Then Yesterday, I was baking cookies for work and lets just say I was attacked by the cookie monster...big attack. All out binge on CRAP. I will never real my goal if I keep doing this. So keeping my carb days during the week when I am busy will help. DISCIPLINE DISCIPLINE DISCIPLINE!

I cannot express in words my envy of the gym you described. I wish we had something even remotely similar in Buffalo.
Nice workout...I've really been slowing a lot of my reps down as well. Feelin that connection.
And my old lady yelled at me as well. My gym is closed tomorrow, but I called a couple guys and we were gonna do some hardcore sled pulling at the park by my house. My personal sled, I built, and it is nothing short of kick-ass. She was not nearly as excited as I was. Damn. I'll give her this one though lol. I crushed legs today, and Wednesday will be grueling because I'm missing tomorrow.
Merry Christmas bro! Have a safe holiday."The code of Bushido is harsh and relentless."

Well over the past three days I have worked about 36 Hours of heavy manual labor. By heavy I mean, HEAVY. We were installing a boiler feed pump, and 100hp motor, and tearing out another to bring to our shop for repair. Needless to say I was VERY tired when I got back in town and I come to find this....
We got slammed with snow, and my truck was sitting there for 3 days. I had no snow brush either lol, so it took me a while. But still no excuse NOT to go to the gym. I took my MusclePrime and killed it!

Was tired, but still progressed on everything.
The diet the past few days was crap, no civilization, meals consisted of protein bars and gas station food. Bloated as crap, feel fat and jiggly. Back on track now, going to do cardio tomorrow morning and sweat some of this fat and water off, then train legs later on in the day.Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Well today was supposed to be low carb....Still is but I have had about 175+ carbs today on .5iu of Insulin!
I started a new long acting insulin, so I am playing with the dose. My sugars are much more stable, but keep going low. So I will lower the dosage tomorrow morning
These low sugars suck ass, makes you go over your calories. At times I will cut out fats and replace with carbs, but I cannot always do that, sometimes that would leave almost no fats in my diet!
Everyone have a safe and happy new year! Destroying chest and back tomorrow!Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Yea that is what is tough. I can find the perfect dose of insulin for tomorrow say. The next day sugars could be way out of wack, lately I have gotten good at keeping it stable.
But the dose I use now, will be different than the dose in a few weeks...get to contest prep and being really lean I have no idea what it is going to do.Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Well just got back from the gym. Tired as fuuu now, just finished eating then I am going to nap.
Decline DB Press
95 x 7 +5lbs -1 Rep
If I had someone hand me the DB's or a spot I easily could have gotten 10...or even 100s for 8 or so. Kind of hard training alone
85 x 9 +5lbs -1 Rep
75 x 7 +3 Reps
Incline DB Press
60 x 12 +2 Reps
Incline DB Flye
30 x 12
Nice and slow with these
Pullups BW = 172
BW + 20lbs x 7 +20lbs -4 Reps
BW x 10 +2 Reps
BW x 9 +3 Reps
Pullups have always been hard for me, but I am progressing great on them. They are actually feeling easy! Kicks pulldowns ass!
Hammer Strength High Row - Modified
I took 2 "D" Handles and hung them from the handles of the machine so I could use an underhand grip
115/side x 10
Didn't really like these...
Meadows Pullovers
60 x 10
I was having trouble finding a back thickness exercise that wouldnt bother my lower back. I want to keep it fresh for squats tomorrow. I was just wasting time. So I did Cable Rows, with two D handles, and pulled them apart at the contraction.
160 x 9
145 x 10
130 x 12/115 x 5
Really held the squeeze on these.
What I am going to do, on this day I will do the DB rows I had been doing, they are easy on my low back. And on my next back day where I deadlift, I will also do barbell rows. I do not do anything for legs the next day that my lower back comes into play.
Finished up with 10 Rounds of 30 seconds high intensity and 60 seconds low of jump rope. Then walked on treadmill for 10 mins at 3.5MPH and 5.5 Incline.
I tried a lower dose of the long acting NPH insulin this AM. Started with 23, today I did 20, and my sugar is still low. I will figure this out soon enough.
Nap time...gotta rest to grow!!!Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

I know! Stretchers, meadows rows, deadstop DB rows and stuff. Some very unique but effective exercises
I have been fighting low sugars again. Post workout I took .5iu of insulin, and have now had about an EXTRA 100g of carb and sugars are still really low.
Tomorrow the NPH (long acting insulin) I will try 17 or 18iu and see how it goes.
sucks man, so much for dieting lolType 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

