    3/27/13 Back

    HS pulldowns (underhand)
    4x10 @2PPS

    smith rows
    4x12@1P and 25 per side

    Meadows rows ( on t-bar apparatus)
    3x12@2Plates (good squeeze)

    Close grip pulldowns
    3x10@150 (squeeze)

    DB shrug
    2x25@60 (3-sec squeeze)

    SSB GM's
    3x10@155

    All felt good. I'm trying to focus on the feel of everything. Quite the switch from PL training. It's fun though.

    Training split
    Day 1: chest/shoulders
    Day 2: arms
    Day 3: back
    Day 4 Legs

    I have to get abs/calves and cardio scheduled.

    I'm going to use a prep coach because I'm good at doing what I'm told. Plus, my life is hectic as all can be. One less hassle will be good.

    I'm a fatty as can be seen in the pics above. I'm gonna bust ass to get in shape, I hope I have time.

That gives you the luxury of dropping cardio and playing around with how you will attack the last week (sodium, water, carbs, etc.). Good luck!
    ^^^ great advice EO! Lots people don't realize this, I was aware and still miscalculated and shocked my first time. To truly get bodybuilding conditioning you really gotta get lean. I think you have a good amount of mass from all your years powerlifting, once you strip of the fat it'll be a tremendous transformation and you'll have tons to show. However I agree with EO that you got some fat to she'd and give yourself time. Easier to be ready early than suffer to try and get in shape. Best of luck and I'm definitely going to follow along!

    Well I have 25 weeks and will begin on Monday.

    I'm kinda worried I won't make it. I have this strange feeling I'm gonna have to get to 180 lbs. ugh.

    I am in agreement with the other fellas here. IMO I would start asap and see where you are around 12 weeks out or so. Then if it doesn't look like you can make it pick a spring show or a later fall show. The Mike Francois Classic is a good show here in Central Ohio as well. Like I said start asap and see what kind of damage you can do in a few months before you make the call.

    I dieted from 265-203 in 8.5 months last year...and I still wasn't lean enough to be competitive. What I learned:
    - Half of getting lean is STAYING lean
    - Don't make changes/cuts super drastically
    - Hire somebody who knows what the hell their doing from the get go.

    Best of luck sir!

    i wouldnt be discouraged yet if u haul ass and ur body responds well it might very well be feasible it might not. Everyone responds differently. i think you got some really good advice from the guys in here. Put the push on and see what u can get done brother.

    Exactly. It is really hard to say at this point to you get rolling. Some will respond well and melt the fat off and others may need more time.

    Agree with everyone here. Get started and see what happens. Worse case is you choose another show further down the line. You need to get leaner eventually, right? May as well start now.
