All out war for conditioning... prep log with Shelby

[abs32]

Quick background was a 300lb college D-lineman 7 years ago, decided to learn about nutrition when I was 20 and dropped down to 195 in two months, from there been re-compositioning to where I am now and started ACTUAL bodybuilding training/gear two years ago. This time frame of course includes a atrial fibrillation heart diagnosis and recent gallbladder removal. Safe to say I hit some speed bumps but with all the BS behind me and my body once again re-figured out I got the throttles pushed all the fucking way forward. Could get as lean as I wanted to outside of bodybuilding but never could nail the conditioning I wanted with the size I can attain. Letting go of the size mentality and finally getting that freaky thin skin hard as nails physique I have pictured for the last two years. Going to post a pic from 2006/2007 and post where I am at now which is 58 days out from NPC ALL STARS. With the guidance of shelby and my girl Alyssa progress has been leaps and bounds in days can't wait to see where I fall. So all bullshit talk aside here's the depleted flat burning pics as of 8/28 and 8/22.

As you can see thick skin is a problem as well as my abdomen from the surgeries but won't know how it sucks in till we get there!!

Will be following up with pictures, training, and all the other yadda yadda something to keep my mind busy haha

A huge congratulations for your progress to date buddy. You should be very proud of your progress so far. Best of luck with the comp
You have picked the right guy to go with in Shelby. He is a master at transforming and conditioning

Thanks fellas!! Off to that am cardio for now lol

First time prepping with GH and it has been night and day damn near. Running 4 ius of keifer blue tops, probably going to bump to 10iu a day. These are not far off from the serostim 126iu kits I have ran from time to time... results are resembling about 2iu of the serostim. Hoping the bump in GH will help thin the skin more, I know Shelby's outline is doing the job nicely almost from morning to night Alyssa is seeing changes. Can't wait to finally run a legit off season and grow in a lean state with the right tools. My body has thus far responded really well these last few years as far as development so after this show I am really going to do a genuine off season and add solid weight.

57 days out
Weight:227.9
Training: Arms/calves/core
Cardio: Cybex/stair stepper LISS 120bpm 2x45 minute sessions
Diet: Shelby outline

Feeling a little beat up but not bad all things considered. The right gear (thanks G man) and supplements with the proper nutrition seem to be keeping me rolling smoothly, focus and drive grow more and more everyday... youtube helps lol.

Going to start incorporating kick-board cardio in the lap pool at night to alleviate the soreness of my feet. No excuses and its a great work out just have to monitor your heart rate.

At a local competition backstage we both had competitors in the show and we both saw each other running around backstage helping with posing and pumping up... and my shw beat out her shw.. haha

 

[abs32]

Updating sometime this week with pictures been super busy grinding away two a day training sessions, cardio, prepping, work, moving into new house etc lol

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to HGHpower and lightningfast these guys came through with clutch service and went above and beyond for me knowing I was prepping. They definitely hooked me up!!

 

[Freddy.Bagdad]

nice log! how tall are you abs?

 

[abs32]

Just under 6ft... it sucks because I definitely need the size back in my legs and I have to work extra hard to create the illusion of a bigger droop during my side tri and side chest poses. The separation is there especially with the glute tie-in, but I have to sit taller to bring those out and it hurts the overall size of my hamstring so I am still tinkering with those two to see how I can bring out a slab of beef at the bottom...

Thanks for checking it out!

 

[abs32]

Inspiration for the day fellas, check this article out by my man Brendon. He went through and continues to go through a battle and still overcomes it each and every day. I look up to this guy and respect the hell out of him.

True inspiration, check it out.
