Tom Blackman show prep for UKBFF British Champs 2007

Yey another diet thread to remind you how draining and stressful a bbing show prep is.

Yet another collection of random ramblings by myself over 12 weeks which Im sure you'll be sick of by the end of it.

So as most of you know this years U90kg British class will be a hotly contested affair, in the running so far

James (Flex) Lewis (1st 2006)
James (Mutant Freak) Llewelyn (1st U80 2005)
Mark Price (2nd 2005)
Barney Du Plessis (2nd 2006)
Simon Fan (1st 2003?)
Martin Burford - who was competing when I first started training 10 years ago and trained at my gym in Worcester, one of my inspirations for bbing and why I got into it in the first place.

Some of these guys still have to qualify but Im sure they will with no problem

So 6 potential class winners right there and then me as well. The prospect is a daunting one to say the least.

I have already been dieting for 2 weeks, one of those weeks was by accident cos I got my dates mixed up :(

This year sees a departure from my previous dieting methods. Previously I have guesstimated my total calorie intake and not kept a food diary, preferring to go by the mirror as to how I look. However while this has produced results I have not achieved my best I feel.

Therefore this year has seen me annotate my food diary every day and I will be posting up my diary on here in the form of a spreadsheet so that you can see it. I have got all the nutrient info from www.nutritiondata.com or the back of the packets of the food.

Also training for this diet is different from previous. Before I have tried to cram in all bodyparts into the week but I have seen good results from a 8 day training plan in the off season so I will simply follow this up to the show. This allows all my bodyparts to rest for longer between sessions but I still train monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, sat. With abs on wednesday.

So thats it. More details later on.

Re: Tom Blackman show prep for UKBFF British Champs 2007

I kind of expected this thread today......(12 week mark),

Like you say that is one daunting line up, and surley contains some suprises.......
Anyway I look forward to seeing how you progress Tom.

Both this and James thread running at the same time will bring an element of excitment to the board.

PS the addition of spreadsheet will be a nice touch and give us all a further insight to how you guys prep.

Re: Tom Blackman show prep for UKBFF British Champs 2007

This is going to be interesting for sure. I think both Tom and James will produce their best to date for the British this year and the U90 class is going to be a right tear up with the possibility of those other guys also being on stage.

I would have to agree with MASSIVE MONSTER. I'm sure with this sort of line up it will only push you (TT), and the the like of James on.

Best of luck, I'll be reading with interest and taking notes for class...

all done bye bye

Re: Tom Blackman show prep for UKBFF British Champs 2007

Mr Blackman,

At last the widely anticipated contest thread is here and I for one will be glued to it.

I like your approach this time as regards to the diet and this can only help you achieve your best conditioning to date. And like most things in this crazy sport, if it aint broke dont fix it and I see you are employing your normal off season training in your pre contest plan....good call.

The extra rest will do you the world of good, I should know, I'm bloody resting more than training!!!

I honestly mean this when i say I wish you all the success in the world this year, no-one works harder than you and your determination is steadfast. That doesn't mean to say I'll be rolling over tho and letting you tickle my belly!! I know with both of us prepping together it will benefit us both and we can pick each other up if we need to.

Yes, personal success is important to me but equally important is to see someone like yourself realise your true potential and the same can be said for Wade, Paul, Del etc.
This sport is hard enough without the endless backstabbing that goes on. Us lot on here on UK-Muscle have a good balance of banter and competitiveness and thats what makes us champions and makes us want to help each other and for us all to be the best we can be.

As I said in my thread, you are one of the reasons I am competing again. That look on your face when you won the S Coast show was priceless. A look of 'suprise' but also 'inevitability' and the grin you had from ear to ear while you tucked into your Nando's.

I know, and have every faith in you, that you can be better this time and I think you know that too. Your approach will be meticulous and that is what separates the champions from the also rans.

Best of luck Tom and if you ever want a chat or just wind me up you know my number. I hope we can meet in around 2 weeks to smash them weights up and have a good feed.

J

Re: Tom Blackman show prep for UKBFF British Champs 2007

You should be a poet in your spare time James.

Its right what you said, although we are competing against each other we only really compete against ourselves to be better. I cant do anything about how other people look so I just have to be better, I'm sure you think the same.

I think the energy on stage will be awesome with all of us there.

We will definately have some good eating in a few weeks mate will be good to have a training session while we are both in the zone so to speak.

Its weird how you say you are looking forward to my diary as I've already sneaked some ideas from yours lol.

Another convert to the 'need to get out more' club! Seriously though Tom, I think you'll really see a difference in your condition when you have a tight handle on the numbers. This years line up is going to be scary as hell.

Glad I'm not doing it this year..................

Re: Tom Blackman show prep for UKBFF British Champs 2007

Attached is my diet diary from yesterday. I have noticed that excel is not a supported document so I've had to snapshot it for you.

You'll see that I stay at around 3000 cals a day, 350g protein and 300g carbs on average.

This week I am increasing my fats a little bit but the diet is essentially the same.

I have included a calorie expenditure bit at the bottom as I plan to buy a calorie watch soon to more accurately measure my expenditure in the day.

Training last night was Hamstrings and Calves I did this

Lying Leg curls x 4
romanian deads x 4
broom handle leg curls x 4 (blatently poached from Paul George via Paul Booth)
Single leg curls x 3
DB SLDL x 3

Standing calf x 4
Seated Calf x 4
Single leg Calf x 3
Toe Pokes x 3

I rarely vary the weight at the moment as I like to feel the movemnt a bit more. Exept for the first few sets on each bodypart the weight remains the same although that also depends on how I feel.

I did about 20 minutes cardio after my workout on the steppa and that was enough. lol.
