    I will consider Paul keeping my diet the same a good thing. I have never been good at estimating BF%, and even worse at estimating my own. If I had to guess I would say about 9%. Looking to get around 5%-6% for the show. With 3 weeks to go and an extended peak week planned, it seems like a realistic goal.


    2/15/2013
    AM Back, Traps, Abs PM HIIT

    DB row: 50x12 60x12 70x12 80x12
    Deads: 225x9 225x25 (lol wut?)
    Underhand close grip PD: 100x20 115x16 150x12 (3)
    BTB cross cable pull down: 3x20
    -This is really just to simulate a back double bi pose. Also a good finisher with a good squeeze and stretch contraction.

    BB shrug: 135x20 (2) 225x12 (2)
    ss w/
    BTB Smith Shrug: 135x20 (2) 225x12 (2)

    Cable crunch w/ rope: 120x20 (7 sets)


    Cardio: 29/36 mins of HIIT.
    -Got my warm up and intervals done, but 3 mins into my cool down I got chased off the track. Our campus rec closes at 8, and the did not want to stay a minute later than they had to. I will be adding a 5 min cool down to my SS cardio (dropping the LI in front because it has been anything but low intensity as late haha) to make up for this. Arms day followed by SS cardio tomorrow.


    Thoughts: The 25 rep 225 finisher for deads was the highlight of this session. Sometimes I just go into Animal Pak ad mode and grind. Underhand LPD was also a nice addition. Legs are still real sore. Felt like my leg were 10lbs heavier today during intervals. Hoping a good nights rest combined with not having to set an alarm for the first time in a while will do some good. Have a good weekend all.

    Thanks fellas. Glutes are no doubt a little tender, but should be good to go for legs tomorrow!

    I am always down for a DL challenge. Count me in the next one!


    Good arms/cardio session today, but nothing worthy of logging. Got in, got a nice pump, sweated for 25 mins on the stepper, and got out of there.

    Thoughts: Good lift, but after was a different story. Felt a little light headed, real hungry, and overall just exhausted. Feeling much better now, and still hit my macros head on for the day, but lets just say I am very thankful for a carb refeed tomorrow. Going to watch the "I Want to Look Like that Guy" documentary and get some shut eye.

    The basement, the foundation, the wheels... LEGS!



    Squats: 135x12 225x8 275x5 (5 sets) 135x20*immediate drop set after 5th set
    SLDL: 135x10 (5 sets) *slow and controlled
    BB walking lunges: 105x24 (3 sets) 125x20 135x20
    Leg extension: 5 sets of 20

    Calve raise on hack squat: 5 sets of 20
    Seated calve raise: 5 sets of 12
    ss w/
    BW full extension calf raise on weight tree: 5 sets of 12



    Thoughts: Great lift. Planned on doing HIIT but our rec center rented out the track for a youth basketball tournament. Will either be heading back tonight when they clear out, or have to do HIIT on Monday and Tuesday. Got 180/290 carbs (refeed day) in pre training which really fueled me through this one. Mood is much better today compared to yesterday, but I still find that little things that I normally wouldn't think twice about get to me. For instance the fact that Subway has it's "FebruANY" promotion, but you cannot get ANY sub for $5 haha, little **** like that. Video games, movies, (possible HIIT) and 72 carbs to close out my Sunday. Life is good.

    Awesome squatting! That drop set after the 5x5 sounds painful.
    high rep lunges must have been straight torture.
    Excellent work my man, enjoy what's left of the weekend!

    At this point of tolerance, a brew might have me naked on the roof doing the Macarena. Again.

    Just an impromptu "are you doing everything possible?" decision. Soreness is an understatement tonight, especially after HIIT, but regrets? Not even once.


    2/18/2013
    AM Light Shoulders and High rep Chest PM HIIT

    DB military press: 4 sets of 12 (50lbs)
    Seated lateral raises: 4x20 (20lbs)

    Incline DB press: 4 sets of 20 (50lbs)
    Flat DB press: 4 sets of 20 (50lbs)
    Hammer strength decline: 4 sets of 12
    Cable flies: 4 sets of 12

    Cardio: 36 minutes of HIIT.



    Thoughts: Just really was in the mood for a mind/muscle/pump high rep day. I don't see a need to push my shoulders too far (already a strong point, maybe even too strong) so just did some light work with them to get the blood flowing. Cardio went well, leg soreness was there as expected but didn't affect intervals too much. I have also been tracking my water intake for the last week of so. Seem to be right around the 24-25 cup mark give or take. Definitely explains why I seem to be considerably leaner in the morning. Back, traps, abs, and PM HIIT tomorrow.

    Haha not the worst problem to have, but my side tricep tends to look a little awkward. Feelin the high reps today.

    Just have to keep bringing it one day at a time.


    2/19/2013
    Back, Traps, Abs



    Rack pulls/Lockout deads: 135x20 315x15 405x12 495x12 585x10
    Close grip BB row: 1Px20 2Px16 2Px12 3Px10
    Reverse grip LPD: 100x12 (4 sets)
    Cable pullovers: 80x16 (3 sets)
    ss w/
    Cable cross flies: 3 sets of 20

    BB shrugs, BTB Smith shrugs, DB shrugs: 8 sets total

    Cable crunches: 5 sets of 20
    Pilot chair leg raises: 2 sets of 12



    Thoughts: Good one today. Got a little more legs into lockout deads/rack pulls than normal but still moved some weight. Just about everything else was high rep for the purpose of a good contraction. Added some leg raises to my abdominal work to try and target the lower abs. Night class and possible HIIT tonight after, going to see how I feel.


