Just wanted to post up some BTK motivation!!!!!!!





KILL IT GUYS!!!

[PBateman2]

Manu-how was your energy levels when you cut calories vs. now that you're back on surplus?

side note-got my Versa Grips Pro(large) and really dig them. I wasn't sure how they'd feel on back day, but they performed great.

Energy levels through the roof! I could train all day. Literally

Ive tried Versa Grips once and really didnt like them. Couldnt get a good feel on the grip.

100lb arnold presses for 8-10 reps for 4 sets...

no fawking way.

Is plateau even in your vocabulary? lol, kinda serious.

Great work man. Always intense motivation in your workouts.


?

Thx, bro! Keep bustin ass!

Never quitting man, went beast mode in my workout today and it made me think of your log. Still killing it.

Right on! No STOP. No QUIT. EVA!

I'll try it but it won't be with 45 lb plates. Awesome strength.

Thanks, Stress! Give plate raises a try. Totally different feel on the delts when compared to DBs.

Look what I got last night! After everyone was talking about Graters Buckeye Blitz I had to get some.

DAMN, this stuff is crazy good. HUGE mix-ins. Next thing I knew the whole 1440kCal pink was gone. A bit out of my price range for 5 dollars a pint but it is well worth it.

Manu- When can we see them 800lb Shrugs? A video off them would be bad ass.

Ive got to get some of that!

I'll nail 800lbs shrugs soon....Im already at 775lbs. Will video too. I think currently there is a 715lb shrug on my YouTube.

Most schools had deadlines around the holidays, so I don't expect to hear back until February at the earliest, so now I'm just playing the waiting game

GL!

SOLID workout as usual Manu!

Thx, bro!

Hes Back!!!

Ha!

Tried the PB/Marshmallow by Cel. it was very very good. Had a rich/creamy taste mixed with just water. Had it in proats too...was damn good. I would rate it just a tad behind though Trutein's Choc Peanut Butter Cup. That stuff is out of this world.

Just cracked the Cookies and Cream, i think this tops the PB Marshamllow (and i am a diehard PB guy)

For Real..

Homemade Oreo's





Glad i did not steer you wrong brother. Hope to see you in March!

[PBateman2]

^^^Shiaaat! Recipe?!?!?!

Plan is to be at the Arnold for sure!

[PanzerFaust]

Manu gave you a shoutout in this one, linked your youtube in the comments and you'll appreciate this topic.

First off, I want to give props to PBateman for a kick ass journal. Very interesting. I admire your intensity and volume. This may be a strange question but when you go to the gym what is your mind set like?

Second, JasonDB never knew you were on this forum. Your videos are informative. The first one I watched was about using proper form on bench press for chest growth and I noticed a difference immediately.

Last, why the hell is everyone in this thread eating ice cream? I am sure it has been asked before so I apologize in advance.

If not lemme know so we can meet up. It would be an honor just to meet you, and if we could get in a BTK lifting session. You know that would be Dope!

Keep working your ass off Manu!

PB/marshmallow will be next on my list for sure. Have to finish off the rest of my dymatize first!

Hmmm that choc pb cup sounds tempting as well! Decision, decisions.

Went down to Fremont for a certification test on Paseo Padre.

Saw a 24 Hour Fitness... almost went.

Instead, I went to Chipotle.

A worthy substitution!!

I went with Steak, White Rice, black beans, Fajita Veggies, Mild Salsa, Quac, and Lettuce...

I was satisfied

[audieswu]

I SKOOL SLEEP -- That's Manu alright.

I remember that saying last night I ended up going to be at 1ish and had to be up by 6 this morning

Been training at night now and when I get done from the gym (10:30) while my family is asleep I study, yes study to improve

my knowledge in what I do for a living...Love that poster of Scarface bro that's the first movie that really talks about the topic of makin it happen if you hustle hard.

Also, hit up some Ace Hood man his new joint Starvation 2 is legit.

I cant justify spending 8-9$ for a burrito. just way too overpriced when you can buy a pound of meat and a bag of 6 wraps for cheaper....

Call me crazy, but its just not worth it IMO

Regularly, no way. But in a pinch it's a tastey option IMO.

However, I rarely eat out in such places. I'm all about home cookin.

[The Solution]

^^^ Agree
Eating out is just way too expensive and medicore at best. Unless you are really going for a good fine dining experience which will cost you head over heels.

Hell go to applebees and get a chicken + Potato + veg meal, and a side salad and your almost up to around 20$

Just insane.

If your a drinker a beer will cost you a good 3-4$ wherever you go, and it just insane...

Thanks for the recipe!

For sure we will meet up at the Arnold and I see no reason why we can't get at least one training session done!

This question is one that never needs to be asked... Plus I think it's in the BTK Handbook

Sup Manu, how does it roll man!? Busy as always I see.

Whats up!

Training harder than ever....working hard in and out of the gym!

How are you? Training? Progress?

PB/marshmallow will be next on my list for sure. Have to finish off the rest of my dymatize first!

