Mike Duffy’s BodyBlog

Well the 2009 contest season is over and I am entering into a long and much needed offseason. I am very pleased with how my contest season went this year and the new diet techniques that I implemented provided more information that I could have ever hoped for. My next stage appearence won’t be until 2011 where I am hoping to bring my best package yet.

Now is time to eat, rest, repair and enjoy life with my family and friends. I will be judging in the meantime in the USBF, OCB and possibly NPC and look forward to helping many of the new and upcoming athletes.

I will try to stop by often and keep my blog up to date with how my training and offseason diet are progressing. Till then, take care and thanks for stopping by.

Well, I have about three more weeks of offseason left and I wanted to write down a few things on how well it has went so I don’t forget.

1 I enjoyed myself during the holidays with no dietary restrictions.

2 Kept my weight within 10 lbs of my last contest weight while still eating all my favs.
3 Made signifigant gains in the gym.

4 Stayed injury free while pushing myself to my limits.

5 Have a clear cut plan for the 09 season.

6 When I start my contest prep I will actually be eating MORE than I am now during offseason.

All the things I set out to do I have accomplished and more. This has been the first time in a while that I am absolutely excited about getting into contest mode, the fire is BACK !!

Well I am really into offseason now and have been more than pleased with my progress in such a short time. Since my cals are up and in the right proportions, my body is responding extremely well. My strength has actually been on a steady climb, and with no pain, wow. Amazing what rest and food will do to even the most experienced bodybuilder. lol

Well it has been a eye opening year for me pertaining to my contest prep. In January I decided to spend the year trying several different contest prep approaches to see what would work the best for me once and for all, and after much trail and error and with a friend of mine, who is a Natural Pro, my answer has been found. One word - CALORIES !!! I just wasn’t gettin the amount that I need ( not even close ) when it comes to my job, my training ( which is very intense ) and my lifestyle. This has been a true revelation to me.

So I am heading into this offseason with a great sense of enthusiasm and optimism, looking forward to some possible great gains and a much different and fuller physique when I step on the stage again. Amazing what a year can bring, but was definitely worth my time and effort to discover the one thing that can change my future in the sport and above all, my health and recovery.

Just wanted to leave a note that I am currently looking for sponsorship.
