What do you mean bro? You saying I won't get stronger or bigger with this? I have 3 strength training days. chest, back/shoulders, legs. The other 2 days are for plyometrics and speed. I've never seen a bodybuilder do plyometrics...

Also the school i'm going to is still undecided. I'd like to go to truman state..not too big, not too small. I'm in it for the fun, and maybe scholarships. thx 4 stopping by!

[07hudson]

Planned on doing plyo's today but I worked at 10 hour day. So by the time I got off didn't feel like going to the courts and turning the lights on. I don't work until 5 tommorow so I'll do them then.

Diet - Once again couldn't keep track of calories or carbs but ate like a pig today!! Also I weighed myself on our crappy home scale and it read 174. That's about 2lbs up if it's correct. So we'll see at the gym.

Thoughts
1.) Feeling bigger, noticing considerable size difference everywhere but especially in my quads and calves.
2.) Still worried about my speed...and the effect the amount of weight I've put on will have. I'm timing my 40 next weekend. So from there I'll decide if I want to slow down on the weight gain...if I can(test.)
3.) Ordered my second cans of stak and test and 10 more lbs of 100% gold whey. Man is it expensive to be an animal.
4.) Can't wait to hit the gym next week!!!!!!

I'm taking Animal Packs already with Protein/Creatine/and Glutamine, and am ready to try something else to increase gains. Which Animal 'pack' would you recommend first? Stack, M Stack, Test? Just curious. Thanks. Keep up the good work, and best of luck.

It just depends on what you want. A lot of people will just strait hit up a cycle of stak and then run a cycle of M Stack. These see pretty good gains. The M stak helps keep you from losing the gains from your previous cycle I hear; It also makes you eat like a horse ensuring you get all the nutrition you need. Test is an all around great product; I have yet to hear anything bad about it..honestly. Many people see fast weight and strength gains for this. I think the most aggressive stack you can do from the animal line is the "testosterone explosion stack." That's what I'm doing. I definately don't need it being 20 but I'm short on time. I've gained about 10lbs the past 2 weeks and I still have my abs. You take test for the recommended 42 days along with stak for those same 42 days. Then you follow it up with a cycle of M' Stak. I'm only 2 weeks in man loving it. Thanks for stopping by. Good luck!!

Sounds good. I ordered the Stak today. 21 days and I'll probably give the M-Stack a shot. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work.

[07hudson]

Today I did plyo's b/c I wasn't able to due to work yesterday. I did them after work. It was dark and still a little wet so I did them under a pavilion by the tennis courts in a bunch of bird crap. Plyo's was good...

Bounds - 3x25yards
Skips - 2x25yards
frog jumps - 1x25 yards
tuck jumps - 3x10
box jumps - 2x10

Ladder drills
1.) 2 feet in every square x 2
2.) side to side x 2
3.) 1 foot in every square x 1

Looking back that is a pretty intense workout by itself...should of stopped there but no.. I'm an idiot. Saw a thread on car pushing so I decided to finish up with that. I pushed my 4 door taurus twice about 25 yards. After doing plyos...it about killed me lol. Now I know. I'm still recooperating from it. That is some intense stuff.

Diet-Didn't feel so good today-guesstimate that I ate maybe around 2500to3000.

Thoughts
1.) Should of done car pushes another time. Do not experiment aaron. Bad dog.
2.) Hopefully I didn't ruin my workout with the car.
3.) Dissapointed I didn't really have an appetite all day.
4.) blah..taking a bath

[Fitzwell]

Haha, car pushes, you beast! I am really liking the log, I am actually going to start up plyos 2x per week with my HIIT workouts, I really need to get back into my basketball shape. I think you won't have a hard time keeping your speed while gaining size with this stack. Just keep up on those plyos and I think you will be good man!

Haha. Plyo's are great man. They'd be awesome mixed in with strength training if you play ball. I was actually in a league last year. And ya on the speed ladder I really surprised myself..maybe my 40 won't be so bad after all. Thanks man!!!

