Project's Adventure to Swoll City!!

**projecthatch92** · 10-31-2009, 02:39 PM

First week of March. I'll start a 12 week cut first week of december

aild54 · 10-31-2009, 02:47 PM

Sick, man. I was thinking about doing a competition in May, actually. If I do it, it'll be a really slow prep (14-16 weeks). I'll definitely be in on your next log, brother.

**projecthatch92** · 10-31-2009, 02:54 PM

why so long of a contest prep? you're metabolism is quicker than a bunny rabbit on crack. I would think 12 weeks would be way too much

aild54 · 10-31-2009, 05:06 PM

A lot of people say that whenever they do keto, they tend to build a little bit of muscle while losing fat. So, if I can take it nice and slow, why not? It won't hurt, especially if I can almost grow up until the contest. I guess we'll have to see where my bodyfat is at whenever 16 weeks out comes around. That, and I threw in an extra couple of weeks just because it'll be my first contest. There will be a lot of set backs along the way. If I'm SUPER ready like half way through, then I might bulk for a week or two, just to help my metabolism get even faster.

You're an animal. Healing process seems to be doing well then lol

Determined 08 · 10-31-2009, 08:34 PM

Haven't trained upper body in 2 weeks. Figured I'd rest a little. Gonna start physical therapy again Monday on the shoulders. Hope it goes well. Still weigh the same so haven't lost any muscle just feel smaller cause of the lack of upper body work.

Thanks for asking man I appreciate it!

no problem man. keep us posted on your physical therapy, Hope it goes well for you big man, and by big, i mean you're crazy for reppin 315 on front squats lol. doesn't that hurt your shoulder?!?!

**mikeh40+** · 10-31-2009, 08:53 PM

yea no doubt 315 on front squats is crazy heavy

Determined 08 · 11-01-2009, 01:24 PM

Nope its more of the rear delt is where my tendonitis is. Yeah I had never gone over 285 for reps on the front squat but a guy I use to work with was at the gym and since I don't have a training partner I had him spot me so the 315 went down! haha

Its easier to lift heavier on squats when there's a "spot" there to help

**projecthatch92** · 11-01-2009, 03:32 PM

absolutely. more of a mental thing, even if they dont' help

rmike · 11-02-2009, 09:14 PM

It always gets to me whenever I picture those steaming, golden, perfectly fried wings just smothered in hot wing sauce. You know, that perfect Hooters sauce that has justtt enough spice. You know what I'm talking about. Ohhhh yaaaa.

Haha, I don't know who's boobs you've been looking at that are golden and perfectly cooked. And I definitely don't want to know why they were covered in hot sauce.

Killer workout, Phil. Do you get more of a bicep pump when you do bis with back?

**mikeh40+** · 11-04-2009, 07:20 AM

did`nt cook enough chicken what the hell were you thinking

bet those arms were pumped as hell after the back workout ,, almost did the same but skipped biceps yesterday ,, maybe today i`ll do bis and tris,,

If you were worried about the holidays messing with your contest prep (Xmas and New Years), then start a week or 2 early. When you asked when I was starting my prep, I said 16 weeks, it's because I have 2 weekend trips planned that I know I won't be able to hold my diet as needed.

Plan ahead and on your comp day you won't be saying "I wish had 2 more weeks."
