DONT THINK WE DIDNT SEE YOU HIT THAT BIKE IN THE FIRST VIDEO, AND THE LITTLE SMIRK THAT CAME AFTER!!!

You noticed that did you? *laughing*

1)On a serious note. Looks like you have these exercises down pretty well. Just one note today: On bicep curls you dont need the full range of motion at the top. If you notice when your forarms become perpandicular to the ground the tention on your bicep goes to zero. Example: thrid video. Keeping your elbows at your sides ensures your forearms will never become perpandicular. negatives look great, I can tell it is starting to burn a bit.

Cool. Thanks for the tip Micah.

2)How is the tummy wrap working for you? Would you recommend it for others?

Hot Date With My Girl Cardio + Belly Burner Belt =



That's a pretty typical result. Now what affect is it having on burning off the fat? I'm not totally sure. I've only noticed about a half inch reduction in my waste. But I've changed so much of what I was doing, I can't say for sure that it's from the belt. It does keep your core hot, this is certain. And I guess it's still pretty early to tell since I've only been using it for about 3 weeks. Karone also got one around the same time (both of us picking up the advice from Zupperman) so he may be able to offer his input on it.

Thanks for the cool quote Charlie, and I agree.

HAHA... i cant tell you definitely aint slacking but seriously it looks great keep up the awesome log

Thanks Alex, I appreciate it.

Like Joe said on squats. Ive been reading about them too and if you look up higher too may help not lean forward. Your body will follow your head. Try to force knees out over toes too, but looks good.

Very cool video Joe provided. I definately recommend it.

Your belt, is that for your back?

Nope. It's the Belly Burner Belt (or a variation of it). Here's a newscast on it...



My take on it is above in response to Micah asking how it's working.

I got this pesky ab pull and bought this sorta girdle thing to help give support hoping this darn thing heals.

Dang. Hopefully it's nothing too bad.

[CyberSteak]

I have the leaning forward issue when I squat aswell,I also wasnt going down far enough. I have been doing box squats with a box that puts my legs just a bit below parallel to the floor. I feel that since starting using the box my form has gotten better. Maybe its just because there is a target below me. If I hit a leg day when it is not crowded in that area of the gym I will get some video of it.

I remember a long while ago reading something that stated that box squats were bad for your back and yet it seems to be a fairly common thing. I suppose if your form is good it's not an issue. Interesting though.

[CyberSteak]

Steve my brother in arms! Haven't been by in awhile but as always I can count on you for some good entertainment and hard work!!

If I may comment on your form for the side laterals instead of keep your arms completely straight have a slight bend in the elbow and try to keep your wrists down some. I hope that makes some sense lol I'll try to vid a good vid for you but I'll say tweaking your arm postion a bit will but the tension on your lateral head of your delt instead of the front delt.

Just a note on this... Good advice MS. What said and I'll add to not let your pinkies point up. The shoulder impingement it causes is bad for them.

Nor radically downward as they say with the pouring of the milk carton ( not dont do it you will cause an injury to your cuff) and you'll get better Medial activation by keeping your Horizontal!!!!

Wow. I didn't expect this much feedback on what seems like such a simple exercise. I was aware that it's an exercise that if done wrong, could really bugger up your shoulder but it seems like such a simple movement. Really appreciate this guys thank you. I'm a little confused now regarding the pinky thing. If any of you want to post up a video for me, it'd be appreciated.

[CyberSteak]

Great work in here Steve...vidz are looking good!

Thanks Robert, I appreciate that. I'll have to swing by your log later. It's been a while since I checked what you've been up to.

Great log! Keep up the great work. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks. Are you in the Juggernaut contest as well? You should attach the url to your signature.

Heman of course!! Popeye just has big guns. Hard to say though if Heman doesnt have the sword and popeye runs out of spinach.

I don't know Brandon. With the proper Spinach supplementation Popeye's able to take out Bluto. If you think Heman can take Bluto as well then maybe he has a chance.

Great job on the deadlifts Steve. Remember...you're always stronger than you think my friend. Dont sell yourself short. I went back all the way to my trip through your log. I've been busy!! Great vids and I really like the Juggernaut spotlights. That right there my friend says it all!

Brandon I truly appreciate the support you've given me throughout this contest. Without trying to sound all sappy (ah hell it's too late) I can honestly say I've already won as the friendships I have formed through this contest is a prize in of itself. Thank you.

One more week of HST! Ready to see whats next!

Nope! There's acutally one more block of two weeks after this block of 5 reps. The 4th 2 week block consists of your 5 rep max weights for the whole duration. No working up to it. I haven't acheived the results this cycle as I have had in the previous cycles. The added cardio didn't help. But I haven't put on any unwanted weight either and my wife feels I've leaned out somewhat. The end of the HST program will land at the halfway point of my 12 weeks. So I'll take some pics and measurements and then kick it into super high gear from there. More of a traditional full body workout with increased cardio. I'll be able th better evaluate the affect of the supplements I've been taking from that point on. Getting anxious to strip the fat.

Got some home video I'll upload later on. I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it.

