Re: James Llewellin's 'Arnold Classic' preparation thread

Thankyou to everyone, it really makes the whole process that much easier knowing I have the support of others here.
Dieting is a lonely process esp this time of year but I know that it wont be long before people like Little Luke, Pitbull etc are in the same boat and looking forward to competing in the spring.

Today is Sunday 6th January 2008

DAY 11

Weigh this morning....Dont actually know as legs were too sore to step up the inch to the platform.

You may have guessed that yesterday was leg day.

You may also have guessed that my legs are now hurting.

What you wont have guessed is that they are more painfull from doing less, just one main exercise in fact for quads.

After warm ups on leg ext we then went onto the hack squat. This time however I used a slightly different foot position and also paused at the bottom (right to the stoppers) before exploding up (well kind of exploding).
I think we did around 5 sets in total and worked up to 3.5 plates a side. Pausing at the bottom, however, really did make the exercise hard and I mean 'seeing stars hard!'
On the last set I did 20 reps with 45kgs a side pausing again at the bottom on the last 5.

After this I was spent so we went straight onto hams.

We started with SLDL and pyramided up to 170kgs for 6 reps. Nytol was showing off and did 220kgs for 6. He is strong at this exercise and each rep was perfect with a straight back and slight knee bend.
We both improved on the weight we did last week so we were both happy.
Next we did single lying leg curls and did 3 sets. The last exercise was seated leg curls and we again did 3 sets.
My hams were screaming by the end but felt really pumped and today they are proper sore.
Next week we are going to start with hams and do quads after, for a change.

Today I did some cardio this morning and then took my progress pics, then most of the day was spent helping a friend out for his kids 4th Bday party. The party went well and we have just got in from it.

Tomorrow we are training chest and biceps and then the rest of the day will be spent working in one shape or form.

I have been feeling really good for the past 3-4 days since I shook off this virus I had over the new year period. Cardio has felt easy and training has been looked forward to and well executed.
One thing I have noticed over the last day or so is how much more frequently I have been peeing both during the day and the night and my fluid intake has been very similar. I have done nothing different or taken anything different apart from a few new supplements from M.P

I have now introduced some N.O capsules instead of the carb pre workout drink (Pulse) and also put in some ALCAR caps as well (acetyl-l-carnitine), but I wouldn't have thought these would have caused any water loss.

My appetite has been huge over the last week but I am eating frequently enough for it not to be a major issue; I always knew upping the cardio would make a difference even though it is only an extra 15 mins daily.

So another week comes to a close and it wont be long before I compete and I for one cant wait to get up there and enjoy every second of it whatever the outcome may be.
