Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
Hi Guys

Having been inspired by the pre comp threads of James L, Luke, Pscarb, Del and Tom B I've decided to do a journal for my prep leading to the NABBA North West First Timers.

The main reason I'm doing the show is to a) set myself a challenge and b) actually see what muscle I really have.

I'm currently weighing in at 17st 7lb @ 5' 11" with bodyfat probably around 20% (james L saw a pic of me at 18 st from a few weeks back and put my bf just over 20% .. thanks James

Diet wise a typical day will look like this:

1 40g whey in water, 100g oats .. shortly followed by

2 6 eggs (5 white, 1 yolk), 1 banana

3 250g chicken 60g rice

Train - Post w/o 40g whey in water, 60g malto

4 Same as meal 3

5 same as meal 3 + veg

6 250g steak + veg

7 40g whey in water or 6 egg whites

Training is over a 4 way split:

Quads & Hams
Chest & triceps
Delts & Calves
Back & Biceps

Usually do 6-10 working sets for larger bodyparts, and 4-6 for smaller. Reps range from 8-20 depending on the bodypart, I also employ techniques such as rest pause and drop sets when needed.

Have been dieting since 1st Jan and so far so good (LOL after only 4 days). I'm really excited about this challenge and looking forward to seeing what the end result will be. I'm under no illusion re: placing as I am a realist but I do actually feel like I'm aiming towards being a 'proper' bodybuilder now.

Pics will hopefully get posted at the end of Jan when I've shifted a bit more lard.

That's all for now, I'll update next week with a workout.

Cheers

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
Con .. contest is early May.

Was at a loose end today so decided to do hams and calves as these are a weak point

Lying leg curl 3 work sets
Standing leg curl 2 works sets each leg
Stiff leg deadlift (kept these light as just wanted to stretch my hamstrings out) and did 2 ets of 20 reps

Calf raise x4 with a deep stretch at the end
seated calf raise x2 with a deep stretch at the end

Diet has been okay today but struggled a bit as lots to do with family today, need to get a bit more orgainsed.
Seem to have pulled something in my neck as well which isn't ideal :(

Re: Marsbars Journey to the NABBA North West First Timers
BW down to 17st 3lb. Diet going well and haven't found myself craving anything yet but I'm sure this will change as the weeks drag on.

Did legs today and decided to try the much touted staggered leg press so after some light leg ext I did a few warm upsets of normal leg press then switched to staggered with 5 plates per side. All started off swimmingly and at first I didn't see what the fuss was but as the reps hit the high teens I got it. The pump and burn is unreal .. there is no place to hide on these as the muscle is under constant tension. I managed about 25 reps with my right foot leading (higher) then switched over to my left and got about 16. For the next set I led with my left then switched to right when that failed. I did 4 sets in all (2 left leading and 2 right). My quads were very very pumped after these. Moved on to leg ext and could only manage 50k for 15 reps ... did 2 sets then finished off with machine hack squats for 2 sets. Had proper 'bambi' legs after this and it took me lomger than normal to walk backto work. Anticiapte bad DOMS tomorrow. Will deffo be inclding staggered leg press from now on.
