Captain Dominate's Contest Log Prop/NNP/Var

**muscle1** · 07-07-2006, 11:53 AM

i agree with laying off arms for a good while...i feel i used to have the same problem bout 3 years ago...so what i did was just worked them out every other week, lowered the amount of sets, anything besides trying to get them bigger!! even if captain did lose a little but of size on them it would help out his proportions and make his torso look a lot better

**IBdmfkr** · 07-07-2006, 12:17 PM

Capt. how'd you like the compounds? Thinking of doing the same thing with a twist

Well winny+tren also lol..

Looks like it did you well. How'd your strength LBM increase etc while on low calorie diet?

Seriously guys, thanks so much!!! Taibox, IBD, Carlos, Frank , muscle1 thanks bros, it means alot this close to the show to get this support, Every day is a challenge now almost 1 wk out and im just fighting to keep getting better...i get slightly more cut every 2 days or so and things are really coming in now...just posing really hard now every night... workouts are the best ever, and im feeling pretty dam good overall.....i CANT WAIT for next wk and for offseason to begin, its ALL CHEST and legs this year guys, I feel my legs are my best bodypart currently i just really need to hit em even harder this year to get that thickness--once i get the size and thickness they will be ridiculous...and my chest needs the same...

As far as the chems, this has been my first contest using any chems of any kind so im very impressed in the fact that i used so little. Ive been bodybulding seriously for 7 years and training for a little over 8 years and its really starting to pay off. Im very satisfied with what ive been able to do naturally as well, i only used prop and masteron for this show...i cut the NPP after 10 or 11 days which i considered worthless, i really like to keep it simple when it comes to chems, i like to make sure im doin everything healthy and eventually ill get into more stuff when i get the funds to back it up....i know for next contest it will be nearly the same, probably

prop the whole way, and some masteron at the end and maybe some primo if i can afford it...

As far as LBM i know i put on muscle because ive only lost 2-3 lbs, i started the diet at 180lb and today im 177 so life is great! as far as strength goes it was pretty decent for me, i use dutasteride all year long so my strength definitely takes a hit there, but thats my chosen route for now, i want to keep my hair for a while and only plan on using light chems for now.....

i also need to get a corner of helpers together to help my posing and diet strategies too, well anyway, ill start the diuretics on monday and keep posting pics every day guys.....thanks again for all the help and support guys

**muscle1** · 07-07-2006, 03:57 PM

your goin 2 do great captain, and yes, you do have awesome legs!!

**Random** · 07-07-2006, 04:02 PM

Muscle1 i really hope so man, im just staying positive and making sure my confidence stays high on the day of the show...i really got screwed in my first show and should have won the overall, and last year i didnt really get any good call-outs, i was off a little last year but i still had proportions and size and still was out of the runnin...this year im knocking on the door and letting em know that im hungry and i want respect this year....time will tell, im staying positive and just thankful i got the support, advice, and critique of the guys on here....

Looking foward to it

**muscle1** · 07-09-2006, 10:58 AM

as a rule of thumb i use on the front relaxed, i try and make sure i can touch or just about touch my hips with my thumbs, try it out and see if you like it any better captain...

**timtim** · 07-09-2006, 11:07 AM

good luck. keep working hard. its showing.

***doctorherb*** · 07-09-2006, 04:13 PM

Looking good capt.....We need to now work on foot placement...you shouldnt have your legs locked out and place your feet a lil closer and turn your toes outward a tad..(see pic) on your rear shots, i think you should turn your heel in a lil (see my avy for an idea of what im saying)....Foot placement is important in EVERY pose cuz it can impact the appearance of your physique BIG TIME...

Yes Bro your foot placement makes your pose. do as Doc says look at his picture i nhis avatar and make sure all your rear shots your feet are placed just like his, rear foot should be slightly turned out (heels in) an dfront foot should also be slightly turned outward the reason is to show your sweep from the rear making your legs appear bigger. doc's picture is a perfect example.

**Random** · 07-09-2006, 07:15 PM

Thanks gentlemen, ill re-do these poses tomorrow or the next day and post pics again for critique, thanks guys....

hey man, its well deserved! you put tons of hours into training and eating properly. i know if i got down to 179lbs from 200lbs i wouldnt look like that. your legs and arms are massive and ripped. i see in your profile that your short, me being 6' i think id have to be around 235lbs to have comparable muscle mass. I mean thats a ton of muscle you have on that frame!

**Random** · 07-11-2006, 09:15 AM

BigLouie THANKS again man! i remember when i used to stress out on measurements and now im just glad that ive forgotten all about that and its all in the mirror and the illusions to get that symmetrical look, honestly i cant wait for monday when i start to hammer chest this offseason, im just so focused on improving that im not gonna leave any time to waste....talk to you later guys...

**Big Broker 1** · 07-11-2006, 11:38 AM

looking great.....keep up the hard work....

**Random** · 07-11-2006, 01:44 PM

Thanks bro! Almost done with today then i begin my carb-up tomorrow Thanks God! the cravings are awful these days! But im ready and focused....itll be fun...

Thats a world of a difference, just keep working at it. remember turn both feet at a 45 degree angle and bend your knees, sit on it. so you can see the sweeps from the rear.

**Random** · 07-12-2006, 05:33 PM

Hey Thanks a bunch guys! Yea im feeling pretty good coming into this contest! Ive learned alot and cant wait to continue to learn even more, thats the best thing about this sport....You guys have been great! Very supportive and Helpful..Cant wait to fill out and get a good pump going and then my shots will improve greatly since im depleted in those shots...

**Random** · 07-14-2006, 12:07 AM

Ok guys, it sucks being this close to contest but let me give you a story..and yes its ok to laugh on this one!!!!

might be a stupid question, but yesterday i noticed that with increasing my fluid intake along with possibly too much zucchinni i was having some horribly rancid gas, no joke, like un-natural smelling it was so bad, i was wondering because zucchinni does have potassium in small amounts, what would cause this? i know with aldactone im not supposed to add any potassium into my regimen, im confused cuz it happened tonight too almost 5-10 minutes after i ate some zucchinni with a steak...just to update too, the last 3 meals as of today, im talking like 2-3 minutes after the meal it happens, my stomach feels weird and then it hits, just horribly army-killing gas like never before(even though its the same food ive been having all along) i really think its the aldactone...within 2-3 minutes...im kinda freaked out cuz i got 8-9 meals to take down tomorrow, should i take digestive enzymes? whats goin on!?

OK so i finally figured it out: Unfortunately Thiazide Diuretics can cause gas from lack of sodium...i cut my water tonight at 8pm and im currently using 100mg of aldactone per day...the question is...

Can i add more sodium tomorrow for my carb load and will it affect my condition at all since ive already cut my water? Will adding sodium cut this horrible problem? Definitely freaked me out cuz it was like clockwork, and the thing is, i already do add extra sodium to my meals on carb day to help with the absorption, im just wondering how much sodium i should add, my buds are coming down tomorrow for the show and i dont want them to pass out from my rancid gas!!!

I found this on this site

http://www.news-journal.com/health/a...ureticscl.html

Depletions

Chloride; Sodium

Because of the wide availability of sodium in dietary sources, deficiency is very uncommon. In the rare instances where it does occur, depleted levels have been associated with GAS, nausea and vomiting, headache, memory impairment, diminished attention, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, lethargy, and confusion. Extreme cases can cause stupor, seizures, and possibly coma. The development of symptoms depends in large part on the rate of the loss of sodium.

thanks guys...
