DBLBacn and DocHollidy do work with CON-CRET

[RyouBakua]

Then Decided to Mess around and hit Decline Bench
225x5
315x5 fast and easy

only had 40 minutes to workout, so that is why this isnt much done tonight.

overall not a bad workout, messed around with a working set of decline at the end, going to probably hit my back hard tommorow, and going to run my 40, and a couple other timed drills hopefully friday. Shooting for a 4.75
I ran 4.72, 4.74, 4.72 back in December but then again I havent been running 40's in a while but have been running during practice and a sprint/dynamic session each week. Want to up the running now that it is warmer, no longer snow and I can get in better game shape.

youve got some good exercises

do you them with a team or solo?

[RyouBakua]

Another awesome workout today. not as many PR's on this one as the last two, but still hit quite a few. i base my PR's off of my total volume for the exercise, and it seems like every time i go into it I get stronger and stronger. it's like I've been getting nOOb gains without being one. this program I've been using has really worked for me so far, and hopefully it stays that way.

The Breakdown:
PWO i took 3 scoops of the blue razz about an hour before hand as well as some of the ripped fuel. was pretty tired this morning from lack of sleep so i thought the caffiene couldn't hurt. same as yesterday, the con-cret tasted amazing and mixed extremely well. only been 2 days and I'm already a fan!

I took a little extra time today as I had more to spend in the gym. only ended up being about 15 minutes more than usual, but the extra rest seemed to help on some of the lifts. overall a great workout and am satisfied with it.

Strength - 9/10 - would liked to have hit a little heavier or a few more reps on some of these, but overall I was feeling strong and everything went great.
Endurance - 9/10 - definitely felt up to the challenge today. i could've kept going if I really wanted to, but by the time i hit that last set of abs I was starting to get tired and figured I should call it quits for the day.
Recovery - 10/10 - no DOMS, no feelings of soreness, no anything that would even imply I hit the gym yesterday. it's kinda weird actually. sometimes I feel like if I'm not sore i didn't work hard enough, but then the numbers went up again today and I had more PR's so I take that to mean the con-cret is doing it's job and I won't have to deal with that pesky soreness during my next workout.

My second time hitting the same muscle group in a week i usually end up lifting less instead of more. Today that was not the case. I really hope this continues because if it does I may be hitting 100lb dumbbells before the log is over. wouldn't that be great?!

nice upperbody workout Bacon

you dont need to hit PRs everytime, but its hard NOT to right!


gotta love that recovery and if youre already doing the 80s...

i predict the 100s in the near future

[DocHollidy]

youve got some good exercises

do you them with a team or solo?

I do them by myself, my boy will time me when I do timed drills, but thats the only bad thing I cant actually gauge my speed unless I have a timer..

Sometimes I feel slow and post great times, sometimes feel faster and dont post, it has to do with me being stiff in my running, I've noticed the smoother you try to run the slower you will feel, but faster you will be. My goal is to be running legit 4.6s at 260lbs I think I will be solid their. I ran a 4.47-4.49 5-6 different times and usually ran around 4.52-4.57 when I was 195lbs back in highschool, so I've gained a lot of weight and am running around 4.70-4.75 now so not too much difference, I'd love to have the speed I used to have, feel slow as hell now even if I'm running 4.7

[DBLBacn]

definitely agreed! i just can't stop, but not to worry, i have no intentions of stopping the PR's any time soon

thats great

i have a wrestling background

but i would still love to do speed drills like that

(my boys arent dependable when it comes to stuff like that)

Great job Doc. My wife did step ups for the first time in awhile yesterday and was talking about how it was killing her.

that'd be nice, hopefully it happens.

today should turn out to be an interesting day. supposedly I have a ton of meetings and paperwork to take care of at work so i'm still hoping to get to the gym and actually have a lunch break. i think i need to hit some more PR's today, maybe i'll read Doc's beastly numbers right before I hit the weights for that added push to make myself work harder.

Of to work soon, some morning motivation as always...





good luck to everyone else on their workouts today, lets see some PR's!

ProMera would like to congratulate Alexpetrou and DBLBacn on winning a bottle of ProMera's new preworkout supp...Beta-Cret!

There will be additional opportunities for our loggers who have done a great job visiting and comparing results with the rest of the Con-Cret family. Also, being active in and creating an interesting and unique Con-Cret log will be noted as well.

I am copy/pasting this in every active Con-Cret log to let each of you know that ProMera will be doing this continually as a way to thank our loggers.

DAY 5

Little Combine Workout
(less than 2 days til game day now so winding down on the training for the week, just messing around tonight since people were asking about me in reference to this years combine numbers)

Bench Press
135x10 (Warmup)
135x10 (Warmup)
225x26 (PR +3)
340x3


Broad Jump
8'9 (+3" PR)
8'8


So I'm pretty happy, I've never trained the broad jump so thats why its pretty low, i'm gonna start training for it after the season along with all of the combine test. I'm going to run the shuttle, 3 cone, and 40 tommorow if I can get my timer, so we can see where I stack up on everything...

