I AM JUGGERNAUT 2014 CHALLENGE Log

[sully_12]

Hey BB members!
I am 23, and have been lifting since I was 16 but wasn't serious until I hit 18. Some of the programs that I have followed on bb.com are: Khris Gethin's Hardcore trainer 4 times, shortcut to size, shortcut to shred, and hell raiser. I have also done many of the challenges presented by bb.com.

So I decided to do this challenge because it seemed more in gear with where I am at in my fitness levels vs. the 100k transformation challenge.
I am going to be doing my first 6 weeks following the Dorian Yates Blood and Guts training program. Then I will finish the last 6 six weeks following Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Shred.
I am following a meal plan in which I consume 7 meals throughout the day. One every two hours.
For the first 6 weeks I will be following a strict diet that has an intake of 234 grams of protein (roughly 25 grams per meal then a shake), I am going to be having a little more than 250 grams of carbohydrates, and finally 55 grams of fat. each day for the first 6 weeks. I am then going to cut my calorie intake by a third for the last six weeks.
I am listing my supplement on my bb account as well for each of these 6 weeks because they will be different.
I will be tracking all my workouts at the end of each week on Friday. I hope to see some great results in myself and along with all of you! Can't wait to see everyone's progress. We are in this together, don't give up!

---- HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU SUCCEED ----

~ THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET!!!~ There's no magical way to lose weight. It comes down to physical activity and diet. Take in fewer calories than you burn or burn more through training/cardio then your taking in and you lose weight. But if you're worried about your metabolism or you can't seem to lose excess weight despite diet and exercise, talk to your doctor, there are only two medical reasons; Cushion's syndrome or having an underactive thyroid gland...
We are here to help you achieve your goal, train safe, train right, train smart..

[sully_12]

Sorry I missed the tracking thus far. I will post every workout from each day down below. My gf's dad passed away last week and that has been keeping me busy. Also last Friday I received my IAJ performance stack which included the final cutz, infinite force, and juggernaut hp. So far I really like the jug hp and the infinite force.
The workouts of Dorian Yates have been really helpful because you can get in and out of the gym but still working hard. I am on a strict schedule so I don't have a lot of time in the time right now in the gym. The Khris Gethin workouts were awesome just because you could rest in between sets and exercises to help build your ATP's back. But right now I need in and out. So keeping the rest times a minimum of 45 seconds up to 1 minute (sometimes 2 like on leg days) keeps me focused and never just idle in the gym. So far I like it. But for the workouts I am about to write out I kept my rest time in between sets at 45 seconds to 1 minute. The only time I went up in rest time to 2 minutes was when I was switching exercises that had the exact muscle group I just did-and some sets during leg day.

Key notes: 6+6x 100lbs (means that this set was a rest pause of 6 reps and another of 6 reps same weight. Also I don't count the cardio in with the workouts.
When I say 6 failure x 100 lbs (means that I got 6 reps that went to failure as in I couldn't do another proper rep.)

I also want to post my supplement: Animal Pak vitamins, Optimum Nutrition Whey, and now the performance stack of I AM JUGGERNAUT. Thanks for checking in with me everyone!!
