i read b-boys thread and chris 250's, but what aobut the rest of you guys?
IM really trying to add as much mass as possible for a pretty local show thats about a year away. what i am concentrating on most right now is keeping bodyfat in check as i add mass so dieting for the show wont be too hard. its something i havent done before so i was figuring if i keep the fat at a point where i dont have that much to lose ill be better off when it somes time to start to diet.

I am finally jumping in the big boy pool and hitting the USA's in July. I am working hard this off season to bring up my hamstrings as well as getting my abs back to where they were before my hernia. I am a believer in direct ab work unlike some and based on how bad they looked last year after not being able to train them directly for over a year I would say I am right.

I am working with Chris Aceto for the entire year leading into the show. We have decided it would be best to grow into the show and keep my body fresh and bodyfat lower this offseason. So far things are going great and my strength is still way up there.

Dante Trudel is still handling all of my training and I can't even begin to explain how well he has figured out my body. Last year he completely transformed my arms with his training methods and this year he made tweaks to my hamstring training that are alreay proving to work. I can honestly say I wouldn't look anywhere near what I do now had I not convinced Dante to take me as his client.

Best of luck Dusty, sounds like you have a lot of solid people behind you to help you succeed in your goals.

I plan on taking at least this full year off to grow while staying within reasonable BF%. I am sure Shelby won't let me get out of hand. I have a lot of priorities at work and home to handle so this is the perfect time for this to fall. Passing the CPA and getting engaged/married are my two biggest steps in the future aside from bodybuilding.

After my shows in Nov. I plan on getting ready for the Jr.Nats in Chicago...I dont know why I have passed them up for the past two years...But 2010, I want to hit that show, and maybe one other, (if money allows me to) if I cant hit two national shows (I never seem to get the funds together...LOL) then I will just do a warm up for Jr.Nats in May

 

[Lenny]

As on now, my plan is to do the Muscle Mayhem again in May 2010 while prepping for the Jr. Nat's in June. This is all tentative as of now, just working hard to progress, improve, and get better in all aspects!

 

[Diesel City]

To leave the gym in a better place physically and mentally than when I showed up.

 

[eroc613]

Beat my previous gains, hopefully another 15 solid lbs. Did it this past year. Hopefully meet that amount and surpass it. (And no I'm not counting fat)

 

[gooey]

for me...

I got a big year this year, im going back to school in a few weeks, getting married in April and trying to talk the Wife(2b) haha into letting me do Jr. USA's in May...

 

[kal el]

That's great! how much does he charge?

 

[Dusty Hanshaw]

He doesn't have a set price so I can't say what I paid. Chris may want that to stay between us. Hopefully you understand.

 

[michelin]

Eating clean and training harder than ever to compete in May 2010 here in Jersey UK. Hopefully get a 1st place this time and qualify for the UKBFF British Finals.

As my coach on here says 'the off season is where the competition is won'.

This my mantra and with him on my side I feel better than I ever have

 

[tonka]

I understand completely Dusty, good luck and am looking forward to see what you bring to the stage next year!

I like Chris Aceto - I think he keeps things simple, but effective...Im sure you will look great next year dusty...

 

[hilly2008]

goal and aim is to compete in my first show next may. Phil is currently helping me prep towards this and i am following his advice 100%

 

[BIG-D]

Currently 6.5 weeks out from the Sacramento...after that I might cruise into the Excalibur. Then going to focus on a good offseason and hit Nationals next year.

 

[Big Dave Smith]

Last year I wound up not having much of an offseason. Went from not training much into a lackluster precontest. Wound up in more debt due to an accident, I owe my prep guy $$, and worked so much that I did terribly on stage. Oh well.

Looking to start my offseason strong in a week. Need to get my legs back to being a standout body part, arms above 21 inches cold, and work on my chest and back. Before I even consider standing on a national stage, I'd like to do a big show like the Pittsburgh and win the overall or get top two at a big NYC show.

 

[Flex2019]

Finally back into the swing of things this year...my goal is a state level NPC show in June 2010. I'd like to stay nice and lean while gaining 10-15 lbs ideally. I've got 9 months to do it.
