2011 NPC Schedule

The newest schedule is out!

I am seriously considering the Ronnie Coleman Classic first off. This is April 2nd. This is really just around the corner so this will be tough. 16 weeks out is December 4th and 12 weeks out is Jan 1. So it will definitely make holidays a little harder but at the same time it gives me a reason to stick to my diet through the holidays.

I am looking at doing back to back shows in October. It is actually easier to do back to back shows because you are already lean. You just don't get to pig out after completing the first one. But if they are back to back it isn't a big deal. There is one October 1st in McAllen and then Texas State is October 15th this year. Doing both of these would be cool because you can learn a lot in a short time.

So I'm talking with Amy right now about getting in order for April 2nd. Another plus to doing that show means that I will be in Dallas where she lives and we can be together for it.

As for my off-season, right now the only things to note is as follows:
Daily calorie intake: 1600
new supplements: Beta-X muscle builder and ALRI Proanabolic
Giant Set workouts
Cardio 40 min/day, 6 days a week.

I'm slowly backing off the cardio. If you remember there were a lot of two a days before and now they are all gone. I'll be down to hopefully 4 days a week of 35 minutes per day soon and that should stay that way until I really need help leaning out. 1600 cal/day on the diet seems just perfect although I'm definitely hungry still.

I've cheated a lot since the show. I've been gaining 1 pound a week since then which isn't too bad but I wish I could control myself more. I was 111 going into cheat week. I am now 114.5. It has been a little more than 3 weeks. But starting this week I'm for sure back on one day a week cheating and hoping to make it through the holidays like this. I just don't want to get bigger than 116 in the off season because it will make it that much harder to lean out for the show in April.
