Eventually wanting to compete

Thats excellent, lots of them offer different levels of prep to fit different budgets, hopefully you and him can work out a plan that fits your needs and budget.

Definitely a good idea.

FFM, you aren't by chance on the west coast and looking for business are you?!

No I am on the east coast. As far as business if you mean contest prep I appreciate the compliment but I definately lack the knowlege to help you there. I have good common sense and know some people who have competed at high levels but I have nowhere near the experience needed to advise someone on all that goes into good contest prep.

PS while I agree that Baseline's approach would yield good results, with all due respect to Baseline, I definately would not suggest you adopt it at the present time, if you do this for another couple of years and decide that its the life for you then it would be something to consider but to do so on your first contest before you even know if you are willing to commit to the whole deal fully would be very reckless IMHO.

I agree. It is to an aggressive an approach. While it is sound and backed up it is not for me, I do not plan on doing a career out of it. Perhaps doing the summer cut classic on here is a better idea!

Yeh I agree it is a big commitment to take the approach I outlined.... That's why I'm not recommending you do it, just stating my opinion on what I would do if I wanted to compete...

It depends what u want out of this show..... If u want to do it just to say you have done it then carry on as 'normal'.... If you want to do it to win I can assure you there will be guys who are taking that approach and therefore will be at an advantage straight away.... It's sad but it's true...


Either way you can still adopt the style of program I have outlined, you will simply need to do a PCT instead of a cruise and then have a short recovery period post PCT to ensure bloodwork is is good order.... However I would still rather stay on for a bit longer and maybe do a few blast cruises and then come off completely and do a PCT and repeat....... Its really your call... I don't think shutting down the HPTA and then restarting it is the most productive route if you have a clear goal in mind TBH....
