I'll add my thoughts on high intensity and my current plan later today or tomorrow. And I'll include my peri workout supplement plan as well

in b4 greg - or maybe he already knows

[ExtremeOne74]

My philosophy? Why waste energy doing a ton of lower intensity and lower weight sets? Yes, I warm up and pyramid. But I do just enough reps and sets to warm up before blasting one all out set. But when I hit that set it's "put the women and children to bed and go looking for dinner." An example from last leg workout. I went back and forth between bb squats and hacks. This allowed me to stay moving and really warm up mentally and physically. 15 easy reps of each. Then a few sets of 6 to 8 getting progressively heavier. Then I hit one all set of breathing squats. I picked a weight I could hit 10 reps with but then, taking some breaths as needed I grinded out 15. I rested for 3 minutes and moved to hack squats. Same breathing set of 17. Rest pause. Hit 5 more. Dropped the weight for 7. Then hit 15 partials.

****. I don't have a comeback for that one. Lol!

Peri workout supplementation. I have a pre/intra/post shake consisting of: 2 servings of Muscle Martini, 5 grams of GAT creatine monohydrate, 1 serving of Jetmass, 1 serving of super beets, 1/2 servings of JetFuse NOX, 1/2 servings of Nitraflex, 1 serving of stim free PMP, and 3 scooped of Carbotein. I do this only on my 3 heavy workout days

[1armlifts]

If you guys are interested I can lay out my entire supplement plan?

Yes this. As much as I want to take everything stated I also want to know why and how it really effects me.
Prior to making a big nutrition plan change, do you recommend .. dare I use that dreaded detox word, but period of say a week where its just food and maybe a multi/fish oil?

Would love to see GAT throw us a Fish Oil

Hey look squirrel ...

When shopping for Fish Oil I was told to look at the DHA/EPA content as much as anything and looking to see close to or over 1000mg per serving.
Taking that further, is it important to keep that serving together if its a 2 pill serving or does the benefit change if you split it up over the day.

Are you still taking all that creatine with the new Jetmass formula?

[ExtremeOne74]

Yes. But keep in mind that I am only doing this on my three heavy workouts per week. Remaining four days I'm just taking in 5 grams of pure GAT creatine

[ExtremeOne74]

Supplements are exactly as the word means. A supplement to your nutrition plan. A solid nutrition plan trumps everything. Without that and without pushing yourself correctly in the gym, you will never reach your goals. Supplements cannot make up for a poor diet. They are the "icing on the cake ". My supplement use may seem like a lot but keep in mind that I'm only doing this 3 days a week. Other days are all health supps and the basics like muscle martini and GAT protein. No preworkout or post workout supps

I'd split it.

Any supplement questions?

What do you think about supplementation with BCAAs on the Layne Norton protocol?

[ExtremeOne74]

I don't follow Layne Norton so I cannot speak for him or his methods.

[bdillingham5]

I don't follow Layne Norton so I cannot speak for him or his methods.

Basically this:
5g BCAA between each meal (about about 4-6 meals per day) so that’s about 30g bcaa/day.

There is a lot more to his approach below, but that is basically the protocol:

[ExtremeOne74]

So that's Layne's protocol? Huh. Interesting. Guys have been talking about plans like that since Arnold. Lol. Any who......I like the idea of dieting and are low cal. I'm talking like a contest prep and not trying to get a beach bod. Otherwise I think it's overkill

EOs progress:

[ExtremeOne74]

It's been 8 weeks since I stopped being a vegetarian. Slowly ramped cals and meals up. Went from 3 meals to 6 or 7 depending on waking hours. Gradually increased cals to the point where twice a week I'm at 5000 to 6000. Weight is the same....sitting around 203 to 205 but bigger, leaner and harder. There's a contest I'm looking at in june...about 16 weeks out. Condition wise I'm about where I need to be this far out but I need to still grow more. I'm on the fence about doing it....about 50 percent. Blasted legs today. For dinner I'll be throwing down some sushi. 12 rolls to be exact!

side question: on a 7 day week, how do you split it up? What do the other 4 days look like?

DANG! them calves!! Where can I buy some? Wanted to ask, if I'm following a M-W-F lifting plan (push/pull) when how to fit calves since mine are poverty proportions? I started doing T-Th (calves/abs, calves/glutes + cardio). Thoughts?

INDEED! Going to print, laminate, and use as a checklist.

Well....if you ate like that you'd probably gain weight. Can't promise you won't get fat though. Lol

[ExtremeOne74]

Infinite- if calves are lacking try hitting them every days a week. Do maybe three sets but make them long and torturous. Focus on stretch. Hold fully stretched position for a 4 count
