2 Weeks Into My Pre-Contest Diet

Well, I'm 2 weeks into my pre-contest diet for the 2010 Atlantic Canadian Bodybuilding Championships on April 17th. So far so good, I took some progress pics in the can after my workout the other day and posted them below...

(gotta love the toilet in the background, adds character :)







































I'll be keeping track of my progress and posting what I'm doing with regards to my diet, training, cardio, etc.

Right now all I'm doing is cleaning up my eating and doing daily cardio. Nothing too drastic. For example, if something comes from a drive through window, or gets brought to the door by a delivery guy, then chances are I shouldn't be eating it LOL.

For my cardio I'm doing at least 30 minutes per day. I'll use my elliptical and stepper at home if the weather isn't good outside. If it is a nice day I'll go for a walk with my dog Sasha. And if I have to shovel snow out of the driveway I'll count that as cardio as well :-)

For my weight training I'm doing a modified DoggCrapp workout routine.

For my workout today I did:
- Hammer Strength Incline Bench Press
- Seated Shoulder Press Lockouts In Power Rack
- Decline Bench EZ Bar Tricep Extensions
- Weighted Pull Ups (parallel grip)
- Reverse Grip Bent Over Barbell Row

I basically did as many warm up sets as needed to get up to 2 heavy sets of 10 reps for each exercise.

  2. Hello Lee,

    I'm starting a "Fit at Fifty" campaign in January 2010. I'm currently 310 lbs and extreemly out of shape. My goal is to run a 5k in 2012, which is also the year I turn 50. What advice do you have?

  25. Hello, Lee!

    I was positively surprised to see your present condition and to understand, that you are going to compete again!

    I also got angry at the negative "opinions", that some
    persons had the face to send above! They must really be "wise" without any borders...

    There will be more than enough time to April for you to get rid of the thin lair of fat, that probably is a must for you to have been able to get the strength and stamina needed badly to train down to your future top condition with veins on your ripped muscles.
    I understand very well, that your muscles will look
    a lot bigger at the contest with more separation.
    How do I know? I used to train together with the late Mr. Scandinavia, Mr. Europe and Mr Universe in Helsinki, Finland.

    Best of luck! You really make yourself a good example to your loyal pupils all over this planet.

    Aimo

  26. hey fit at fifty man, Lee is an animal and a bodybuilder not a whimpy runner, stop eating and start lifting, youll enjoy being a beast rather than running a 5k