[07hudson]

Off today, Just getting prepared for the 40 this coming weekend. Nervous!!!
That's all, sry for the lazy post. Tired

I think the point he is trying to make is that for an athlete your not getting any rest in that split and because of this you are going to limit your strength, speed and explosiveness gains over time.

You want to make sure your body is getting enough rest for the CNS to recover. The exercises that recruit the most motor units like Sprints, Plyometrics, Cleans, Squats and Deads, require at least 48 hours rest before performing any of them again so that the body can supercompensate and be ready to go again so you can work at getting faster and stronger.

When football season comes around you are going to be drilling your body into the ground every day without any real rest for about 4 months, so why put your body through that in the other months of the year when you could be spending it maximizing your speed and strength gains then working on conditioning during the summer.

Defrancos Westside for Skinny Bastards 3 is a great program for any football player who doesn't have any specific weaknesses. Check it out at least just to get some idea's on how to structure things.

[07hudson]

As I said before I've flipped my schedule around so today was plyometrics day.

1.) Started off with 5 40yard sprints. Different variations. 2 up hill, 2 down hill, 1 starting down hill but finishing uphill.
2.) Worked on start of my sprint-a couple of 10 yard dashes
3.) Lateral cone hops - 2x10jumps
4.) Bounding - 2x25 yards
5.) Skips - 2x25 yards
6.) Box Jumps - 2x10 jumps
7.) Jump Tucks - 1x15 jumps
8.) Step ups - 1x15 continuous

Abs

1.) hanging leg lifts-2x15
2.) lying weighted leg lifts-3x10
3.) flutter kicks-2x25
4.) Weighted crunches-2x10

Good day overall. All the plyos were done with my jumpsoles.

Diet...so far. I will list them in no order. Because I do not eat organized meals such as breakfast, lunch, dinner.

-Whole Wheat bagel with butter and jelly
-2 cups of whole milk
-Ida red apple
-Protein shake with 1 cup of milk
-1 cup of milk
-2 cups of red beans and rice
-shake
-cup of yogurt
-can of overstuffed chef boyardee MMMM

I may have had a few more snacks. Right now I'm sitting around 3000 calories. I will cram as much as I can and try to get to 4000 before bed. I should make it

Tomorrow is Chest/arm day. Looking forward to it. Thanks for following!!

Lol, I will tell you where the meat is, not in my house!!! I live with my gf and her mom so they are always having chick food, light pastas, fruit salad, just a bunch of calorie free crap. To be honest with you...I cannot stand not having meat in my diet!!! Lol, I also didn't work, I'll usually have a steak or chicken sandwich at work. The ground beef in rice sounds like a good idea

Thoughts
1.) Got up early and just focused on eating all day, bloated now but was never too full!!!
2.) Workout today was friggin weird, I know. All the machines etc were taken so I had to go ahead and do skull crushers...another noobesh move by me. So after that I had to go light on everything b/c my tri's wanted to give out. Also the olympic sized bars are different and a little off so I was confused with my bench today. So I've picked out a bar and I'm sticking w/ the same one, I'll assess myself next week for strength gains.
3.) Weighed 173.5 today at the gym. That's another pound.
4.) Disappointed with my wierd workout today, was expecting more and the whole bar situation threw me off.
5.) Going to take some glutamine and hit the sack.

[07hudson]

Decided to go ahead and post today because had an awesome day in the gym.


1.) Deadlifts 225x8
315x6
335x4
365x2
405x1 (Could of done more!!!!)
2.) Hang snatch 135x5
155x5
135x6 (Went light after deads, also really focused being explosive)
3.) Hyperextensions 2x10 with 14lb ball

*****Back was feeling pretty tight after this so I decided to call it a day. Feeling good now though so I might do some plyo jumps in a little bit.*****



-Diet-On track, will prob hit another 4000 day.