[WildBill22]

Hey Mr. Steak - had to swing by your log to see what you have been up to. What's up with all this mushy stuff with my boy Brandon - you trying to make me jealous?? lmao This is a great part of the competition. It's one thing to write about it - it's another to back it up. I have met Brandon and he is the real deal - a great person. Although I haven't met you it appears you are as well - but I have been fooled before - but I have a good feeling that you are the real deal as well.

It's going to be exciting to watch this progress - well - exciting for me - nerve racking for you guys!!

Bill not even Juggernaut could give me the energy it would take to act fake. I've been the victim of that far too often in my life. It's just not something I would do.

It's going to be exciting to watch this progress - well - exciting for me - nerve racking for you guys!!

I'm going to do everything I can to make it impossible for Infinite Labs to not pick 2 grand prize winners for the Arnold.

Hey man, long time no post haha. Your log has gotten huge. Still looks like you are killing it in the gym. You and cardio are getting pretty serious these days huh? haha, i like what I see, keep up the good work man. I hope to be more active in these forums now that my life has gotten a little more structured. Stay Strong

Interesting belly burner belt. I'll be following what's going on that one for sure.

Hey Joshua,

Good to see things have sorted out for you and that your able to get back at it. I'll have to check out your log and see what you've been up to.

Well I can say this...they're cheap. So at the very least, you wouldn't be out much in cash if it is just a gimmick. All that sweat in that photo happened after only a half hour of cardio. When I kick it into gear, it should get pretty interesting.

flashback...

September 18th, 2011 - Day 21 Of The "I Am Juggernaut" Contest

(The "Time To Make Up With My Girl Cardio" log.)

So after feeling guilt ridden from ditching my girl Cardio the day before and spending the time instead with Shovel, I decided I'd make it up to her and have her over on what usually is my "me" time. I thought Cardio would be really tough on me after not only cheating on her, but cheating on my diet also. She was however, surprisingly easy going. Very forgiving. Almost too forgiving. She's either up to something, or is going to use this against me later. I'm almost sure of it. Only time will tell.

Workout
30 Minutes On Elliptical

Decided to put the cardio in on my rest day since I didn't feel like I worked hard enough with the yard work. Nothing extravagant. Just the normal 30 minutes on the elliptical to get a good sweat going and maybe burn off some of that lasagna from the day before. Otherwise the rest of the day was pretty laid back

Juggernaut Dose 1 scoop that carried me through the cardio easily.


Nutrition

Nutrition was a lot of the same. I didn't bother tracking it on fitday as I was sure I hit my requirements for the day.

September 19th, 2011 - Day 22 Of The "I Am Juggernaut" Contest

(The "Oh Deer!" log.)

Catching glimpses of what Bill was experience really put me in "the zone". Definitely one of my better workouts without any hiccups whatsoever. I knew this week was going to get progressively harder so I took 1.5 scoops of Juggernaut for this workout. Also had the house to myself for the most part as my wife had gone out with my youngest son for the day. Cranked up some music and got the workout done in surprisingly good time. And hey I even managed to do 5 pullups in one set and then an additional 2ish afterwards. Nice. I will note that that I have to start remembering to do my stretches at the end of my workout. I get in a hurry to have some Massport and then forget to go back and stretch. Middle of my back was really feeling it later in the day.

Juggernaut Dose - 1.5 scoops which carried me through the full length of the workout.


Nutrition

Just when you think you got things figured out... Seemed like I was doing well for calories until I started logging them later in the evening. Then I spent time awake trying to figure out what I could eat before going to bed in order to boost up my calories. I know I have already said it before, but I have yet to act on it. I have to start making myself bigger portions so I don't have to worry about trying to fit in so many meals.

So Monday was a good day. I had another date with Cardio today, but it's getting late so I'll tell you about it tomorrow. I also have weights tomorrow. Second last day of this block which means I'll be using some of my 5 rep max weights. Pretty sure it'll be a 2 scoop day. And I've been playing with the idea of splitting the dose. Take 1 scoop, wait the 45 minutes to start lifting, and then take another scoop just before I start. We'll see how that goes.

Oh what's with the title of this log you ask? Well nothing really related to this contest. But shortly after completing my workout yesterday I looked out our basement window to see this...



I have to get those crab apples off our trees as these little guys make quite the mess of our lawn. Can shaking a tree qualify as cardio? How about chasing away deer?

Hey Jaime,

You're welcomed here anytime man. You'll notice the amount of pullups I did Monday increased. (!!!) Nowhere near your level but I'm going to get there...eventually. Juggernaut is working for sure. Just need to adjust dosage according to workload.

If no one has yet I will post one tonight

Ok a couple of re-do's here. Squats because well...they're still needing work. Seated overhead BB Press. And finally DB Tricep Extensions. Input appreciated.

Squats - a little shakey in the knees but the depth is getting there.






Seat BB Overhead Press - Wider grip, not coming down as low, not locking out at the top.






And then finally DB Tricep Extensions. Always a tricky one. Keeping my elbows tucked close to my head tends to be a struggle.

[alika2die4]

You try squatting with a pair of work/combat boots on? It might make you more stable than socked feet. Helps my knees out IMO.

Great videos man. I am not in a position to critique squats as I am still working on my ROM. I have to post more video content they are a great add on to your log. Looking good in here. I am trying to crank out some logs before bed - you were my first! Stay strong bro!

Nope never tried that. I actually just recently started squating without runners. It's actually helped.
