Precontest prep -10 weeks out
August 13, 2009 by Ryan Irwin
It’s been a good training week, feeling good and having good workouts. Last Saturday hit 295 on the bench very easily and feel confident of my strength here. On Wednesday did back squats then did my last set of deadlifts, which will be the last of those till the Iowa State Fair powerlifting meet next Saturday on the 22nd. For anyone interested, the meet will be at the Budweiser stage which is SW of the VI building. Lifting starts at 10AM. Weighed in at 155 on Wednesday, so might actually drop down to the 148lb class for the Fair.
This week I dropped some additional carbs and for supplements, threw in some extra green tea with my CLA. Have been using a new product called Cell Power, which I add to my Xtend and sip on in between meals. It helps keep me going in between feedings. Have also started using a timed release protein during the day to help keep my hunger levels at bay. Thinking next week starting a fat loss agent, but we’ll see (like to keep those in my back pocket for the end).
My foods have been: oatmeal (old fashioned), protein powder, veggies (green beans/broccoli), tuna, cottage cheese, almonds and Ostrim sticks (for on the go). Sometimes eggs if I get a chance to cook. One of my favorite HIIT cardio sessions has been doing sprints with our sled behind the studio at Nutri-Sport. Totally jacks my heart rate up and develops power at the same time.
Things are coming along as planned, good progress for the bodybuilding contest in 10 weeks and ready for the powerlifting meet next weekend along with the rest from Team Nutri-Sport!!
