I'm hungry. Shooting for 50g of Protein, 30-50g of Carbs and 15-20g of Fat each meal. I'll also have a cheat meal a couple of days a week, usually its a greasy burger and fries, pizza, or wings and a beer with some buds.

Today the weight was 206, (Competed onstage at 176) and will have pics and continues updates to come

Enjoy.
