[j_neatherlin]

Million Dollar Baby was a great movie, indeed.

[hepennypacker52]

[Brego]

did my 3 mile cross country run today... went really well. No shin splints at all.. felt loose the whole way, made it up all the hills relatively easily. Maybe it is time to add some distance.

[sword chucks]

gj on the run. Do you always run in the same place or do you change it up?

[Heisman2]

Your bench is a lot stronger than your military press.

Nice workout, bro.

[Brego]

Are you liking this workout?

it's alright. I don't like any workout while cutting because I don't see any results.

[Brego]

Your bench is a lot stronger than your military press.

Nice workout, bro.

[BRADP3]

Did you cry at the end of the workout?

[chuckles_345]

How do u do sets of 10 on deads? I'd need a nap after that or something. 5 reps is more than enough for me with deads. 3 sets of 10 with 1 min rest is amazing.

Chuckles

[JAGERBOY]

10 rep ....1 minute rest deads do sound killer, regardless of weight, I might try them with 315 just to see what happens.

Chuckles
Possibly, if I dont post after next Tuesday, then I guess we'll no what happened....

[mivi320]

Awesome job, B. Those squats are looking nice.

[Brego]

thanks a lot all.

Deadlifts + 1 minute rests = big time heart rate elevation for the whole workout for me.... throw in squats afterwards... takes all i have in me to complete those 2 exercises.


Wheelies - if you do 3x10 at 315 with 1 min rests ill send you a pickle.

Ok, bet.

[heavylifter954]

lmfao at the last 2 posts..i did 12 rep deads with i min....they aint easy thats for sure i was dead after the deads..lol....how long of a break do you take between deads and squats

[sword chucks]

nice workout

wussy GMs though :D

[Brego]

lmfao at the last 2 posts..i did 12 rep deads with i min....they aint easy thats for sure i was dead after the deads..lol....how long of a break do you take between deads and squats

i get a drink of water, load the weight on squats and go


SC - what do you good morning? I've never done them until now.

[sword chucks]

In my last workout, I worked up to 95X8 with good form and I think I had more in me but I dont have perfect form yet. Youre prolly gonna improve form too so weights will go up. I know your kinda close to wheelies strength and he does 205 on them

[hepennypacker52]

Yeah slowly progress the GMs and make sure you keep good form.

At my peak strength like 8 months ago, I was able to do 135 x 6. I got 95 x 9 today, but it wasn't close to failure.

[Brego]

Umm.....cal, g fat, g carb, g p.....thats what the **** I am talking about. Problem?

[BRADP3]

Umm.....cal, g fat, g carb, g p.....thats what the **** I am talking about. Problem?
I got a problem Mr. blue, I just dint know what that macro **** was, not smart :D. I pick weights up, then eat steak

[Brego]

Umm.....cal, g fat, g carb, g p.....thats what the **** I am talking about. Problem?

roughly 2200 cals, 200+g of protein, 150-175carbs, 50 fat.

[j_neatherlin]

nice hyper's bro...that's a crap load of weight!

[sword chucks]

Brego I think you are eating too little... I eat the same amount of carbs and fat as you but then 100 more g of protein and I am losign weight and I am littler than you! Are you sure that is an okay amount of cals to eat?

great hyperextensions too. Holding that weight must be very annoying.

[Jorday]

Nice work bro.

well this is the slowest ive ever lost weight... ill stay where I am.

[JAGERBOY]

Im at like 300p 200c 30-50f I believe, gotta check again...

[Brego]

I usually consume between 230-250g of protein.


Did my 3 mile jog today. Thermometer said 97 degrees when I passed it. Still made it hte whole way fairly easily... even on EC.

the guys who died from taking it must've taken a **** load.

You're a stud Brego, why the long runs, trying to copy mwah :D.

[heavylifter954]

i can barely jog a mile :( and after that mile im dead. i get shin splits and my calves hurt.

