That is some very nice squatting, as usual.
When you did smolov, did you do the full 13 weeks? Did you use your actual 1rm or a little less. Thanks.

No I only ran the first 4-5 weeks but implemented it into my routine afterwards. I ran into the old dilemma of feeling 'fat' so mini cutted and lost alot of progress lol. Used a 1rm+10lbs I think to make it more difficult.

damn you, mr I don't squat for a month but still squat 4 plates.............

Should be squattin 455 for reps by now but imma puss

Yay, workouts being posted again!

x2!

lol thanks. ill continue posting them i just ran into a little slump

dude you look pretty fkn sick to me. bearing in mind we can't see any of this 'sloppy' figure as they're blurry and your bent over:p

but still, very impressive. you've put mass on def!

400+ squats.....dayum

Life's been a tad hectic the past few weeks. This week seemed to pick up the slack and multply a few times. Haven't really been eating nearly enough - possibly maintainence or so due to financial issues , but I make sure to try my hardest haha.

Wed: 10/21/09

chest/tris

flat db: 100x7, 100x6, 100x6
incline db: 80x8, 80x6
smith close grip: 225x2, 225x2, 225x2, 185x5
db flat flyes: 40x12 (3 sets)
tri pess downs: 4 sets x 6-8 reps

Last night I did Back, was pretty horrible.

Deadlifts

365x2
405x2
425x2 (PR i believe.)

I tried doing Reverse hypers but kept throwing up in my mouth so had to stop. Stomach issues were apparent during deads also.

Did some close grip V pulley rows.. Got up to 220x4 (PR) , and some Lat pull downs.

Arms and chest are growing nicely , legs/back seem to be maintaining but I guess that's what I need for now. Car passed inspection today so when I can get ahold of License money Ill take the driving test and pass it with flying colours.

Orientation Thursday for 6 hours! Gotta wear khakis if I remember correctly. Another friend that works the same job as me wants to get an apartment with him.. but with College coming up and what not I dont think it's really advisable on my part.. I need to focus more so on school than handling an apartment considering I have a roof over my head as is from both my dad and other friend. Just isn't worth the risk.. Any one else wanna drop their 2 cents?

pretty sick workout Brett, you may learn to embrace the ipod-less workouts. I use to train with an ipod but now I only wear an ipod for cardio. It is far better to train ipod-less in my opinion. No wires getting in the way, no worrying about putting on a good song and coordinating it with your set, no ipod in your pocket getting smashed by dumbbels or falling out during decline press. Plus, I actually find I am way more focused on training without the ipod; its like all you have to think about is the lift and not what music is streaming through your ears.

Pics are doo doo. Only thing Ive noticed changing is my chest/delts while my arms refuse ta grow. (minus biceps, tris are just gay.)

I'll get better ones soon if I get a chance.

Mini cut might actually go down - I'm a firm believer that if you're not happy with yourself at your current state there's no sense in forcing it to go one way when you don't want it to. I think I explained this to Zak a few days ago. Past 5lbs or so have been bleh-ish.

Misc

First day of Mini cut complete. In all weirdness it actually felt pretty good WEIGHING food as I haven't done so in a few months. (Eyeballing, which Ive been accurate as all hell..prep FTW.) It was more of a mental prep to see if I still had the strictness of weighing food, hitting macros dead on, yadi yada. Cardio was actually challenging.. This thingy won't last too long i've just been in a rut the past month or so - dealing with this that and the third. So probably one week, maybe less, maybe another week if I decide to haha.

check out my routine my man, its upper body targeted which I think you could benefit from aswell, just manipulate it a bit to hit your goals

(first muscle group listed is the focus of the workout so you hit it high volume, second is secondary low volume)
Day 1: Chest/Arms
Day 2: Back/Delts/Hams or Quads
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Arms/Chest
Day 5: Legs
Day 6: Delts/Back
Day 7: Off

Also I FINALLY tried naturally more and idk why i didnt listen to you sooner haha that sh*t is amazing!!!

Last night's work out was mediocre at best. Very frustrated with my performance. Need to seriously get back on the ball in terms of eating more as Ive been struggling lately really. Currently sketching in a new routine because as stated before the past 1-2 months or so have been sporadic as all hell.. with nothing set in stone.. thus no weight gain in terms of lifting/myself.

Here are some pics though lawl. Legs have seemingly stayed kaput yet my upper's growing. Bout time.

Lower power

New split goes into effect Sunday or Monday. For now Im messing with a few things to see how I respond. Never really believed in over training and tonight it was evident. That quote of myself Bustasinclair posted really lit a fire under my ass and it carried through out tonight's workout.

So two days ago I squatted a crappy 365x2 for 3 sets, and Deadlifted 405x2, 430x1. Followed up by pounding out 6 sets of Reverse hypers and 5 sets of GHR's due to being frustrated with my lack luster performance.

Today I debated on Rack pulls or Deads..haha. Womp womp.

Deadlifts started off with ALOT of pull throughs, inbetween sets as well. i like them.

405x2
430x2 PR woot.
430x1

Squats narrow stance! i was messing around with these :D

225x5
275x3
275x3
^...this here is what I refer to as me being lazy thinking that if I keep it in the 3 rep range Ill be in and out, so i said to hell with it lolz.

275x12... and i had atleast 3-5 more in me.

Something along the lines of

1-Lower- squat focused (3x5 on squats)+do light speed deadlifts(5x5 with 50-60% of 5rm) as warm up
2-Upper- Bench focused (3x5 on bench) + hyper work on the rest of upper body
3-off
4-Lower-Deadlift focused (work up to 1x2-5 on deadlifts)+do speed squats as warm up before deads
5-Upper-speed bench(50-60% of 5rm)+hyper work for rest of upper body
6-off
7-off

Plus an arm day thrown in here or there. Sort of like Lyle's routine slash Laynes. Nothing new, lawl.

