Also abs are done everyday. Alternating rope crunches, leg raises, and other various abdominal exercises. Cardio is done everyday on the treadmill postworkout for 20-30 minutes, slight inclined walk at 3.2-4mph. Heart rate at 135-140.

 

[meateater]

Looks good.....but only 1 set of chins? IMO, nothing better than chins for overall back.....I do 6 sets of 3 reps every back workout....used to alternate with pulldowns but as of several weeks ago, I only do chins ..much better results.

 

[OLYMPIAN]

It looks good to me but i hardly advice peeps on training anymore..why? because i found out what really works for me hardly works on other..also every plan or routines work to some degree if you follow it correctly and consistenly...pre contest is more about diet than anything,the hard work was done offseason..but again your covering each muscle group well, hitting them from every angles which is needed when getting ready for compettion when details count the most.

train hard, be consistent and you will reach your goal.

from Olympian.


p.s .Meateater stop lying about the chinS..your Fatass cannot do a single pull up much less 6 sets..

 

[Xframe]

I do them a lot in the off season, usually 50 reps. I mainly use the rack chins for the extreme stretch.

 

[Xframe]

Olympian, what are your thoughts on this precomp diet from week 12-8 out?


08.00 12 egg whites, 1 apple, protein shake

10.00 100g rice, 1 apple, protein shake

12.00 red meat, salad (tomato, lettuce, cucumber), protein shake with 10g flax seed oil

14.00 100g bread, 1 apple, protein shake

16.00 tuna or chicken or fish, protein shake

18.00 100g maltodextrin, 1 apple

18.30 training

20.30 chicken or turkey or fish, salad, protein shake

21.30 run (20 - 30) minutes

Gotcha, bro.

 

[OLYMPIAN]

again, this is also personal..I eat complex carbs ( oatmeal and sweet potatos) with every meal except last 2 of the day..and decrease them by 2 oz (each meal)every 2 weeks or so as i get closer or if i hit a wall ( fat loss)..i also never have fruits nor simple carbs even at 12 weeks out nor PWO.


i see your following BigA's contest diet for dummies..,ima call you Apple pie,..bitch..

Yeah I decide to do this contest rather late. So I didnt have to much time to get a trainer or a diet prep together, so Big A's article seemed to be ok. Im a big fan of whole grain wheat bread and brown rice, oatmeal is ok, and sweet potatos are gross unless I load them with cinnomin and butter, which probably doesnt qualify for precomp dieting Im a big eater in the chicken dept, and have about 45 steaks left in the freezer aswell as tilapia/salmon/tuna. How many oz/g's do you shoot for when 12 weeks out if youre cutting them by 2oz every 2 weeks? And how many meals are you getting in?

 

[OLYMPIAN]

i start at 8-9 0z of carbs for my first 4 meals of 6...but thats me ..i know my body and i dont automatically decrese 2 oz of carbs per meal every 2 weeks..lets say if i keep losing fat at 6oz per meal i keep that until i hit plateau.then and only then i'ld go down to 4 oz .another thing i do i never go below 100g of carbs per day ever, thats my bottom..after that i increase my cardio time or definitly rest less between sets ,work harder,,let my physical activities take care of the fat loss instead of my diet..you dont want to go too low on cals..i did it once ,got ripped but small in my book..eat big just work harder is my concept..

 

[OLYMPIAN]

IMO, nothing better than chins for overall back.....I do 6 sets of 3 reps every back workout....used to alternate with pulldowns and my patner holds my ass and legs, but as of several weeks ago, I only do chins butt nakeD while he caresses my hole with broomstick....much better results.

WTF.???????

i like big A's diet except with the apples but wat?? are you running right before you sleep??

 

[Xframe]

Yeah I run post workout.

 

[OLYMPIAN]

i was wondering why youre having 100g of rice for meal #2 and no carbs for meal 1 which it should be ok to have some since you havent eaten anything for 8 hrs and it wont affect fat loss much ???

 

[Xframe]

Im not following that diet yet. He has it outlined for 8-9 weeks out. Im still eating a couple meals with complex carbs/lean meat then omega's/natty pb with a complex protein blend shake at night. Like so...

meal 1
50g whey 25g malto

meal 2
8oz chicken 1 cup brown rice

meal 3
8oz chicken 1 cup brown rice

meal 4 (prewo)
4-8oz fish

During workout
2400mg BCAA's with 30g malto

meal 5 (pwo)
60g whey 30g malto

meal 6
4-8oz steak 1 cup whole wheat omega pasta

meal 7
complex protein blend with 2 tbls omega PB

 

[OLYMPIAN]

you guys love that malto and simple carbs post training..jesus!! Contest prep= complex carbs and complex carb only in my book ..im not fan of pasta even if it's whole wheat ,not even at 12 weeks out
.

Contest prep is not about making it easier ,with things you like..the day you guys understand that you are the one whos gonna have to walk on stage wearing little trunks for judges to critize your physique and a crowd to watch your body from head to toe you , not to count battle some fools you will sacrifice a bit more.

good luck

So should I just eat brown rice with every meal, besides meals 6 & 7?

 

[OLYMPIAN]

it will definitly help you reach your goal faster ..yes.


and for meal 1 you could have your protein mixed with oats and water.

and have 75 g instead of 50g, same amount of protein for meal 5.

if you gonna drink protein shakes ( i dont ) at least have 75g of it..50g of powder in liquid form ,specially whey goes through your body like water.

 

[Xframe]

Well I know Im not going to be the biggest guy, so my goal is to be the most cut/vascular/striated. Im not a huge fan of protein shakes either, as Ive just grown accustom to eating food and not taking the easy way out. Thanks for your help amigo

 

[OLYMPIAN]

yeah , condition wins over size any day ...and it might help you score a hot chick...

 

[Thate]

specially whey goes through your body like water.

I'd only recommend whey pwo, any other time casein/egg white imo.

 

[rippedfreak]

YOU MUST BE SHITTING BRICKOS WITH ALL THAT MALTO

 

[rippedfreak]

the only thinkg i dont understand with big A's regimen is for example hitting the bi's in the morning then while recovering bi's hitting back the next morning... also no warm up sets before supersetting
