KILLONB12 Journey to Nationals with EP

[wesley_swolle]

He started lifting his freshman year in high school but didn’t get serious until his junior year for basketball. He is tall at 6’6 so he was really skinny at first and struggled with contact when down low playing on the block and rebounding. I got him eating and lifting correctly the summer before his junior year. He put on 30lbs in two years and ended up with a scholarship to play ball. He has since stopped playing and now just does bodybuilding. He walks around 250lbs now and is contemplating competing probably in the next year or so. He wants to put on some more LBM before he competes. He is only 19 years old by the way.

If he has your genetics, he has the potential of being one big, conditioned dude.

Thanks man. Yeah he has tons of potential. He is already way bigger than I was at that age.

I can't get my skinny older boys to lift consistently. They both played with the weights but did not stick with it.

I have 24 and 25 year old sons. I got them both into weight training when they were in their early teens. The 24 y/o lost interest two years ago. But the 25 y/o stuck with it after all these years and earned his pro card in the INBA federation and is currently trying to earn his pro card in the INBA

Hey guys updated my log name to reflect my journey to the national stage. I will be logging my offseason progress and contest prep next year as I prep for nationals. Hope you guys continue to follow along. Should be a fun ride.

Weekly updates to coach. Coming off a weekend of a few too many free meals finally got diet dialed back in and feeling better. Weight is at around 256lbs. I’m up 23lbs from my lowest weight during contest prep back on June 19th. Feeling strong and still holding decent conditioning. Probably be better even next week after staying on diet for a few weeks. Vacation at the end of July didn’t help much either. LOL.

it's very far and few in-between that someone mentions how much they love leg day as often as you do.
what is your overall goal from this point out??

Main goal is to improve overall. That being said I know I need more back width and bigger legs overall to compete at the national level. That will be the goal is to improve those areas. Stepping on the national stage next year is the focus. Getting a pro card would be icing on the cake.

I'm going to be paying attention with clothes detail on this one, I'm very confident when I tell you that this is very doable and you're going to be taking numbers.
I'm just glad that myself and many others can follow, and watch your progress. keep up with the detail logs because a lot of people are reading and learning.

I have been on GH for awhile now. Wanted to try the G-Tropins. They seem to get good reviews from people.

Besides bloods; how many ius are you planning on taking , just curious if you were going to take a low dose long term and blast during bulks. Everyone uses differently .

For your standing calves, are they regular standing or donkeys? I know you would have added detail if it was donkeys, but I just want to clarify when I read your log..
Do you like back off sets better than drop sets? Do you notice faster muscle growth with back-offs compared?

 

[Killionb12]

Updates pics. Weighing 260.9lbs fasted in the morning. Up 26lbs from contest weight which was 7 weeks ago.

They are standing calf raises. I like donkey better but I don’t have that machine. I will have my wife sit on my back and donkey calf raises on a platform sometimes.

I like both drop sets and Backoff sets. I prefer Backoff sets with compound movements because i can still go heavy and I don’t have to use someone to take off weight for a drop set. I will use drop sets on machines and cables since it’s easy to drop weight quickly and safer

Leg day today. Got it in early due to plans later on today. Lower back got a bad pump in it and caused me to go lighter on deadlifts. It went away about halfway through training but was still a little sore. Will be going to chiropractor on Wednesday. He is an IFBB pro as well so it’s cool we can talk about competing.

Coach pushed food up after last checkin. This is what training days look like now.

Hey guys and gals hope all is well. It’s a non-training day for me. Looking forward to the time off today and just relaxing. These days off though mess with me mentally. I’m always thinking about the next workout and what I can do to get better but I know growth happens while we rest and recover. Here is what my non-training day nutrition looks like after last update.

I feel ya there. This Sunday was off day for me and it is a consistent mind battle of going in and getting some work done. By Monday i felt much better and stronger but every off day is the same struggle.
