**************JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT*********************
TIP OF THE DAY!!!!
~ *THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME FOR CARBS TO BE USED IS BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING*( pre and post)......~ KNOW YOUR TYPE OF CARBS~.... I have noticed some of you juggernauts in here eating the wrong food/CARBS at the wrong times, in order to get the best results from your hard workouts, you need to eat the right carbs(with protein) at the right times, *Carbs that are slow burning(low GI index) are to be used before a weight training session(fuel for working out), and fast burning Carbs(high GI index) are great to use right after weight training,(supplying your cell with nutrients to rebuild fast)....Utilize the appropriate carbs at the appropriate time will enhance your overall fitness results.....
~PRE work out drinks such as; Juggernaut hp, Dagger hp, Pre-fight, SBR, Infinite Force and so on, are designed to enhance your performance in the gym, utilize the right pre-work out drink for your specific sport/goal you have in mind....


....HERE IS A LINK WITH A CHART THAT WILL ASSIST YOU WITH PICKING WHAT YOU NEED....**** NOTE; this does not mean that you can eat junk food, pick healthy foods to accomplish your goal........REMEMBER THIS; JUNK IN WILL ONLY CREATE JUNK OUT....

Day 45

These pictures are about 45 days apart, actually half way within the challenge. Nine days of the 45 included the flu, however I'm pushing on. Hopefully the next 45 days I will see some changes!!

[JohnButz]

Looking good man!

[CinderellaMan1]

Looking good man!

Hard for me to see..but I'm about to dial it in real quick like! Thank you J.B.!

[GymGirl38]

I can see a difference in your back width for sure and in your chest development. Keep going! ~Erin

[thnakd1]

Keep at it! the pics definitely show improvement... and I know for one how hard it is to see much less take a back pic! just keep working it like you have been, going up in weight as you go along and you will look one day and wonder where that muscular back came from! Esp since you cant see it daily when you brush your teeth! LOL

[CinderellaMan1]

Half way point....watch out...Im coming for that number one spot!

[shookmusic]

I see alot of improvements here, expecially with the traps and rhomboids pulling together to create a fuller middle/upper back. Keep it up, Tommy!

[kconnell]

Looking good!

Day 46

Hello my friends! My goodness I don't know where to begin but beginning this morning! My 1LT is bringing nothing but his A game for P.T. So imagin this if you will..from one end of a street to the other is a mile, so pretty much were going down and back. And on the street there are your normal light poles. So he says were going to do intervals this morning with the third stop light sprinting. So we sprint a good distance between the light poles and do a exercise for example eight count push ups. We continue to sprint down the street stopping every third light pole doing crunches, sit-ups, push-ups, flutter kicks, air squats, bicycle kick, elevators, lunges, battle buddy carries and planks. All of these exercises are timed to two mins. 30 sec rest. We continue to do this for 90mins and by the time we were done, I almost puked! Never...never have I almost puked during P.T or any training. Do to responsibilities, I missed morning chow resorting to Infinite Mass for my breakfast. By the time lunch came around I was soooooo hungry I ate my lunch and pre-workout at the sametime! Wasn't even two hours later I scarfing down my snack of P.B./Honey, apple and yogurt. As usual I indulged in my creatine, glutamine but no Infinite Force...gotta order me some of that quickly. At this pace I'm worried that gaining mass (which is my biggest issue) will always be a obstacle. All I can do is just eat, eat, eat as much as I can when I can. I try to stick to the script in my diet however it is hard in my situation sometimes. I'm going to find that equation and maximize it for my benefits....keep plugging away is all I can do!!

[CinderellaMan1]

Day 46

Switched it up to Chest and back today, giving something my body would be like...this isn't normal. Pretty miserable diet intake, not getting in everything I need however I was able to get some intensity with heavy lifting with short reps. I finally found someone who was willing to lift with me, so we did 4 sets x 8 reps on all exercises.

Chest

Flat- 135, 185, 205 and 205pds. I was really happy about getting close to that 225 mark I was at while deployed. Back then I was doing it by myself, but now I'm needing spotter to help me get there.

Decline- 135, 185, 205 and 225pds. With the third set right around the 5th rep...thats where I started to need my partner to assist and tap the barbell up slightly giving me that extra push. At 225pds I needed he at 20%

Incline- 135, 185 (this point I'm spent), 155 and 155.

Superset chest with 20 push-ups between sets trying to exceed that muscle memory and beg the body to release some more muscle fibers. Well if Im not eating enough I'll never recruit them..but I'm not giving up!!

Went to back exercises with seated rows, bent over rows and deadlifts (which I'm totally embrassed about. Haven't done them in months and it's like I'm starting over again with them). I definitely will be focusing on deadlifts the reminder of the challenge! Hope you guys had a great day! 1 Love!!

if you don't keep up with deadlifts they will embarrass you after a month or so thinking you can still lift the same amount of weight. I do multiple variations and on different days... my back day is the traditional deadlift. Also if you are wanting to thicken up your back try adding in wide grip lat pulldowns. Also made sure you do not wrap your thumb around the bar to place more emphasis on the lats and not your arms, just keep your thumb up next to your fingers. The lat pulldowns with the BB bent over rows and seated rows will definitely help thicken upyour back!

Back is coming along nice man!

Ya! I would have puked! That's a hell of a workout Tommy, glad to see your having so much fun! Keep it man, your pics look great!

[CinderellaMan1]

Day 47

Why is eating in the military so damn difficult! I mean really, I pack my lunch! People are so needy and you know were on that time now B.S. I think about what other people say in reference to eating every two hours...does it have to be on time, consume all the cals by end of day or what? Frustrated to the fullest about eating!

[melalicious]

Looking good Tommy! Nice progress!

Day 47

Even though I didn't get all my meals in, I still had a insane workout for legs and shoulders. During one superset of my routine, the manager at the gym asked me not to use the same machine to superset....I gave him that deer in the headlight look! I mean I was doing my leg curls then I went into straight arm raises laying on the leg curl machine. I mean I was flying through them with about 30sec rest between sets. He says other people maybe waiting to use the machine. I'm like dude it's "National Back Day!" That like ruined the whole superset day, because I was trying to save some time..and have some intensity as well. So I carried on doing

Extensions
(Superset)
Side Lat Raises

Seated Calf Raises

Seated Military Press- Which for my skinny self am proud to hit a P.R. of 135pds

Hack Squats(did reg and switched to rev position) P.R. of 305

I still don't under...rather I do..but my legs really do not respond like other body parts as you train them. I know its I'm not feeding them enough. But geeze I'd like to start seeing some gains in these twigs!

[xmanmike22]

Man you're doing well in here. Keep it up!

I like to remind gym managers that I pay my dues JUST like everyone else, and I have to wait on equipment sometimes JUST like everyone else, and if they would like to change their policies they can go ahead an make an ammendment to the form I signed when I started and I will sign it JUST like everyone else! ORRRRR they can leave me alone and I'd be done in the same amount of time it took them to interrupt my damn workout! lol I'm not a very nice person at times tho so... maybe you don't want to take my advice lol

You are looking great man! Your progress is showing!

Oh my, that would ruin any superset day. I'd be beyond irritated too. Great job on the p.r.s! Two in one day, that's awesome. Your legs will get there. I'm finding that my legs and especially glutes are taking the longest to respond by far. Keep it up, you're rocking!
