Alright... The all too brief 2009 season has ended... I'm doing 2 shows in 2010... The Fort Lewis Bodybuilding Championships, in May... And... The INBF Washington State Naturals, in August... The Washington Naturals has the opportunity for a WNBF pro card for the winner of the the Masters Division...

This prep/journey is going to be far different from any that I've gone through in the past... 1st off, I'm not going to "blimp out" during my growth season... This time, Rage is also going to be helping me out with this phase, as well... Normally, I've done my own thing, during this time... And, we saw how well that didn't work... So, that being said, this upcoming season should be a dramatic change from the past...

Here's my split that I'm starting out with:

Day 1 Chest/Tri's
Day 2 Quads/Hams
Day 3 Off
Day 4 Delts/Traps
Day 5 Back/Bi's
Day 6 Off
Day 7 Off

The diet will be:

For 4 days, 140g of carbs and 300g protein... On day 5, it will be: 240g of protein and 200g of carbs... Basically an addition of 100g of carbs from my pre-contest diet...

My chest and back routines have been re-vamped, as well...

"For chest lets try this..

Hammer Incline Press 2 x 10
Flat DB Flyes 2 x 10
Hammer Decline 2 x 10

For back lets try this..

Dead Lifts or T Bar Rows 2 x 10
Wide Grip Pulldowns 2 x 10
DB Rows 2 x 10

With each of these heavy sets for both body parts, continue working towards a personal best for the same weight for the two sets in the beginning. Say the first 4 - 6 weeks and then we will go up a bit on the second set. You should always be pushing the envelope on each lift."

Good luck man. Mad respect for anyone who steps on a stage or on a platform. Always seem to be a cut above the rest just for having the stones to do so...especially in a banana hammock.

I know it took me a little while to convince myself about hitting a similar split and now the only regret I have is not starting the split a lot sooner. I wish you the very best and hope it sparks the growth you are seeking.

The only thing I didn't like, was that I didn't get a pump... Moved some weight, and definitely felt it... But, if I have to make a choice between growth and a pump... Well... It is Growing Season... *LOL*

Straight forward and to the point, outstanding workout Mr. Dead! After a couple of sessions with the DB Flyes they’ll be second nature to you and a great way to pump the blood into the muscle.

Just a little curious, are you going to alternate between Incline Presses and Flat Presses from workout to workout or are you focusing more on the Incline Presses?

Thanks, bro!!! As far as the sweep goes... On squats take a weight you can handle for 20 reps a set... Keep your back straight, and go below parallel... (Got that info from "The Freak" Derik Farnsworth...)

As of Monday, this is what my life will look like, for awhile... (Lookin' forward to this!!!)

DIET
It is critical that you follow my diet and drink 1 gallon minimum of water every day. The more obstacles you have, the better your story and the less excuses others can make because you set the bar for them. Success in dieting is in preparation. Cook all your meals the night before or the day of. If that doesn't work, then cook 3 or 4 or even 7 days of food, freeze it and manage accordingly. Always have a portable cooler and always have ice packs on hand. Get used to eating food cold. Do what it takes to make it happen.

Meal #1
8 oz. Top Sirloin or 8 whole eggs and 1 cup of oatmeal
Meal #2
3 scoops Real Gains and 1 scoop Ultra Iso Whey
Meal #3
8 oz. chicken breast, 10 oz yam
Meal #4
3 scoops Real Gains and 1 scoop Ultra Iso Whey
Meal #5
8 oz. chicken breast, 10 oz yam
Meal #6
Dinner - flexible. Eat about 75 grams worth of protein and 75 grams of carbs. Keep the fat down and add a salad