    Finally, a nice picture to put everything into perspective.

    Try setting the pins below your knee cap about a 1/2 inch, and increase your ROM, looks like your moving the weight a matter of 1-2 inches.
    Do you find bouncing the weight off the pins has a greater effect on stimulation as its taking momentum into the picture instead of pulling it from a "Dead" state like a Rack "Deadlift" states or a regular "Dead"lift is like?

    Just curious on if Paul has it set up for that high or to be executed that way.

    Good advice. The rack is on the lowest setting it can be at, and that combined with my height doesn't give me the best ROM. I have found that when using a bit more legs and less ROM than normal I can get a better contraction in the upper back/trap area; and take stress off the lower back. I usually do these short ROM rack pulls in place of deads to give my lower back a rest between deadlift/squat sessions. All the training in here has been from me and has had no influence from Paul. This may change in the upcoming couple weeks.

    Arms and 36 mins of HIIT today. Just another day at the office. Both went well. 2nd Competitors meeting tonight and also sending Paul a weekly update. Hope everyone is having a great week. Legs and possible SS cardio tomorrow depending on changes to diet/cardio.

    Probably will just going over weight classes, mandatory poses, judging criteria, and collecting show fee's. Nothing too exciting/innovative for arms today. Cable push downs, single arm cable extensions, behind the seated DB extension for tris. Preacher curls, cross body hammer curls, and BB curls for bi's. 4 sets of 10-15 reps each. HIIT was 5 mins of warmup, 7 intervals, and 10 mins of cool down.

    The rack deadlift is primarly a lower back movement, its meant to help on the lockout of the deadlift (upper portion) if you put the bar above your knee you are really not giving yourself a ROM To really stimulate the muscle, if you placed it about mid shin yes you would get more glutes, if you place it right below your knee you get a bigger ROM To help stimulate the lower back and the lockout of the motion. Deficit deadlifts on the other hand help you get a better feel for ripping the bar off the ground and a good alternative to regular deadlifts for those who lack getting it off the floor and rack deadlifts are the 2nd part of the motion (from midshin to above) where you focus on squeezing your glutes and firing the bar up while pushing your hips (so its like breaking it into 2 to help bring up a weak point) that is why i suggested the lower placement instead of the higher. Your trying to target your lower back and bring up lower back thickness like you would in a weighted hyperextension or banded hyper extension.

    See what paul has to say about it.. But that is my 2 cents regarding Rack Deadlifts and what i have always picked up from other prep coaches or individuals who utilize them (Layne being one of them) for his deadlift and a major reason behind it blowing up besides his increased frequency and PL focus.

    Very good information solu. Definitely food for thought as I move forward.

    Well that settles it. I think I will try some heavy db presses tomorrow for you after chest!


    2/21/2013
    Legs and Cardio

    Squats 135x12 225x8 (8 sets) 135x20 (immediate drop set after 8th set)
    Upright hamstring curl: 4 sets of 12
    BB walking lunges: 115x20 (2 sets) 135x20 (2 sets) 165x16 (PR I believe)
    Extensions: 5 sets of 20

    Calf raise on Hack squat: 5 sets of 20

    Cardio: 20mins SS cardio. 100SPM ~325 cals burned.



    Thoughts: Had a little trouble getting into this one out of the gate but snapped into it around the 3rd set of squats. Lunges went well and finished off wheels with high rep extensions.

    Diet changes: 20 carbs cut for next 3 days. 10 day "peak week" plan to begin on Sunday.



    Nice video I ran into in Paul's log.



    Few take away points:

    1) You cannot control what others are doing, the only thing you have control over is yourself.
    2) Placing/judging should not dictate your enjoyment of the sport.
    3) Win by a point, lose by a point, come in first, come in last, just enjoy the experience.

    You and me both. Might have to keep some things on the low for Paul (can't go on telling you all our secrets now) but I will definitely be commenting on this in the upcoming weeks. Pictures are probably a good idea. Probably every other night as opposed to weekly.

    Chest and Shoulders


    DB pullovers on decline: 3 sets of 12 (50lbs)
    Incline BB press: 135x12 155x10 185x8 155x10 135x12
    Flat DB press: 50x20 60x12 80x10 100x8
    Hammer Strength flat: 3 sets of 12
    Hammer Strength decline: 3 sets of 12

    DB side laterals: 5 sets of 20
    DB rear delt fly: 5 sets of 12
    DB press: 50x10 (4 sets)


    Thoughts: Great chest workout. Threw in some variety in the form of pull overs, incline BB and Hammer Strength machines. Side laterals went well for shoulders but come time to DB press I just wasn't able to move much weight. Guess I could have expected such a thing after 15+ sets of chest and high rep raises/rear delt flies, but still kind of a disappointment. Best laid plans often go awry (especially in contest prep). Back/traps/abs and HIIT tomorrow.

    I love Rear Delt Flies. I like them with a plate over a DB for some reason I think it gives a better contraction somehow

    Thanks Wood brah. Nothing pumps my shoulders better than high rep laterals and flies.

    I prefer to have my hands more at my side. I find with plates I A) cant go heavy and B) tend to only be able to target the anterior delts. A super set between the two could be something worth trying.

    Cardio: 36 mins of total HIIT



    Thoughts: Great pump and focus today, can't ask for much more. Tossed in some more variety and tried to hit the back from all angles. Best cardio session yet. I am adjusting to HIIT and progressively doing better as time goes on as opposed to being more drained which is a good sign. Overall feeling better this Saturday compared to last, even with carbs being cut by 20. Planned on doing abs today as well but figured I would be better off doing them tomorrow with arms, calves, and SS cardio.
