I Am Juggernaut 2014 - Mac2118

[mac2118]

Hello everyone. I finally decided to do the IAJ challenge this year. I was tempted to do it last year; but I didn’t know that much about it then. I’ve done the BB 100k, Dymatize, and BSN comps in the past. Did I win? Yes, but not officially.

I’ve been working out for about 2 years now (I wish I would have started earlier in life and stuck with it). I started at 240, cut to 170, then bulked to almost 210. I dropped to maint calories last week and am hopefully going to be starting this comp on Saturday (25th) as long as my goodies from IL arrive (if not, I’ll be starting on Feb 1st). I think the hardest part for this challenge will be the calories I eat during dinner. I have everything planned out except for that. Sometimes I feel it’s hit or miss since I like to try different things.

I’ve been doing a push/pull/shoulder/leg routine all winter, now I’m switching it up to shoulders/arms, chest/back, legs, and a full upper body workout on Sat’s. That should give me some time to do some cardio on Tues, Thurs, and Sun so I’m able to enjoy my summer a bit more. I play in a bagpipe band, so my weekends are pretty much nonexistent while I march down the street.

TL;DR: let’s have some fun.

How's the past 2 days been Mac?

[mac2118]

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I had some goodies waiting for me yesterday when I got home:




Looks like I'm starting IAJ today. I'll have to upload my pics later tonight. Starting weight is 205.8 as of this morning.

I feel like I've lacked motivation the past 2 weeks lifting. I was deadlifting 355 and 315 for reps. I could barely get 225 up last night for sets of 5. Maybe I'll do a deload week the first week of my cut just to relax a bit. I'm aiming for 2400-2500 cals a day right now and see what the scale says on my saturday weigh ins.

Mac man! How's the Juggernaut treating you? Liking the Wild Cherry flavor?

That's my current flavor. Decided to switch from Orange for a bit.

[ezericw]

I love it when I get shipments from BB.com, although I do get some serious looks from the wife! LOL

[MsMETAL]

Welcome to the challenge and good luck to you on your goals.
That's awesome that you play in a bagpipe band. I play the drums in an Army band and it takes up most of my weekends as well. Luckily we have a gym on base and I'd rather get a workout in than an extra couple hours of sleep.

[WildBill22]

Welcome to the Challenge - Best of luck!!

[sully_12]

I ordered the same stack. Hopefully it goes well with the training. Good Luck!

I am Juggernaut Contestants, don't forget our recruitment challenge.
The contestant who gets the most people to sign up wins this bag below, and also whats inside of it.... <hint, hint>

[mac2118]

I haven't been as active on the forums as I wanted to because of work and extra curricular activities.

My workout motivation is there... but the intensity isn't what it used to be as it was in bulk mode. Feels like I'm just going through the motions.

I haven't opened up the new JHP yet. I still have a few scoops left of my orange flavor. I think I should have it open on Sat or Monday.

Tonight is Chest/Back with a little 15 min cardio session after.

Flat Bench
Incline Bench
Incline Flies
Flies
Wide Grip Pulldowns
Reverse Grip Pulldowns
Bent Over Rows
Seated Rows
Face Pulls (hit rear delts and traps)

All is 1 warm up set of 10, then 4 sets of 10 increasing weight each set with an additional drop set at the end.

[Credz]

Least you still putting in the work to keep progressing man!

Doing drop sets is great! Hope your workout is a good one.
