I AM JUGGERNAUT 2014: deleonr1

[deleonr1]

Thank god for Kenny posting the list of logs.. I FINALLY found yours! lol I'm sorry it's taken soo long to get in here but I will say that you are looking great and having fun with it! Thanks for your support in my log as well... love checking in and seeing POPTARTS all over my dang log!! lol have a good one!

haha sorry - i'll stop mentioning poptarts...after that last time haha

[deleonr1]

It's true I swear! you can smell the pop tarts as soon as you get out of the produce Aisle... LOL

I have had partial tears in both rotators so I am alot more careful with DB's and since I dont have a spotter I dont use them as much. I prefer the BB as it takes some of the pressure off my shoulders at the bottom compared to DB's for me, maybe its because I go lower with the DB's than the BB? Im working my way back into the DB use but my DB's at home, since my gym is at my house, is limited...

I definitely agree with you where I think the BB takes pressure off the shoulders...my preference is just DBs. I honestly believe things come down to preference. No point in doing things that's only going to hurt you and set you back. Keep at what you're doing because you're a beast! I see that pic of you DL'ing well over 400...and chest is thick in your other pics!

[deleonr1]

Now that you mention it, I've noticed that tilapia tastes kind of dirty to me on occasion. I thought it was just me haha

Nope! I'm right there with ya! Why can't tilapia taste more like salmon? Or cajun catfish???

[deleonr1]

Damn, Dude!

Your working your A** off! Very cool, workouts, and this log is coming along great! Your hitting some cool numbers on those sets too!

That homemade rack of yours...INSANE! I love it!!

[deleonr1]

I've found the same with SOME tilapia, but have had some that it very good. Tilapia and swai both pretty much take on the flavor of whatever you put on them, which I like, and the wife can't stand fish, so I'm able to get away with using Mrs. Dash's chipotle seasoning!

I'm going to try the chipotle seasoning...that sounds really good! I usually use lemon pepper seasoning, cajun or Adobo on my fish. Seasonings are my best friends...during food prep haha

[deleonr1]

What's up juggernaut fam!! Hope everybody is doing well! Today was a back day and my co-worker (now training partner) is quickly becoming a favorite workout partner! He's starting to challenge himself even more and he's hitting PRs! He never does pull-ups and he knocked out 50 before the workout as a warm-up and then 50 to end the workout. The first few times we worked out he was always asking "are we done yet? how many more? i need to make sure i have enough energy to do all the sets..." now he's asking to do more stuff and wanting to extend workouts...either way, here's today's workout

[b]Pull-ups (10/10/15/15)

Since I had a cheat meal yesterday I decided to switch out the ground turkey and double-up on the swai...

Meal 1 - 1/4 cup cream of rice / 1 cup of egg whites
Meal 2 - 1/4 cup of rice / 7 oz swai / broccoli
Meal 3 - 1/4 cup of rice / 7 oz swai / broccoli / 1 tbsp EVOO

Meal 5 - 6 oz salmon / asparagus
Meal 6 - 1/2 cup eggwhites / 1 whole egg

Water - 2 gallons
Macros - 51/34/15

Supplements
PB Cookie Protein - taste is really good and definitely better than having the typical chocolate or vanilla
IL Multi Vitamin
Juggernaut HP -taste is not strong or bitter...it's just right and doesn't cause me to be jittery like a lot of other pre-workouts

[kconnell]

Usually I'll season it and then throw it in the oven til it has a little color to it (since it's a white fish). To me, it's a lot like tilapia but slightly better. It might just be me, but I feel like tilapia tastes a little dirty haha...

If I'm' pressed for time, I'll throw it on the foreman grill...

I hear ya. I'll eat tilapia, but it isn't even on my top 10. I prefer the flaky fish, such as salmon, cod, halibut, grouper, etc. But I'll eat soft fish, such as catfish too.

Definitely prefer salmon over any other kind of fish. I LOVE salmon!

Yesterday I wasn't able to get a lifting session yesterday, just 30 mins of cardio on the stepper.

A friend of mine in Cali is a singer and was actually on tour! Last night was her first time touring as an opening act for Rob Pope so I wasn't going to miss it! She's from the Philly area so that made it all the more awesome for her and her fam!

She's a little mix of r&b/pop/rock&roll...if you have the chance, check out her out...

http://www.alexiskeegan.com/#!music/c10tw

The event was at World Cafe Live Philly where they have some awesome appetizers so I had to make sure I didn't break from my meals so I pushed all my meals back 2 hours that way I got most of my foods in a short span of time and drank a ton of water right before heading out...AND it worked!

Meal 1- 1/4 cup cream of rice / cup of egg whites
Meal 2 - 7 oz swai seasoned / 1/4 cup of rice / asparagus
Meal 3 - 2 scoops of protein / G2 Gatorade
Meal 4 - 7 oz swai seasoned / asparagus
Meal 5 - 1/2 cup of egg whites / 1 whole egg

Nice workout! What flavor of Juggernaut do you take? Also I know you said you were looking at Final Form or Final Cutz. Have you tried one yet?

[deleonr1]

I should probably add the flavor huh lol. I'm on Red Raspberry and love it! I've been absolutely more focused when working out with a lot of energy...not jittery or wasting it at all.

I haven't tried it yet. Proteins are a staple in my supplements and when I joined the challenge I had never tried IL protein before so I wanted to see how my body would respond to it over a 3 week period. I'm just about at 2 weeks so I'm going to put the order in on Sunday and should have it just in time to start right at the 3 week mark. I was just reading this morning on xmanmike22's log that he had started it and was hoping to see results soon. I know a few others have started and said they're seeing results.

Happy Sunday!

Well, I had a little setback today at the gym. I was working on legs and aggravated the disc in my back. I have no idea how long I'm gonna be down now. I had to cut my workout short(er) because of it. I started with squats and felt a little pain but was able to keep working through without it bothering me. The real pain came though while doing plated hack squats on the machine. Instead of the 5 sets I was planning, I was only able to do 3 and got really frustrated. After that I just headed over to the single leg extension machine and did 5 sets of 10 doing slow motions and holding with my leg fully extended and seated calf raises before heading over to the stepper for 25 mins which was a little uneasy on my back.

Hopefully, the pain subsides by tomorrow and I can do some cardio while my back recovers. After the gym, I headed over to the grocery store to do my normal food shopping AND to make sure I had enough food for the next several days since since we're expecting another snow storm.

On another note, did anybody watch/go to the Arnold's this weekend? A couple of my friends went out to Ohio for it and were sending me pics and it looked like an amazing time. I never had an interest in going to the sports fest until I saw all the pics and how much fun it was seeing all the best athletes in the industry along with the man himself, Arnold!

I am so sorry to hear that! Take care of yourself, and I hope you are better soon! Nutrition looks great as usual! I was honored to attend the Arnold last year with Infinite Labs and it was AMAZING!!! This year I watched the live streaming on bb.com and followed everything on ********. It is always so exciting to watch and gets me so fired up and motivated!!!

Keep up the great work you're doing, and really hope you are better soon!

Compared to what I'm eating, this looks like a TON of food.....I'm jealous! Looks like a great plan though. Have a great week!

After looking over some of your meals I think I'm going to try a few of them, they sound real good!