One of the diet guru's for two of the competitors referred to me as the kid with the striated ass from last show, LOL. Didnt recognize me till James and Paul made me compare my legs to theirs, lol.

Amazing weekend with James, Paul and a few others off bb.com

Really well run show and the first bodybuilding one I've ever been to without competing haha. Was different from my point of view and FUN FUN FUN. Helped both with their tans back stage and shot hundreds of pics of the other competitors, etc. Shook hands with alot as well, just an overall fun time. Atmosphere was incredible and needless to say I can't wait till 2011.

id do more of a write up but im tired, haha. For anyone more interested check out Austrian Oak's log, Blazed, both did AMAZING. PS - Austrian Oak has the coolest sideburns Ive seen in awhile, LOL.

How is he not pro natural yet? That guy is a monster I see him lifting in the gym all the time. Was this show a pro qualifier? Did he win it? How'd casey do, I havent talked to him yet? Hahah million+1 questions coming at you right now.
I know exactly what you mean, watching a competition puts everything in a different light than actually competing in them. It makes me realize just how important posing is hahah Also idk if it did for you but watching a show always sends my motivation through the roof!

If you wanna pick me up. I dont work Saturday but Im not sure if this is a one night thing or an all weekend?!

I know you said your working Sunday right? What about friday? I work sunday starting at 7am so im just trying to figure out the best plan to make this work for me you and Zak getting there.

Sick weight. Deadlifts don't seem to be a problem for you. In my experience and from what I have heard, speed work isn't all that great. It doesn't even make sense to me. You should always be trying to move the weight as fast as possible. I have heard that box squats and paused squats will help you a lot more with explosiveness and speed if thats what your looking for. Anyways, great numbers.

Nick hit me up last night and I told'em I was eating Swiss rolls just to get cals in lmao. Never ever ever thought I'd state this but I suppose 7 months bulking does that to ya LOL

embrace the fluff!!!!!

If you cut, I'm gonna cut you son.

Seriously, F' it. Even if you cut, your appetite would only last a few weeks max and then you'd be forcefeeding again. poptarts, cookies, and swizz rolls ftw.

swiss rolls FTW! I think you are making some good progress right now Brett and that back double shows it. If your not comfortable with how you look or whats going on then by all means do what you gotta do and push forward. Maybe a cut for a few weeks is what you need to help get your motivation and appetite back!

I hear ya Nickster. Im comfy with how I look and what not since Im offseason but without an appetite I feel like im short changing myself and spinning wheels. Ill push forward to 170 then mini cut it up in December maybe ;] Reminds me of last year..

Oh hai thar gaiz, I was in Baltimore for the USBF Junior Nationals. James took 4th place in the Jr nats and 1st in Bantams. Got piccies but Im too lazy to upload so we'll see where that ends up. Semi-striated butt cheeks were had on James the night prior so good job brett man for prepping two manlets to 1st place victories. Overal Jr nats winner posts on Body space and Im gonna try to find it - he was 24 , looked purdy damn good but after seeing Worlds... honestly nothing holds a candle.

After witnessing Worlds; along with other shows, and taking serious criticism from people I might by pass 2011 if Im not big enough up top. I'll leave that to Bert & Erny. (eric youre erny, why, ive no clue. i said so. take it. yea. whats up whats up.)

Trained Legs this morning on one meal, not too bad but was a tad pissed at my lifts.

I hit 365x2, 365x1, 385x1, 385x4 and 405x1. Not too bad for my frail 160lbs ass.

Every lift counts toward the end goal. 405 @ 160 is dam good! Keep them coming!

Honestly, I think that's a good idea to pass up 2011 to bring up the upper. It's up to you though obviously....and I can't even imagine what the wheels will look like 3-4 years from now.

and big congrats to James and yourself for the victories!

Legs have been put on the back burner since post show. Ive hit 405x3 so lightweight baby! And i hear ya man

Pffft, Im not passing up 2011. No chance in hell I'd pass up an opportunity to be on stage with that caliber of competition. Let alone stomping in front of Eric in the overall and pop locking like a mother flucker.

I think you got a year and a half to do some serious work sonny boy.

That I do and it's gonna happen. Once Im financially set things are gonna go SO phucking good in the other direction.

Hey bert!

....but seriously....I really like how long term you are thinking, and how patient you are brett, but before you make the decision about 2011, lets just see what you're looking like in winter of 2010. No need to decide now big guy

That right there's the truth. Youve always pointed out and hated me for criticizing/downing myself so much that I should probably STFU and give props where props are due. Maybe pat myself on the back lol. I think by the time winter 2010 rolls around I'll be purdy beastly.

I feel the same way about my upper body, I haven't even competed yet and the whole Bigorexia thing is in my mind about competing lol Good thing about bb.com though is you've got lots of experts to ask for opinions!! One day at at time ;)

Worddddddddd, bigorexia is horrible but betters you to an extent. I take your word as I take anybody elses. Pro or not Ill listen to anybody. That's how it SHOULD be done. Whether you look good or bad, those with words are worth listening to. Then again opinions are like a-holes...

Didn't we make a deal ho?

Yah Im not bailing.

Exactly! Took me a while to finally decide I felt ready to simply hit the stage. In your case I know you want to HIT the stage. :) Also folks are expecting BIG things from you next time you hit the stage. ;)

Yea. HIT with big capital bold letters like WTF where did he come from! Its why such a recession is needed because I sort of have that weird sense of weight on my shoulders that I shouldnt have for being an amateur natty bb'er. But to say I aint hitting that show....pffft you know me Berto.
