my competitive plans this year

[b-boy]

well guys ive been kinda hush, hush this year, no pics no nothing and just thought I would finally give you guys a lil update on what im "planning" on doing this year. Nothing is set in stone yet as my finances aren't where i want them to be right now as my job is really being some cheap ass's with cutting back this year.

my relative plans for now are to hit the bluegrass classic (tricky jackson's show) on oct. 24th (7 weeks out this saturday) and then HOPEFULLY ride into florida for nationals in november (11 weeks out this saturday). Right now im sitting at 208 first thing in the morning which is 11 pounds lighter than i was last year at this far out from nationals, Which is great considering i will still have 4 more weeks of dieting before i hit nationals this year
The blue grass classic is pretty much a for sure thing and Nationals will all depend on my funds as Hollywood florida is going to be an expensive ass trip and i don't know if i can pull it off or not.

Diet
diet has been pretty much a keto diet this year (doing my own prep) with a once a week shitload day (first 4 meals). I plan on doing a shitload for my carbup for tricky's show and if everything goes like i want i will do the same for nationals if im able to go. Nothing fancy about the diet just protein and healthly fats.

Training
Training is pretty much still heavy and intense but ive added a lil more volume to it and im doing a lot of negatives this year, and my leg workouts are a lot higher reps and high volume and im loving it as ive had no knee pain this whole prep and getting some brutal leg workouts in. I have really stayed away from squats and deadlifts as much as possible this past year in hopes to try and bring my waist in as small as possible and it has def. worked, my workouts partners who are brutally honest to me said the other day that my waist is a lot smaller than it was last year (diet has contributed to this also).

Gear
well im just saying this for people who are overseas in country's where gear is legal. My new saying is "a gram of T is all you need". thats it. If i could legally partake in gear a gram of test enanthate would be all that i would run until 6 weeks out in which i would add in masteron and winny and drop the T.E. at 4.5 weeks out, but im in the United States so i got to go at it all natural as gear is highly illegal here.

so thats it for now people i may post some pics later on in the prep as i get closer to the bluegrass classic in the members pics section.

[MAINEVENT]

Thanks for sharing the info B-boy....but i have to ask, Why are you doing the Tricky show? Is it because its close to where you live?

Optimum Nutrition won't help with your expenses to Nationals?

B-Boy,

Hey bro, im right with you on the money thing..I have been just told this past week, that my training hours are getting cut way back...Because they cant really afford me..But, people love me, so they want to keep me..But cant pay me...WTF!!!

Anyway, I plan on doing the Ironman/North Star (Nov. 7th and 14th) one or both of the shows..Then going to Nats (if that is possiable)..If I cant do Nats (becasue of money situation) then its just the Ironman and/or North Star and thats it for the year..Which really sucks !!! But, what can you do, beside stay positive, and keep pushing forward..Thats all im doing, Im going to keep pushing on and keep dieting..not get down about anything, just hope for the best...Life could be alot worse ...

I actully thought about the Bluegrass show (kinda) because its not that far away from me (about 7 hours I think)..Anyway, I feel for ya brother !!! I hope you can pull this National thing out, because you have a legitment shot at winning this thing, if your on !!!

hey wolf,

atcully they only do supplements and thats it..I have asked about help with expenses but no go...Im signing on with Muscletech myself, but everything is on hold with the recall crap...

So im just waiting on them to get me signed on and get this ball rolling with them...Otherwise for me its just Ironman/North Star then Jr.Nats next year...

Brad.
On your drive down to FL..if you stop by Valdosta Ga..on I-75, we can catch lunch, or a workout, allthough I doubt you'd be able to b/c it'd be close to show time..I guess like 1 day away.
Anyway, if you're hungry and pass threw hit me up..actualy with you being a couple days out I doubt you can haha, so on the way back then.
Good luck dude..I've been meaning to ask you what you planned

so my friends from Paducah can see me compete, and my friends and family from my home town in ohio which is 2 hrs. away from lexington can come and see me. also it will help me diet down harder and be more prepared for nationals. the Goal is to come into tricky's show better than i came in to nationals last year then have 4 more weeks to diet some more for nationals plus if i don't make it to nationals then i will requalify again at tricky's show hopefully and then don't have to worry about next calender year.

Oh damn..it's an 8 hour drive there for me..if it was in Jax I'd go.

Thanks for the update B-Boy...hope everything works out for you. You got us in your corner, so stay strong bro! You have the tools, so just do your thing.

It blows my mind that Opt doesn't take care of travel and hotel expenses when their athletes are competing. Especially guys like BB who have been with them for a few years.

Keep blasting with the prep b boy and keep us up to date with progress. i for one really want to see you onstage at the Nats where a physique of your level should be.

Thanks for sharing Brad. I hope the 1st show goes as planned and you manage to make the Nationals. Would be nice to see you do some damage there!
