TO POSE OR NOT TO POSE? that is the question. and my daily WOD.
Alright so on March 22 there’s a pose down here at our post gym. I feel like i could probably win this thing. I’m not the biggest guy, but i have a well balanced physique. I’m decently cut, but i think my back and chest need some work. It’s about 2 months out. I’m wondering how i can win this thing, strategically that is. There are some big guys around here but i haven’t seen too many of them cut up. Most of them just heave a bunch of weight and get big but i never see them doing anything to cut themselves up. So i pose(pun intended) a few questions. Do you think i should bulk for the next 5 weeks and then cut for 3 weeks? What would be a better interval? As far as supplements, i’m on 6-oxo an estrogen blocker/antagonist or whatever, protein, and creatine, but i’ve been able to consistently put on 1-2 pounds of lean muscles a month. Should i take longer to get a better cut? When should i stop taking the creatine etc? I won’t get rid of the Crossfit WOD’s that i do, but i can definitely add some long slow cardio to cut up in place of the strength/bulking workouts that i do afterward. Any wisdom out there?
Anyway here was the workout of the day for my Crossfitted self:
9 rounds of superset of 5reps 115# thruster, 5reps 55# weight pullup, 5reps handstand-pushups, 25 gluteham-dev situps. Time: 24:01.
I finished with the following bodybuilding strenth supplementation: 5 sets of 10 reps 65# laying skull crushers, and 5 sets of 8 reps 80# dumbells incline bench.

For me bulking is easier than cutting. You are already pretty lean, I say just hit the iron smooth and steady and coast on in and win that thing.

slow boring cardio is gunna burn up muscle and fat…your lean and dont need that. Do sprints…that will cut ya up and is a good follow up to the Xfit stuff…
