Well I officially bit the bullet and selected a show for my first contest. I'll be shooting for the 2012 Mid Atlantic on October 20.

After much research on prep coaches, I decided to go with Shelby Starnes, and am officially starting my 16 week prep with him today.

I'll keep updating this thread with pictures and general observations on how I'm feeling/diet/training, etc.

This week will be a bit crazy as I'm leaving CA tomorrow and driving to NC to settle down and start real life (just finished grad school)...but I've already mapped out gyms along the way, and I'm prepping my food today for the week.

My current stats: 25 years old, 5'10" 245lbs, body fat?? I'm guessing 12-15.

I've attached a couple recent pics.

Thanks man, so far I'm very pleased with Shelby's turn around time on emails. The diet looks good too. :headbang:
 
Did a few measurements. All done cold.

Arms: 18"
Waist: 32.5"
Thighs: 29.5"
Calves: 17.5"

Couldn't get the tape to stay around my chest and I didn't have any help.

Current Training Split:

Chest
Back/Hamstrings
Delts/Traps/Calves
OFF
Arms
Quads/Hams
OFF

Starting AM cardio every other day tomorrow.

Not being a dick bro, measurement isnt that important! Getting lean and vascularity is the key not measurements. Dont fall in the numbers game bro! Just saying! Good luck with your prep!

I know. I just thought it would be good to take measurements at the beginning and end. I'm going by the mirror.
 
How's Shelby treating you so far?
 
Excellent! Loving the turn around time on emails. I've been on the road all week driving from CA to NC, so diet unfortunately hasn't been what I've wanted it to be...but that all changes in a few days when I get home!
 
Shelbys turn around time on emails is sick. Best ive seen thus far thats for sure.

Good luck on your prep bro. Shelby will bring you into the contest in sick condition.

Thanks man...looking forward to a normal schedule again!

It pains me to write this, but today's diet was:

Meal 1: 50g whey shake, oats
Meal 2: Double Quarter Pounder w/ cheese, fries, Coke
Meal 3: Footlong oven roasted chicken sub with double meat
Meal 4: 50g whey shake, pop-tarts, chocolate donuts
Meal 5: Footlong oven roasted chicken sub with double meat
Meal 6: 50g whey shake

...and I haven't been able to train like I've wanted, driving 12 hrs each day, so basically the prep will start in 2 days. I definitely underestimated the challenges of driving across country and fitting in diet/cardio/training.
 
Funny pic of me walking my little ass dog being a tourist on route 66...also shows me I need to bring up my F*CKING CALVES!

now we know how Shelby's clients gets ripped...lol
 
Lol I wish that was the diet Shelby sent me...I AM looking nice and full right now though haha

Damn, I was gonna say, my diet doesn't look ANYTHING like that?! lol

haha yeah he's prob gonna kill me when i send him my update tonight! Oh well I was driving 3000 miles.





OK...

Prep officially started today...I have used his supplementation regimen for the past week, but with a shitty diet, and only being able to train once in the last week, I'm going to say it is starting today.

Here are a couple update pics, not really a difference, but that doesn't surprise me all things considered. 243 lbs or so.

Feeling back on track after the move now. Diet has been solid since we got here, hitting Shelby's plan 100%, and it's amazing how much better I'm feeling.

Really like my new gym, even though the DB's only go up to 120 and there is ONE squat rack, and NO hack sled. But they do have the whole new line of Hammer Strength machines, which is pretty nice.

Usually don't do my pics with any pump, but I snapped a shot in the gym today with my phone...as you can see I'm delt dominant from poor bench form when I was younger, so I'm fighting an uphill battle.

Time to get serious :cool:
