BZ's Offseason Log to 2012
Hey everyone, my name is Brandon. I’ve been posting for a while on Layne’s forum (Scivation) and thought it would be a good idea to come in here to get some more feedback from some great athletes and meet some more great people. I just completed 2 shows this past May, you can find my precontest log here:
http://www.scivation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4822 To catch you up to speed on my offseason so far, the beginning of my offseason log can be found here: http://www.scivation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5288 Here is what I will achieve this offseason: 1. Stay ~12% BF 2. Get my strength back (recovering from pre-contest) 3. Experiment more with my training 4. Gain lean body mass 5. Research more on training, nutrition, etc. in order to achieve all of the above. 6. Have fun! I don't plan on hitting the stage until 2012. I have some weak areas I would like to bring up, not to mention I'm getting married in 3 months and enjoying a honeymoon in Jamaica! Thanks for following along! Please feel free to critique anything I'm doing/ not doing. OUTWORK!

Date:6-11-10
Training:Lower and Arms- ME BB Squats- ATG 130 x 12 160 x 6 180 x 5 200 x 5 230 x 3 *felt heavier than expected 250 x 3 250 x 3 250 x 3 250 x 4 *Used a different bar, which may have been heavier? Form was right on, lower back felt good. I could have went for 260 x 2-3 reps. GHR's Bw (assisted) x 10 Bw (assisted) x 5 Bw (assisted) x 5 *ws Bw (assisted) x 5 *ws Bw (assisted) x 5 *ws *Felt my right hamstring acting up a bit, playing it safe w/ only 3 working sets....I used less assistance this week compared to previous week though. Good contractions! Leg Press 290 x 10 380 x 8 470 x 6 520 x 8 520 x 9 *pr on weight since post prep Leg extensions 90 x 10 150 x 8 180 x 9 180 x 9 *pr on weight since post prep BB preacher curls (30# bar) SS w/ DB OH extensions 50 x 12/ 55 x 12 65 x 8/ 65 x 8 85 x 8/ 80 x 8 85 x 6/ 80 x 8 Nutrition: Pro- 223 Cho- 301 Fat- 58 Weight:153.0- 153.5 Notes:Good, strong lower workout tonight. Squats are coming along week by week. I’m really focusing going all the way down and sometimes pausing before I come back up….it’s all about the muscle/ mind connection! GHR’s were stronger than expected. Towards the 3rd-4th set, I could feel some aggravation in my right hamstring (it’s been bothering me for the past 2 weeks), so I played it safe and stopped at 3 working sets. I had to cut my workout a little short because the gym was closing, so I’ll hit calves tomorrow. Nutrition is coming along quite well, weight is holding steady around 153.0- 153.5. I may be bumping carbs up a little bit this weekend. For some reason, the past 2-3 days, I’ve been hungrier than usual. Normally, I don’t get too hungry before my next meal, but I’m finding myself almost counting down the time till my next meal….what gives??!! Ha!