[Brego]

You're a stud Brego, why the long runs, trying to copy mwah :D.


yes you are my idol. I never jogged in my life until I found out you did :D

[sword chucks]

Nice jog! Thats gonna burn the fat right off, all of that hip and butt fat you can say good bye to!

[Heisman2]

I don't think I could jog 3 miles in 97 degree heat. Did you drink water during it?

[waitlifter82]

the guys who died from taking it must've taken a **** load.

+ dehyrated + malnourished + out of shape + sensitive to it

[Brego]

I don't think I could jog 3 miles in 97 degree heat. Did you drink water during it?

no

[sword chucks]

you really should bring a bottle of water with you when jogging. Dont you get dehydrated?

[waitlifter82]

you really should bring a bottle of water with you when jogging. Dont you get dehydrated?

3 miles is probobly the utmost max of not doing so

[Brego]

did my 3 mile jog again today around 11... thought it would be cooler but the thermometer read 96 degrees.


I never bring water with me, never have. My dad does the run too at age 57 and has never brought water.

[heavylifter954]

if i ran 3 miles i would need a ****load of water or gatorade

[Brego]

thanks fellas.

[BRADP3]

thanks fellas.
I think you undersetimate the weights you should be using, are you supposed to get 8 reps? I would go damn heavy the first set, then drop the weight but I dont know how this program works :D

[Brego]

I forgot to do my mother f-ckin cardio!!!

[Brego]

I think you undersetimate the weights you should be using, are you supposed to get 8 reps? I would go damn heavy the first set, then drop the weight but I dont know how this program works :D


yep this week I am supposed to get 8 reps... however I don't know if im supposed to go heavy at first and keep dropping the weight... the program really doesn't explain it.

In all honesty, I am going to finish this program but don't plan on doing it again.... just not my thing.


PS

I weighed 173 today. I've only lost 9 lbs all summer. This cut has been a f-cking joke. I should stop... this is pointless

[BRADP3]

I forgot to do my mother f-ckin cardio!!!
Haha, step outside right now Brego, on the street, pick two cars, sprint to it jog backx10, go

back to Max-OT? maybe some westside?

[Brego]

back to Max-OT? maybe some westside?

isn't westside just bench squat and deadlift?

ill **** on westside

[BRADP3]

isn't westside just bench squat and deadlift?

ill **** on westside
Yeah, but then you could throw a misc. day in, be creative :D. Max-OT is the best anyway

[Jesin]

At least you're still losing bro...dont give up. Im not stopping til next spring. I WILL be cut for next summer. Although, I still got more to lose than you, but dont give up bro, keep going, the last lil bit its the hardest to lose. Plus, you can motivate me when I say Im gonna stop cos I cant lose the last lil bit ;)

[JAGERBOY]

PS

I weighed 173 today. I've only lost 9 lbs all summer. This cut has been a f-cking joke. I should stop... this is pointless

Wow, Ive lost about 25-30lbs. Heaviest I weighed 196...today I weighed 169. :o But Im also dehydrated and didnt eat much yesterday, will probably be back up to 171 tommorow

[sword chucks]

I think a 9-pounds loss is pretty good, summers only been on for about 10 weeks, so thats like 1 pound a week lost. Thats what most bodybuilders shoot for (except me cause im a fat-ass)

[timothycrtr]

keep it up

[waitlifter82]

The quit cutting. Brego, God made you to be a bulky sexual beast :D

[BRADP3]

IMO, you need a heavy dosage of 6000 cals and Max-OT

[waitlifter82]

The quit cutting. Brego, God made you to be a bulky sexual beast :D

^^^ Well, the first sentence at least:)

[Brego]

why would i quit cutting? i dont have a 6 pack... im not even close.

[AJ010]

Maybe you need to re-evaluate your diet and cardio dude...i dunno.

[Brego]

Plan of action: Taking 2 weeks off from cutting.

Eating what I want, when I want.

