10-ish weeks until the Arnold, which is March 7, 2015.
Week 1 of precontest starts this weekend and I’m excited.
Notice the title of the log.
This is NO DISRESPECT to lifters like current and former 242 greats Juha, Panora, Hoff or ANYONE at all. It’s in reach and I want the total record, especially since I was pretty close a few months back. I’ve actually chased it on and off for the better part of 10 years.
I’m not predicting shit, calling my shot or anything like that. The fact is that I’m pushing that 2700+ at 242. Will I get it? Let’s see. Either way, I’m on the path toward it, I just hope I get there, and will log pretty much everything about the process. This will also keep my accountable to make sure I’m doing what I need to be doing.
I blew up and got a little fat over the Christmas Holiday weekend BUT I’m back on the horse daddy! You gots to keep it trill.
I took a full deload last weekend and just did a lot of walking and stuffed my face.
No squats or pulls on Saturday.
Monday – last night I basically did a fluff and buff.
Normal warm-up: Always McGill big 3
1-arm KB swing
KB Goblet
Training
Band fly: 6×12
Band skull: 6×12
Bench dip: 3×12
Incline DB: 3×12
Side lateral: 3×15
Rolling plank: lots
Hammer curl: 3×15
Like I said, nothing too great or cool! Friday I’m going to ramp up and push hard for a bit. I’m looking at my travel schedule over the next couple of months and it will be a challenge but I’m up for it.
I’ll be in good locations or at home all of the weeks I need to take some big weights. The first few weeks are so light I don’t think it matters too much. The meat and potatoes – weeks 5/6/7 will be important that I’m dialed in but that will be taken care of!
