******************JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT****************

NEWS!!! FOR ALL JUGGERNAUT LOOKING TO IMPROVE.....

YOU WANT RESULTS LIKE THE PRO'S!!!!!, WELL, HERE ARE SOME TRAINING
TIPS ON STIMULATING MUSCLE GROWTH;
***When weight training( whether your using heavy or light) try not to
let the muscles relax during the set (always flexing as hard as
possible during every inch of every rep) with 50-60% of the maximum
performed to failure, example; refer to(pause and squeeze exercise
video on
legs) . HGH, and IGF-1 levels will be enhanced!
The constant tension exercises can build size and strength despite
using relatively light weights and when if muscle damage is fairly low.
However, if the muscle is allowed to relax during the set, oxygen and
blood will flow into the muscle and you won't reach optimal benefits.

*A few simple rules to remember to stimulate muscle growth are;

1. Heavy lifting (4-6 reps), which promotes a high rate of mechanical
damage/protein degradation.

2. Relatively high reps (up to 12-15 for the upper body and 15-20 for
the lower body), which promote a high mechanical degradation due to the
combination of moderate time under tension and intra muscular tension
magnitude.

3. Constant tension sets. To do these properly, you must flex the
target muscle hard during every inch of every rep. You can never allow
the muscle to relax. This means no rest between reps either. This
method is best kept for isolation exercises.

Take advantage of all three methods by designing your program, train
smart, train safe,

Does seem like it's been a while. Nice to see you back.

Pool party in Brazil...I'd anticipate a lot of thongs.

hmmmmmmmm - doesn't do anything for me!!

[TMcDermid]

How's things going man? Still hitting it hard?

[Kevin Mattson]

hmmmmmmmm - doesn't do anything for me!!

lol

[Kevin Mattson]

Sweet, thanks! When I get to the states I will for sure get in on it. I learned a lot from Joe and all the competitors and if I need some help I know you all will be there for me.





Thanks for your interest fellas. I have taken the last few days off thus far. The compatition put me back on some other priorities I was supposed to be doing. haha. OH well, this was way more fun than paperwork. I have also been out of internet this weekend and into today.

Diet Goals: I have bulked up and will continue to run a clean bulking cycle. I will be more strict on what goes into my body too. After reading some of Joe's posts about nutrition and fast food I feel the need to cut it out completely, but it soooooo good. I have no need to cut dramatically for any compatitions in the near future but I plan on doing one to feel it out and see how I do. Every olnce in a while though I feel like I want to cut just to see how ripped I could get, but at the same time there is no purpose for it and it would ultimately just rob me of some gains. If someone has another opinion sebastian, Steve, Joe, J, Bill, B feel free to let me know cause I am allllll ears. Just because I am a Juggernaut doesnt mean

Body: As for my body I will continue to lift some heavy ass weight up and down. I am will begin to focus more on my arms hamstings and abs as I feel those need attention. I will continue doing High Intensity Training I learned about from BB.com and Dorian Yates. It seems to fit well with my schedule and my goals.

Suppliment: I have decreased my stim intake to about 50mg a day until tomorrow and cut out creatine. I didn't want to cut out stims completely and wind up with a nasty headache. I will continue to take BCAA Beta Alanine and Glutamine along with massport after workouts. I am taking Cyclo Bolan now with Carnitine I got in the mail! I am getting low on protein so if IL wants to run a sale on any of the protein they have I am ready to stock up! But they need a 5lb tub.

Martial Arts: I have found my love, so I will continue to work at it until I can't do it anymore aka when I'm dead. I hope to get into an MMA compatition in July so if you all are subscribed to my Youtube/ ******** page you will be able to view it in all its glory or comedy. haha.

[b]Solid Plan Micah... You know I subbed. Looking forward to your updates brother!!!

[Credz]

Hope you are still tearing the weights up man! Give us a huuuuge update when you can

[tjwoody]

Man, I dunno how I missed this post earlier. I can relate to the diet man on top of all things. I was going to celebrate by eating a nice take out burger but than after a thought or two I just can't bring myself to doing it- even in the off-season bulk that soon will start. Yeah they sure do taste good but keep this in mind- you can make one that's just like it- one that tastes sooo good but is 100 times fresher and healthier.

That's what my wife and I are going to do- prep/make/cook our own goodies from ground up....burgers...pizzas.....hotdogs...etc...oh I can't wait.

