2021 Offseason Training Log

This will be the first post of this forum in which I'll detail the daily ins-and-outs of how I'm preparing for my first ever Bodybuilding competition. As of today my eye is set on the NPC Midwest Gladiator in 2022, which is typically held in October/November time frame. This gives me roughly 16-17 months before I'd be on stage for the first time. The current plan is to spend the remainder of 2021 gaining weight and growing before deciding the next steps. I desperately need size if I'm going to be competitive in the NPC so that is the major goal at this point in time - that means training and eating!

TRAINING:

I currently train with a Push/Pull/Legs program, structured in a 2 on, 1 off, 1 on, 1 off fashion. So a typical training rotation is as follows:

Push

Pull

Off

Legs

Off

Repeat

If I had to pin-point one area on my physique that I believe needs the most work it would be my Legs, specifically the Quads and Adductors. Because my Leg sessions are so important and taxing at the moment, I sandwich my Leg sessions between two rest days. This allows me to have a full day of rest prior to Leg Days, which allows me to put maximum effort into each session, and allows me a full day to recover after training Legs.

NUTRITION:

Below is my current diet which is followed to a T daily. Since I'm currently in the offseason, I may or may not take one meal per week off plan, depending whether or not my girlfriend go out to eat or cook something at home. Even on the days where I have an off plan meal, I will simply replace one meal with the off plan meal: all other meals are eaten as listed.

PED/Supplementation

I recently finished my first-ever cycle of PED's which consisted of 300 mg of Testosterone Enanthate, exclusively. The plan for now is to cruise for 8-12 weeks (I'm on doctor-prescribed TRT so Blasting and Cruising is necessary for me) before I attempt my second cycle.