Still lifting and running

Will continue the cut in 2 weeks once school starts back

[scott_donald]

Great workout somehow... huge bench PR out of nowhere. This has really helped my motivation...

nice! dont you love that when it just comes out of nowhere like that? :)

[heavylifter954]

your bench owns mine by 10 reps :(

[scott_donald]

great work brego...

strong repping at that weight... just ready for the 225lbs bench test...

[Brego]

thankee for the replies all...

and yes, I do love out of hte blue PRs. I guess I just needed to get my mind straight over the weekend or something

[sword chucks]

sweet workout man, that must feel good :)

the new plan is probably a very good idea for you, after my cut last year, I trained 1-2x a week and ate as much peanut butter i wanted right out of the jar, for 2 weeks straight, because i was all depressed as a result of decreased test and other such things, well wouldnt you know, the week after that i didnt even experience any fat gain :D so its all good. The moral is, you have to eat PB straight out of the jar to be truly happy.

[j_neatherlin]

great bench PR!

LMAO!!!!

Sorry for the late post, but great benching..... I've never even benched more then 225 before...awesome

[Jorday]

Great job man on the benching man. I bet you could get 300 for a single if you can rep 225 that many times.

[Jesin]

Nice PR and workout bro

[waitlifter82]

You still working out, steve??

[Brego]

MONDAY 8-15-05 -- CARDIO

Well I'm back down at school now, and the school gym is still in summer hours. It closes too soon for me to workout this week because I am still working. I will be doing cardio all week.

[k9lowe]

You doing cardio around Ritter Park? I used to live right there. Loved that place. Anyway work has kept me away and I will be hiting my journal again, feel free to shoot over and check it out. I believe I am going to start the MAX-OT again. I should be in the states in a few. I have read your last couple of pages of your journal, don't get down man, hell a six pack isn't everything and if someone doesn't like the bulk, just beat their a$$, like I always say FOREVER BULKING...screw cutting. Keep your head up, head to the UNION for some beverage and GO HERD. Later Bro.

[waitlifter82]

Way to ease into in Bregs.... but you need more sets on flat bench, IMO (only 1 working set?)

Oh, and I only have 3 classes this year:p But I can bet money that I'll have far more work then you :(

yeah i know... but i was hungover and didn't really want to be there... mwahahah

[Brego]

Update:

I am switching to a narrower grip for bench pressing... shoulder width grip. I watched Paul Sr. from American Chopper bench 405 pretty easily and he used a narrow grip.

My triceps are pretty strong so I think it may boost my bench once I get used to it.

[JAGERBOY]

I use a pretty narrow grip, more comfortable...

[sword chucks]

i like wide grip bench better

[Jesin]

Nice workout Brego

[waitlifter82]

I use a pretty narrow grip, more comfortable...

me too.... easier on the rc

[BRADP3]

I dont bench, but on incline I go shoulder width and on hammer strength incline I go even narrower

[j_neatherlin]

not bad ;)

Are you doing deads on back day?

[Jesin]

Very nice leg day

[MXdawg2]

Looks good. Are you going lighter on squats to work on form and proper depth?

[j_neatherlin]

nice squatters. why did you choose to do DB lunges over BB?

[Brego]

not bad after a week off..... I hope this is the last time I see you go this low on squats:mad:

Are you doing deads on back day?

what's wrong with going that low?

yeah i'll be doing some light deads...

[TakenbyTwelve]

[Brego]

Looks good. Are you going lighter on squats to work on form and proper depth?

that and my leg strength blows and always has

[Brego]

nice squatters. why did you choose to do DB lunges over BB?

the squats sucked and you know it...

I'm not sure why i chose DB... never liked BB lunges though

[ffloyd]

the squats sucked and you know it...

DO you try squats both rear and front?

I think 315 Lbs is great personally. Hope to get there some day.

[JAGERBOY]

I must do something wrong with box squats, 225 is hard for me.

[waitlifter82]

I must do something wrong with box squats, 225 is hard for me.

probobly the height.

Brego, what do you use for your 'box'? An actual box, bench, etc.?

[waitlifter82]

the squats sucked and you know it...

