[Deleted]

hi Mr. bates, i need help to plan my next contest prep...i would like to get your advice because i really need to win that National in the -100kg & to get my ticket to the arnold classic & the world for the next year...

So, here is the deal:
for now im doing your reduced equipped cycle, im on weeks #2...
i will do a Push & pull on January 30th in my homwtown & i dont have the choice to lift because a lot of people are waiting to see me in action in my hometown...So, from december 16th to january 30th, 7 weeks remain (6½)....& from january 30th to the national championship on april 7th, 10 weeks remain...for a total of 17 weeks (16½)

i dont really know how to deal with that (evaluation skills, squat percentage etc...)
What can i do?

Your Help is very appreciated,
Thanks a lot!

ok so you will finish 4 this week? the 2nd of January?

How about skipping to the last 4 weeks of the program?
Do the skills evaluation wk but only go up to 90%
Then finish out the rest of the program for the jan 30th event.
make sense?
