I was very close to being there too. I posted it in my training journal. I am now shooting for May, a contest that is here in town. I should have no problem getting ready for it. I am working on a gain for a bit now, while still pretty lean. If things go right, I should only have to diet about 6 weeks to get ready for this show. Even with all the calories I am taking in right now, I had my bodyfat done this weekend and it was only at 9%. So, I am going to hang in that area, not go past 10 or so before the end of this month. I do not know the contest date yet, but the last 2 years it has been in May, so I am looking at starting back to dieting the end of this month. That will give me about 6 weeks.:dumbbell: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Quick question for you though...since I started dieting down and I'm still in the beginning stage, should I cut down the amount of malto and dextrose I'm taking in NOW or later in my diet? Its ALOT of calories. Good luck to you man.:dumbbell: -------------- I can beat Mario Brothers without losing a life. Jdelts@freetrainers.com

No insulin spikes, this week is spent totally on rest and making sure of insulin sensitivity. It becomes even more critical now. Then I go back my first week, cut my post workout spike in 1/2, and train picking it up each day. The second week, I usually stay there, and then you should be pretty well set with maintenance. Then leave your PWO shake as is, and start with your calorie adjustments. I don't make any changes to my PWO anymore till the last 6 weeks or so, then adjust them for intensity of workouts. By the way, just found out the contest I want to here is one on May 22nd, and the other in July. I am kind of having fun gaining right now, I am setting record highs on lots of lifts, may wait till the July show. Got a couple weeks to decide. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2004/03/19, 06:15 PM One more question Ron...I may have asked you this before, but when I choose to do cadio immediately AFTER my workout, should I not take my protein and maltodextrine until AFTER the cardio or BEFORE. Because at this point(immediately after the weight training) my body needs the nutrients for recovery BUT if I go and do cardio within 5 minutes, I feel that it may be counterproductive. Follow me? I just confused myself. -------------- Baseball is wrong: Man with four balls cannot walk. Jdelts@freetrainers.com

If on the other hand you are going to do a cardio session like HIIT, you may as well wait till finishing it and then have your shake. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
