Contest Prep: 15 Weeks Out!

Follow James Sadek as he starts us at 15 weeks out of his contest preporation. He'll go through his diet, training and tell us how his progress is coming along...

Hey! How is everyone doing? First off I would like to apologize for lack of updating this part, my part of the website. A lot has been happening and I just wanted to take a break from bodybuilding related matters except training so I could get back into it full steam when I started prepping for this years competitions.

Now that's out of the way first order of business. The shows I am looking to compete in this year are the Junior New South Wales State INBA Championships, the INBA Junior Australian Championships and if I qualify the INBA Natural Olympia in Vegas in the juniors again.

INBA NSW Juniors – 15 Weeks Out

I am now 15 weeks out from the first competition of the year. I am about 102kg which is about 225 pounds and that is the biggest I have ever been at 15 weeks out.

I got up to 105kg (230 pounds) this off season and did that from a lot of eating, eating everything! I made sure I got a lot of protein, other then that I didn't care what I ate but tried to keep the sugars at a low. I really enjoyed that see food diet but I did get sick of eating towards the end but the fear of not eating tasty foods kept me eating ha-ha!!!!

Anyway it is now winter here so getting up for my early morning cardio is very challenging but I am getting used to it. Here is my daily intake of food and when I am training along with the supplements that I am using.

* I didn't train on Sunday, so that was my day off. I was in bed no later than 10 pm all nights except Saturday!

Training Split:

  • Monday – Delts, Traps, Calves
  • Tuesday - Legs *
  • Wednesday – Back **, Calves
  • Thursday – Chest
  • Friday – Arms ***, Calves
  • Saturday – Back (Heavy Movements)
  • Sunday – REST/RECOVERY!

* Glutes, Hamstrings, Quadriceps
** Lats, Middle/Lower Back
*** Forearm, Biceps, Triceps

I am doing back twice a week because quite frankly it sucks. I need to bring it up in thickness in the upper back so if you have any suggestions let me know ASAP. I am doing a second back workout of deadlifts and heavy t-bar rows and seems to be going ok at the moment.

Next week I will explain my diet plan but this week was basically low carb and then a high day on Sunday. I will explain what I am trying to do next week!

Well that is it for this week. Tune in next week for "14 Weeks Out" online journal!
