    If you wanna train at the arnold, pick the day and time and i will be there. Its that simple. BTK we family, we roll together, we train together, we kill PR's together. Get with it !

    not to mention we may kill a few chickens or cows after when we hit up a buffet or a steakhouse! Gotta eat to grow!

    Awesome gunz show Manu!

    On a serious note though, Manu, you somewhat jokingly say that you use body english on the BB Curls. Are you a believer in a little body english so long as the weight is moving and you're working the muscle? Not to say that you need to or should compromise your form either.

    Serious Question here.

    How far are the Graters and Jenni's factories/places from the Arnold Expo? I read online they are like within 2 miles? i cannot find any Jenni's ice cream around here and i know they sell at 10$ a pint. I would love to sample their flavors and i know the factory is close...

    Same with some of the graters stuff (the quality is solid, but the mix-ins are lacking as far as variety goes) Just want to sample them intead of buying large pints of say Heath Chocolate Chip haha

    Good stuff man!

    We got a BTK MEET UP IN THE WORKS!

    all this talk about food is making me hungry. still got 3 hours before I eat. i try not eat out as well as most places don't use FRESH ingredients, plus you don't get a good bang for your buck. I'm gonna try an all you can eat sushi this weekend for $20 on co-workers recommendation; I hope its Fresh, good, and a variety of sushi.

    Versa Gripps-they did seem a bit awkward the first time I tried them on SLDL, but after my last set at 325lbs, I was sold on them. I like that i don't have to palm the bar as I did with straps, I can get just as good of a grip with my fingers with no slip. I've also used them on hanging leg raises and they are awesome for that. on dumbells its a hit and miss as some dumbelss have thicker bar to grasp, so I'm still working on that part.

    Thanks bro had a good time over the weekend.

    I agree man I've been enjoying life now and this lifestyle in general.

    Moving to this town made alot of things better for me

    Also 205 means you curl your own bodyweight for reps; actually slightly heavier than you

    How are you? Training? Progress?
    Pretty good. Been at a surplus, I'm stronger than 3 months ago, faster too. Not bigger though. If anything I think I look softer. Not sure what the heck my partitioning must SUCK. I'll be staying the course for at least another 3 months and see what's up. Heck, a high volume approach may be what is needed.

    A source I trust did mention that my BF was not as low as I had thought, more like 16%. This may be causing my partitioning to suck, Lyle kinda wrote about this.

    Anyway, I'm in too deep to quit. So I'll find a way.

    I see you aren't having any problems though:-D

    Layne Norton: I've never added more than 12 lbs of muscle in a year and most years it was closer to 5 or less. But when you maintain that for over 10 years and you don't miss workouts, it's amazing what can happen

    I havent been updated on the BTK gear just yet. Have been so busy with work.

    Logo winner will be announced Jan 31!

    Gunz are probably 20+ inches when pumped. I think cold they are like 19 or 19.5 inches. I havent really measured. I just try to make everything big, huge, and cut! Ha!

    On a serious note though, Manu, you somewhat jokingly say that you use body english on the BB Curls. Are you a believer in a little body english so long as the weight is moving and you're working the muscle? Not to say that you need to or should compromise your form either.
    With years of experience, I think it is acceptable to use body english on SOME movements. A lot of it is innate and instinctive. Thats why I say years of experience - years of consistent training then start playing games with manipulating exercises.

    Keep training hard!

    Versa Gripps-they did seem a bit awkward the first time I tried them on SLDL, but after my last set at 325lbs, I was sold on them. I like that i don't have to palm the bar as I did with straps, I can get just as good of a grip with my fingers with no slip. I've also used them on hanging leg raises and they are awesome for that. on dumbells its a hit and miss as some dumbelss have thicker bar to grasp, so I'm still working on that part.
    Sushi FTW! I love to throw down sushi 2-3x/week. So so damn good.

    Hope all is well, man!

    I agree man I've been enjoying life now and this lifestyle in general.

