Allen Contest Prep


I am currently 9 weeks out from my first contest this year. Currently weighing 208. Looking to re-qualify for national level and then do either JR USA or JR nationals next year.

Here is a video from this past week were I got a few workouts in with John Meadows. This was round 6 of this triple set. We did 5 sets leg curls and 4 sets leg extensions prior and finished off with 4 sets standing leg curl and glute work.

Nice! Quads looking beastly!

ROUND 6?! Bugger me.

Impressive build man, thanks for making the thread, I’m looking forward to following along!

Totally in!! Looking great bro.

Here is my split for the next 2 weeks:
Day 1: Chest/Back
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Shoulders/Arms
Day 5: Off
Day 6: Repeat sequence.

Each day is 2 a days. So every body part is trained twice every 5 days. 10 training sessions per week. Just added in 2 days of cardio at 30 min each.

Looking great! With 9 weeks to go, definitely gonna be cruising in with some tight and nasty conditioning for this one. Looking forward to following along.

I honestly don’t feel like I’m on a prep diet at this point. I really don’t start feeling it until about 4 weeks out. I just had a Dexa scan and said I was at 6%, not that care about that number because I go for a look not a number.

This is so true! I’ve had Dexa scans done and my 6% looks nothing like your 6% (granted you have about 50 lbs on me haha but still, it’s just a number)

I want to try those Razor Curls next leg session. Any tips you can give on how to optimally perform them?

You remind me of Jon Favreau, albeit younger and in a little bit better shape.

Logged in, looking great!
