| Re: James Llewellin's 'Arnold Classic' preparation thread Cheers Martin, hope you are well and those legs are growing!!!!
Today is 27th November 2007
My weight this morning was unchanged.
I was going to train back back today but its still just a little sore from thursday!!!!
Trained a little shoulders with some pressing and rear delts with dbells.
Up again on the Dbell press today from last week. 50kg dumbells for 10 reps this week so 2 up from last week.
Pump was silly again today so much so that I had to rest my arms on the back of a bench to stop the pain from it.
I started using my MP supplements today.
Just going on taste a lot better than I was expecting. The 'Total Protein' is very similar to propeptide in consistency and mixes very well in shaker and in my porridge this morning.
I had the whey isolate PWO today too. I have some vitargo left so I am using that along with it at the moment and some peptide bonded glutamine too. Again mixing was good and taste was good even tho I am not a fan of isolate taste. I had this one unsweetened and LOADS better than the normal sweet taste associated with isolate.
All protein powders and WMS I had flavoured with the Chocolate Smooth.
Pre workout I had the 'Pulse' which is a N.O product and the taste of the berry blast is up there with NO Explode and the like. Great tingle too from the beta alanine in it.
Started the 'Total Performance' too today which is a multi vit/min formula split into AM and PM format like a very well known brand.
Used the ZMA last night too, first time I have used this type of product in 4 years. Had a good nights kip too except for getting up to eat!!!
I used the 'sida codifolia' (standardised to approximately 30mgs ephedra per capsule) and the 'caffeine pro' (200mgs). Although tired when I woke I soon perked up ready for my cardio.
So all in all impressed. Cant comment on the results yet (obviously) but taste was good and a lot better than I was expecting (didn't really know what to expect TBH)
Apart from the WMS, some vits/mins, ultra fine oats and amino acids I hadn't tried any of the other products that I am using now from MP. I know Tom uses the activated barley and rates that.
Tomorrow I will have another day off the weights and then hit back on thursday by which time it will be ready. Legs will be hit on sat this week instead of sunday.
Talking to Troy on sunday he has already started his diet for the Ironman which is 2 weeks prior to the Arnold. It really hit home how close it is and with time rushing by it will be no time before I am on stage again, hopefully showing a little improvement from the British.
I will then have a proper off season and altho eating clean and staying lean I will push for a little more mass and improvements before the British in Oct. It certainly is a nice feeling knowing that this year I dont have to worry about qualifying again.
I picked up another 3 clients today (all BBers looking to compete) so next spring will be a busy time for me, helping me keep motivated for later in the year. I have decided that next year I wont be prepping anyone in the lead up to the British, I just want to concentrate on ME; time to be a little selfish for once!!
Next year will be equally tough as this years LH class so I dont want any unnecessary distractions....I want to win and will be doing everything I can to realise that goal.
