OK, I guess you could say I had a successful year even though I didn't win the second show. I still hit the conditioning I was after. This year my goal will be to equal the conditioning and come in bigger and fuller. I've been doing this long enough now that I've got a pretty good idea what works well for me training wise and I now know more about what I need to do nutrition wise!
I plan to post my daily workouts but most importantly will be my daily nutrition journal. My off season plan will be around 400g protein and 275-300g carbs. Since my protein will come from lean sources fats won't be a major concern. I'll start my calories at around 3300 and make adjustments as I see fit.
I'm breaking back in to training this week so I'll be sore as hell for the rest of the week! ;D
leg press 760x6,6,6
squat 365x6,4
stiff leg deads 315x6,6
lying leg curl 90x6,6
standing calf raise 300x8,6,6
calf press 190x6,6,6
I'll start posting my nutrition journal tomorrow. I always over do it on legs the first week back and I'll be paying for it the rest of the week!

400 grams of protein? Ow my kidneys hurt thinking of it. But if you can process that much, you should add considerable muscle. Nice leg session! The first one back after a show is tough.

Joel, this will be a sweet journal. I'm looking forward to reading all your nutritional posts. Still trying to figur out exactly what I want to do nutritionally this off season.

Thanks everyone, I've really got to get back on track with my nutrition! I've been eating somewhat haphazardly since my last contest!
400g protein isn't as much as it sounds like, its only 1600 cal. really just a starting point. I plan to eat my high gi carbs pre and post workout and they will make up about 1/3 of my total carb intake for the day. Its going to be all about eating the right carbs at the right time to get maximum benefit.
It will probably take me a few weeks to iron it all out because I'm so used to eating in pre contest mode.

Thanks Eric, Fit, I'm trying to get back on track this week but I'm off from work and it makes it harder to stick to my eating schedule. I'm trying to take in about 60g pro most of my main meals. I'll probably rely on whey protein to help get it up there without taking in too many calories.

I very like the approach! Almost 400g of protein divided in meals of 55 to 65g is very similar to what I do!
Usually, when I take my diet a little more easy, I eat around 320-340g of protein... and as soon as I bump this number to 360-380 I see some positive changes on my shape! After that, depending of if I want to lose or add weight, I only play with the carbs amount! Fat is also not a major factor because I eat as clean as I could and add around 35-40g of healty fats!
Good Off season success!

Good Off season success! Sounds good Mo, I'm not used to eating this much protein so I'll have to make some adjustments in my eating habits to make sure I'm getting it all in.
