    Wow, a huge huge change since August.

    Many do see the effort you have put in and how much dedication you have

    I bet that was a hard decision, that took alot of thought but i dont think you will regret it at all, your going to grow and kill it

    Do you know when you will compete or just keep growing until your happy?

    Well done for the work you have achieved so far

    Question

    Thanks guys.

    You have no idea how hard it was to abandon the idea if competing. Of feeling like I wasn't good enough. Like I could've worked harder somewhere. I know it is nonsense, because I can look back with the utmost confidence and say at every turn, "I have given all I have to give, and then I gave some more."

    My body is tired and beat up. It needs rest, calories, and an unrelenting pummeling from the sick workings of my mind and drive.

    I have chosen my show, and am about to swipe my card as we speak to sign up and register. October 19th, 2013. It's done...I'm in there. Time to really hammer down.

    Had to be in the gym by 630am because my son was having oral surgery where he needed to be put under at 11am. I enjoyed training that early. The gym is far more quiet, and no one bugged me for my squat rack. I finished this workout in about 90min which is on the short end for me. Feelin good today.

    Macros have been raised to 275p/305c/55f as of yesterday. Gonna slowly reverse out of the 7 month deficit and find a home at a reasonable maintenance.

    The routine for the next two weeks has been written and will be less volume than usual. Hit some isolations, let my body recover a bit, and do almost a pseudo-deload. After next week...volume that would make Alex Kikel cringe : ) I aspire.

    Weight: 179.0


    Transition week:

    Legs Week 1:

    Squats:
    (RPE 8 - 5reps)
    15reps x 3 -just bar warm up
    135x5 (x2)
    155x5 (x2)
    175x5 (x2)
    185x5 (x2)
    205x5 (x2)
    225x5
    245x5
    265x5
    275x5
    285x5
    (RPE 9 -3reps)
    285x3
    295x3
    305x3
    315x3


    Single Leg Split Squats: (3x12 each leg)
    135x12 (x3)


    Superset:
    Ham Curl/DB SLDL holds

    240x15/30sec hold x3
    255x15/30sec hold x3
    270x12/30sec hold x5
    285x15/60sec hold x3

    Those holds at the base of the SLDL movement are rough. I used a 12kg kettlebell and I thought my hams might seize up and never work again. The stretch was great. Really wish I hadn't done a stupid amount of SLDLs yesterday though. My hams were already hurtin.


    Leg Extension:
    (MYO reps- push 15 rest 10sec +5 myo til you can't push 5 anymore.)

    155x15
    +5 Myo (x 12 or 13 rounds)

    The pump was insane. Actually had a hard time walking when I was done. My quads were smoked!!!


    Core:
    Quintuple Set:

    Sit ups: 15front/10left/10right/10front

    Mason Twist: 12kg kb x20

    Side Raises: 46kg kb x15 each side

    Incline Planks: 60sec plank

    Hanging Leg Raises: 10

    2 rounds of this superset. No rest between exercises. This doesn't seem like a ton of reps, but man was I spent at the end of it.

    It wasn't followed by 16 sets of bench and 18 sets of deads. Sounds pretty deloaded to me : )

    Transition Week:

    Chest and Delts:

    DB Flat Bench: (15,10,12,10)
    45x15 (x3) -warm up
    60x15
    70x10
    65x12
    75x10

    Presses felt clean today. Could certainly push more weight, but then I lose the focused connection.


    Hammer Incline Machine: (15,10,6-drop last set AM)
    45+10 each side x15
    45+25 each side x10
    45+45 each side x6-drop set
    -45x15


    Superset:
    High Cable Flies/Upright DB Rows
    50lbs x10/45lbs x10
    (x3)

    I usually have done upright rows with either BB or straight bar on cable tower. I really liked them with the DBs. It was far less tension and torsion on the wrists. Was able to really contract each side.


    Machine Shoulder Press:
    (Each arm is independently moved with independent weight. All sets are drop sets.)
    70x10- drop set
    -70x10 (weight felt fine. I stayed there)

    90x12-drop set
    -70x12

    90x15-drop set
    -70x15 (this one was rough)

    70x15-drop set
    70x10-drop again
    60x8


    DB Straight Arm Side Laterals:
    (Myo Reps- 15reps +5myo.)
    (Myo rest period is 10sec)

    17.5 x 15 +5myo

    I lost count, but it was somewhere in the 35-40 extra Myo sets. My arms felt as if they may fall off at any moment.


    Rear Delt Flies on pec deck:
    (15,12,15,10)
    100x15
    120x12
    110x15
    130x10

    Last rep on all sets was held at extension for as long as possible.


    Delts are shredded! So pumped.

    I'm feelin great about my pushes today. I need to break the mental barrier that my pushes suck, and get it into my head that I can destroy these days as much as I can hammer a leg day. My push volume is about to go through the roof, because it's blatantly apparent that it's my chest and delts that need to come up. I'm on it.

    You find the holds, slow negatives play a huge part for your chest and shoulders on upper days? Ever since i started with TSG and tried those methods with 3-5 second negative and holds my chest has been on FIRE.

    Since I've really just started adding them in, it's hard to tell how effective it has been strength-wise, but I can certainly notice an endurance difference. Spending that much time under tension has allowed my normal reps to feel like a cakewalk. I will continue to add TUT training to my upper. I can't see any negatives to doing so. I would imagine both strength and size would increase through these methods. At least, logically that makes sense to me.

