Wuttsup peoples, I am back from the Lackland Classic, "lookin, feelin like a million bucks"–"that song played like non-stop on the radio, lol). It was a humbling experience and I learned alot about myself from the experience. I went down there with about six people from my base and it was a first time experience for all of them. We all looked good but I think that next time we will blow alot of people away. I placed 2nd in the N. Heavyweight division and 3rd in the Military division.

Now its time for my second off-season and this time I am going to lift heavy and eat like a f u c k i n beast for the next 5 months. I am kinda into the clean bulks; getting all of my macros from reputable sources, but if I want a cheat meal I will have one. My current split is as follows:

Monday: Quads and HEAVY flat bench

Tuesday: Arms and 4 sets of pullups

Wednesday: OFF

Thursday: Chest and some triceps

Friday: Back, HEAVY deadlifts and HEAVY B.B Curls

Saturday: Shoulders and Hammys (cant have half of a leg)

My current diet is as follows:

**measurements are uncooked**

Meal 1: 1 cup oats, 1/4 cup raisins, 4 egg whites, 2 whole eggs and 1 Animal PAK

Meal 2: 12oz lean (93%+) ground beef and 1/2 cup brown rice

Meal 3: 8oz Chicken and 1/2 cup brown rice

Pre Workout: 2 scoops ON Whey and 1/2 cup oatmeal, Animal Pump, creatine and amino acids

Post Workout: Creatine and Amino acids

Meal 4: (half hour later) 4 scoops CYTOGAINER and 16 oz milk and Animal PAK

Meal 5: 12oz ground beef (93%+ lean) and 1/2 cup Jasmine Rice (basically like white rice).

Meal 6: 1 scoop ON Casein, 1 scoop Syntha 6, 8oz fat free milk, 8oz. water, 1/2 cup oats and 1oz Cashews

As I mature as a bodybuilder, I see that supplements arent really that big of a deal. I just keep the essentials ie, whey, creatine, etc.

My base is hosting a powerlifting comp on January 23rd so that is why I do heavy flat bench after I do quads. I am REALLY not a fan of flat bench b/c I dont see any results when I do it; I see WAAAAY more results just doing decline and incline presses. Once I am able to do 5-6 reps of a certain weight I go up–"There is no sense in doing a 100 reps with 100 pounds"-Lee Haney. I love the way lifting heavy makes muscles look.

I will write another blog before the powerliftin meet.

P.S- Today I wanted to see how much I could flat bench and I did 330 (while listening to "Love me sexy by Will Ferrell and Lil Wayne, LMAO) after doing SETS of 135, 225, 270, 295 and 315. Not really THAT impressive, but it was my first time doing flat bench in a WHILE. So lets see how this goes, I got people at my base (kendafriend) that can bench over twice their bodyweight!!! Good GOD!

Let me back-brief yall real quick. I like helping people out….I have no problem with doing so. Right now I am helping out this kid in my squadron before he goes on leave. I change my schedule for him, give him detailed diet plans and even come to the gym to spot him when I am not working out. All I ask is that he puts his cell phone away while we are in the gym….is that too much to ask for!??!?!

Anyways……..

So we are working out chest with some flat dumbbell presses. I am reppin out a set of 115.lbs and I get stuck on my 8th rep. What is my spotter doing?! Everyone around is looking at him while I am strugglin to get this weight up and HE IS ON HIS ****IN PHONE!

So for now on I am a lone soldier. I made me who I am today without a spotter, and imma keep it that way.

Right now I am about 8 weeks out from my next comp. I have experimented with alot of pre contest diets and cardio rituals. Right now I am doing cardio 5x/ week which is usually incline walking (treadmill) or the stair stepper (I sweat buckets on this). If I dont have something before I do cardio I shrink…..If I dont eat at least 200 carbs…I shrink. My normal carb intake is 205 and I go low carb (100) 2x a week. I also carb load on leg day and that is usually followed with a low carb day. On my carb load day I have a Subway sammitch, I guess you can consider this a cheat meal. Last time I dieted, I did not incorporate a cheat meal and I found myself over-indulging on certain stuff to compensate for it…well this time the cheat meal is in and it is keeping me in check throughout the week. Most people cut out fruits pre-contest, I have one serving of raisins in the morning and thats it. I also cut out carbs 5 hours before I go to bed. I also try to eat every 2.5-3 hours. Here is an example of my normal diet

Pre Cardio:

Animal Cuts, One scoop whey and 3 CLA tabs. I also sip on BCAA’s while doing cardio

Post Cardio:

One scoop whey

Meal 1: 1 cup (measured uncooked) oats, 1 cup egg whites, 1 yolk and 1/4 cup organic raisins, Animal Pak, Tribulus
Meal 2: 8 ounces of chicken and 1/4 cup (measured uncooked) brown rice

Meal 3: (same as meal 2)

Pre Workout: 1 scoop whey. Animal Pump, Animal Cuts, 10g creatine, BCAA’s, Universal Shock Therapy and 1000mg green tea extract

Post Workout: 1/2 scoop waxymaize, BCAA’s, 10g creatine, 1 teaspoon sugar-free Metamucil (thanks for the tip ken)

After I walk home: 2 scoops whey and 1 tbsp Flaxseed oil, Tribulus, Animal Pak

Meal 4: 10 ounces LEAN Top Sirloin Steak, 15 asparagus spears

Meal 5: 7 ounces tuna, 1 serving all natty PB and some calcium pills
Meal 6: 1 scoop Casien, 1 scoop whey isolate, 3 CLA pills, Tribulus, ZMA,1 tbsp olive oil (I chalk it up and drink it raw…eat now taste later)

When I go low carb, I take out the raisins and 1/2 cup oatmeal. No matter what imma have the rice and waxymaize. I kinda prioritize the carbs. If I am working that day, some of the meals will get flip-flopped but the macro will remain the same.
