Thanks for giving some insight on your workouts, MO! I can see now why your arms are so freaking BIG and nicely shaped. Just curious, how many shows have you done? I checked out the pics on your website from 2003 & 2004.. How did you place in those shows?

Thanks for giving some insight on your workouts, MO! I can see now why your arms are so freaking BIG and nicely shaped. Just curious, how many shows have you done? I checked out the pics on your website from 2003 & 2004.. How did you place in those shows? This is gonna be my 3rd show Terry. I have been training for 8 years (8 years, 4 months and 9 days! And the worst thing is that i can't remember easy date like my father's birthday ;D) but at first i trained to look like the guy on the Calvin Klein boxes… after a couple of years i wanted to become bigger than those skinny guy ;D So i took interest in bodybuilding… six months before my frist show!! I was 180 lbs and at that time consumed approximately 100 gr of protein and 300 gr of carbs a day! So even if i was dieting for the show… i add some muscle by increasing my protein intake and competed at 175. It was an area of Quebec city Championship and i finished faaaar from the first spot in the midle weight class. The years after (may 2004) i competed at 190 lbs (i was 205 off season) and finished 1st in the light heavy class of the Province of Quebec WNSO championship (this time it was a natural show, so i was with people with personals values like mine… i prefered the experience for sure) This years i was 216 off season and hope to compete at 195 in may. And Thank you Terry for your comments about my arms, i must say that they always reponded better to training than every other muscle groups (power, pump and intensity). But let me tell you that all my energy and my focus his on my legs and my back, i'll do what i need to make them progress and catch on my arms! Finally you said that Lean body is a great meal replacement… i'll try it after my show (after the pizza of course! ;D) PS: Terry, this email was a true challenge for my english grammar ;D! Even if it's full of errors, i'm sure that my english teacher would be proud of me! haha! Mo

Mo, Thanks for putting the time in for the lengthy response. Believe me, you have MUCH better grammar than the majority of people with English as their primary language. Your teacher & you should be proud! I'll say this, you definitely have the abs for a Calvin Klein model.. I'm planning on a natural show myself in April 2006, but who knows, if I get lean enough this year, I may just step on stage in October or so, just for the heck of it. I did one teen show back in 1988, but I'm itching to get up there again.. There's nothing like it!!!

You seem to be so motivated that it will be a great achievement after all this hard work! So look for your posing suit… if your 1988 suit still fits on you! Some stats: Week 13 (march 27th) After the week... 202 lbs Stats: Average Protein- 365 p Average Carbs - 190 c Supp: Multi vit + Glucosamine + Omega + Creatine (2 month a years - feb and march) + Glutamine So now the question is: Should i continu decreasing carbs (like i always did) even if i'm pretty low now, or should i incorporate cardio? Mo

I would do both Mo........keep protein,and water real high and carb up again after a few days...........whatever you do,looks like you`re dialing it in.
It won`t be long now,so stay focused bro!! :Rocker Dude:
Terry,I agree with Mo............now that you`re dieting is much better and way more consistant,you will definately acheive your goal of getting back up onstage.
Hang in guys........I`m dieting right along with both of you and all we have to do to get there is to keep on doing what we are doing!!
Train hard! :Rocker Dude:

Week 14 (April 3th) After the week... 200,5 lbs (planed 200 lbs for that week and 199 for the next week) Stats: Average Protein- 345 p Average Carbs - 160 c Supp: Multi vit + Glucosamine + Omega + Glutamine
And for the first time i'll progressively add cardio… it will be a lot of fun! ;D
A second set of pics will fallow soon…
A last 5 weeks of pain before the contest… i'll be ready! It's hard, but when i look at the results it gives me a boost of motivation and i sure dont want to return in the "off season" mode! ;D

Hey Mo, It sounds like things are falling into place for you this season. Are you doing any shows in the Quebec city area or QC Province other then Montreal? Thanks for the insight into your journal and keep us posted on your progress. Best of luck to you.

Terry, i will add cardio for the first time in my contest prep... but 3-4 years ago, before my first show, i used to do cardio just for the fun of it ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) (and now, i just cant believe that i had this positive attitude about cardio ;D ) and because i was competing in running competition (10k) and tennis tournament (with the university's team) So it's a tough come back... (but dont cry for me ;D if i didnt have to do it before my last two contests... it was just a bonus i think! ) Keith, i did a contest in Quebec city 3 years ago with the federation FCPAQ, but now that i only compete in WNSO events (it's the other federation that does shows in the province... and they put more emphasis on the "natural" part of competing) i only compete in Montreal (there is only one provincial contest and it's in Montreal)... And if the result of the comtest is good enough for me i'll maybe try the world event in Toronto next June (I already received the invitation due to my last years result but if the competition is too good dont want to go to Toronto this year just to receive a beating! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ;D ) Thank to keep a eye on my journal, if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure for my to answer it! Mo

Terry, Tim, i'm like a son for you ;D you just can't hate me ;D ;D
Week 15 (April 10th) After the week... 198,5 (a bit less) lbs (planned 199 lbs for that week) Stats: Average Protein- 325 p Average Carbs - 145 c Supp: Multi vit + Glucosamine + Omega + Glutamine
This week i think that i made the mistake of decreasing my protein a bit too much. Just by decreasing my carbs (160g to 145g) and adding 2 sessions of cardio i would have achieved the target weight without feeling so depleted and weak.
So starting today, i'll try to bring my protein intake back to 350 or so. I will also try to remove the cardio session and if my weight stays at 198 i'll add it back for the second half of the week (So Terry and Tim will be able to hate me again ;D )
Mo

Week 16 (April 17th) … wow i just realized that i have been dieting for 16 looog weeks! ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) After the week... 197 (a bit less) lbs Stats: Average Protein- 335 p Average Carbs - 135 c Supp: Multi vit + Glucosamine + Omega + Glutamine … i also keep my 2 x 20 mins of cardio session. (Intervals anaerobie alactic) ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Good news, the week 16th was easier than the weeks before. Maybe it's because i passed the psychological wall of 200 or because i am motivated by the fact that i see the end of the diet in 3 weeks. But one thing is for sure… i'll be ready, more than ready. Tomorrow i 'll take an another set of pictures… they gonna be "crispy pictures". ;D ;D This is exemple of the palpitating week 16th: 7h30 3/4 cup of oatmeal (45g carbs) + protein shake (60g proteins) 10h00 Almond + 4% fat cheese ( 10 carbs and 20 proteins) 12h00 1 1/2 chicken breast + vegetable (5 carbs + 55 proteins) 2h30 Protein shake ( 30 proteins) 4h30 1 1/2 chiken breast + vegetable + 1/3 cup oatmeal ( 55 proteins and 25 carbs) 7h00 (post training) Protein and gatorade powder shake ( 60 proteins + 50 carbs) 8h15 4% chesse ( 25 proteins and 5 carbs) 10h15 Turkey (30 proteins) Mo