    I also laughed hard and the making Alex cringe because of the volume you're going to be putting in hahaha. If you don't start writing everything in 48 font underline bold and smashing the keys as you type he might still have you beat!

    Great pics by the way, looking good! October will be here soon enough!

    I use my phone pretty much exclusively to update, so I'd prefer to not smash it lol.

    And yeah, I think it was a good move to let the body rest and then do an actual contest prep from a solid base, and not a contest prep tacked on to a hardcore fat loss run and then a recomp. Thanks man, I've got a long way to catch up to most of you guys, but I'm comin ; )

    Transition Week:

    Back:

    Today's focus is mainly on building up those wings. I'm tryin to look like a flying squirrel up in here.

    T-Bar Row: (15,12,10,10)
    2plates x10 (x3) -warm up
    3plates x15
    3plates x12
    3plates +25 x10
    4plates x10


    Close Grip Pulldown: (10,10,10,15)
    100x10
    110x10
    130x10
    130x15

    Slow and controlled on these. Felt great.


    Close Grip Low Rows:
    (First 3 sets TUT 3sec con/3sec neg)
    80x10 (x3) -TUT sets
    (Next 5 sets...15,12,10,10,10)
    100x15
    110x12
    120x10
    130x10
    150x10

    TUT sets smoked my bis. My arms certainly felt that.


    Chin-ups (bw only):
    3x10


    Rack Pulls: (3x6)
    315x10
    405x8
    455x6

    I had planned on pulling an extra set for 495x6, but I looked up at the clock and realized I was out of time.


    Overall:
    A really solid session. Feeling the extra calories. Not mad about it. Big ass lats on the way!

    On another note, Team AppNut sent me their Drive product which I'm currently running a log for, and since they enjoyed my last log for Black Cats, they're sending me a full size bottle of HGHup which I'm gonna run alongside the Drive. Not mad about that either. Free stuff pleases me lol.

    Thanks DoubleG...I just keep showin up.

    People that have seen my transition from my old self to my new one ask me, "How did you get into this kind of shape coming from where you were?"

    I tell them the truth, "I just keep showing up."

    Transition Week:

    Arms:

    BB Curls: (15,12,10,10)
    60x15
    70x12
    80x10
    90x10

    My bis are still a little roughed up from back yesterday. Feelin it already.


    Superset:
    Seated Incline Curls (3sec concentric, 3sec eccentric)/Standing DB Hammers

    20x15/22.5x15
    20x15/25x15
    20x15/25x15
    20x15/27.5x15


    EZ Bar Skullcrushers: (15,12,10,10)
    80x15
    90x12
    110x10
    120x10


    Superset:
    Overhead Rope Extensions/V-Bar Pushdowns

    80x15/60x15
    90x15/60x15
    100x25/60x15

    Cardio:
    Rocked 20min of Incline Intervals at a fairly high pace today.

    My weight has actually stabilized at 178-180, and that's with a raise in nutrition and zero cardio. My body is grateful for the rest, and I'm gonna have a much better base to come from this time.


    And that's it. Short day today. I am not really a fan of a day dedicate to just arms, but just doin what needs done. My arms were ridiculously pumped. To the point where taking my shirt off in the locker room was quite the chore, cuz I couldn't lift my arms that high, or behind my head.

    The squats were fine. I kept the weight light on purpose so I could really focus my quad contractions.

    Those leg curls tho...fuuuuuuuuk them things. I won't be able to fully extend my legs in the morning. Luckily tomorrow is chest/delts. No legs needed other than to walk to the next set of equipment.

    Your leg workout sounds brutal, as everyone is saying you love the volume

    You sure show that you can handle the high volume no problem.

    My shoulder was hurtin like hell yesterday. I figured a day of laying off it would resolve the issue. Man, was I wrong. My left shoulder was in agony from the moment I woke up. But, I sucked it up and did chest and shoulders. Just kept the weight down and kept the focus tight. Got some great contractions today.

    Transition Week:

    Chest/Delts:

    Superset:
    Incline BB/Arnold Press
    (12/8, 12/8, 18/15, 10/8)
    3 warm up sets at 95x20

    135x12/35x8
    135x12/35x8
    135x18/35x15 -painful!!!
    165x10/35x10


    DB Front Raises:
    (12, 12, 8, 12)
    25x12
    25x15
    37.5x15
    35x40!!!

    The first couple sets, my shoulder was feeling rugged. I told it to quit its bitching, and after that...well, you see : )


    Superset:
    Smith Flat Bench/Static Hold Push-ups

    (All weights are plate weight. Static hold push-ups are done to fail, and at fail, drop to knees and hold push-up to fail a second time. Sets 2,3, and 4 are done with a plate on my back.)

    140x12/Static Fail
    140x15/Static Fail +25
    170x12/Static Fail +25
    190x7/Static Fail +45

    Last set should've been 190x8, but my shoulder was smoked. I barely racked that last rep.

    And that's it. BUT, since I can't stand this only one day a week working legs, I decided I'd go back into it just to make sure I was really done.


    Legs...revisited!!!

    Superset:
    Walking BB Lunges/Incline Leg Press

    (All walking lunge sets are done step, step, double squat, step, step, double squat...repeat.)
    Ready? FKN GO!!!

    12lunges x70lbs/8plates x20
    12lunges x70lbs/10plates x15
    12lunges x70lbs/14plates x15

    Wooooooo!!! That's exactly what I needed to make my day better. When in doubt...fkn legs!

    Weight: 181lbs

    Feelin great. Shoulder hurts like a b*tch, but I'll be fine. I'm on this ish.