I'm not sure why i chose DB... never liked BB lunges though

I like db too.... hits the abs/obliques more, IMO

[JAGERBOY]

We'll see what I get tommorow.

[sword chucks]

good workout Brego, squats look heavy to me

[Brego]

hi brego!

[Heisman2]

It sucks that you were jumped. How many people were there?

[Brego]

It sucks that you were jumped. How many people were there?

three

[BRADP3]

three
And you took it like a bitch, come on brego, pull out the glock next time :D

[AJ010]

Great squat workout man. You touch and go with the box squats or do you pause on the box?

You feelin alright bro?

[ffloyd]

Jumped. that' sucks.

[j_neatherlin]

how's the nose today bro?

[Jesin]

Any reason you got jumped.....should get some boys together and pound'em all if you know who it was man.

[Brego]

nose is better today... i was already congested and having sinus problems, so that is what makes it hard to breath. My lip took the brunt of the blow I can see now.

There will be some sort of payback in the future... I know who one of the guys is....not personally but i know of him...

[sword chucks]

ooh, this is interesting, where did u get jumped?

[heavylifter954]

getting jumped deff sucks...last time i couldnt work out for 4 days....but the mother****ers got it back twice as bad....if you know who it is beat the **** out of himand just leave him there...works every time...

[j_neatherlin]

deload looks good.

did the nose bother you while training? did you ever end up blowing your nose?

[hepennypacker52]

Nice deload.

[LiL USMC BBer]

Firstly I would find out who jumped you.. and well... nicest way possible... kill 'em. :-D


Anyway.. nice shoulder day. I don't really like DB Shrugs the DB's always manage to pull down on my pants.

[BRADP3]

Brego, you're slacking lately

[Brego]

Why are you even posting this journal?


well **** you man... i won't post it anymore... hell.. saves me 20 minutes a day

and read your journal... anytime you're in town and wanna go, let me know.

[Brego]

Brego, you're slacking lately

it's called a deload you f-cking degenerate.

[JAGERBOY]

well **** you man... i won't post it anymore... hell.. saves me 20 minutes a day

Whatver kid.

[ffloyd]

it's called a deload...

Q: What benefit is there to a deload?

[BRADP3]

it's called a deload you f-cking degenerate.
Deload? More like a womanload...........that didnt work

[BRADP3]

I think Brego needs a heavy dose of MAX-OT :D

[JAGERBOY]

Deload? More like a womanload...........that didnt work
LMAO! :D

Brego deloads every 3 weeks. :o

[Brego]

I don't deload every 3 weeks.

My training has been a joke the past month and I took a week off and didn't want to jump right back into it with heavy weights. I like to be able to move the next day.... even though my quads are destroyed

[BRADP3]

max-ot is your friend Bregs

[Brego]

I think Brego needs a heavy dose of MAX-OT :D

I did max-ot, i liked it.. will get back into it eventually.

[BRADP3]

I did max-ot, i liked it.. will get back into it eventually.
Looking through your journal its when you made the most gains IMO, why not start after the deload. Or you can do DFHT with wait, you guys can be like twins

[Brego]

Q: What benefit is there to a deload?



well, it's good after you've trained for a couple weeks and don't wanna take a week off.. gives muscles a break.

i did it cause I took last week off and didn't wanna kill myself coming back

[Brego]

Looking through your journal its when you made the most gains IMO, why not start after the deload. Or you can do DFHT with wait, you guys can be like twins


I'll do something... not even sure what DFHT is about.

I'm done with the journal though. Jager says I should stop posting and what Jager wants Jager gets!

But the question I asked him still stands:

Jager, if you saw your ass right next to a hole in the ground, would you know the difference?

[sword chucks]

hey brego you need to learn how to de load properly

youre not supposed to train like a woman, youre supposed to train just as hard, but just do like 1-2 sets per exercise and do less exercises too. so you could have done 2x10 on DB presses, 1x10 on laterals and 1x10 on shrugs to failure or 1-2 reps shy

[BRADP3]

It's true brego, you are training like a woman, this is for your own good buddy :D

[sword chucks]

yeah I used the words of brad on that btw :D

Dual Factor Hypertrophy Training
Hit everything twice a week, workout 4 days a week, max on some **** from time to time, its a pretty sound program, Id check it out, get more details from wait.

