to be fair my diet knowledge was lacking really so I opted for keto and think reduced to far and was flat and had defo lost lot size and then took ages to even get back to same sort of size as was before my plan for next time is to get good coach and stick to there plan yes I did also start to train legs twice week splitting hams/calves and quads up and did find this was best time legs grew but as said went through little lacking period where I didn't train them for couple months at all then started back with every now and then now im back to solid every week I was going to split them up bit was just trying full arms day as arms lacked but have seem to come on well latley this was how I think of changing as I cant train weekends that's family time but have mon-fri always chest/tri hams/calves delts/traps quads/calves back/bi I don't ever train abs reason ive found is im very thick in my waist and just don't want to make it any thicker |

The routine you posted below looks good. How long of a diet are you thinking for your next contest? When you started to diet for your last contest, did you do anything differently training wise (e.g. lower weight higher reps, increase cardio?)? I know it's only through the internet, but if there's any pre-contest training advice I can share from my experiences, I'd be happy to.

and as diet went on I did lack with strength so weight did become lighter for same sort of reps as was before normal pyramid system cardio was from start and increased the way through it ie started 1 20 mins a week then ended up 5-6 30-1hr sessions my cardio is very much done outside or garden I like circuit training and love to flip big tyre I have to be fair id done quite well on cut but very much messed up towards end as I made things more complicated than needed to be |

I hope you don't mind me commenting?
16 weeks is a long time to diet and train for a contest - IMHO. 12 weeks would be the longest I would consider, but (for me) 10 weeks is plenty. Everyone is different though. My mistake for the first show that I did was to diet too long, and too calorie restrictive. As such, in addition to losing fat, I lost a fair amount of muscle and ended up (in my view) flat for the show. I did win the weight class, but could have come in with more muscle and fuller looking. Obviously, the goal for a competitive bodybuilder is to come in as lean as possible while retaining as much muscle as possible. Based on my first experience with dieting and pre-contest preparation, the next show I did I moved up a weight class, was much larger and fuller and still very ripped. Came in second in my weight class in that show. No doubt, you learned some good lessons from your first show and I would imagine you'll be in a better position to do some things differently for your next show. But, that's how we learn. As far as losing strength, IMO, 8 weeks out from the contest date I'd add some AD-50, and 6 weeks out add some Halo. That should help with strength as well as hardening you up - IMHO. Erich Quote:
