Hi Greg,

Firstly best of luck for your first show and I hope you are able to find some useful bits in this thread to make your prep enjoyable, yet effective.

You WILL get results if you are consistent and focused on the job in hand. Its all too easy for some to take the path of least resistance but that's what separates us from the 'also rans'.

Keep us all updated

James what does your daily meal plan look like at the moment and will you be changing anything up to a week out? I started my diet and prep this week and this thread has been great motivation for me.

Well this week ive been starting work early so ive been going to bed between 9 and 10pm and getting up at 6am and im still nackered! I think there is something seriously wrong with my body. Maybe im still catching up on sleep from my teens? Ive never been good in the mornings and its always annoyed me as I know I want to get up, my body just says NO!

Hi Bud,

Best of luck with the prep, bet you cant wait to get up there again. I was impressed at what you brought to the stage last time, just need to be harder and fill that massive frame of yours out and there's plenty of time for that!!
Your presentation was supurb for a first timer, one of the best I have ever seen TBH.

My diet takes the form of 8 meals on a TD and 7 on a NTD and include my 2am meal

My macros are around 375c, 375p and 70g fat on a TD and 325c, 325p and 110f on a NTD

I eat every 2.5-3 hours

No changes planned. If it aint broke and all that!!!

Today is Thursday 31st Jan 2008

I am now exactly 4 weeks out from the show

Weight this morning in the buff was 13st 13.5lbs

My weight this morning has dropped by nearly 5lbs since the weekend. I was holding a lot of water after travelling up to and back from Scotland and knew that once my routine was back on track things would come in nicely again.

This week has seen a ceasation of my 2am meal and also an increase of 15 mins PWO cardio (4x a week) so an hour extra a week (so far)

After speaking to Paul today he has told me not to drop the 2am meal and just keep the cardio going as well as doing a little extra on NTD's (20 mins NTD and 10 mins on TD).

My body responds very quickly to any changes and the look of my physique in just 3 days has changed a lot, even my face has come in this week.

I am just about to start a new fat burner from my sponsors (myprotein) called Thermopure and I have also upped the dose of Acetyl L Carnitine by 1g daily.

I will also start adding in a little more L Glutamine over the next few days as the stresses on my body increase a little (10-15g daily)

I feel fantastic at the moment and still feel like I am not dieting.

My legs are striated as are my glutes, triceps and calves and vacularity when training is off the scale.

Training has been going well and strength has remained high. I have had a little problem with my left tricep and as a result I will now stop training them directly. I think from all the heavy pressing (shoulders and chest) it is being over trained so will now concentrate on pre exhausting and doing the pressing movements last.

I have also been told by Paul to stop training quads now to give them a chance to fully recover as they will get more than enough stimulation through the 75-80 mins cardio daily.

I will still train my hams and calves tho until 2 weeks out.

I have also been asked to attend an all expenses trip to Cyprus in May along with a few others to take part in a BBing extravaganza and show (not competing) as well as taking part in Aggie Dulson's new DVD she is working on.
I may extend it for another few days and take Nic and have a holiday (I'll be off season so will enjoy the time away). Aggie was awarded her IFBB pro card last year and will be making her debut this year I believe.
Both Jim and Aggie have been very supportive of me over the last few years and we regularly keep in touch and touch base on various bodybuilding issues.

I will be flying up to Manchester to see Paul B on around the 16th and will be then 2 weeks out with hopefully just a few tweaks to get me where I need to be the following week.

So all in all things are good and life is pretty enjoyable at the moment. Work has been flooding in and I am keeping myself very busy working silly hours each week...I am looking forward to competing just for a break!!!

I will be updating with photo's this sunday as the last ones were 2 weeks ago. Hopefully we should see some changes and with all being well the finished product will be ready in around 3 weeks time (8 days out), just as I had planned around 3 months ago.

Everything sounds in order James, with the PT work - is that on top of gym instructor hours or do you only PT?

Keep up the hard work, not long to go

pitbull · 31-01-2008, 12:58 PM

Sounds like everything is going to plan which is good to hear, but does that mean our leg session out the window this Sat ?

supercell · 31-01-2008, 01:59 PM
