Well here it is, the journey begins. The Road To April 14th and 28th. I am freaking amped and ready to attack the gym with everything i have. the week off has just made me hungrier to get back into the gym. I snuck in yesterday and worked my ABS 8 heavy sets only barely getting 15 reps with each set. Oh the pain today in them. I want to come in a little leaner/tighter, i hope it happens. Here's my weekly split for now:
Monday->Legs & ABS
Tuesday->Chest & Shoulders
Wednesday->ABS
Thursday->Back
Friday->Arms
Saturday->ABS
Sunday->OFF
OH YEAH BABY LETS GET IN ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoops, I think having a week off will actually do you better. You'll be able to peak - eat whatever you want for Saturday and half of SUndya and then have a full week back on diet before your deplete/load stage. It'll make you TIGHTER!

Hoopie - you said you didn't understand my post. I was just saying that by having an extra week between your contest (ie - competing on the 10th and 24th instead of 10th and 17th) may actually be better for you. The reasons being:
1. Saturday night will be completely free for you to eat/drink what you watn
2. Sunday morning and afternoon you should be able to eat what you want.
3. Monday you'll be back on your diet steady through the remainder of the week.
4. The Monday before your next show you'll begin to deplete again.
Your body should respond better and you'll be tighter. By doing back to back shows, you have to "hold" your conditioning, which may be more difficult.