well no joke i had about an extra 700 Calories yesterday, trying to keep my blood sugars up, and still they were low all night.
Dropped the NPH (Long Acting Slin) to 18 today and will gauge how it works. I just had a Grilled turkey burger, with pepper jack cheese, spicy BBQ sauce and two slices of Ezekiel Bread. So damn good, almost afraid to give insulin for it though.Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Well today my blood sugars were high ALL DAY! And still are. I do not think it was lowering the insulin dose...I only lowered it 2iu, and for how high they were today, i do not think it was only that.
I think it is my schedule. The past few days due to the holiday I would train after breakfast and sugars were low all the rest of the day, today, being a regular day, I train around 5:30PM.
So back to the drawing board to find a dose to work damn it!
Any ways. Today was LEGS!
Squats
275 x 5 Highbar
it pissed me off that I didn't beat last time so I figured i would add a crap load of weight to the next set
315 x 8 +40lbs! LOWER BAR
275 x 12 +50lbs! LOWER BAR
Some big increases, but I am still dissapointed in the squat numbers though. I was repping 405 before I broke my ankle for a few sets Legs are still big though haha
I think I may be going to high on high bar squats, I put it way up top on my traps, where do you guys? I may stick with low bar. They built big ass strong legs for me, I just wanted to try something new, but they High bar is not as comfortable at all[/b]
Front Smith Squat
135 x 15 Constant tension, no lockout
Prone Leg Curl
125 x 9 +10lbs
110 x 13 + 6 Partials -5lbs +5 Reps
DB SLDL
125 x 5 +5lbs - 3reps
Lower back gave out...
Have any tips for increasing lower back endurance?
That is the one down side to the low volume, high frequency stuff I do. What ever endurance you had from higher volume, is gone. So if you have tips I would appreciate it.
Then did abs.
ARMS AND DELTS TOMORROW!

235 x 10 +10lbs
210 x 15 +5lbs +4 reps
Something in my head is telling my that last set, I forgot to add 25lbs, I cannot remember...we will see next time if I can move the weight that much
Skip Extensions - Straight Bar
60 x 14
30 Seconds Rest
60 x 6
Standing Calve Machine
Cannot add any more weight to the machine...
320 x 17
320 x 18
220 x 10 DC Style (5 second negative, 10 second stretch, explode for positive
Another great workout, arms were real pumped.
I am starting to notice some exercises are getting tougher each week, so if it continues to happen I will do a short deload. Even though it is low volume, the workouts are intense and going to failure each set takes its toll.
I had been tossing in supersets and drop sets as well...I will only doing them once a month from now on
Rest tomorrow, just cardio tomorrow morning.Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Good Idea!
Well I am making some changes.
So today I started the 24hr Insulin that I had been using called lantus. I tried dieting this week, but because all of the low blood sugar I only lost .2 pounds lol
So still at 167. But now I can get things back under control.
I have been progressing quite well, but as I mentioned some exercises were getting harder. I have felt very beat and tired. So this week I am taking an easy week, a quick little de-load I guess you can call it.
So today, being my last day of training until next monday I decided to just all out kill every last bit of everything I had left in me.
I have been following John Meadows for a long time now. Both diet and nutrition. I have actually been talking to John recently and we may be working together for my show!
So today I utilized some Mountain Dog Training principles and killed myself
I did not write anything down but here is what I did
Flat DB Twisting Bench Press 4 x 8
Dips 4 x failure...First set was like 24, second was 20 and went down from there
Deadstop Incline Hammer Strength 3 x 12 Press, stop short of lock out and return to a deadstop and go again....
Seated Cable Flyes 3 x 12 to 15 Used a different angle each set
Pushups to failure plus partials until I could not move any more
Pump was brutal! Veins ripping out of my chest like crazy
Now I still had some left in me so I then...
Pullup/Standing Cable Row Superset 3 sets
Dead Shrugs Deadlift the weight up, do 3 shrugs, return to floor and repeat
315 x 10
315 x 10
365 x 3
Such an awesome exercise!!!
Deadstop DB Row not to failure
75 x 10 per side
Then some hyperextensions
Yea buddy! Going to be feeling this tomorrow!
So after this break I am going to give Mountain Dog Training a go again...so essentially starting all over.
I have the routine set for the coming weeks per John's Principles as well as diet. I will be increasing the calories due to the big increase in volume. I will make adjustments as needed.
You gotta try the dead shrugs!Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Wow my traps today!
I shrugged when I first started training, but quickly found that deadlifts were more than enough stimulation for traps.
Back then I would get soreness in the traps, just the top part i guess.
But after the Dead Shrugs yesterday, my traps feel in a way like I never have felt before! The entire trapezius is sore. Going to toss these in the routine for sure!Type 1 Diabetic - Since age 15

Yea, $2000 for 16 Week prep. Includes diet, training, supplements, posing, peak weak stuff. It really is not to terrible price wise for what you get. But that is still a lot of money when your wife and yourself are saving for a house!
The past few days I set my routine per his principles, as well as diet. I have a starting point, and will adjust when I go along.
Signed up for his website...man gold mine of info!
I am going to run MD Training for 9 weeks with the diet and see how it goes. If all is well I will bring John on.
And yea I will be there! Working the booth, plus wondering around! If all goes as planned I should be in pretty decent shape by then!
Tomorrow starts a 2 day cleanse...no eating...just magnesium citrate, gallons of water and green tea, some chicken broth. May just do one day, but tomorrow the sh!t fest begins lolType 1 Diabetic - Since age 15