But for the TOP performers at D-Line I'm 3 reps outside of the top performers on the bench, and 8" outside of the top performers on the broad jump lol so a LOT of work to do, I think my timed drills will be in the top performers but we will find out tommorow.
For LB's I would of been 6th on the bench, but still about 9" from the top in the broad jump, so I need to improve my explosiveness quite a bit but it will come.

225 x 26 is pretty awesome right there!

[DocHollidy]

225 x 26 is pretty awesome right there!

thanks man I'm attending some tryouts next year, my coach has already had contact from the Reading Express of the IFL about me, so hopefully that is a door that will open up to something.

But my goals for the tryout are
260lbs
below 4.75 40
above 30 reps on bench
above 30 vert
above 9'5 broad jump

so I have alot of work to do


EDIT: forgot to add kudos to DBLBacn my partner got some Beta-Cret so thats awesome.

[RyouBakua]

great stats to shoot for



if youre getting 225 for 26

im pretty confident that you can hit 30 on the Con-Cret you got

[DocHollidy]

Guess I should add this since I've forgot last few posts

Recovery- 9.5/10- Feel like I recover nicely, should really be a 10 but after going on low carbs without being used to it I struggle with recovery slightly, more my fault but this is pushing me through with my workouts.

Strength- 10/10- I'm breaking records almost every other workout.

Endurance- 10/10- Same with the recovery the low carbs kills me, but I'm getting through my sets and still putting up numbers so. I love this stuff so far. Definitely getting pineapple after I'm through with this.


forgot to add I did alot of hip work and jump rope earlier today

[BruinBC]

forgot to add I did alot of hip work and jump rope earlier today

What do you do for hip work?

[DocHollidy]

What do you do for hip work?

abbduction, adduction, flexion, extension

[BruinBC]

abbduction, adduction, flexion, extension

Cool I'd love to get looser, more fluid hips. I'll definitely be looking into these sorts of exercises.

[DBLBacn]

Well before I start on this I feel I have one thing to say...



to RB for originally starting me on this, to my log partner Doc for putting up some huge numbers (motivating as hell, great work today bro. i wish i could do 225 once let alone 26!), and to the rest of the loggers, supporters, and followers of this awesome log. I say this because tonight I had the best workout of my life, and I feel as though I owe it mostly to y'all. it started with a 4 mile run with the wife this afternoon around the park here in town, and then off to the gym a little later to thrash some iron. I have never felt so pumped and into it. I went in and immediately Beast Mode was engaged...



The Breakdown:

PWO i took 2 capsules of Con-Cret, and also read through some logs for motivation. seeing everybody working so hard and offering encouragement made me want to hit it harder than ever. I went in with a single goal: i wanted PR's on EVERY lift I did. i didn't quite make that, but it was close. Here's what I managed:

1Barbell Squat - 165x15, 205x15, 215x15 PR
2Leg Extensions - 200x10, 220x10, 240x8
3Lying Leg Curls - 70x10, 80x10, 90x6 PR
4Smith Machine Lunges - 110x10, 120x10, 125x10 PR
5Seated Calf Raise - 110x15, 120x15, 130x15 PR
6Standing Dumbbell Calf Raise - 85x12, 95x12, 100x12 PR
7Seated One-arm Cable Pulley Rows - 70x12, 85x12, 90x12 PR
8Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown - 165x10, 165x10, 170x10 PR
9Back Extensions - 60x12, 60x12
10Incline Dumbbell Curl - 35x10, 40x10, 40x10 PR
11Lying Cable Curl - 115x12, 125x11, 125x10 PR
12Hammer Curls - 40x10, 45x10 PR
13Palms-Down Dumbbell Wrist Curl Over A Bench - 10x12, 15x12, 15x12 PR
14Oblique Crunches - 14x15, 14x15, 14x15 PR
15Cable Crunch - 100x15, 115x15, 125x15 PR
16Dumbbell Side Bend - 60x10, 60x12 PR

Still a RIDICULOUS number of PR's yet again! Tonight was hands down the BEST workout of my life! I have never hit it like I just did, and I have never felt better! I just felt unstoppable, and kept pumping out reps I didn't even know I had in me.

Strength - 10/10 - I have never been or felt stronger in my entire life! as soon as I swallowed the Cret' i was in the zone, and I threw iron around like it was nothing. (not quite like Doc does, but he's probably like the strongest dude in the world, so I guess I can't feel to bad
Endurance - 10/10 - I couldn't be stopped tonight. nothing was gonna stand in the way of me lifting the weights I set out to and smashing some PR's. I felt like I could've stayed all night, and had to force myself to leave lest I over-train.
Recovery - 10/10 - I felt NOTHING in terms of soreness or issues from any of my previous workouts this week. there was no pain keeping my numbers down, and I love that about the Con-Cret! the true test will be tomorrow, seeing if I'm sore after the epic workout had tonight.


All of these numbers would be 15/10 if I could do it, because there was nothing like tonight! thanks again to everybody for the kind words and for following along. I think tomorrow will be a much needed day of rest after 4 solid days straight. keep following along, and I will be sure to check in on y'all as well!

And remember, when you have a goal, fight for it like hell!