Your question towards Jager makes no sense to me......but I never graduated HS :D

If you stop this journal you're officially a bitch

[BRADP3]

Oh hahahaha, I just got it, took a minute.........bad joke.........subtle..........but bad..........I laugh at everything

Who cares what Jager thinks? He goes to community college. j/k :D

DFHT or Max-Ot sounds like a good idea though.

[BRADP3]

Who cares what Jager thinks? He goes to community college. j/k :D

.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.............. Jesus MX, I almost fell out of my chair, im laughing so hard, its hard to type, hahaha BURN!!!

[JAGERBOY]

Who cares what Jager thinks? He goes to community college. j/k :D

.

:D

I still dont get the question.

[AJ010]

There is actually a benefit to somewhat deloading every 4th week. It depends though.

[BRADP3]

:D

I still dont get the question.
It took me a while to get it to Jager, you'll get it, try not to overanalyze it, underanalyze it, all of the sudden you'll just think....oh, thats dumb :D

[waitlifter82]

There is actually a benefit to somewhat deloading every 4th week. It depends though.

yup, like the program I'll be doing in ~8 weeks

Take at a look at this modified DFHT program to get the idea (notice 2 types of rep ranges and the periodization)

[JAGERBOY]

It took me a while to get it to Jager, you'll get it, try not to overanalyze it, underanalyze it, all of the sudden you'll just think....oh, thats dumb :D
Yo, just tell me, I cant figure it out. :mad:

[BRADP3]

ass+hole=*******+jager=jagers an *******

Told you it was dumb

[JAGERBOY]

Wow.

[BRADP3]

Wow.
Told Ya

[Brego]

ass+hole=*******+jager=jagers an *******

Told you it was dumb

that's not what it means... what is wrong with you guys?

It means he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground...this was a response to a conversation we had over a PM. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

it wasn't even a joke... ?

[BRADP3]

Oh.........

[Brego]

Well, you don't know what you're talking about.

You say I never respond to anyone and "act like a dick in general" ?

Then why do people post in this journal? Because I post in theirs.

Do I respond to every "good workout today man" post? nope

but oh well... this whole thing is just getting silly

[JAGERBOY]

I asked you two direct questions...one you couldnt be bothered to give me a good answer...the other you just ignored. So I asked, why even post if you arent going to answer questions? ITs pointless. If all I wanted to do was keep track of my workouts Id do it in a note pad. I post here for encouregment, advice and conversation.

[AJ010]

Jager, would you like him to get up and get on the scale and weigh himself to please you? Chill out bro, he said he doesn't know. If he feels like weighing himself, he will.

-Steel

[Brego]

You weigh 172 still? How hard were the DB militaries?


Dear JAGERBOY,
How are you? How is the lifting going. Pretty good here. Just back after a week off. School is going well too. There are some hot biatches that sit around me in one of my classes.

As to your question, I am not sure what I weigh right now. Last time I weighed myself I was at 172. I have not weighed myself lately so therefore I simply cannot tell you what I weigh. Perhaps I can go around to all the people in my apartment complex and ask them if they have a scale I can use.

As to your second, and extremely important question, the DB militaries were quite easy actually. I could have even used more weight, but I was slacking that particular span of minutes, and stayed with the 60s. Next week I can assure you that I will use heavier weight!

I hope these answers have enlightened you. I truly respect your opinion and without your friendship on these forums, I am not sure I could make it in the real world.

Yours Truly,
Brego

P.S. - Write back soon! Maybe we can be pin pals!

[JAGERBOY]

Usually people that are cutting know a general weight they are, Im sure he was just being a dick and wanted to act like he was mad that he got his ass whooped. I know I weigh between 160-165 right now... he could have had an estimate.
