Well, my previous thread reached it’s limit, so I’ll have to start a new log here.

For those that don’t know, I’m currently prepping for the OCB Yorton Cup, which will be on October 29th.

Here is my current training split:

Monday: Legs
Tuesday: HIIT Cardio
Wednesday: Chest/Biceps
Thursday: Back/Triceps
Friday: Shoulders/Traps
Saturday: HIIT
Sunday: Arms

Calves are thrown in there twice/week and I also do 2 20 minute steady state sessions. My bodyweight right now is 210. Here’s the link to my old log for those that want to check it out:

Also, here’s the link to my ‘First Contest’ thread in the BBing forum, where most of my picture updates will be:

Finally, here is a link to my youtube page:http:

Amazing chest day. First time doing incline dumbbells in about 5 moths or so and they felt amazing. 130s were cake and 140s felt a lot lighter than I thought they would. HS decline was tough and I went kinda crazy doing flat bench third, but it felt oddly good. Thanks to AustinBicep for introducing me to seated cable flies, the contraction you get with those is absurd…crazy back day in store for tomorrow, throwing all the tricks out.

As far as posing, I’d say just do it. It’s definitely a workout on it’s own. Maybe start a few times a week and the closer you get start doing it daily. I started off posing in the mirror, but it really helps to take video.

Also, I found a youtube link of a prejudging that I follow along with. It makes it tougher than just posing for yourself as you have to follow the judges commands.

Here is the video I follow along to : - YouTube - didn’t want it to embed…but you may be able to find a better one.

Awesome shoulder/forearm day. Insane pumps. I have never gone heavy on the plate loaded seated shoulder press (this one your back is vertical and you press straight up) and I was surprised with how strong I was on it. I’m gonna add in forearms twice a week now as I have never trained them before and want to see if I can maybe spark some growth.

Nice work as always bud. Those rack pulls might just be the lowest pin setting I have ever seen done. I’ll be following.

Haha thanks, probably a little too low actually…they feel better closer to mid/upper shin (3 inches below knee) than that low which is nearly a full dead without some momentum.

18

Nice arm day :wink:

19

Tried Meadows Hammers and doing rows the way you do today. Also tried doing the same rack pull weights at 3" lower than before today. All felt amazing.

Appreciate you logging your training and posting videos so we can learn from what you do/follow your progress man.

You’re def. one of the most inspirational of the posters (at least for me) on here. Keep killing it man.