-Weight-177.5!!!! That's about a 4lb increase since tuesday!! That 5100cal day kicked my but lol, prob killed my 40 I'm timing this weekend.



LOVING THE ANIMAL PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[07hudson]

Plyometrics

1.) Jump tucks - 2x15
2.) Box Jumps - 2x10
3.) Lunges - 2x10 (done with back leg lifted)
4.) Rapid Stepups - 2x20
5.) 5 20yard sprints - (worked on form)
6.) One 70yard uphill sprint

All were done with my jumpsoles, sprints were...interesting.



Diet Cont -
Dinner had to chicken breast with a large bowl of rice, after that I had a piece of cake. So diet is still going good.



+Thoughts+
1.) Heard a guy talking about taking test with your preworkout meal and then stak at night right before bed because sleeping is when you recover the most. Sounds like a good Idea so I'm going to start taking stak like this.
2.) Glutes are still sore from the sprints monday. Need to do atleast a few sprints with every plyo workout.
3.) Deadlifted like a beast today!!! Or atleast I thought so..
4.) Don't know if I'll get to time my 40 this weekend, b/c the guy who was going to do it is going to talladega...thx man! Might be able to steal my old football coach out of school. But I want to do it before my leg workout friday.
5.) Going to try and get to sleep early 2nite, want to have a good shoulder/lat workout tomorrow.
6.) Can't believe I gained 4lbs since tuesday, I'll prob tone it down a notch, atleast until I time my 40 yard dash to see where I'm at. Nervous!!

[Fitzwell]

Keep it up bro! Those numbers are looking awesome! Don't you just love how easy that weight is getting to put up. I noticed my deads and rack lifts improving the most out of any other lift also. Keep working hard, and those last couple days of diet are what I am talking about! At your body fat % and with the amount of calories you burn, you really don't need to worry so much about stuff like the double cheese burger, just as long as you are getting those cals and protein

I know man!! I think you see such improvements in dead b/c it is also kinda a full body lift even though it mainly works your back. And ya I've gained a good bit of weight but I still have a pretty good set of abs, my gf says the weight is going strait to my ass though lol. Says I'm starting to get a mini bootyshelf.

Diet - Don't really know about my diet, sure I got plenty of nutrition in today but I didn't want to gain another 4lbs before I time my 40 tomorrow. Had a 18 ounce T'bone for Dinner. Delicious


Thoughts
1.) Timing my 40 tomorrow!!!!!
2.) Getting hot, will have to start doing my plyos in the evening. My bro about had a heat stroke today after he did a couple of car pushes. We had to wait by the ER for a while to make sure he was ok.
3.) Looking bigger, definately looking bigger. Jeans are fitting tighter, shirts are fitting tighter. It's going great.
4.) Calves haven't made much progress though, will really hit them tomorrow in the gym after I time my 40.


~ Looking at Truman state in Kirksville Missouri, supposed to be probably around the 2nd best school in Missouri. With a shotty economy I wanna play it safe, still keeping my options open though ~

[07hudson]

Before I tell you my 40 time let me explain to you why I am satisfied with it.

1.) i've gained 13lbs lol.
2.) i've only done about 2 weeks of plyos
3.) I've always played faster than my forty, in highschool I was usually the fastest guy on the field.

Alright enough of that, Not making excuses but my forty yard dash time was 4.7 exact 3 times in a row. So, I could make the team with this but it needs to be lower. But I'm satisfied seeings how I've gained weight and i have plenty of plyometrics to do. Along with plyos I believe I can easily shed this down to a 4.5 doing my core lifts by the time I'm done with my plyometrics cycle. We will see!!!

-Have been busy busy busy, working all close shifts so it's been hard for me to get to a computer. Diet has been good, i've tried to eat pretty steadily today because I've realized I burn quite a few calories running around at our restaurant.




Loving the progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[07hudson]

Off today, but I hate it!!!!! I wanna lift!!!! But my intuition tells me no so I will take it easy.

