Back In Training….
Well, I’ve already written about my Nationals trip. So, I thought I would write about the next 12 months that lay ahead in my preparation for the 2009 Nationals.
My training program is completely different to what I have done in the past. I am still training for 12 weeks before maxing out, but I am only doing 3-4 platform moves. All the rest are either squats or, like we called them at the old gym, ‘Dungeon’ moves.
What this means is stuff like bench presses, lat pulls, and hamstring and calf work.
As for my future comps. I will not be training again in 2008. I plan on competing at a League competition in April or May, and totalling 185-190kg, hopefully weighing about 70-72kg.
After that I only plan on competing at QLD Championships to qualify for Nationals. Hopefully, total about 210-220kg at 72kg bodyweight.
I was considering dropping weight to become a 69kg lifter. But, I have decided to Do some exercises, and set/rep schemes, to help me add muscle in a few critical areas. Namely my chest, shoulders and arms. Although, I want to add quality muscle all over. And I hope to drop my bodyfat to about 8% by May and weigh close to 72kg of muscle.
I have started taking my protein/creatine shake as soon as I get home after training. This will help with adding muscle and gaining strength.
But, for now I will focus on weak areas of my lifts. Especially my squats.
Feel free to comment with criticism and/or encouragement.
