What egoatdoor Is Up To:
Nov 24, 2009
egoatdoorchanged Weight from 207.5 lbs. to 208 lbs., a 0.5 lb. gain in 7 days
Add five additional pounds of net muscle between February 2009 and March 2010. Continue to improve hamstrings, add back thickness and biceps size.
Goal (Long):
Goals for 2009:
1. Add five additional pounds of net muscle between February 2009 and March 2010.
2. Get more rest and recovery which means more sleep, more off days, less volume in the gym and fewer early morning cardio sessions.
3. Improve hamstrings, especially the ham/quad separation and thickness from the side view.
4. Improve back thickness and add size to biceps and calves.
5. Keep the chest symmetrical with my shoulders. Chest has a tendency to lag.
6. Successfully complete a three month strength training/powerlifting program starting in April to increase my overall strength.
7. Eat a cleaner diet this offseason. Cut back on sugars and things like pizza. Change carb timing so more carbs are eaten earlier in the day and carb intake is cut off at mid afternoon on off days.
8.Keep my midsection smaller and tighter this offseason.
9. Reduce my supplement bill. A couple of items are already eliminated and I will experiment with a raw caffeine,yohimbine,green tea and synephrine stack as a less expensive alternative to Lipo 6.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 5 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
6%
Upcoming Contest:
Not a contest. My Vacation.

I finished week four of my Strength Training cycle Thursday. I am at or close to the peak weights I lifted at the end of the last cycle in June. This week, I should be matching or exceeding the previous highs and then I can add more incremental weights the last two weeks.
Starting October 18 and running for seven weeks until December 3rd, I will be repeating the 5x5 Strength Training Program I did this past spring. This will conclude my "off season" training after which I will switch to "competition" mode in prep for next year's vacation.
Well this doesn't surprise me at all. You train hard, smart and you've done your homework...the perfect mix for reaching your goals!! Best of luck even though you don't need it. :)
i had never really looked into DC before altho id heard of it, but i just did now. it seems really interesting, almost a more intense version of HIT with some periodization. very interesting. id like to try it but ive only been seriously working out for 5 months, so i dont think my body will be able to handle it though. are you still using DC now? is it extremely difficult (or as hard as the bodyspace articles make it sound)?
hey man, i just commented on your Yates blog, but i was wondering, have you been doing any HIT routines? i just started so im interested to see if youve had strong results longterm
I agree. Maturity means you don't even think of dating anyone who you know will turn out badly because you are not at all alike. I don't care if a man is pretty.....more if he is compatible.
Thank you, I think I will too, it's just surprising to me how good I feel to be back to high-volume training... I enjoyed the HIT, but I think my body might truly prefer the volume and grow with that best. I guess we're all different, huh? :)
You ahve some serious squat numbers! Thanks for your comment on my blog and the 2 working sets idea. I might be overtraining, I've always thought do it till you can't... i might be wrong at my age. Best Rob
