Mighty_Metcalf's Recomp contest log 2008

[Mighty_Metcalf]

Allright here goes my first log. I?ll try to log as often as I can, I?m new to bodyspace so I don?t know how to do the workout log yet do I just start a long in the forums??? I?ll figure it out, but if I don?t I?ll just post here for now, I plan on entering diet training etc so you can follow me.

Today I trained shoulders. I took some NanoVapor I got for free from a neighbor (gave me 4 servings) this shiz had me amped like nothing I?ve ever experienced before, no heart flutters or jitters or anything (I have to watch that I have a very sensitive system which can be good but bad at the same time) I?m going to have to sart carrying a notebook to the gym to keep track of weight used and sets/reps. Today I went straight to warming up (I ALWAYS do this since injuring shoulder, plus it?s freezing in my gym) after that I went into Push Presses; I?ve become a fan of these to overload, follwed by arnold presses, then laterals, upright rows, bent over laterals, trap shrugs, and then calf work-seated, standing, and 45deg. calf.

Anyway, can?t log my weights used but was pretty stoked about using the 40s for side lateral raises with good form.

I haven?t posted sooner because I?m trying to devise a plan on training nutrition etc. right now I?m just doing what I always do, high intensity, high volume, mosly 1 muscle group a workout. Earlier this month I was going twice a day! I had so much agression and energy I had to get out, due to my custody battle I?m going through. I've always been a proponent of throwing as much weight for as many sets and reps as possible so a muscle has no choice but to grow but have followed other training principles like MaxOT, I'm thinking about going back to that for awhile, I'll do more research and post this weekend.

So here?s to change. I look forward to training along side my longtime friend Brandon a.ka. DemonXXL, guess we can be virtual training partners..ha?.just pushing through encouragement instead of yelling at the other in person and spotting..

I do however wish I had a training partner here to train with, the problem I?ve found is finding someone who trains the way I do and more importantly is as committed and driven as I am. Nobody wants a partner you have to drag to the gym (like my roommate cough cough)

Well I?ll close for now, gotta eats me some protein.arrrrghh

By the way I need to make note I'll post when I can, I'm a full time student and am going through court battles soooo I'm swamped alot!

Okay today I'm writting what I did at the gym here, had a pretty crappy workout because I'm on an upped dose of an anti anxiety drug first extra dose taken today (saw doc yesterday) anyway I went to the gym and wasn't amped at all, waaaaay to mellow, not even Nano vapor amped me up so I had a crappy workout. It sux on one hand I feel more level headed with this and less likely to freak out....doc perscribed this because of all the b.s. I'm going through right now with a custody battle but tempted to go back to reg. dose so I can get the much needed intensity I need for this contest.
I hate being at the gym with no intenstity, I usually always have that intensity pre workout drink or not but today was a nogo from the downer....anyway

Okay, I will officially be starting the Max OT training protocol starting Monday 4 Feb 2008, Until ??? Anyone who doesn't know what that is go here and read up. This style of training has been used by many great natural bodybuiders with incredible results...Skip Lacour, Jeff Willet, just to name a few. Very solid training principals.

Current routine workout up on my page, I'll just chart them there for simplicity

Okay I did Arms and Abs today, check it out if ya want on my workout tracker on my bodyspace.

I'm sooo not used to doing such low volume and for only 6 reps for bis and tris, it's like I get no pump. But I want to give Max OT an honest go, I believe in the training principles. On a plus I was using the 60s for dumbell curls!! That's a first ever for me!

With Max OT you are able to utilize more weight your first day of training, not just because of lower reps but a whole new way to warm up, utilizing acclimation sets; which is getting your muscles ready for the heavy work, after the warm ups....check it out in the link above if you want.
