[NaturalPursuit]

Damn I need me a 24 hr gym...

[The Solution]

@Bob: Buckeye Blitz available in over 2500 stores and 23 states....BUT looks like Cali is not one of them Sounds like an East Coast thing.

When you come to the Arnold in March its factory HQ is located right in Columbus, Nearly a few miles from where the Expo is held Manu.

How about we hit the factor and sample every single flavor in the shop and run the place dry of ice cream!

No worries. I'll never get tired of Cinnamon Bunz and Oatmeal Cookie Chunk



Yeah I do. Been training at the same 24hr for like 8-9 years now. A Super Sport is opening up so that has me a bit excited. I was told the DBs would go to at least 150lbs

WHere do you train?

you can order it though: http://www.graeters.com/send.aspx

[The Solution]

Adam 1400 a pint, perfect for you and growing season!

Manu -- there is also the Jenni's factory (if you never heard of this ice cream) its a very premium selection where pints are almost 10$ each. There factory is right by the arnold as well and we could hit up this place to sample all their flavors

Buckeye State

24 HF as well. Was told we cant get in higher than 120 dbs. WTH man lol. How high do your guys go up currently? I know you mentioned 130s. after adding sets and reps on the 120s I started to just slow down the reps instead since I cant go up any higher (DB wise at least)

Super Sports are nice for sure.

[AdamWW]

Will have to go to Whole Foods tomorrow to get a pint, other store only had B&Js... But I got a flavor I hadn't tried: imagine whirled peace!

Tastes similar to OCC... Really like it!

If this is true then occ will be epically disappointing when I get it

[The Solution]

If this is true then occ will be epically disappointing when I get it

You aint kidding all reviews on IWP are not very high, some reviews on OCC are like 10/10 or like 6-7/10

Confused... shows how taste buds differ from person to person.

[AdamWW]

It's not quite the same, but similar in ways: cookie chunks, fudge pieces. However, the base in OCC is better for sure, and the cookie pieces are better as well. However, the overall combination of mix-ins was pretty similar in general.

[audieswu]

Manu looking solid, thick, tight and as always massacre with the weights!

Diggin the Sacrifice & Honor shirt with a Cutler hat too!

Are you a sponsored athlete with them too?

Dude that red tank that they have I must have!

I know we don't try to train to look pretty but dam gotta look fresh lifting some heavy ass weights!

MANU O'CLOCK....

MANU O'CLOCK...

Get it through......I dictate time...time never dictates me...


It's LAW.



Downed the Folgers ...MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

HOW I ROLL


Today hit chest!!!!!



At the gym - 2:45am. I don't have time to waste.....Full concentration...Nothing exists except the weights and the havoc Im about to create....






Where is everyone? Nobody in the gym? It's only 3:00am....

FUK THIS...


LISTEN.............


CHEST

1.) DUMBELL FLYES (INCLINE): [/B] 120lbs/3 sets...You betta believe it! 10/9/7 for reps.

Now we go to....

5.) FLAT DUMBELL PRESS: SECOND EXERCISE AND 130lb DB? OH YEAH. ....3 sets...11/10/9...INCREASE IN REPS!


Now time to hit those inclines........YESSSSSS.....


3.) INCLINE DUMBELL PRESS: Did 145lb DBs and no spotter. Four sets. The first set with 145lb DBs, I got 8 reps, the second set got 7 reps, third set got 6 reps, and the fourth set got 3 reps. Increase in reps here too!...Finally.

Playin no games.....ALL WORK....


Then did a drop set with 100lb DBs and got 10 reps.

OWN THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS.


4.)DECLINE BARBELL PRESS: Did three sets at 175lbs. Always use relatively light weight. Long rep cadence. I increased the hold on the static position for one additional second. So each rep took about 6 seconds (2 seconds on concentric, 2 second static, and 2 seconds on eccentric).


5.) Bench - 225lbs - Rep Max. Back on this....Just for fun and games. Dont try this at home. You die.


Got 15 CLEAN ASS REPS. Would like to nail eventually 20 reps for 225lb Bench....RIght. Here. In. My. Routine.

All good!


Chest was GOOOOOOONE! No biggie.........Im gettin just started. You too, right?


I want strength, stamina, endurance, physique, etc.. ALL. OF. IT. My game is COMPLETE...not one dimensional.


Please. Move. Youre in my way. Let me overtrain now


6.) DB Pullovers supersetted with good ol' fashion push ups. ENDURANCE...STAMINA.. WILL.... BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED.....

Want to nail 100lb DBs eventually. Right at this spot in my routine.

Superset with incline push ups this time. Four supersets!

1st set - 95lb DB and got 10 reps for the pullover. Then did 16 push ups.

2nd set - 95lb DB and got 9 reps for the pullover. Then did 13 push ups.

3rd set - 95lbs DB and got 8 reps for the pullover. Then did 12 push ups.

4th set - 95lbs DB and got 6 reps for the pullover. Then did 10 push ups.



Dont try this.....Now we cough blood.....

7.) CABLE FLYES: Here I did MFB-8. FTW! Seven sets, 30 seconds rest between sets, and with 110lbs....10-12 reps. BTW - again when I do these I ALWAYS hold the contracted position for a count of two then begin the negative portion of the rep. On the eight set increased weight to 100lbs and.................

BLAAAAAAAAAAAZIN!

CMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!




Awwwww.....tired? Already? "Mommy....can you please come pick me up? IM WEAK."


8.) CARDIO: Cardio- 45min on stair stepper AND WITH 10lb ankle weights.


BOOOOOOM! Done.



Working harder and harder......Old Skooooooool FTW SON!.....

Bold = MONEY! Never be content. Ever. Always another level. Just depends on how hard one is willing to work to get there.

[The Solution]

Buckeye Blitz, Toffe Chocolate Chip, and The Cookies and Cream (or something close to this) are their highest reviewed flavors. Cinnamon is near the bottom.
