Back To the Stage

[J.Halladay]

16 days out from USAs. Feeling like i got hit by a truck, but body is responding well, which is all that matters at this point. Weight is very high for me, around 229ish. I have always had issues holding weight the last two weeks of prep, so im excited to see if i can maintin this weight until the show - but at the end of the day all that really matters is the look that i bring, not the scale (even though when the scale and the look match, its that much more rewarding). Diet has been the same for the last 10 days, my guess is it will probably stay the same until next monday, then we will start some carb cycling/depletion. This is what the diet currently looks like on my High day (which is legs and back day) the only difference between my high and low day are meal 3, meal 4 and meal 5 all have about 25g more carbs in them:


Wake: ABS + Glutes + Low back + 10 mins Battle Ropes + 10 mins medicine ball throw n chase’s

Meal 1: 16oz Whites (drink or cook) + 1/3c cream of rice

Meal 2: 12oz chicken + Cucumber Or Asparagus

Meal 3: 10oz lean red meat + 1c Jasmine Rice OR 8oz red potato

Meal 4: 8oz chicken + 2c Jasmine rice

IMMEDIATE PRE—3 RKT’s

Intra- 60g carbo plus

***TRAIN PLUS*** 10 mins Battle Ropes + 10 mins medicine ball throw n chase’s OR Hammer/Tire slams

PWO: 8oz lean protein OR 16oz whites OR 2 scoops Isolate +1 DD Muffin + 8oz Red Potato

Meal 5: 5oz Flank Steak + 5oz Lean protein + Cucumber Or Asparagus

Meal 6: 16oz whites + Cucumber Or Asparagus

I like the type of cardio used. I just did some battle ropes today, for the first time. What type of time scheme are you using for that?

So ive always lost my leg size (the very little that i have) with typical cardio (steps, treadmill, elpit, etc) so my trainer had me switch to the battle ropes, rowers, and the medicine ball throw and chase a few weeks ago. It took me about 2 weeks to build my stamina up on the battle ropes, but right now i am getting though all 10 mins straight. I am doing alternating arms, arms together, circles out, circles in, then slams as long as i can with each one - i usually last 1-2 mins then switch the motion, do another 60-75 seconds, switch the motion. i feel like this is getting my arms, back and shoulders SUPER pealed....

2 weeks out today, sitting at 226 in the morning. 2 weeks out from garden states i was 215 in the morning - ill take it :)

[J.Halladay]

Today will be the last heavy leg day before USAs - will have most likely 2 more volume ham days (been doing hams 3 times a week since garden states) and one more volume quad day, but today is the last heavy day. Energy is gone, but motivation is high. Ready to kill this last full week and leave nothing behind.

Looking forward to the post season progress. Interested in your off season diet. I'm not training for a show or anything, and I'm an amature lifter at best, but I'm always looking for ways to improve. Still trying to add more mass while leaning out as best I can.

Thats my goal this year brother, adding as much lean mass as possible, staying pretty tight the whole time. I am over the days of eating my face off to end up gaining 2-3 lbs of stage weight - going about it a different way this year, keeping it clean, but keeping cals up and trying to push good weight - i will keep everyone posted on the forum here on my progress this year!

[J.Halladay]
