Back at it!
Nashville
TMT The Blueprints is all finished up and will be coming out in a few days!! 43 different workouts are included in this book! It has a beginners, intermediate, and advanced program!
After taking some time off from being robotic with my nutrition and cardio through the months of November (after my shoot) and December I officially started back on a meal plan this past Sunday. I also took 4 weeks off from any type of stimulant based supplement and the only things that I continued to use was some aminos, vitamins, and whey. My weight for my shoot on November 7th was 202lb and for the past couple weeks I was steadily holding onto 225lb on an empty stomach. By the end of the night I was weighing 230lb. I could easily get heavier if I wanted to and get caught up on the number the scale says (as I did in my novice years) but I would start to look sloppy and that is not a look I'm going for. Too bad everything we ate didn't turn into muscle because I have a ridiculous appetite and the more muscle I've put on the hungrier I seem to be. So right now after only being back on a nutrition plan for 3 full days my weight has dropped down to 219lb. This first initial quick drop in weight is a bunch of water. I tend to hold onto water like a camel and day by day my condition will harden back up. I started cardio back up last week and did 4 days of 20 minute low intensity post weight training stepmill. This week I've done 3 days of 30 minutes empty stomach AM cardio on the stepmill and will do 2 more. Depending how my body responds to everything will depend on what I'm going to do with my nutrition and cardio regimen. Right now I'm doing 7 meals and that will stay the same. My goal is to eventually reach that same or better condition I had for my shoot but be heavier (more muscle) once I compete. So far I'm leaning towards doing the Derby Show in Louisville at the end of April as my first physique competition.

BCAA vs Protein Poweder post workout... im reading that i should be having a 2:1 ratio of carbs and protein powder post workout (mass gain phase)... however i have been taking a BCAA supplement with my simple carb shake... whats the real difference here'? Am i missing out on potentially additional mass by not taking an actual protein shake pwo with carbs as oppose to the BCAA?

Is it okay to do cardio 7 times a week? 5 days LIIS and 2 days HIIT or all 7 days LIIS? I am only planning to do it for 3 weeks before going back to my old cardio routine of 6/week in the morning LIIS. I just need to get in shape for the beach

why dont you gain weight? I feel like even 220 is a bit skinny for a 6' 3" kid. In you most recent shoot u definitely lean I just think its a bit too lean to be a fitness model trying to get on covers. maybe thats not your goal though its unclear i guess. just my opinion no harm meant

I saw your blog post on HIIT Training, isn't it quite catabolic to be doing HIIT 3 days a week? I am currently cutting and doing your old cardio routine which is incline maxed and walk at 3.4