Try to dedicate majority of one of your sessions just for hamstrings. It's an amazing muscle that is neglected more than we think but when build it provides proper function and improvement on squats and deadlifts and the aesthetics- wow. It's a hard area to make it show as for us guys-also depending on one's genetics- is covered with more fat/water just like the abdominals.

Finding your love is MMA is finding yourself. I found my love in bodybuilding/powerlifting and thus found myself- it only took 25 years but I know what I want to do and how to pursuit it now.

Looking forward to your future posts- post more 'head knockin' videos !!

[kmmaupin]

Does seem like it's been a while. Nice to see you back.

Pool party in Brazil...I'd anticipate a lot of thongs.

Unfortunately, no thongs were present, it was a family style pool party well that is how it turned out anyway.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks!

Great info Joe. I really do my best to maintain positive control of the weights and keep the muscles tight. Thanks for stopping by.

hmmmmmmmm - doesn't do anything for me!!

Nice!

How's things going man? Still hitting it hard?

Still Hittin' it hard. I haven't been tracking my weights or nutrition lately, though. I feel so dirty!

lol

[b]Solid Plan Micah... You know I subbed. Looking forward to your updates brother!!!

Thanks bro. I will continue to update. Not as much as in the contest but I will be around.

Hope you are still tearing the weights up man! Give us a huuuuge update when you can

I am still tearin it up but I haven't tracked much recently though.

I got some questions on heavy bags if ya still around!

Let me hear it!

You must be kicking head off with those strong legs- thanks for the comments on fb. What's new in your world?

I need a bit more flexability to kick heads off. Maybe arms? haha. Busy at work and preping for some business arrivals this month. As far as gym's I am thinking of moving to another one for Jiu Jitsu. I really enjoy the gym I am training in now but it isn't pushing me hard enough. There are to many novice guys in it, great guys but not much of a challenge. I will keep you posted.

Awesome finish. Congrats!

Thanks bro!

Micah, how has life been treating you since the big finish? Don't forget about us now lol

Don't worry, you guys are always on my mind.

Hope all is well bro and you are hitting it Juggernaut hard!

It is something I really enjoy. I just get so much joy out of the activity. Even though it is tough, sometimes I get hurt, and sometimes I just am not feeling it; everytime I finish class I have a smile on my face.

[kmmaupin]

Thank you everyone for keeping up with me. I know it is hard sometimes so I appriciate it. I recently started school last week, I am getting more responsability at work, my girlfriend is visiting me and I am preping for a Command visit this month. Lots of stuff going on, but no excuse. After completing the contest I got into a funk and I think it is because I didn't have a clear goal after the contest as well. My goal in the contest was to build muscle and that is what I did and the contest helped me keep my goals in sight each week. Now I need to find more short term goals to keep myself going at the same pace. So with that I will continue to be goal oriented and focused on short term as well as long term goals of the future.

Good post/update. I've noticed that 'funk' after these type of contest/challenges. Some folks make changes for 12 weeks and after it's done and over with they revert back to their old habits/diets. I know you won't do that. It's OK to take that breather after a contest but keep going strong. Find a new goal- even on a short term basis and keep pounding on that. Good to hear from you future MMA fighter...no wait...future MMA champion...yeah that's better.

HERE IS MY OPINION ON BULK kmmaupin

HERE IS ME AT 255 AND HERE IS CUT UP AT 220, .......THE MORE YOUR CUT UP YOU ARE THE BIGGER YOU LOOK......ANY BODY CAN PUT ON AN EXTRA SWEAT SHIRT AND LOOK BIG, BUT WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF NEXT TO A GUY THAT IS CUT, BE READY TO FOR THE IT, YOU WILL FEEL LIKE SH-T NEXT TO HIM..

Nice to see you taking a step up in your career Micah. And I can certainly understand what you were feeling at the end of this. I'm wondering how I'll deal after my 12 weeks are up. Looks like we'll just have to make a point of pushing each other afterwards huh?

[lonniej]

Hi Micah.."Funks" happen every now and then..It's just a part of life...Helps us appreciate the good times..You certainly have the right attitude to overcome..Keep up the good work!!

I was wondering how I was going to overcome that rut too. I figured there are always other contests on BB.com but Infinite Lab products are truly great products why waste money on other stuff.

I hope things are going well man and you are treating that IRON how Juggernauts are suppose to! Hope all is well man.
