so, I am 20 weeks out and considering my "plan" to prep for the show. Here is my initial plan, feel free to critique it
I will use months since it is easier:
month 5
switched from 5 day split to 3 day split with 2 days HIIT and maintain calorie surplus to try and squeeze a bit more muscle out of it
month 4
continue 3 day split and HIIT dropping calories to lose 1-2lbs a week (shooting for 1.5)
month 3
start HST training cycle (preserves lean muscle mass when cutting-need that) and continue with 2 a week HIIT and reduced calories to maintain the 1.5lb a week weight loss.
month 2
continue HST and HIIT and if needed, add another HIIT session to help keep metabolism up...still watching calories to ensure 1.5lbs a week loss
last month...continue as month 2
if all goes as planned, I should be at my target weight/bf% by 3 weeks out...continue HST and HIIT up until the last week and have my last HST session the week before the show, the last HIIT will be Tuesday before the show...
so...thats the plan...making it work will be harder, but I am good about keeping tabs on my intake.
As far as supplements, I am switching to the pre contest SizeOn and will continue that and the kre-alkylyn up through about 4-6 weeks out and will be using some additional cutting help. I have considered using proviron and nolvadex, but do not want to have the rebound it has...so I am going to just work extra hard to do it sans those...I don't want all that hard work to go to hell immediately after the show LOL.
