Eric, Looking good! I wil say you do not look your age, hell you look better than a majority of 30 year olds that I know! SO what does you wife think about you entering in the IAJ?

[ezericw]

My wife thinks I'm going a little crazy with all "This Bodybuilding Stuff", I spend too much on supplements, I workout too much, I complain she doesn't cook healthy! WTF!

But a while back after taking a shower and realizing there were no clean towels in the bathroom cabinet, I casually walked naked through the house to the garage, while she's sitting on the couch. When I come back through, she says "Wow, whatever it is your doing with your workouts, it's working, whoo whoo!" LOL

Chicks! :-p

[teamsw]

Hey Everybody,
Finally got the chance to come back to the forum, and introduce myself to everyone. I hope your all having a Wonderful Christmas, sharing time with family and friends. Saying Wonderful Christmas, reminds me of the movie "Its A Wonderful Life" with James Stewart, I love that movie and have to watch it every year since I was very young, and it still brings a tear to my eye (not kidding), I guess I'm a softie for that kind of stuff!
Well, about ME! LOL
I a good looking guy at 54 years young, been married to the same broad (ahem, Lovely Woman) Betsy, since I was 18 years old, Wow! We have four great kids, two boys, two girls, who are all grown and on their own now, (well one has moved back, temporarily) and three beautiful Granddaughters, Savannah, Emily, and Lyla.
We live in Modesto, CA a nice town I think! It's in the central valley, between Fresno and Sacramento the weather is nice, very cold in the Winter (but no snow), and hot as Hell in the Summer! But for some reason I like hot weather, so California and the central valley is Home.
My wife takes care of our home, while I work for Pepsi Cola (No I don't drive a truck! I don't know why, but that's the first thing everyone asks me!) and I have work there for the last 18 years, in what they call Space Management. That's the department that goes out and makes sure we have the space we require or pay for on the the store shelf, and that shelf is clean, and has the proper product in the correct place. Sounds like fun, right! Well, to me it is! WEIRD!

So, way way way way back when the Earth was young and dinosaurs.... (ya, too much, right!) When I was just getting ready to start Jr. High, early 70's okay, along time ago to me anyway. My brother had one of these,

believe or not and he handed it down to me when didn't need it anymore, LOL.
That thing and movies with Schwarzenegger and guys like him got me wanting to not be the skinny kid anymore, and after progressing to more Body Weight stuff, since I couldn't afford weights and really didn't know anything about them, came High School. And by then I was in kind of a Gymnastic Body shape, still the skinny kid, but I had muscle and abs. Nice!

In my first year of High School, the family relocated, my parents separated, and my Father was diagnosed with Cancer. I watched the strongest man I knew, fade, till we lost him in what seemed to be a period of time that really didn't register with me, I couldn't tell if it had passed quickly or slowly. But, everything changed from a kind of "Leave It To Beaver" life to a rated R teen angst film. I started smoking cigarettes, and pot, and experimenting with other stuff (I don't know why they call it that, it's not like I was recording results in a lab or receiving funding from a University or Corporation) I was just doing the wrong thing and not caring about the consequences of my actions.
Finally in my last year of school I left and didn't finish, started working where I could and since I just turned 18, nobody really ask for any High School Diploma or anything, so I didn't care if I had one either.
Then I met my wife who already had our oldest son, and I fell in love, and decided I wanted to take care of them. So no more drugs, but the smoking continued and work, work, work, so much work before you knew it we had three more kids and that's all I did was work! I eventually finished High School and even went to City College to earn an A.S. Degree.
In my mid forties I remember a doctor telling my that, "Smoking is usually free till you hit 50, meaning any damage done to your body to that point, if you stop the body can repair itself. But continue and the damage becomes permanent."
Well that bounced around in my head for years, and when I had my 50th birthday, it got louder and louder. One doctor visit (to the shock of my wife) I asked the doctor about helping me quit smoking, long story, short (I know Too Late), three days before my 51st birthday I quit smoking.

