Dave Goodin - New IFBB PRO

[nicksmith3]

On the 30-08-09 after 30 years of training, dieting, and winning numerous titles, Dave Goodin has finally achieved professional status and earned his IFBB Pro Card.

I think this speaks volumes for the level of hard work and dedication he has put in as a true drug-free natural bodybuilder. - It's pretty damn kool to say the least!

not an ebook -

was an old contest final week prep I got out of an article he posted somewhere;

I. Sodium loading and depletion

A. Increase sodium consumption Monday through Thursday by adding more table salt to food and/or taking 1-2 salt tablets per day.

B. Friday - maintain as low sodium diet as possible. Drink as much distilled water as you can hold. (I usually drink 1.5 to 2 gallons) Take 100mg of potassium 3 times on Friday spread throughout the day.

C. Add a little salt Saturday before prejudging. Take in a little salt after prejudging. Continue drinking distilled water as you are thirsty.

II.Training

Sunday- Legs - HARD!

Monday - Chest, Shoulders - HARD!

Tuesday - Back, Arms - HARD!

Wednesday - Very light pump up and practice posing

Thursday and Friday - Practice posing

III. Diet

A. Monday through Thursday

Protein - 275-300 grams per day from lean beef, chicken, egg whites, and protein powder

Carbohydrates - 200-225 grams per day mostly from peaches, apples, oranges and grapefruit.

Fats - 20-25 grams per day from meat, poultry, and CLA

B. Friday - I cut my protein to 150 grams from protein powder. I eat 20-30 grams of carbs from fruit every 2 hours all day

C. Saturday - I eat a little fruit and some eggs, first thing in the morning. I try to eat as little as possible before pre-judging so that my waist will be as small as possible. After pre-judging I like to have a grilled chicken breast, and a bowl of Ice Cream and I eat some fruit before the night show

Keys to getting shredded

1. Stay within 10-15 pounds of your event weight. If you were too smooth last time, stay within 8-10 pounds of that weight.

2. Give yourself at least 1 week for each pound of fat you have to drop.

3. Give yourself extra time if you are not sure about how much you need to lose.

4. Schedule a photo shoot for 2 weeks out from your event and aim to be ready at that time. You can make adjustments if you are not quite ready. If you are ripped and ready for the photo shoot you can maintain or slightly increase your calories the final 2 weeks.

5. If possible, schedule yourself 2 or 3 events with 2 or 3 weeks in between so that you can try different final week preparations to figure out what works best for you.

6. Always record your diet and training. Although it seems chiseled in your mind when you are in the midst of preparations, it will be months before you get ready to get in this condition again.

7. When you find a plan that works for you, stick with it. Plan out your final week ahead of time and stick to your plan! If you are not 98% ready on Thursday there is not much you can do to look better. However, extreme measures such as dehydration or over carbing can make you look worse.

8. Don't confuse a thin layer of body fat with holding water. If your skin still appears thick going into the last week you are still holding subcutaneous fat.

9. Don't stuff yourself the morning of the event. You are not going to get enough carbs into the muscle to make a visual difference, but you will give yourself a bloated midsection.

10. Don't restrict your water. Most of the fluid lost from water restriction will come from blood volume and muscle cell volume. If you dehydrated for your last event and found that you had a hard time getting a pump and your vascularity wouldn't come out, it is because you lost water from your blood and muscle cell volume. Dehydration is necessary for steroid users bcause the androgens cause edema. If you are a dedicated natural you won't need to dehydrate. Try sodium loading and depletion to ensure that you don't retain any subcutaneous water on the important day. If you are ripped and ready but wind up retaining water on show day, then you are probably allergic to something that you are carbing up on.

11. Don't do any more tanning after Tuesday. Any trauma to the skin will make it hold a little water.*

Thanks for posting his previous shows!

Heres an episode from inside the life featuring Dave:

Update:

IFBB North American

Saturday August 28th I won the Over 50 Overall title at the 2009 IFBB North American Championships and finally earned a coveted IFBB Pro Card!!! What a thrill! I couldn’t have done it without my girlfriend, Diana Hurley. She made me do cardio many times that I didn’t want to get out of bed early, or when I was feeling too tired at the end of the day. It all paid off on Saturday!!!

After the show we hit downtown Cleveland for some sashimi, a couple of sushi rolls and a few drinks. Then Sunday morning we were up for cardio and back on the mission for my next goal….a class win at the NPC Team Universe. I want to make the US team to the IFBB Amateur World Championships before stepping on the Pro stage in 2010.

Note the very cool Built By Iron shirt I’m sporting in the pic above. Thanks Reid! And, thank you to all of my friends and fans for all of your support, and all of your congratulatory messages!!! I’ll get to all of them eventually!

Now I’m off to the airport. I’m heading to LA to shoot with Michael Neveux for the magazine!!! Look for future articles and a cover with me and Crystal West!
