2011-10-18T11:02:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody..well, im back..with a 2nd place in my hands..Very Happy for that, although I wasnt on my best shape. I did my best, but it wasnt enough, now its time to give EVERYTHING, and Push me to the Limits...
Now im focus on my last step on this year: The 2011 World Junior Champ..
But, is not a simple thing, because, for that I need to get my ticket to Barcelona, and I only have 6 weeks for that. So, any help will be greatfull for me..

2 weeks out..

2011-09-30T08:02:00.000-07:00

Well..And finally here I am..11 months of sacrifice, patience, and hard work.. Now It's the time, im 2 weeks of what can be the most important contest of my life. Im giving all, like always, going to extremes in all the aspects that my preparation involves. I won a local contest last week, I wasnt on my best shape at all, but now, im right way to that.. Just 2 weeks to measure myself against the best junior bodybuilders of the earth, just 2 weeks to be in the best shape of my life, just 2 weeks to see how hard work pays off..
My actual weight is around 92 kg (202 lb) for my 1,73 mts (5'8")..nothing bad, considering that last year my competition weight was 82 kg (180 lb.), so, great gains during my 2011 off season...
Hope to do it well at the contest...Im sure I will, win or lose is just a consequence, I won myself, and im pretty sure that I did my best, Im confident with my job, thats why I have great expectations for me on the next 2 weeks..

6 weeks out...

2011-09-10T21:29:00.000-07:00

Well, long time ago since I uploaded my blog for last time..
Time has arrive..I made some great improvements during my bulking phase, wich started on November 2010 with 96 kg (211 lb), and finished 6 weeks ago with no less than 110 kg.(242 lbs.) So im really satisfied with my progress,obviuolsy thats the result of a lot of hard work..
So, 6 weeks ago I start my cutting down phase, I was motivated and wanting to give the best of me, and Im pretty sure this is the right way to victory.
My first contest will be a local one, in 4 weeks, that will be just a "test tournament", will help me to check how's my condition and how's my posing routine..After that, I will travel to an International and really recognized contest, hope everything goes well there..That's my pass for the IFBB World Junior Championship, wich will take place in Barcelona, Spain.

My body has change a lot, I think I add some size on my shoulders, arms, back and legs..Im not sure how the pecs, buttocks and claves will be at the contest date..In only know I did my best on every training, on every meal..
My actual weight is around 98 kg. (217 lbs), my abs are clearly visibles, my shoulders and legs has the right definition..My back is a little delayed, but Im working on that, I think it will be completed on the next two weeks.

Thanks a lot for follow my steps during this hard and beautifull way..

Here there are some pics of the last two weeks..enjoy it!

Great memories...

2011-06-12T20:35:00.000-07:00

2011-05-23T21:41:00.000-07:00

Hey! Six month have passed since I started my 2011 preparation, road to the world championship..On november my energy was fully loaded, I gave all, on every training, on every meal, on every rest..I made an Inteligent and Efficient work, and is reflected in the results I got..
So..Im on the halfway, Im on the right way..Im very excited, im proud of myself, I want to measure myself with the best Juniors on the world, I want to be there..I want to show my progress to the entire world, I want to surprise to all the people that never trust in me. And Im sure, im really sure, I will make it..
Now Im Loaded again, I rest one entire week, and I want to go to the gym, and eat all the plates..I want to break my limits, my mind is ready, my muscles want it, my soul need it..

More intensive training, more food, more rest.... = More Size!!!!

2011-04-30T17:04:00.000-07:00

Hey! Long time ago since i posted last time, im still on my bulking phase, and i still have some months to gain more size..Im training really hard, pushing my body to the limit on each set, trying to reach the failure on every excercise. I feel great, my body has changed a lot, I had add 10 kg from november to now, and this is still not over..my actual weight is around 106 kg. (233 lb.) for my 1,73 mts (5'8"1/2), and I will increase at least to 110 kg. (242 lb.), I think my bodyfat doesnt exceed the 8-10%, that would be around 8-10,6 kg..

Nostalgia..