Now all that's good right, except when I quit smoking I started eating (and my wife is a Good Cook, bless her heart) and she has actually been called "Da Martha Stewart O Da Hood!" by a neighbor at one time! I went from a lean 160lbs to 210+lbs in 6 months to a year, and felt like crap. After smoking all those years it was going to take a while to get my lungs back, and I actually developed "Cold Induced Asthma" which means when it gets real cold, I can't breath! :-(
Funny as it sounds I saw P90X on the T.V. or Internet can't remember which, and thought well if that goofy dude who says he's in his 50's can do those exercises and toss those dumbbells around, So Can I! LOL And I can get back into shape like in High School (What the Hell was I thinking! Maybe I was drinking at the time too, JK LOL), so a couple of rounds of P90X, then P90X Plus, and Wow! Body Beast! I was hooked!

Now here we are at the end of 2013, and during this year I stumbled on to a bunch of people calling themselves Juggernauts, and was lured in by their friendliness, drive, support, and strange obsession with fitness and a place called Infinite Labs. Again I was hooked, just can't get enough now, and while doing P90X, and Body Beast I didn't submit any results, because I thought they were no where near what others were. Juggernauts have taught me that's not most important thing! Having fun, doing your best, and being happy with who you are is the MOST important thing.
Now comes this 2014 I Am Juggernaut Challenge, and I am throwing myself in 100%, with a goal to take what I have built up, and chisel it down to a defined body, hopefully where my Body Fat Percentage is 10% or Less and where those "Abs Of Youth" will once again appear, and just may be I will start to look a little like some guy these Juggernauts call Joe "Swat" Palumbo, and be Ripped, Jacked, Shredded!!!

We shall see, We Shall See!

Thanks for reading all that if you lasted, and I look forward to talking to everybody during this challenge.

*****JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT*******

Chicks! :-p

LOL I can agree with her on the cooking thing... my man ever said I wasn't cooking to his satisfaction, I'd never pick up a damn pot or pan again. Don't tell her, help her do it with you! But other wise I can agree on that.. People snark at it until they see it in all it's glory! I tell people I may be the girl who looks good with her clothes on right now, but wait till I'm the girl who looks good with them off!

Ha ha. It helps there too.

[asfdragpn]

Love the videos! Really great work so far man!

[DC4907]

Definitely on board and will be following you. SO often people over 35 just get lazy and set in their ways. It is awesome to read your progress and more over to follow it.

[CinderellaMan1]

I see all great things with you during these 12 weeks! When you start to blog, think and make videos of your journey that only amplifies your motivation to keep pushing forward! I'm excited for you about your changes!!

[ezericw]

How you do'n fellow Juggernauts!

Monday 1-6, (Yesterday) was my official start to the I Am Juggernaut Challenge. If the rest of this 90 days goes the way this one did, it's going to be a interesting ride!

Juggernaut HP Review

Mixing = 9.9/10 (Only because there is a tiny amount of sediment at the bottom of the cup, maybe I need to shake/stir it more.)
Taste = 10/10 (I love the taste of the Orange Flavor JHP, it reminds me of a better Tang, the drink of Astronauts!) LOL
Focus = 10/10 (The focus you get from Juggernaut HP, is just awesome, I really find myself concentrating on whatever muscle group I'm working on, and making sure I get that squeeze at the top of the movement!)
Pump = 9/10 (I really don't notice HP giving me anymore of a pump than I normally get, I don't if it's just me, or not!)
Fatigue = 10/10 (This stuff goes on and on, long after my workout and I don't crash, and even feel a little refreshed after working my ass off!)
Strength = 9-10 (I find JHP makes me push myself for more weight, more reps, or even that slow eccentric movement of whatever exercise I'm doing! Awesome!)

Today was one of those days when work just plain sucked! You know the kind of day, that when someone comes up to you and asks "How's it going?" and all you can do is roll you eyes and walk away! That's the day I had yesterday! It started bad and just went down hill from there, the job just getting worse, and the person in charge of the truck stop I was at just kept adding to the BS, and it turn into a long, no break, no lunch day! Got home in time to eat and go to bed! OUCH!

