Mo, Jaim & Vytis’ Glute Shredding 2012 Contest Prep

[MoEcho]

This day may suck...I've been up since 3am and unable to get back to sleep. I was hoping to train back this morning when Evan takes his first nap so I hope I have some drive around that time.

I should have the energy though. Yesterday I had my re-feed. I don't count the carbs, just eat my fill...which is a lot. If I had to guesstamate, I'd say I easily went over 1000g. Cereal, cake, pancakes, crispy minis, bananas, oats, cream of wheat....I can pack it away easily.

My pre re-feed weight was 214.5
This morning (which won't be too accurate since I've been up since 3 and have been taking in fluids) is 218lbs.
I'll probably see that number go up tomorrow. There seems to be a 2 day lag on my weight spike...who knows....

Have a great Sunday....

Oh what I could do with 1000g cho ........ I've given up cereal btw. Yes, Srs. Cereal = BINGE TRIGGER! FTL

Hugs to the fam and especially Jordyn's future hubby

Rob, how much longer are we bulking for? Until you're how many weeks out?

Woke up @ a new low this am, after an impromptu/stupid refeed. Sigh...

Yay!!

Omg. I literally lol'd irl.

Y'all KNOW I'm in for this ride!! Mo, I absolutely cannot WAIT to see you on stage!!! Do I get to watch your ass get tanned? I mean, it's only fair, right? And Rob, looking forward to seeing what you bring to the stage this time!

RONI! Miss you!!! <3

Agreed. It's only fair!!

DO WANT

[jaim91]

Looking at my current conditioning, what do you think, 12-13 weeks out....so start cutting in Aug?

Another re-feed???? Lat one for the week, right?!

If you don't mind, I'd still like to try a little harder to add size, focusing on chest thickness.

Let's cut at 12. Legs are amazing as always, and upper body is coming along! We can keep evaluating progress weekly fo sho.

Recap
Good workout tonight. Am still playing with the weight to find my 4-6 rep range for power days. I tend to underestimate everything, but today's numbers were ok. Rob & Jme, have fun with Smolov Jr!

Night! MoLiftin'

[Vytis]

Today was basically all messed up in terms of training. I had planned on training back at 9am this morning, but due to the sleepless night and the boys own weird sleep schedules today I was in jeopardy of not lifting at all today. After dinner I even went to Wonderland with the boys so I had given up the plan of working out all together. But when I got home I looked up the Smolov Jr program and thought, "heck, I can plug out the first session", so I did at 7pm:

Incline Press - 4 warm-ups, then 6 sets of 6 with 215lbs.

A good start I think. My first week of workouts, there will be 4 bench sessions in all, are based on a 305lb 1 rep max, which I did tonight as well BTW.

Maybe that back workout will be done tomorrow after all...

[MoEcho]

305!!

[Vytis]

305!!

I was pretty pleased hitting this at the end of the workout - it validated my prediction.

This morning the alarm was an unwelcomed start to the day. I could have easily slept much longer. Ah well, it got me up, allowing to finally get that back workout in:

Pull Ups - 5 sets
BTN Pull Downs - 5 sets
CG Pull Downs - 4 sets
Rack Pulls - 4 sets
Cable Rows - 4 sets

Through in some ab work just for fun....

Pre Re-feed weight - 214.5
Current Weight - 218 Holding steady, but I should see this number creep down over the next few days....

Jaime, you were just a baby in that pic...

I agree about the needed chest thickness. How about some Smolov Jr?

Can you email me about it? We only have about 4 weeks, so I want to maximize opportunities for hypertrophy.

I'm thinking... Maybe... 2x/week refeed: Chest and Leg day. They wouldn't be as big as the ones you're having now, but we have to do something about size.

Mo, thank you for handling the "b*tchy" me yesterday. I <3 you.

Woke up at another new low today... I think Berto will be happy with my progress. Today is UPPER POWER with my training partner.

Did you just ask "which one"? Lol! How many do they have? this isn't a Brangelina Foster home type thing.

[jaim91]

UPPER POWER - Highlights

Flat dumbbell - 50x4
Cable row - 90x6
Wide grip pulldown - 112.5x6
Cable upright row - 87.5x6
Cable tricep extension - 90x6
Hammer curl - 20x6

Not the heaviest I could go, but my coach wanted me starting from where I was in my 3-4th week of the last program, and then just move up from there. So I won't be pushing my max until about 3-4 weeks from now.

In the meantime... I have some progress pics. The first picture is where I was when I started with my coach about 11 weeks ago, the umm... pink one is where I am now...

You just gotta haul out the pink panties, Rob! Fight fire, with fire!

[jaim91]

Today is lower power for me today. Will be doing it in the pm with my training partner. I have squatted in forever because the gym I workout at has a strict no back squat/no dumbbell deadlift/no walking lunge rule. But I'm training at my friend's gym, so none of that applies... Woo!
