Whoopitskevin can testify if this guy decided to do a natural show or local npc show he dominate, hes about 205 around 5.5%bf id say 6 to say really high, veins in triceps fully striated everywhere STRAIGHT FREAK atttached is a pic. But had a terrific chest workout. He pushed me like no other and I was really pumped up and with the photoshoot so close I absolutely took it to a new level today

Incline Smith Bench-(ALL weight are actual weight)-185(12)205(12)225(7)x2
Flat Dumbell press(Constant Tension)-70(18)85(14)90(10)95(8)100(5)

I will be competing in the OCB next year and eventually would like to become an IFPA pro so this is the best of the best right here!

[WoopItsKevin]

Slowwww down tiger, while I do agree john can do well at a local natural show, I disagree with you saying he'd dominate a local npc show....he probably wouldn't take his weight class (heavyweights) let alone dominate the show. Okay just had to clear that up. Have a good leg workout my man

maybe i took it to far with a local npc show, i think he'd hold his own in a light heavy class however.

Nice work J on getting the Photo shoot done! Your hard work is paying off, glad you could do some training with Juggernaut and Oxidane X this year!

HEy man thanks a lot for helping out, Infinite labs definately makes some quality products had some great workouts on juggernaut.
Have to say its in my top 5 pre workouts man, its not the jittery energy even though I like that type 2 2-2.5 scoops it ranks number one for sure with the no2 properties. but as of now I like
dark rage in 1st- Animal rage in 2nd Juggernaut in 3rd, novem in 4th and like No shotgun as well.

[jaredmus]

Ok so for the after my photo shoot i decided to hit a late night leg workout
Pre workout was 3 huge PB choc chip pancakes Giving my body and mind a little time to rest. Eaating mostly clean with one big bad meal a day Still doing my cardio POWO, Still training hard, Not taking a pre workout supplement or creatine for next 2 weeks let my body clense off of them a little.
Come Aug 22 I will be back on all supplements!
Looking at pre workout NO shotgun, Size on Max performance INTRA, then 105 grams vitargo and 25 g whey isolate POWO. And probally d aspartic acid.
On to the leg workout done at 10 at night

Squats-135,185,225,315,335,350,365,365 all by 5 reps except for last set of 365 which was 2-Overall not happy at all, It was a lot of volume just no caffeine and late at night was hard for me. This will be the worst leg workout up to the show
Then HAck squat from the hip. Idk if you have seen this machine the pad is at the lower back. much more akward.
Well 2pps(12)x2sets 2pps+25 for (10)
Then supersetted stiff leg deadlifts with LEg press. 275 stiff leg deads 3 sets of 10 super setted with 5pps leg press for 12

Finished with one legged leg extensions super setted with lying leg curls.
OVerall had a really insane pump and intensity was there in the gym. Just not my usual strength. Overall it was a different workotu supersets late at night but It was not terrible.

[jaredmus]

just a few shots from the back
the last one is cool. I know its hard to judge condition while the shirts on but thats what the shoot was mostly with stringers on.

[jaredmus]

Been a while been crazy with school and helping nick out for his show in 5 days.
but just a quick update as of now if all is good with school in 5 weeks 5 days Il be doing my first powerlifting meet.
Looking for squat dead bench.
Im starting to train for it a little making my first movement now a power movement, btwn 4-6 reps, and doing a lot more stuff with stoppers. Like partials on the smith using the stoppers so I can generate power. Will be doing this for close grip bench flat, and some shoulder press too.
As of now my highs for in the gym 3 lifts are
Bench-With wrist wraps-285x3
Squat-with knee wraps-425x8, hatfield squat 540x5
Deadlift with belt and versa grips-585x3

Im starting to train without the versa gripps, and yesterdays back workout was insane


ended up doing these-deficit deads-insane!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSlcxn6md7A
at the end with and over hand underhand grip-first time without versa gripps in probally 15-18 months

anyway workout went as follows
315x5 365x5 405x3 455x1 405x2 315x5
Real hard btwn doing a back workout with gripps , and having nasty pump in fore arms.
Also been taking NRC Cabergolean-and i feel better when waking up and am getting some good pumps to. Today just starting taking
Anitest by cellshock and testanon 2250 by vitasport. Nutrishop my sponsor carries them and getting ready for the powerlifting meet he wanted me to give them a go.

Overall great leg workout, legs are finally starting to come along in far of how they look In my opinion. Im really hoping they wont be a weak point in the spring, im worried about how they look from the side and the the back. Want them to have a hanging look, being tall it may take a little longer or I jsut have to figure a bettter way to train them well see

[jaredmus]

Overall it was a good workout real deep on leg press and front squats , definately hard workout
Next week Il be going to either samsons or golds again to get a hack squat and the hatfield squat bar, so well see what happens.

Other new-have to drop a few lbs in 4.5 weeks for my first powerlifting meet i will be competing at 198 on NOV 5th in utica ny. So i think im around 203 now maybe a little more havent weighed myself in ages so well see tmrw when i get on the scale.