    Moving to this town made alot of things better for me

    Also 205 means you curl your own bodyweight for reps; actually slightly heavier than you
    Hahha! I actually didnt think about that - basically curling my own BW. I'll take that, man!

    "TRY? I DONT TRY.

    I NEVER TRY AT ANYTHING.

    I. JUST. FUKING. DO. IT.

    PERIOD.
    " - Me




    01/24/13.

    Up at 3:45am. Little later today...Slept in! Weighed in at 205.7lbs.....YES SIRRR!

    Still..........Manu O'Clock. Sleeeeeeep when I die.


    Quadz......Calves..............ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!. .......



    Downed the Folgers (4.0256 gulps) and out the door.


    HELL RAISER....


    QUADS

    1.) HACK SQUATS - PRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I did 460bs (4 plates and change on each side) /FOUR sets/ and 7-9 reps for these. Tense and squeeeeeeeeeeeze those quads at the top of the movement! Braaaaang it!!!

    Deeeeeeeeeeeeeep ASS squats.

    2.) LEG PRESS - Did FOUR sets of 12-14 reps using 720lbs. Full contraction here. No half ass...3inch....reps!!!!!!!!!!! Increase in reps.

    3.) LUNGES (Barbell) - PRRR! I did 4 sets of 12-13 reps with 155 lbs. Biiiig strides! Increase in reps.

    4.) FRONT SQUATS - FOURTH EXERCISE. NOTED. Used a BB and 295lbs. Did 3 sets and 8-10 reps. Quads are fried!


    Again. Deeeeeeeeeeeeep. Ass. Squats. Dont get it twisted. Increase in reps here too!


    5.) LEG EXTENSIONS- MFB-8 - YA KNOW IT! Huh...huh....huh..... So 7 sets/10 reps/150lbs with 30sec rest between sets. Crazy burn at this point. THEN..

    Increased weight to 180lbs and hammered out another 7 reps. Increased the reps here

    NOTE: I hold the contracted position for a count of two on these. Seven sets then increasing the weight on the 8th set - all the while following the two second hold. Try it...

    Dont try this. PAIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!

    I love pain though. I live for it. SUFFER. A little updated quads shot from yesterday...
























    BOOOOM!

    You know what's next.............now we really train, eh?

    RUTHLESS SHYT...............SIXTH EXERCISE.....after 20+ sets for quads...Who next??


    End up in the emergeny room.....


    6.) CONVENTIONAL DEADLIFTS - SIXTH. DAMN. EXERCISE. So normally I do around 505lbs for this exercise and 2 sets. Usually get between 3-5 reps.

    [B]

    So I decided to start this week at 465lbs for DLs. First set got 10 reps. Second set got 9 reps. Third set got 7 reps.

    Moneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.


    BAAAAAAAAAM! DONE. Done? Wait? Wuuuuuuuuuut????



    CALVES

    7.) SEATED CALF RAISES - 135lbs. Five sets and 25 reps/set.

    8.) STANDING DONKEY RAISES - 220lbs. Five sets and 25 reps/set.


    NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....We go home!.....

    Wut?

    SHUT YOUR MOUTH.


    9.) STAIRMASTER - 30minutes. Thats my dessert. This is what ends up separating physiques.


    Cell Phone Pic...Will add to Manu's Cell Phone Pic Collection...lol......



    Just chillin


    Diet: Will hit around 5,000cals for sure...500-600g CHO...been really good with my diet last couple weeks!

    Im off to Miami this evening then Bahamas for 4 days! Dont be jelly Will be back logging next wed (Jan 30). Until then....KEEP TEARING SHYT UP!

    Quad sweep looks bigger Manu, and the Striations are icing on the cake

    Did someone say cake?

    Yes in the BTK we have that and eat it too


    If you wanna train at the arnold and grab a bite of dinner+ice cream, you know i am down Manu,

    Keep in touch and we will make it work, but i know your work schedule and its insane, are you having any photoshoots or meetings at the Arnold? I know you are a business guy by nature and i have no idea what your schedule looks like.

    Lets try and plan something.

    KEEP KILLING IT.
