Crossfirebmf's NPC GGS Log

[crossfirebmf]

What's up guys? I'm entering the NPC Greater Gulf States competition held next June. This will be my first contest. I've always talked about entering a competition, but somehow I always ended up injured. I'm a fatty now so no need to let me know lol. I weigh around 205lbs. now and I plan on competing at 175lbs. I'm 5'8'' tall. My injuries now are basically shoulder pain from a bench press injury two years ago where I tore my right pec, subscapularis, and bicep tendon in my right arm. I partially injured the same stuff on the left side as well. Anyway these injuries prevent me from lifting heavy. Also both my triceps tendons are injured from armwrestling last year like a jackass, but they've been healing slowly due to getting re-injured. So here we go.

I'll weigh myself every week and post the workouts up. The diet and supplements will be secret, but it's the usual bodybuilding food.

Pics will be up tomorrow.

I'm not going to be doing a "normal" schedule as in 4, 5, or 6 six days for every body part. I'm going to be doing a 10 day on with one muscle group worked per day and 1 or 2 days off schedule because I find that it takes each muscle group around 10 days or so to recover without injuries or pain and it's been working for me as far as not getting injured and gaining muscle. I do a lengthy warm up as well. I have until later tonight when my girlfriend gets off of work to take my pictures so they will be up tonight.

Sessiona seem good, but by looking at your weights i c that the injuries really limit your strentgh ability.

Sessiona seem good, but by looking at your weights i c that the injuries really limit your strentgh ability.

Thanks man. Yeah they limit me a lot, but I've slowly been getting stronger.

Imagine doing EVERYTHING including legs (due to the instability of my upper body injuries) with 5lb. dumbbells for weeks then moving up to 10's then 15's etc. over months. Then re-injuring one thing then starting over then re-injuring another thing and repeat over and over all over 2 years of time. Lots of physical therapy and "muscle rehab". It sucks to say the least.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Yeah i get you, just keep on training and dontre injure yourself! you will get where u want to be!

 

[Samoan-Z]

Nice looking log bud, keep it up and with your previous injuries it might be in best interest to slowly work your way up from lighter weights, which I think you may already be doing lol.
