    11.9.12

    Cardio/Abs

    Kettlebell V-Ups
    25 lb x 25
    30 lb x 15
    40 lb x 15
    50 lb x 12

    Frog Situps
    1 set to failure

    Bike Tabata
    10 minute warmup (did a few 5-10 second sprints to get warmed up during this)
    4 awful minutes (20 seconds 'all-out'/10 seconds rest, really only 5-7 once I fully stopped haha)
    10 minute cooldown

    I figured I wanted to switch it up today and hit some Tabata and it was brutal. I was about to fall off the bike on the 8th and final sprint haha! Definitely a nice change-of-pace cardio method.

    I really love v-ups for ab work, as they seem to do a great job hitting everything...It's also nice because you can really progressively overload with kettlebells or dumbbells (to a certain point).

    Yesterday I weighed in at 217.2, which is 1.8 lb lower than last week despite not decreasing intake, so time to eat more.

    Next week will be somewhat of a deload, meaning I won't be taking sets to failure and the free weight exercises will be more focused on getting a pump and being explosive. It should be a welcomed break after the past 11 weeks of crushing it.

    After this week, Meadows is starting me on the Devourer...will be interesting to see what's in store then .

    Been following along as I am a big fan of John after meeting him backstage at my show (collegiate/master nationals) and his work is fantastic. I dont know many who have run the devourer but i know you will be feeling some pain.

    Have you run creeping death? or was that your last program from your previous sessions?

    keep busting your ass!

    11.10.12

    Legs (30-45 seconds rest between everything)

    Lying Leg Curls
    50 x 12
    80 x 12
    100 x 12
    140 x 12
    150 x 12
    160 x 12
    140 x 12

    Leg Press
    1 pps x 12
    3 pps x 12
    4 pps x 12
    5 pps x 12
    6 pps x 12
    7 pps x 12
    8 pps x 12
    9 pps x 12
    10 pps x 12
    12 pps x 12

    Leg Extension (2 second hold at top)
    3 x 15 (wow, quad pump)

    Dumbbell RDL
    80 x 20
    110 x 20
    120 x 20

    Did this in about 30 minutes. Until finals are over, workouts are going to be done at a much quicker pace, as right now I'm pretty crunched for time...this doesn't mean they'll be any less intense, just much shorter rest periods on everything.

    This felt like HIIT at times haha, especially resting basically a plate-loading interval between leg press.

    You cutting up or adding size right now? i notice you have been doing 2 HIIT a week? Do you do LISS on your workout days by chance? Just seeing what you do.

    Are you working with John for just training or diet as well?

    I'm working on adding size slowly.

    Right now, I'm just doing the HIIT twice/week.

    Just training with John right now also.

    I'm a huge fan of banded HS pressess. The contraction I get when I flex hard for a second against the bands is unreal.

    Awesome arm session. Pump was absolutely ridiculous with the supersets. I rested no more than 60 seconds between any set and usually more like 45. I could barely change afterwards and put my backpack on the pump was so good haha. I'm loving these arm sessions where the number one goal is to drive as much blood as possible into the muscles...with the results I've been getting the past 6 months or so, I'm convinced this is the way to go.

    I weighed in this morning at 218.2 which is exactly 1 lb heavier than last week.

    Forgot to measure my waist first thing in the morning, but it measured 33.75 post workout lol, not that that means much.

    11.17.12

    Legs

    Standing Calf Raise/Dorsiflexion
    210 x 20/50
    300 x 20/35
    300 x 15 + 5/25
    300 x 12+8/22

    Plate-Loaded Seated Leg Curls
    3 warmups: 1 plate + 25, 2 plates, 2 p + 10 x 12
    2 p + 25 x 10
    2 p + 35 x 10
    2 p + 20 x 10
    Dropset
    2 p + 25 x 10 to 1 p + 25 x 12 to 1 p + 25 x 20 partials

    Safety Bar Squats (to parallel)
    135 x 10
    225 x 10
    315 x 10
    365 x 10 (cut it, switched to barbell)
    315 x 10
    405 x 10
    (felt heavy, cut it)

    Banded Leg Press (mini + monster mini, explosive)
    2 pps x 8
    3 pps x 5
    4 pps x 5
    5 pps x 5
    6 pps x 3x8 (3 sec eccentric, explode as fast as possible, no lockout) 'Speed Leg Press'

    Leg Extensions (kick weight up)
    2 warmups x 15
    240 x 30, 25, 20
    (incredibly hard haha)

    RDL using 25s
    95 x 10
    145 x 10, 10, 10

    Abductor
    3 x 15

    Solid session. I was a bit thrown off by the safety bar, as there are no weight clips that fit the bar and 365 was slipping off and making it unbalanced, so I switched to regular bar and hit 405 x 10 and cut it there.

    Leg press felt great done explosively. Leg extensions were very, very tough. For each set, I was dying for the last 5 reps and had to dig down deep haha.

    A bit disappointed about squats, but they will get better now that I'm doing them twice a week.
