When Shawn Rhoden was training for the Olympia, he would train for 12+ days in a row before taking a single day off . most of his workout were two a days as well . he would hit back in the morning , eat a few meals, come back and hit back some more that same day for 'touch up' .
Nice to see you iin the real trench gear.Quote:

I'm in my 40s. I've had a half dozen back injuries, 4 back surgeries (in just the last few years) , spent time in a wheel chair and bed ridden months on end. several other injuries and surgeries . the last 4 years have been physically rough on me (a handful of surgeries, car accidents, weeks in the hospital, etc). but hoping I can stay injury free the next 10 months and put on some quality muscle and jump on stage.
- Currently , 5' 9 height , 198 lbs .. will bulk to 215-220 and begin contest prep diet. my maximum weight limit for my height in my division is 197 pounds. right now I'm pretty weak . so I gotta lot of work to do. I'm probably sitting at 12% body fat
- and lastly, which you've noticed,, I'm an 'out of the box' thinker especially when it comes to bodybuilding and AAS usage.
Respect. Lot of things going. I run my own buisness too. But its far from fitnessrelated. More the opposite lol.Quote:

so as long as I come in under 197 pounds I would make weight in all three divisions (based on my height of 5'9)

This workout was just a followup from yesterday when i hit chest, tris and shoulders hard.
Yo Obs..i know ur been here for years, but your contributions lately have been good, but not superb. So im promoting this new guy, Geari, to be the one granted the Castle table rigth spot from now on.
Gearhead is educated, runs a gym and shows initiativ. And he is gonna compete. Just the kind of guy we need as a Castle runner up. And as a Castle leader if i get banned again.
Its ok Obs..ur stil nr 3 buddy. And lots of guys who would sacrifice their rigth hand to be 3.rd.

What is your take on Rich Piana, GH?

I actually just went to the low rep range. I normally do a 15/12/10/8 rep scheme. I think my body needed this change. I was growing off cycle when I changed to low reps.Quote:
