    Default RJ90210 and Dirk coming back strong!
    Yep Yep haven't been around much as time has been very limited but had to give you a taste of what RJ has been up to the last couple months.

    He came to me and said listen jay I want to do a show and of course I said its go time!!!

    We are 3 weeks out from the Georgia State Show and he's been dieting for 13 weeks now.

    Weight at the start: 238
    Current Weight: 238

    I think the pics speak for themselves but with 3 weeks to go and pulling the water off him he is going to be a freak!!!

    Look at those quads. Give us a general outline of what you've done to keep him at the same weight but make such obvious changes.

    looking great RJ. the above would would be really cool, as much as you can anyway. Dirk what did you keep the sodium value at during the diet(if you can say) thanks, great job again and good luck guys

    Sodium-----Have absolutely no idea. I'm sure it varied with whatever condiments RJ used. I could care less how much or little during the diet someone uses. Obviously there is advantages to using more then to little but it makes very little difference in a physique. The only time sodium has any signifigance is the last week or so and even then it comes into play if you decide to sodium deplete / load or water deplete / load.

    As for the diet:

    I'll see if i can post it to***ht sometime. Honestly we only made one dietary adjustment up to this point. It is basically the same thing i've been preaching. Lots of quality foods (consistently) couple refeeds, lots of low intensity cardio, and small adjustments to fat burners.

    I'm out of town starting tomorrow for the next week so i'll probably let RJ answer most questions. He can post whatever he wants or feels comfortable with.

    thanks guys, I will give you these points, in comparison to what you hear from most competitors, that I think made this prep a piece of cake. The first onoe being the most important.

    1. I had plenty of carbs throughout, which never left me wanting food. I had a few cravings for things of course, but at times i was too full, as opposed to being starving for food.

    2. i drank an assload of H2O the whole time (almost 2 gallons daily).

    3. i didn't change my workouts really at all except for reps (higher). i stayed with alot of compound movements, and heavy weight, just concentrating on form. My strength really hasn't gone down at all. Only thing that has changed has been i fatigue faster.

    with the exception of those times when i just said "why am i doing this shit', these things kept my muscles full and kept my mind at ease. Losing weight is one thing, losing strength along with it can **** with your mind obviously. I had neither of these things happen, so i was good. lol

    btw, for those of you that don't know, this will be my first show ever. Any questions feel free to ask.

    First off.....fantastic job.

    I am doing my first show ever in 15 weeks. At 12 weeks my trainers are pulling out all carbs except for veggies and they go low sodium from week 20. No refeeds. Needless to say I am extremely skeptical. I am actually ahead in the weight loss of where I should be! By 3 pounds!

    So guaranteed I will be picking your brains for your experiences because we are both new at this contest thing! I do much better with a few more carbs and I still lose! But they say it makes a difference how I look on stage!

    Good luck in your contest! You'll be hearing more from me!
