    APE Day 14/Transformation Contest Day 14: Week 2 Review

    Week 2 Review:

    Deadlift Day- B
    Arms Day- A
    Legs Day- A
    Chest Day- A
    Back Day- B

    Diet- B

    Cardio- F


    Overall Week: B+


    Another very good week of training. A change of scenery for workouts was definitely a wise choice and changing the exercises has definitely helped. Workouts are graded pretty much the same as week 1. Would really like to have a good deadlift day this week. Diet was very good this week, but no weight loss so thats an issue, as much as i know the reason why. Cardio is not there, just too tired to focus on it, but will incorporate at least 2 sessions this week. I would really like to get down a few pounds this week at least to a steady 170.


    APE Review:

    Libido is much higher this week. Vascularity has increased slightly. Mood and energy are higher. So far so good.

    I'm thinking of taking off the 90% restriction. Have to see what the numbers look like. I can't be going rediculously crazy! Wanna maintain the gains that I have had without killing myself! I love this program!

    Bro, that shyte is beast! You are def overthinking this. The problem is once you hit 500, everything else is small. I have a long way to go to catch you on this! You are still putting up some awesome numbers!

    Thanks

    Hard to accurately assess so far. Ive had a couple people use it that arent really changing something in their programs and they seem to like it and think it helps

    I hear you. I think thats definitely a big part of the problem. Once i hit 315 and 500 it was like whats next? and now its like 405 and 585 which are miles and years away. I just dont even know what the issue is. My mentality is great, my workouts are phenomenal, im leaning out and adding size to my problem areas, im 110% into this, BUT my compounds are ****ing trash right now. I am nowhere near a PR on bench and deadlift, and can not break through 315 on squat. The weight feels double the number, yet on every other exercise im hitting PR's every workout. I dunno maybe i focused on the Big 3 for too long and should have done more accessory work but i know right now its a lost cause to stay on 5/3/1.

    I dont know if i need a new program, need to drop compounds altogether for awhile, need to go higher reps and just stay away from going heavy for awhile, or if im cutting too much and its taking a toll on the heavy weight? I really dont know the answer

    I am still gaining in the program. I am having some good weeks but I know the I will fail soon when it comes to chest! When I went out on the last patrol, that set me back more than I thought it would. I am making solid gains everywhere else but chest. I should be further along than what I am. The 5/3/1 is good for me but maybe at the point where it isn't as good for you. I am working on the grip strength for deadlifts, but straps or no straps I am gonna do my best to push my limits.

    Nice pics of your meals, I should start putting some of mine up. The taco salads I put up on FB are awesome. BTW, I cut my calories down to 2100 and doing well with that. No casien like we talked about. So, from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM, no food! Gotta start getting better on cardio if I wanna have the progress that you are experiencing. But I am making progress.

    Don't get wrapped up in PR's as they are not the short term goal. Geting on stage and dominating that shyte is first!

    Dang, that's deep. srsly - I fall into that situation of making great progress, then kinda floundering or stagnating. How do you know when to mix it up and what to move to? So many pre-programmed workouts, just pick up a magazine and you'll get 5 new ones - (3 of which are abs ). Sometimes I think I mix it up too much and don't give something long enough to see results. I just need to shut up and follow someone.

    :idea: Have you checked out Mike O'Hearn's Power Bodybuilding routine? It may or may not be the right timing for ya.

    Meal pics are excellent! Great tips - lay off the casein? I'm assuming altogether or just at night, and does cottage cheese count? I, too, am weak at cardio. Trying to force myself into p90x cardio workouts; "just press play". So far I've only done the weights and abs. no play. You're absolutely right about sticking to the primary goal. I wanna gain more mass and drop bodyfat. Dropping the fat is taking precedence; therefore, foregoing the mass gain and not feeling guilty about it - finally getting somewhere.

    Too many responses available on these:

    1. Was anyone with you when you did go for a long time?
    2. Is that what they mean by break a leg when you go onstage? Seems kinda underhanded if you ask me.

    Have you looked into a West Side Barbell type program? I've messed around with some (and may switch back in order to up my conditioning), and it might be what you're looking for to put up numbers on your DL and Bench. If you're interested, here are some sites that you may find interesting:

    Wink Contest Day 19!

    Thoughts of the Day:

    Chest day today. Had the last two days off as the job hunt process has taken a ton of my time. This week I have been lacking motivation but gotten in the gym. I will be glad to get through this week!

    Supplements Taken:

    3 tabs Optimum Nutrition Opti-men
    2 tabs Cellucore SuperHD
    2 tabs AEN APE
    1 scoop of Animal Rage
    3 caps of Intraxcell
    1 scoop Creatine RT (during workout)
    1 scoop IntraBolic (during workout)

    Training:

    Bench Press-

    95x15
    115x12
    135x10
    95x15
    115x12
    135x10

    Dumbbell Bench-

    55x15 (x5)

    Pec Machine-

    130x15
    145x15
    160x15

    Decline pushups (w/45 lbs)-

    3 sets of 15

    I felt like the sets were solid! The weights were just low. Tomorrow will be legs and hopefully I get myself a 5 mile run in in the morning!