Hmmm that choc pb cup sounds tempting as well! Decision, decisions.

PB/marsh is very very good. After you get that then try Trutein chic pb cup....it is ridiculously good. You open the container and it smells like a Reeses..lol.

That's my gym! One on Paseo Padre!

I like Chipotle and have it from time to time. You gotta do it like this....double chicken, double steak, extra sour cream, extra cheese, rice, and beans....BOOOOOM! Growth food

Right on, Audie! You know what's up. No time for games. Gotta keep getting better and better!

I'll check out Ace Hood tonight for sure!

Ha!

Yeah I get the burrito like that....they can barely close it. I would say it's a solid 2.5-3.0lbs when you make it like that

Ultimate Burrito? Next time in Fremont go to Iguanas....they make a 5lb burrito.......AWESOME....called the Burritozilla and it's $21.00..lol.

I finished one two years ago while watching the Super Bowl. Took me a while though...a good 90min.

01/21/13...

Wake up time 2:35am.


Downed the Folgers (3.44456433434 gulps), out the door, and was at gym by 3:00am.


Today I trained triceps/biceps/abs/calves/forearms and a bit of cardio.


GUNZZZZ SHOW!!!! Believe it. How many tickets you got?





Time to spit game:



ABS
1.)INCLINE SIT UPS- (Bodyweight plus 25lb plate) - 5 sets with 25lb plate at 20 reps/set.

2.)HANGING LEG RAISES - 5 sets of 40 reps/set. I held the contracted position for a count of two before beginning the negative portion of the rep. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN!


FOCUSED....


My mind, body, and soul....on an entirely different level.

BLEEEEEEEED...



Let's move on.....


BICEPS
3.) ALT DUMBELLS CURLS SUPERSETTED WITH REVERSE CABLE CURLS- Using 80s!!! CMOOON WEAK ASS. 4 sets/8-9 reps/80lbs. Closing in on 10 reps per set. Last set got 8 reps.

Reverse Cable Curls...Yes sir.

So 1 set of Alt DB curls with 80lbs then did a Reverse Cable Curl with 70lbs. First 3 sets of Reverse Cable Curls got 10 reps. Last set of Reverse Cable Curls got 9 reps.

4.) Barbell Curls - PRRRR! 4 sets/205lbs/8-10 reps on each set. Best mass builder on the planet for biceps. Hands down. OWN THIIIS SHYT. Oh I use some body english in this movement. Gotta be able to move more weight somehow for a new stimulus. People dont get it. Stay small.

5.) ONE ARM CABLE CURLS W/DB and SUPERSETTED W/ BB WRIST CURLS - PRRR! 3 sets/50lbs/10 reps on each set. These are awesome. Hold that contracted position for a count of two. Really squeeze.

Each of the above sets were supersetted with BB Wrist Curls (palms up). Did 4 sets, used 80lbs, and reps ranged from 13-15 reps.



MURDER at this point. What ya gonna do? You gonna cry. Quit. Get... outta ma face little mice....


6.) PREACHER CURLS W/ EZ BAR - PRRR! Here I did MFB-8 training. So for this I started at 90lbs and was able to finish the five sets with 10 reps. Sixth set got 9 reps. Seventh set got 8 reps. THEN...

ADDED 20lbs to the bar and did a final EIGHTH set at 100lbs. Got 4 reps. PAIN!!!! Straight up madness!!!!!! Eight sets in under 3 minutes!



CALVES
7.) SEATED CALF RAISES - 5 sets/125lbs/25 reps.

8.) STANDING CALF RAISES - 5 sets/380lbs/20-25 reps. On these I like to hold the contracted position for 2 seconds then do into the negative portion of the rep.



TRICEPS
9.) TRICEP PRESSDOWN - 4 sets/170lbs/9-10 reps. Hold the contracted position for 2 seconds before beginning the negative portion of the rep. Really have to squeeze on these need to get a nice contraction and keep elbows parallel to the ground.

10.) CGBP- 3 sets/315lbs/6,5, and 4 reps. Slowly have increase my reps here.


11.) DIPS - PRRRRRRR! Did these with weight...BW + (115lbs). 4 sets/6-8 reps. Bread and butter exercise for triceps/a little bit of side chest/ and even delts. Reps up from last session and weight has increased steadily over last severl weeks!

12.) UNILATERAL REVERSE GRIP PULLDOWN - 3 sets @40lbs. 10 reps. SICK EXERCISE!


Done? Yeah right....

13.) ROPE PRESSDOWN - You remember? Here I did MFB-8 again....FTW!!!!!! Used 80lbs for first seven sets.

So I did seven sets with 30sec rest between each set. Reps to failure. Then I did an eighth set and increase the weight by 20%. Dont ya love it? Get. At. Me.



8.)Then did 45min on the stairstepper. Oh yeah he did.



Here ya go.....a little....just a little bit of some front double....






Leavin nethin behind.....except a FREAKEN blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaze!!!!!!!!!! Out for blood.
