Continued from Part 1
James Collier – 18/03/09
I met with Daz today to discuss the preparation plan for the Body Power Expo UKBFF competition on 9th May. Daz is due to start the preparation for this on Monday.
His condition is excellent and he isn't far off stage condition at all, so keeping this in mind, and the fact that he has lost weight since he stepped up his cardio 2 weeks ago, we're actually slowing things down for the next 2 weeks. I've instructed Darren to cut back his cardio slightly, and instead we're targeting his carbs around his workouts, bearing in mind he trains twice daily on most days. He's not doing post workout cardio at all now, but is still doing his HIIT at the weekends, along with yoga.
Here's the meal plan he'll be following to the letter for the next couple of weeks:
James Collier – 23/04/09
Daz is now all set for his guest spots at the Body Power Expo in 2 weeks. He'll be appearing on the main stage on both days, and for the rest of the time, you'll find him on the MuscleTalk stand. His preparation is going well, his weight is down to 18 stone 9lbs and he's looking ripped and sharp. He's there, to be honest, and water manipulation will fine tune his physique. He's not cutting back the cardio a little as he doesn't need to lose any more.
He has a photo shoot with Body Fitness magazine next week too. Here's the meal plan he's been following:
The Body Power Expo 9th & 10th May
Darren guest posed on both days as well has having a number of photo shoots on our stand, along with seminars and meetings all weekend. He looked remarkably better on the Sunday morning than on Saturday. The diet regimen he has been following for the past few weeks has been a huge success and we have a few minor things to iron out for the British finals in October.
Here are some pics and videos of the weekend:
