Jslep's "Don't call it a comeback" (ohio leg of the tour)

[jslep]

For those of you who have followed my logs in the past you know i competed for the first time on stage this past may. You may also remember that i was gonna compete in my first PL meet this december. In preperation for it i have realized that my heart is not in PLing and my BB training has suffered in the process. If i was able to lift that heavy without injury i would have been able to continue with the volume i would need to keep with the BB aspect of training but unfortunately in the past two months my shoulders, elbows, and back have suffered strains that all kept me out of the gym. NOT GOOD!! So regretfully i am going to drop the ideas of PLing and concentrate on what i know i'm good at and where my heart is and focus on volume, volume, volume and creating a dominating natural physique.

I returned to the gym this past week after almost an entire month out of the gym with a back strain that for the most part had me bedridden. So this week i will be starting what i'm calling my "225" program. For my three major lifts i will be using 225lbs as my weight for my working sets and just rep'n them out as much as i can. For bench i am projecting 8-10 reps for a couple sets to start but hope to get this to the 14-16 range. For squats and deads i want to get into the 20's. For the rest of my accessory exercises i will be doing a couple warmup sets then 2 working sets of 25 reps thus you can see where the "225" still comes into play. In all maybe close to 100 reps per exercise other than the big three.

The goal in mind is to build as much dense muscle fiber as i can so when i cut i look like a lab experiment. I hope to come in a minimum of 10lbs heavier than last year. I should say i'm not settling for anything less than that. My current weight is 191 of which i think right now is 20-25 within show weight. Now that the summer has ended and my appetite has returned i have a couple months to pump this weight up as much as possible. If i get over 200 i'll probably start to check my diet more but until then its mostly red meat and milk.

So lets crank this party up!!!!!

thanks man!! i just couldn't keep beatin myself up to the point of not being able to use my body. it wasn't working for me so i guess i'm not suited to be a powerlifter. but this bodybuilder thing.......i think i got a shot at a decent future there.

[gaspers04]

Bodybuilding it is Bro! Now start putting those wins under your belt!

[jslep]

its time to win buddy.....i put that second place thing in the signature under my name to remind my self of how close i came but still failed. it motivates me to do better everytime i see it.

[gaspers04]

Not a failure, just on step from perfection. You have done better than most.

Didn't know you had it this bad off. I like the 225 approach. Keep crushing those reps one at a time. Let's get this party started.
