Introducing John Casalena "JDC87" National Competitor

[TooPowerful4u]

Welcome one of my best friends Johnny Casalena to the board. He will be a great addition with his experience, knowledge, intelligence and obviously physique he brings to the National stage at HWT.

Name on here is JDC87 (he is known as Johnny "diezel" Casalena).

He just took a close second in the Heavyweight class at Jr. USA to along with our own Flex2019 (he said Flex's calves were enormous). Also met Queefer who he said was cool and very big.

We work together so i figured id bring him to the place where i have always and continue to learn a ton in this field. Not to mention you meet a lot of great people here along the the way and have some fun here every so often.....

Prep was a last minute decision at a very offseason 235lbs....came in 224 pretty tight, plan to be tighter next time without the time restraints and trying to build muscle while cutting....

Future plans now are to bulk up to Super (he was 224 at Jr.'s) and will need a good 20lbs to look complete for his frame. Game plan is USA 2015. For now its bulk time......

Since he is still waiting for his name to be activated il answer......

For the most part i do his program for him, because he is an extremist and places very high demands on himself regardless of how intelligent he is and how wrong he knows it might be. I actually find this a good thing as it means he just cares that much to succeed that no amount of work or suffering is too much to attain his goal. If i say eat 60g carbs in meal two it will not be 59g, 61g or eaten a minute late. Hed eat gravel if it worked. Hed do 3hr clips of cardio if it worked. He just has trouble pulling himself back from going all out, as we all know more is NOT better in most cases. This is good, because in his work he is extremely detailed anal and organized beyond belief. Unlike most people he understands the how, why etc of everything directed and is VERY good at directing others for the same goal .....

As of right now for the rebound he eats clean all day and eats what he wants for dinner. Almost like backloading, but not. Hes restricted to 50g carbs x 5 meals and unlimited protein portions (pending it doesnt effect his appetite for the next meal, as long as within reason) then last meal is whatever he wants. He wanted more cardio, but is only getting 2 HIIT sessions per week for heart/health and to keep cardiovascular system up so he can train hard. He is more on the meso-endo side, but controls bodyfat pretty well. Always has abs viewable. This is for the rebound ONLY and HIS body, response and tendencies only. Once he hits a wall we will more than likely resensitize (insulin sensitivity is HUGE for growing) then continue on a cleaner food bulk with less often junk food. Probably a few breaks here n there as well......

As for his contest prep....as iv mentioned he is anal and organized. I did the program but was shocked how organized he is. He sent me a file of EVERY SINGLE change (and an elaborate explanation on why) that was made from day 1 til the show with every single detail recorded along with all assessments we made and how he responded to the changes....i could not fukkn believe it lol.

If he wants to post any of that il leave it up to him, but he is usually an open book about sharing his knowledge and experiences.....

Welcome sir!

 

[sammy555]

Great work ethic and discipline, I like it. The physique reflects it too. When you say your going to resensitse insulin receptors etc how to you plan on doing that? I find small mini cuts work great for me for this and the rebound after only 2 weeks is very good. Obviously this guys on a different level and will be interesting to hear the approach you use.

Jdc87, welcome to the board. I look forward to your contributions
