All right true believers... Time for me to remove the soft over layer I've allowed to build up over the last couple years doing strongman and PL. I've been having the itch to get into contest shape and what better way than to pick a show?
I was already pretty set on doing a show June 11th, and then I saw Viking post up looking for more testers specifically for competing and I reached out to him. After a couple messages back and forth he agreed to support me through this prep period, for which I'm very grateful.
I don't have any of his product yet but I will be running the Aurum RX line of products exclusively. I have no experience with any of this brand but after seeing the logs and reviews going on being all positive I'm confident they are potent. I'll be using a variety of gear for this so we will all have a good handle on the different products of this line by the time my show date comes around.
I honestly don't have a complete plan put together yet, as I'm 22 weeks out right now. I've been off all gear and supplements for quite a while so all my receptors are pretty fresh. All my nagging injuries feel good and I'm ready to go. So I plan to start out a little more slowly and then ramp things up as time goes on. Ideally by the time I get to 10-12 weeks out I'll be sitting at 10% BF or less. I'm pretty soft right now, not gonna lie it's not pretty but I clean up pretty quick when I try even a little bit. I haven't been watching my diet at all for the last couple months, just enjoying life, holiday food, and tacos. Fuck I LOVE TACOS.
I'll break things down into sections as things crystallize and come together a bit more but for now here is what I'm looking at:
First six weeks I'm going to use 50mg test prop and 50mg masteron every day. I'm going to backload the oils into slin pins and rotate the sites around my delts, pecs, tris, and quads.
This is a good combo for me. It's enough test to really get my strength up but not so high that I need to worry about running an AI yet. With the masteron it's even more effective. I love mast. LOVE IT. This combo in the past has yielded pretty quick results.
During this first six week period, because I also have not trained regularly in some time I will be training Gironda style. Really fast pace in the gym. Higher number of sets and low rest periods. Focusing on TUT and working in my optimal range of motion. This type of training doesn't require a lot of cardio to be done typically but since I'm pretty soft I'll be doing cardio at least three days a week. I like to do intervals on the bike, or run fartlicks on the road, but I'll probably only do one HIIT session per week for a couple weeks and two LISS on the treadmill or eliptical.
My goal for the initial six week period is to get from 250lbs(my dry weight today), down to 238-240. I'm not super concerned about scale weight but I like to have a rough goal at least to strive for. I may very well end up only losing a net of five or six lbs but being considerably leaner. Time will tell.