Wednesday 1-8-2014 (Day 3)

What's up everybody, HUMP DAAAAYYYY! Whoop Whoop!

Not a bad day, except my butt was dragging a little bit this morning, not that I wasn't motivated, just felt a little more tired than usual! But I made it through the day, and on to the next. Today was a boring day at work, which is okay with me, I just drive to a store clean things up and say "Later!" I can take my time, no pressure, no one looking over my shoulder, and no need to check in or out with anyone.
I love those days, but they do move a little slow.
My daughter was on a road trip for the last week or so, and she's back now. I kinda missed her, but it was nice having the house to ourselves again! When I got home and grabbed my stuff out of the work van, I locked my only keys inside, SH*T! I called the fleet shop, but no answer, so now I will have to call in the morning! LOL
Can't go any where without a ride!

Juggernaut HP Review

Mixing = 9.9/10 (I may just have to change this to 10/10, cuz I think it's just a matter of taking the time to stir it up!)
Taste = 10/10 (I love the taste of the Orange Flavor JHP! What about a "Pineapple/Mango flavor???)
Focus = 10/10 (The focus you get from Juggernaut HP, is just awesome, I really find myself concentrating on whatever muscle group I'm working on, and making sure I get that squeeze at the top of the movement!)
Pump = 9/10 (I don't if it's just me, or not!)
Fatigue = 10/10 (This stuff goes on and on, long after my workout and I don't crash, and even feel a little refreshed after working my ass off!)
Strength = 9-10 (I find JHP makes me push myself for more weight, more reps, or even that slow eccentric movement of whatever exercise I'm doing! Awesome!)

But I think it will pay off in the end! When I'm Shredded! LOL

100 of these will get going!


Then add 100 of these!


And that's after these,


And these!


Talk to you guys later!
I gotta go workout!

[WildBill22]

Wow!! Great log so far!! Glad you realize that you need to work on your nutrition - you plan on tracking your macros are just eating healthy? Personally I like tracking - at least at first so you get a general idea where you are at with your macros. If you need any help let me know - the best way is to post on my log because with all the logs going - it may take a while for me to get back to yours.

Helluva log Juggerbro. Guess there won't be too much nude walking through the house with the daughter back home. My daughter would lock herself in her room for days (after running through the house screaming she had been blinded) if she saw me do that. My son on the other hand would probably just join in. Keep rockin out brother.

Wow!! Great log so far!! Glad you realize that you need to work on your nutrition - you plan on tracking your macros are just eating healthy? Personally I like tracking - at least at first so you get a general idea where you are at with your macros. If you need any help let me know - the best way is to post on my log because with all the logs going - it may take a while for me to get back to yours.

Thanks Bill,
That means a lot to me, coming from you! Right now I'm not paying real close attention to my macros, while I do track everything in My Fitness Pal, I'm mainly just trying NOT to eat any crap! You know, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Cookies, Ice Cream, the stuff I love! LOL I'm still waiting for a chance to shop for a few things that will help plan ahead on meals, and stay on track a little easier!

My daughter would scream and do the same as yours, my sons are too lazy to do anything! LOL
But it's all good I can wait till I get this challenge is done and I'm Rock'n 10% body fat, then I'll wait till the daughters not home and it will be "Naked Eric, On Parade!" LOL

Later!

LMAO!
It's hard, Huh! Man I get hungry and just want a huge burger and fries! Today was one where I haven't had the chance to eat since this morning, this job is driving me to drink! LOL

I will come up with a plan though, I picked up a lunch cooler, now I just need some money for food!

[loves2rescue]

Great into~ Im looking forward to more!! Best of luck

Eric,

Orange is favorite too. Usually I just switch it around in a tall cup for 45 seconds and it's mixed.

I think I finally got caught up with posting on the same day! We will see how long it lasts!

What's up everybody, not to bad of a day today, I got a late start because I locked the keys in my van and couldn't get in touch with the fleet department till this morning! Took the tow truck driver an hour to break in! LOL

Day 4, Whoop, Whoop! It's getting close to the end of the first week, how cool is that?

