Spain here we come!!

Hey


Like six weeks vacation aren´t enough for me I decided to go to Spain for a week haha.
On Saturday we leave for a week in Nerja Spain with some friends for their wedding and it will hopefully be a great week with lot´s of sun, swimming and of course training. We have rented a house that is supposed to be close to the beach and has it´s own pool so everything looks good. I just hope the house has wifi so we can watch the live stream of Mr. Olympia next weekend. I love this part of the year when it´s close to Olympia time where they constantly update musculardevelopment with new videos leading in to the show. Besides Spain and Olympia I also have my birthday coming up and we have the Swedish Championships around the corner. I will be in Västerås that whole weekend watching the show and also coach the very talented Therese Svedbom who is competing in bodyfitness.
I was planning to compete myself but with us going to Spain ( a trip I can´t miss) I felt it was a little too close to the competition to go a way for a week at that time of a competition prep.
I am now super focused on making gains and improve my physic for next competition and I will bust my butt this winter putting the mass on and at the same time keeping a decent offseason shape.
I have bulked up way too much in the past and I will not let that happened now.


Right now my training schedule looks like this.


Monday: Back, rear delts, traps and calves.
Tuesday: Biceps and Triceps, calves and abs.
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Chest superset with back and calves.
Friday:  Legs and abs
Saturday: Shoulders, arms, calves
Sunday: Rest


I decided to try to train calves almost every day or at least every time I´m at the gym.
I also do a little extra back on my chest day and arms are getting worked twice a week.
I am never static in my thinking when it comes to a training program so if I don´t feel recovered
I will switch things around or being a family man I might have to change my schedule around.
This will be my master plan for at least a month though and then I might prioritize something else!

On the beach in Cali soon we will be on the beach in Spain!!

Olympia predictions

Hey


It is September and I just love this month of the year.
Why you might ask? Well first it is my birthday this month and even though I am getting way too old to fast I still like birthdays. Birthdays means spending time with your loved ones and it means eating cake which I can this year as I am not dieting for a show.
The other thing that makes September great is that the Mr. Olympia is held in Las Vegas which is the superbowl of bodybuilding. I Always get up in the middle of the night to Watch the live webcast to see the best of the best battle it out on stage. I love following the videos and all the hype on the internet leading up to the show. This year I will not be watching it from my house as I will be in Spain with friends but we plan on watching it at the hotel as the friends we´re going with like the sport as much as I do.


So who is competing at this years Olympia and who do I Think is a force to be recond with.


I don´t know if this is the complete list or if everyone on this one is competing but I´ll use this one.

Phil Heath, USA:  He will be presenting the best package and will win his 4th Sandow, he has the least flaws and with his crazy 3 dimensional  thick physic, round muscle bellys and shredded condition he is just to hard to beat. placeing 1 (if he slips and Kai Nails it he gets 2)

Kai Greene, USA : Kai as an underdog is my favorite to win and he is according to me the only one that can knock the champ of if he comes in peeled with great fullness. The problem with Kai is that he seems to have a hard time combining the two. If he does he might upset the champ.

placeing 1,2,3
 Dennis Wolf, Germany: The german giant is starting to get all his eggs in one basket. With his lack of calf development I don´t see him winning the show but if Kai Green is big and not sharp Wolf can sneek in and get 2 Place. Placeing 3 or 2
Shawn Rhoden, USA Beautiful lines but is just a Little to small and even though he has a Flex Wheeler kind of physic he is missing the wow factor that Flex use to have and that you need. placeing 6-8
Dexter Jackson, USA: Accourding to pics it looks like he put on a solid 10 Pounds of muscle and if he comes in looking like the blade with the added mass I put him in a solid 4th place
Justin Compton, USA This kid is massive and shredded but he can crack the top 10 placeing 8-10
Steve Kuclo, USA: Steve has the lines and the mass but lacks the grainy condition placeing 8-10
Branch Warren, USA I am sorry to say this but he is not getting better and will slip in placings every year. placeing 9-12
Mamdouh Elssbiay, Kuwait: Big Ramy is the big hype and he is big but lackes seperation so I don´t see him any better then 5th. Placing 5-7

Juan Morel, USA: Now it´s a party Morel is someone I like but I´ll Think he will be out of top 10

Roelly Winklaar, Curacao: I don´t know if he is doing the show but he is just to layed back and with his poor posing and presentation and he is often not in condition he will be 10th at best.

William Bonac, Netherlands: This guy could be dangerous and could crack the top 10

Victor Martinez, Dominican Republic: Vic is hopefully back and if he combines condition and mass I will have him somewere between 5-8

Jonathan Delarosa, USA, Great guy with a great physic and if he Nails it I could see him crack the top 10 and get some redemtion on his friend Morel who has been placing a head of him all season.

Lionel Beyeke, France All the potential in the World but will not be in shape out of top 10
Cedric McMillan, USA Probably the most unconcistant guy in the field could go from top 6 to dead last depending on what he brings.
Johnnie Jackson, USA: His upper body belongs in the top 6 but his lower body will put him outside top 10.
Essa Obaid, UAE Always in condition but is not good enough in this line up. Out of top 10
Toney Freeman, USA: Amazing for his age and with a lot of luck ( if the others are out of shape) he could be some where around 8-10 but most likely he will be out of top 10.
