Ckmeter Road to Pro with STADA LABS 🔥— USA Prep Log

[Bolan]

Weight is at an all time high. Life is getting unpleasant. Zero mobility hard to breathe and move. The cost of growing!

Its the price we pay to be famous.... Now add another 56 #'s and that's
how I feel in the off-season.

For mobility, I have active release massages every week.... its spendy
but at least if I have a shirt with a collar, or tie... I'm able to tie it and close the collar down

I noticed on your last diet change, Compton added fats instead of carbs. Did he mention why he went with added fats for that change over increasing carbs more?

I didn’t ask, but my guess is he doesn’t want me having to use more insulin to control my glucose from the higher carbs, yet he wants to increase the calories. Fats are way less food to eat for a greater increase in calories.

Quads are coming along great man.

Thank you man. That’s been the #1 goal. Get my quads so big when I diet myself to oblivion they don’t disappear again lol. Still got a long way to go.

This is the issue I’m running into now lol. Quads are getting smaller and smaller the leaner I get

Oh just wait. If you diet hard enough, all the work you put in to grow them off season goes to shit, and you get to start from scratch, as they turn into literal twigs. Ask me how I know lol

I think the 8lbs Mike lost this year due to being measured properly all came from his adductors. I believe his thigh gap is the only reason he lost to Ramon. Take Mike from the Arnold or last years Olympia in this year’s lineup, and I have him winning.

Do you get any free meals throughout the week or even want them with this amount of food volume?

 

[Oakley6575]

Does compton control your training as well?

 

[Ckmeter]

Do you get any free meals throughout the week or even want them with this amount of food volume?

currently I do approximately 1-2 “free meals” a week usually with my lady when she wants to get a meal together. Often this is sushi, and it replaces 2 meals.

Towards the end of these pushes, I also occasionally swap my last meal for a specific McDonald’s meal that has macros pretty dang close when I get behind in my meals for the day.

My attitude towards free meals is different. It’s more so the break in being so ocd, and also a tool to get my food in when it’s super late.

I’m never sloppy, so it really isn’t an issue for me eating too many free meals. If it was, my coach would tell me. You kind of earn more freedom with him off season. One of his top pros told me last off season he was having McDonald’s or Taco Bell every day with his wife when food got too high LOL.

I’ve asked my coach if I can swap fat sources, protein sources, carbs etc, and as long as it digests well, is clean, and has the same macros he doesn’t care. I’m eating freaking plain ahi poke weighed out instead of chicken, as I can’t stomach chicken anymore.

 

[Ckmeter]

Does compton control your training as well?

I wouldn’t say control. He gave me a plan originally that was stupid high volume. I literally got rhabdo after a week. He told me I can change it up, as long as I keep the same intensity. I do his arm day, as I like it lol.

He more-so advises and mentors my training whenever I have questions. For instance, I need to bring my glutes and adductors up. He gave me the strategy of starting with hip thrusts, then add/abd, then hacks and the rest of my leg day. He encouraged me to stop using weight as a driving factor for growth for chest, as my body can’t handle it anymore — 495x9 on incline smith before my pec injury was actually stupid and unnecessary.

 

[MindlessWork]

BIG BOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You ain't making classic next year unless you grow a mohawk!!!!
Good work "Pro"

A mohawk would look good on him, lol

I love how all the old school guys are like “oh there’s no such thing as overtraining”. When your workout is 30-40 sets per muscle per day, and you get home from the gym, collapse, and then piss brown, you’re overfuckingtraining lol.

Had that happen years ago and it wasn't fun.

I’d lose my job 100%. I’m looking for new jobs anyway. Maybe I’ll rock the mullet hawk for a few days on my 2 weeks notice.

I plan to get a very thick toupee for height one next year. I’m 6’3…always have been lol

Yup understandable and hopefully you'll land a great new role!

Thank you brother. That means a lot. My job is killing me, and the pay no longer justifies the stress.

Interesting he’s not very strict with off season diets but seeing where your foods at, you’d have to eat a ton of shitty good to do some damage to a physique.

Great mind set for free meals, I’m pretty similar since everything is weighed to the exact gram 6 meals a day every day of the week minus my skipload meals. It’s nice to get a small break from that.

Any digestion issues with food volume or when you start subbing out a meal with mcdonalds

I would say my coach is a very no bs coach. I think you have to earn any semblance of flexibility, and officially, he is strict as fuck. My coach puts in what you put in, so if you hired him and asked for flexibility or cheats, he’d probably drop you lol. I know he has dropped clients for that before and will going forward too.

For the majority of my rebound I didn’t really have scheduled free meals/cheats. The only sub I’ve asked for was ahi for chicken and avo for olive oil. I cannot stand taking shots of olive oil. Chicken was backing me up and messing with my digestion.

If you don’t want to burn out, some degree of flexibility is crucial. I didn’t deviate all prep… my gf was literally so ocd year round and never had a free meal. She never asked her coach for changes if she despised food. She burned out. I’ve encouraged her to have communication with her coach and give herself some leniency. Same with training, as she followed his training plan to a t. She finally fell back in love with the sport again. It’s a fine line, as we all want perfection, but perfection can be the enemy of success.

If I had any digestive issues, I would not eat it. No issues with food volume either other than my digestion slowing down with the Lantus. Imo one of the biggest things I’ve learned is digestion is #1. If you just pound food and can’t digest it, you won’t grow.

I learned this the hard way when I was with Justin Harris. It's crucial.

Well, I always try to admit my fuck ups, and I’m embarrassed to share this. I ran out of gas on my way home after a brutal leg work out. I was so brain dead tired, i just wasn’t mentally there.

All day yesterday my digestion was backed up. Every meal was on the verge of vomiting/actually did vomit into my mouth after meal 3, so I was behind on meals.

Finally got home after the gas incident and showered. Drank post workout. Was waiting a bit to space my meals out, and I passed out. Literally didn’t wake up until the morning. So…I have 2 meals to make up from yesterday on top of my normal diet. Gonna be a fun day!

 

[erichuff1994]

lol gonna be 2 rough days in a row brother.