Juggernaut HP Review

Mixing = 10/10 (I think I finally figure out the mixing.)
Taste = 10/10 (Orange all the way!) LOL
Focus = 10/10 (The focus you get from Juggernaut HP, is just awesome, I really find myself concentrating on whatever muscle group I'm working on, and making sure I get that squeeze at the top of the movement!)
Pump = 9/10 (I really don't notice HP giving me anymore of a pump than I normally get, I don't if it's just me, or not!)
Fatigue = 10/10 (This stuff goes on and on, long after my workout and I don't crash, and even feel a little refreshed after working my ass off!)
Strength = 9-10 (I find JHP makes me push myself for more weight, more reps, or even that slow eccentric movement of whatever exercise I'm doing! Awesome!)

Nutrition
Still not the best, but I'm working on it! Really! I am!

Pre-Workout
1 cup, Coffee Black
1 scoop, Protein Powder in milk
1 scoop, Juggernaut HP (Orange)
2 capsules, Infinite Labs Final Form
2 capsules, Infinite Labs Final Cutz

Intra Workout
Amino 1

Post Workout/Breakfast
2 scoops, Protein Powder in milk
1 scoop, Creatine
1 scoop, AI Reds & Greens
1 pack, Animal Flex

Meal 1
2 Slices Whole Wheet
1 Tbl Spoon Peanut Butter

Snack 1
2 scoops Protein Powder in milk

Meal 2
Taco Bell Chicken Tacos, (That's what they brought home after I said, "It has to be something Healthy!" LOL So I had to pull several tacos apart and eat just the chicken and greens, without the tortillas)
I kind of end up with a chicken salad, not terrible, but not ideal either!

Snack 2
1 scoop Protein Powder in milk

I forgot to add this to the prior days, but I always warm up to a P90X Warm UP
They last about 15 to 20 minutes, and are fairly decent.

WORKOUT SHOULDERS & BACK

Military Shoulder Press @ 75lbs = 4 Sets of 15 Reps
Barbell Upright Rows @ 80lbs = 4 Sets of 15 Reps
Delt Raises @ 25lbs = 4 Sets of 15 Reps
Machine Back Row @ 130lb = 4 Sets of 15 Reps
Over Head Pull Down @ 110lbs = 4 Sets of 15 Reps
Underhand Chin Ups @ Body Weight = 4 Sets of 15 Reps

CARDIO = BEACHBODY'S INSANITY
Cardio Power & Resistance

Not a bad workout, considering I was TOAST at the end. I don't why buy my legs are not up to snuff with cardio. Man, most of the way through the legs feel like lead, and my calves feel like their going to explode! LOL
I thought I was in better shape than this! I hope as the weeks go on, they get better!


So far this challenge is awesome! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves, I know that we all sometimes get down on ourselves for not following our plan, or not progressing fast enough! But, lets just focus on the fun part, and let everything else fall into place!
I know I start all this fitness stuff to avoid getting to be a pudgy old fart, with a belly the size of Santa's, but I kept doing it because I actually started to like it! It's FUN for me, and even I think I a little strange for saying that, but it's true, and I'm sure the rest of you are like me, in that even if we weren't doing this challenge we would still be working our butts off to stay in shape.
So I say "Let The Fun Begin", and "What Challenge?" I'm here just to hang out exercise and meet some new friends, Right!

Here's some workout fun!


And another, LOL

My wife thinks I'm going a little crazy with all "This Bodybuilding Stuff", I spend too much on supplements, I workout too much, I complain she doesn't cook healthy! WTF!

But a while back after taking a shower and realizing there were no clean towels in the bathroom cabinet, I casually walked naked through the house to the garage, while she's sitting on the couch. When I come back through, she says "Wow, whatever it is your doing with your workouts, it's working, whoo whoo!" LOL

Chicks! :-p

My wife says the same thing. Until she see's the new me and looks at old pictures of me. Then she realizes all this time I spend everyday. Is for an actual reason and it is getting results. I have the problem however of my wife making amazing filipino food. LOVE IT...ok except things with ginger root in it. So hard to turn my back on it and eat some boiled chicken and veggies.