2010-10-15T19:46:00.000-07:00

Investigando en el facebook, viendo algunas fotos y videos un tanto viejos me agarro un
poco de nostalgia..Ver como era de chico, recordar momentos de la infancia, recordar viejas amistades que luego con el tiempo fueron desapareciendo..Y si desaparecieron fue xq yo no supe mantenerlas en pie, xq quizas no me interesó o tuve otras prioridades.
No me arrepiento para nada de ello, todo en mi vida hace unos cuantos años gira entorno a mi deporte, un deporte que exige una entrega total, una preparación completa y continua tanto fisica como mentalmente. Y si esas amistades o compañias no se mantuvieron durante estos años fue xq siempre me puse como prioridad. Muchos nunca lo deben haber entendido, muchos aun hoy no lo entenderán, y quienes intenten cambiarme con el afán de creer que me estan haciendo un favor, se equivocan, y claro esta, que fracasarán. Yo soy lo que soy, al que le guste bien, y al que no mejor que se aparte, no necesito de su aprobación..Mi estilo de vida esta planteado, no tengo que darle explicación a nadie sobre como o cuando hago las cosas. Quizas muchos crean que soy soberbio, arrogante o egocéntrico, quizás tengan razón, quizás se equivoquen..No me interesa, no puedo darme el lujo de preocuparme x el pensamiento de aquellos. Yo soy así, y prefiero estar solo siendo el Fede que me gusta, el Fede que me da seguridad, el Fede que me hace sentir vivo; a estar rodeado de hipocritas y tener que actuar para ellos..Y ahora lo veo tan claro, quienes no me acompañan hoy en mi camino, es mejor que sea así, pues solo serían una piedra en mi progreso.Quizas leyendo esto creas que me equivoco, quizas esto te haga reflexionar sobre mi, no me interesa..pero si tienes tiempo de hablar a mis espaldas, se valiente y comenta mis
palabras.
A muchos les caigo mal, muchos quizás quieran que las cosas me salgan de otras maneras..Muchos quizas crean que mi arrogancia me traicionará, pero eso no es más que la envidia de saber que tengo un camino fijado, que tengo un objetivo en mente, que tengo algo que SE que voy a cumplir..Nada me detendrá, nada me hará retroceder, y aquellos comentarios o pensamientos negativos solo lograrán reforzar mis ideales, reforzar mis convicciones y darme fuerzas para seguir avanzando, avanzando y creando nuevos obstáculos, que no te quepan dudas, voy a sobrellevar...Y mi exito quizás te haga replantear tus pensamientos..y mas aun, quizás quieras imitarme..pero recuerda que nadie ni nada hará las cosas x ti, nadie te enseñará el camino a seguir, solo tu tendrás que hallarlo. Y cuando lo halles, siguelo, marcalo, establecelo..que nada ni nadie te saque de ese trayecto. Encontrarás miles de
piedras, miles de soretes, no quieras pisarlos, solo ignoralos, y ten fe, que solos se pudrirán. No necesitas de nadie, solo de ti mismo, de tu mente, de tu fuerza, de tu espiritu y perseverancia..
Crees en algo? pues ve y hazlo realidad..Nunca es tarde, nunca es mucho, comienza hoy...Nadie te detendrá, TU eres tu unico rival, tu eres la inspiracion que necesitas, tu eres todo..

Diet...Some Changes..

2010-10-04T22:23:00.000-07:00

My new diet! Its time to renew my diet, now im around 95 kg, the goal is arrive to 100 kg before christmas..Keeping clean..

Working out..

2010-09-26T22:22:00.000-07:00

Like I said few weeks ago, now its time to GROW! So training is really important for this process, I think training involves 20% of this magical and hard process.
Right now, my weaker points are my chest, my hamstrings and my calves..That's why I have to train them harder and more often than the rest of the muscles. During the following 3 months I will train my chest at the beginning of the week, and then at the end of the same, so I will work out my pecs twice a week.
First training, wich will be developed on Monday, will consist in 3 excercises; 1st and 2nd one will be superset excercises, and the 3rd one will be a burner excercise.
1st day: CHEST
    Flat bench press 8-8-10-10-15 (170-160-140-120-100 kg.)
1)
    Incline dumbell press 8-8-10-10 (42-42-37-37kg.)
    Incline dumbell flyes 4x12 (37-37-27-27 kg.)
2)
    Incline barbell bench press 8-8-10-10 (100-90-80-60)
3) Chest parallel Dips 4 x failure

Argentinian Contest..2nd place..

2010-08-18T21:39:00.000-07:00

Well..After all the effort troughout this entire year, the big day came. I was in my best shape, I coudnt be better than that. But the Judges awarded the muscle mass before the symmetry and the definition, so i got the 2nd place. The other guy was really big, 106 kg, against me with 80,200 kg..
So check the pics, take your own conclusions..

After this experience, All I want is to add size to my muscles, so since yesterday, my main goal is to gain 5-6 kg of lean mass during this entire year. 2011 will be my year, nobody will overcome me..

3 Weeks Ago! Pics taken on July 20, 90 kg (198 lb)

First Contest..!

2010-08-07T21:30:00.000-07:00

Hi! My first contest of the year is tomorrow, so im anxious for that. Although this isnt MY contest, i mean the most important contest fot me, I want to get the 1st place anyway! I wont compete with a 100% finished phsyque, because for this I would have to remove water and sodium, and this can affect my phsyque for next week. So tomorrow I will go to check the posing routine, the music, the lights, the paint and my entire body off course. Right now my weight is 86,200 kg (190 lb), a great weight for me!! Because im lean, ripped and not so small..If everything keeps like this, my contest weight will be around 83 kg., thats 5 more kg from last year to now! An incredible gain! Off course hard work pays off, and here is the example..

