Long Off-Season to Classic D Class Weight Cap

[Slowww]

why tf r u bodybuilding dude? you need to get on an olympic lifting squad or get powerlifting asap.

315 for 17 reps on 99% of lifts is ultra elite...but over your fucking head is insanity.

i know its been nothing but glaze since my first comment, and i stg im not trying to lay it on thick or anything, its just legitimately mind blowing.

ill try to stop clogging up ur log with redundant compliments, but if you keep posting insane lifts i cant make any promises.

Also bro I appreciate the kind words, lifting is pretty solitary but i really give it my best so I don’t mind youre being nice hahaha. It’s good to have a positive community so no need to feel weird being nice to each other. I also will just compliment folks in their logs too hahaha nbd

Picked out show days

August 21– Chongqing china, show for prize money. Hopefully I can get a little bag here between the prize pool and my sponsor.

September 11- never forget. Xian regional - look for ticket to pro Qualifier

September 12 - pro qualifier
- if we do well here we may do one more show to punch ticket to pro qualifier in 2027 then get back to growing. If I need to cover more ground in terms of muscular development we will go straight back into off season and then look for another back to back regional + national in 2027.

anywhere we can watch this?

always rooting for a bro, maybe a little too early to ask for where to watch xd

The Xian show will be live streamed and they also stream the pro show for free which is the day after the pro qualifier. I know they stream on Chinese tik tok, I’ll have to see where else they live stream a bit closer to the show, but I know for a fact that Huanji (the Chinese IFBB affiliate/promotion) free streams all the shows to try to boost engagement & grow the sport

I find it interesting that you do 300kgs on the hack, 200 on the leg extension and only 140 on the leg press for 15. Any reason why?

the foot position i select has pretty extreme knee flexion, ans I am not flat footed (on the toes to get great ROM) so I take a very slow tempo for it in order to really limit the loading and not danage my knees ankles. It resembles a sissy squat more than a traditional leg press for my #2 session. On my legs #1 session i do 455kg for less than 10 or 300kg for 15 with a standard set up

Bulk is over

In the last 20 weeks i managed to put on 20kg/46 pounds. Here are before and last check in with peak calories.
*note because I was in two different countries around times of end of cut and bulk, and I had to look for the same pose variations check ins were at different gyms. All are fasted, except for red & blue front double biceps



Moving into maintenance + health phase
Maxed out at 266 pounds

Dropping insulin, EQ and ment, will go to big boy TRT.



food has been reduced as well, I was still growing too fast on the calories so we tapered them down a bit just so I hold in the mid 260s instead of keep moving up.

Coach decided we should just hold it a bit, make sure health is optimal and then we will not ramp up again but hit the gas full blown as we go into prep.
He thinks we should have a great competition season, so Im really looking forward to getting these next 8 weeks of maintenance and health done and getting down to it.
