After my big win last year at the OCB Charm City Classic, I spent plenty of time during the off season trying to follow the advice from the judges - putting on more mass. Last year during the competition I came in at a mere 152 lbs. I believe my down fall last year was the amount of cardio I did before the competition along with a weak diet; both of which had me burning hard earned muscle. From that experience, I tweeked a few things in my eating and gym routine in hopes of helping me accomplish my goal.
During this off season, my diet had between 200 to 225 grams of protien per day while I comsumed about the same amount in carbs (simple and complex). My fat intake it tried to keep low, although I love my medium-rare ribeye which i would sometime wash down with a lil Grey Goose but not so much this off-season…LOL
My supplement regimen consisted of a stack of DHEA at 400mg and 6 OXO at 600 mg per day (ridiculously expensive). My protien preference is MHP’s Probolic SR stacked with Glutamine SR.
I normally worked out at night doing a 5 day split routine and resting every Sunday and Thursday.
I’ve worked my weight up to 185lbs, but my bodyfat percentage is still a little high at 13% (last competition I came in at 5%). So, when I compete in May, I’ll probably come in around in 160lbs.
We will see how this turns out…
Wish me luck!
