14-ish weeks until the Arnold, which is March 7, 2015.
I’m finishing week 2 of offseason work this week. I’ve had enough time off now. I’m ready to get back to it. This will be all raw for 5 weeks.
I plan on bringing my bodyweight down to the 260 range vs 265 – 268 so I can make the cut as simple as possible. I’ll be working on dropping the weight over the next little bit.
I’m making Saturday a day to hit all 3 big movements – squat/bench/deadlift to ensure my back continues to have the conditioning necessary to improve. Also, I REALLY LIKE doing all 3 on one day, then just assistance work on the other 2 days. Works well, especially raw.
Normal warm-up: Always McGill big 3
Goblet
BW squat
Training
Mcgill chin: 20 singles – love these
Rack barbell row: 3×6 – 275 nice and easy
Band fly: for the hell of it
DB shrug: 3×12
1-arm KB swing: 3×12
Goblet KB squat: 3×12
Goblet piston squat: 3×10
1-leg GM: 3×12
Did some other stuff but not very important as I can’t remember! Good session and everything felt good.
NO pain or aches anywhere which is awesome. The only issue I’m having is the eating too freaking much. I’m over 265 and I need to get this under control. This is due to me liking junk food too much. Either way, I’ll get this under control! I know it’s water weight/retention but I need to be better about snacking.
I’m going up to NY this weekend to help my boy Scott Paltos come back to the lifting platform after 13 years. His training went very well and I’m looking forward to this trip.