New Pics!

2010-07-30T21:28:00.000-07:00

4 weeks ago..with more size than last year. 92 kg..Keeping with the low quantity of carbs..

3 weeks out..

2010-07-25T21:27:00.000-07:00

Eating just 100 gr of potatoes, and 1 kg of proteins wich includes meat and chicken, my weight went down to 89 kg..
Check my last dinner.. =)
300 gr of meat! with some onions..

Adjusting the diet..

2010-07-19T21:25:00.000-07:00

Right now im 4 weeks out of the argentinian contest..my current weight is around 90 kg. (202 lb), my bodyfat is around 4-5%, and im eating less and less..Actually my only carbs are 200gr of potatoes..so, my strenght have decreased a bit. Today, like every monday, i train my legs..Weights decreased slightly, leg press with 460 kg. (1012 lb.) for 12 rep. I felt tired this weekend, because of that today I incorporated another supplement to my current diet, BCAA'S, but I didnt realize that this new product contains SUGAR!!, so..i cant take it anymore, not until my cutting down phase ends. Tomorrow I want to check if i can get some gingko bilboa stract, some taurine, caffeine, ginseng and guarana. That would be great, I want to use them 1 hour before training, that will makes me feel better..

Some pics from 3 weeks ago, In that moment I was 7 weeks out of the contest, I had done 4 weeks of cutting down diet before the shoots..
Hope you like it! =)
Fede..

After the weekend...Monday..LEGS DAY!!!

2010-07-13T21:24:00.000-07:00

After 2 days without any type of weight training, because cardio never stop ;).
Today, Monday, was my leg day..specifically, i work out my quadriceps and calves.
Although I am eating almost no carbos, my strenght level hasnt decreased, thats why today I train like a beast! Really really hard..After the warming up, I started doing 4 sets of leg presses, with 450 kg (992 lb.) the first two sets, for 15 and 10 reps respectively..Then the weight goes down to 360 kg (693 lb) for 12 and 8 reps.
After that, my legs were trembling, I could not breathe and I was a little dizzy..but, the training wasnt complete. So after that I did 4 light weight sets of full squats, 100 lg (220 lb) for 15-15-12-10 reps. Then, to complete it, i made 4 sets of cable extension, for 15 reps with all the weight that the machines allow to put in..
Great training, my legs are dead, and begin to ache..
For calves, I only did a superset of extensions, good weight, 15 reps or more..
Thats all..tomorrow, shoulders.. ;)

Hey! Here is my last video, in wich you can see some captures of my off season..bigger than last year, hope to explode on the show!

First Contest Results..

2010-07-10T21:32:00.000-07:00

1st Place on the first contest of the year! weighting 81,750 kg (180 lb), here there are some pics!

2010-07-10T21:14:00.000-07:00

Im About to start the 11th week of pre-contest diet..For now the journey has been easy. I started with 102 kg (222 lb.) and now im around 92 kg (202 lb.), so I lost 20 lb., luckily I havent lost much muscle mass, I still have a good size, my strenght declined slightly, but not so much..And of course, the definition of my body has improved a lot. There are still 5 weeks, so its time to reduce a significant amount of calories, most of wich come from carbos. I will be more hungry, maybe my mood change, but all that is worthwhile when i look in the mirror..

Chest Workout..

2010-07-09T21:12:00.000-07:00

Today I workout on my chest, after that i was exaust, so i did just some basic movements for my biceps..
I started warming up wit some series of bench press, light weight for 30-40-50 reps, then some movements with the pulley for my rotator cuff (shoulder), this gives me the assurance of not getting hurt.
First excercise: Incline bench flyes, I did 2 really heavy sets, for 8 and then 6 reps, with 42 kg (92 lb) dumbbells each side, after that 2 more sets of 8 and 10 reps with 37 kg (81 lb) and 32 kg (70 lb) respectively..After this 4 sets my chest was really pumped, the inside chest had worked.
Second excercise: Incline bench press, just 4 sets with 100 kg (220 lb) for 10-10-8-7 reps, superset with bench flyes, 20 lg (44 lb) for 15-15-12-10 reps. This convined excercises gave me a great pumped, and also a great pain.
Third and last excercise: Bench press with barbell, to finish my chest workout, i did 3 sets of 25 reps with 70 kg (154 lb), superset with 3 sets of cable crossover for 15 reps on each one.
Actually this isnt my current chest workout, but honestly, today i felt i had to change and surprise my body..sometimes i do this, maybe once a month for each muscle.
Ok, this was all for today, hope you enjoy it!
