Juggernaut in the Making(Brian/corcorbc)

[kmmaupin]

Good Luck buddy!

[corcorbc]

Hella awesome workout Bri! Dude, high rep deads are just brutal. I did deads today. Had my 3 heavier sets, then 5 sets of 10. OMG, wanted to puke. Hella hard. Great, great job!

They are but between my calorie cutback and the desert heat I wasn't able to put in as much work as I intended. Love that wanna puke feeling!

Great work Brian, don't melt in that desert heat man! Keep pushing strong finish line is in eye sight!

I'm trying not to, I feel it sucking the life outta me, but 30 minutes before gym time I got my Rasp Lemonade Jugg and I'm good to go. Thanks for your continued support even though I haven't managed to get by yours in a while!

You are definitely a Juggernaut Brian! Getting the work in and staying focused!

Thanks for all of your support John!

I saw this coming. This Saturday, the winners will be revealed. I still have to wait for round 2; the Arnold Classic =-)

Waiting and anticipation is the best part.

wow man murdered the weight eh!!!! keep killin it!!! log is lookin awesome as well!!!

Trying to man! thanks for your support

I have to tell you, most of the time the bed wins for me too. I love my sleep. Glad to see JUGGERNAUT is keeping you strong and healthy. I miss denny's I have not had denny's in years. Eat some pancakes for me would ya? How many days do you have left?

Yeah I'm struggling right now, need more sleep, but owe every ones logs some love. Negative on the pancakes though, only eat them at home when I can make them myself, who knows what they put in em at dennys lol. By my count since I just made the sign up cutoff the 23rd would be my official last day, but the 26th if you count when I started taking juggernaut.

Hey late to the game but wanted to wish you luck in the upcoming judging. Way to finish.

Better late than never, thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Hey Brian - just stopping by to wish you luck in the judging and the big announcement tomorrow. I know I will be on pins and needles until they announce the winner - I hope they do it first thing in the morning!

Same here Bill, good luck man!

Good luck man!!!!

Thanks Bro

Ha ha ha, I gotta compete with the boys at the dinner table. I can't imagine what it's going to be like when they're teens.

I officially have like 2 weeks left to finish out my log. But Priorities have changed, gonna start bulking a little early to try and get ahead of whatever the trainers got in store for me next Friday when I get home.

[MrSimpson]

Sick leg workout Brian and some nice numbers on the squats you're flirting with 3 plates a side good sir!!

Great Jello leg workout! And you always have the best dinners posted! Steak and shrimp, man I am drooling. Good luck on your final 10 days

Contributing to the forums on my phone is a huge PITA. I wanted to get an update in, work, weather, and the 2 hrs I spend driving to and from work has left little time in the day to get to the gym. So I'm taking some unplanned time off until I get home Friday.

Tomorrow after work I'm heading to Vegas for an overnight stay before I fly home. Looking forward to getting home to spend some much needed time with my wife and kiddos.

Friday I'm meeting up with my trainer to see what the game plan is.

Brian sad to see you never got on to finish up here man you had a great log going. Believe me I know things can come up and take you away from posting, but hope to see an update from you let us know how things are (I think you may have actually melted in that desert heat!)

Have a good one JUGGERNAUT STRONG!!

************************JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT******************

*****FLESH NEWS****18 REASONS WHY JUGGERNAUT HP( PRE-WORKOUT DRINK) IS MORE ADVANCED AND EFFECTIVE THEN ANY OTHER PRE-WORK OUT DRINK OUT THERE......DON'T BE FOOLED BY A FANCY NAME OR GIMMICK DRINKS, DO THE RESEARCH, SEE FOR YOUR SELF, EXPERIENCE THE GAINS.....



** Agmatine & The Athlete **

Agmatine is a pain fighter. This can be beneficial to the athlete in two ways:
It can potentiate the effects of analgesics used during recuperation from injury.
It has the potential to aid post-workout recovery.

Agmatine enhances insulin production leading to better insulin response. This allows for positive effects in attaining body composition goals. Better insulin response means a harder and leaner more muscular body.

Agmatine acts on various hypothalamic and pituitary peptide hormones such as LH and GH. These will have subsequent effects on other hormones like IGF-1. Control of the hormonal environment of the athlete and you will perform better, look better and feel better.

Agmatine possesses anxiolytic (relieves anxiety) and antidepressant properties offering potential control of cortisol levels in the stressful life of the athlete.

Agmatine modulates nitric oxide (NO) through different ways. It stimulates some types of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) while inhibiting others. This is essential to the proper functioning of the polyamine biosynthetic pathways.

Agmatine acts on catecholamine (Epinephrine > Norepinephrine > Dopamine) release. These endogenous compounds are part of nearly every action in the body. Most notably for the athlete is the role that this compound would ultimately have in both energy production and aiding anticipation of the stress afforded by competition. However, there are also well-established roles that epinephrine can have on the body that includes:

Increasing endurance
Enhancing performance
Decreasing body fat

Agmatine has an antioxidant role. There can be no greater source of free-radical build up than that seen in the day-to-day activity of the athlete. The sheer stress that the body takes on when in you're an athlete in the trenches (i.e. - the gym, the field, etc...) could ultimately have significant detrimental effects with continued build up. Agmatine can offer protection from the undesired effects that free radicals can have on the body.

For the athlete desiring body composition change, Agmatine has an independent role of insulin and testosterone management on lipid (fat) metabolism.

Agmatine possesses nootropic effects (it acts as a "novel" neurotransmitter). This can offer the athlete a potential mental edge to prepare for various events.

Agmatine can aid in kidney function by stimulating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This can bode the bodybuilder well as various nitrogenous waste products are removed through this system.

Agmatine harbors a hypotensive role which could assist the exogenously-enhanced athlete in keeping blood pressure in check.


Agmatine & The Life Extensionist

Agmatine has a neuroprotective role. The life extensionist will likely see this as a positive effect in cases of such chronic diseases as Alzheimer's Dementia. This is thought to originate through a couple of mechanisms, but most notably its prevention of over-excitation by glutamate and its antioxidant roles.

Agmatine can assist in chronic pain management. Sufferers of things such as chronic degenerative diseases that do not get adequate relief from various pharmaceutical analgesic agents may see agmatine as the ideal adjunct to their current treatment.

Agmatine's antioxidant role has significant impact on one of the unifying themes of aging in oxidative stress accumulation and its contribution to the aging individual.

Agmatine may possess a role in cancer prevention via its modulation of all polyamine biosynthetic pathways. This effect may be limited to vascular growths via smooth muscle cell overgrowth. Control of cell growth can be attributed to two different pathways:
A membrane receptor controlled pathway
A pathway dependent on cellular polyamine content

As mentioned earlier, agmatine imparts action on various hypothalamic and pituitary peptide hormones such as LH and GH. Control of the hormonal environment of the anti-aging medicine enthusiast can point rather quickly at the positive effects this can have.

Agmatine can aid in kidney function by stimulating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which can positively impact those suffering from chronic kidney diseases.

Agmatine enhances insulin production leading to better insulin response. As we grow older this impacts glycation. Glycation is the process where sugars attach to blood proteins and results in a complex series of rearrangements and oxidative reactions leading to advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).

It is this complex series of events that agmatine hits at its core and could prove synergistic with other molecules (i.e. - carnosine) in our fight to remain young.

Agmatine's hypotensive role has implications here as our continued assurance of fending off the cardiovascular sequelae that offer the deleterious effects of metabolic derangements such as the virtually epidemic diabetes and obesity run rampant.