Thoughts
1.) Might time my 40 again this weekend. Hoping for a 4.6 after the plyos this week. And eventually a 4.5 by the end of next month.
2.) Bought some proprioceptors for my jumpsoles. Supposed to really help with that first step.
http://www.hoopsvibe.com/apparel-acc...jumpsoles2.jpg
3.) Going to try to keep my weight under 180lbs. Being bigger would be nice but my first priority is speed to make sure I'm seen as a prospect.

[07hudson]

I have shotty satelite internet so I will post monday and tuesday.

Plyometrics - w/ proprioceptors on easiest level

1.) Balance on each leg - 3x
2.) Rock front to back - 3x10
3.) Rock Side to Side - 3x10
4.) Clockwise rotations - 2x10
5.) Squat lunges - 3x10
6.) Tightrope walk - 2x

$$ The proprioceptors really work you ankles and calves $$

7.) Lunge twist w/ med ball - 2x
8.) Lat cone hops - 2x10
9.) Bounding 2x25 yards
10.) Skipping 2x25 yards
11.) Box jumps - 2x10
12.) Jump Tucks - 2x15
13.) Bench Blasts - 2x10

2.) Flutter kicks - 2x50
3.) Med ball situps - 3x10
4.) Bench ??? where you tuck your knees to chest n kik out





Notes
1.) Good workout, calves were still feeling it today.
2.) Had to share the gym with the college volleyball team...needless to say I got some stares from my exercises.
3.) Balancing yourself with the proprioceptors really is challenging, doing the tightrope was my fav. Hope to see good first step improvements with this addition.

[07hudson]

Today I used the bar I picked out for all my barbell lifts, that way what I think I lifted is accurate.

Chest

1.) Bench Press

Diet - Stomach has adjusted and am eating more naturally. For dinner I had a 12oz Kansas City Strip with 1.5 cups of rice followed by a pint of caramel ice cream...lol, that is over 2000cal right there.



Notes
1.) Have kind of platued on chest. Incline feels stronger..but maybe I just feel like I have platued because that faulty bar on my last chest workout threw me off. I think this weekend I might max and see if maybe I need to switch my plan. I'm thinking nebraska.
-----------Advice anyone??? On me leveling out w/ chest? Am I doing too much?????? Or maybe not enough because I only work it once a week?
2.) Calves feel good, the workout from yesterday really worked them.
3.) Biceps are looking huge, I feel like it is too easy to work them, and now my chest needs to catch up.
4.) Weight today was 178.5. Another lb jump!!! Don't know how much these lb increases will affect my 40 time. Regardless, I will be running a 4.5 atleast.
5.) Also, forgot to take animal test today, damnit I did that last tuesday too on my chest day.




******Please leave feedback, I'm needing help with my chest. That's why I went all barbell today.******

[Fitzwell]

Stay strong man, it is easy to lose motivation as you start to get settled into the cycle, but the products should be running full on in you now. With chest, maybe just mix it up for a couple of weeks, take a break from barbell and do some dumbbell presses for a couple workouts. It is great for your core and stabilizer muscles and it will be a nice break from BB. I love DB bench, especially incline.

Thanks man, I built up a tolerance to animal pump. I should've took some plain monohydrate on off days to help avoid it but I wasn't really thinking. So that could be where some of my motivation went. Anyhow I'll prob try a dumbbell workout one day, I've had a friend how suggested it b/c it works more muscles.

[07hudson]

Thoughts
1.) Awesome leg workout, squating was so easy!!!!! Will definately be putting more weight on the bar. Hopefully by the end of this cycle I'll be atleast close to squatting 400
2.) During workout said F$%k front squat. Felt akward and hurt my shoulders. Next week will do a light squat jump for explosiveness.
3.) Gf said I'm developing some thunda thighs lol. The are considerably bigger. They have even grown more than my arms. I have to say all my pants are fitting quite a bit tighter.
4.) Everything seems to be improving...except bench.
