Hi everyone! I entered the juggernaut contest yesterday. A couple days ago I bought some supplements then saw the contest banner. I haven't tried any of the Infinite Labs products so I'm very excited to get them. I ordered juggernaut and massport today but I want to begin my log now. I have never done a log before so I think this will be fun.
I'm starting in the sense that I'm joining this contest but as a juggernaut in the making there is no clear beginning and there certainty is no end. This is a way of life, a passion, and a journey that knows no limits and cannot be stopped. For me being a juggernaut means overcoming any obstacles on the quest to constantly better yourself.
After quickly looking over some of the recent logs I can already see a great sense of camaraderie and drive so I'm really excited to be a part of it.
I am 31 and began working out regularly in 2005 while in flight school. Soon after I went through some challenging situations and accidentally got a job as a personal trainer in Orlando FL. It was never meant to be a career but I ended up loving it and making it my professional focus. I have experimented with lots of training methods and my main challenge has always been gaining muscle. I'm 6'3'' with long limbs and couldn't gain any weight until I was 25 and got kind of fat. I've been up and down and in the last 6 months I have managed to get to where I am happy. Not satisfied, but confident in the direction I'm going. My training business is now pretty successful and I've had the opportunity to positively influence lots of people.
As a trainer and a trainee I study and experiment with as many styles of training as possible to see what works and to see what I enjoy.
My 12 week contest log should be interesting because I'm picking up at an unusual spot. In less than 4 weeks I am doing a photo shoot for my website which I will be launching soon. (I'm not a model or a fitness competitor. My brother is a new photographer and is taking some shots to go on my site). As a trainer I think it's important to live what you teach so naturally I want to be in the best shape I can for this. I'm at 8.6% BF right now and I am doing a 4 week countdown type preparation for the shoot. After that I will be focusing on gaining as much muscle as I can while keeping BF below 10%. I'm hoping some of you will have some good advices on how to take advantage of coming off pre contest type diet and trying to put on muscle. I am new to this type of training focus and welcome any feedback.
I am here to learn, support, improve, and of course win.
I have to go to work now so I will post my diet and training at around 9pm tonight.

My training and diet for the next 4 weeks will be to prepare for a photo shoot. I have done this twice before so my goal is to do better this time. The last time was about 4 months ago. I did a preparation program with some clients and to prove a point to other trainers at my gym I didn't do any cardio at all for over 6 months. It worked well and I learned a lot about my body and how low I could get without cardio.
I recently started training an amateur boxer. I have no boxing experience so I have been implementing some boxing type training into my routine in order to learn by experience and better help my client. I realized right away my endurance was terrible and my shoulders need a lot of work to keep up. Boxers train like animals and I've been loving being a part of the confidence and never quit attitude they have to have.
For the first time in my life I have been doing regular running between 3-5 miles (average 3-4 times per week). Right now I'm training a lot and I just began strict dieting.
Training: Lifting (more bodybuilding style) 4 times per week for about an hour.
Running 3-4 times per week for 3-5 miles (usually around 2pm in the Miami sun)
Boxing workouts: 2 times a week conditioning work including kettlebells, light
very high rep DB's, in addition to jump rope, shadow boxing, and heavy bag.
I also lead and do a couple group exercise classes a week.
Todays workout:Quads and shoulders
Leg extension warm up 3 sets 50, 30, 20 reps light
Rack squats 3 sets of around 10 (squats are probably my weakest lift)
Tri-set, 3 sets of
BB reverse lunges 10-15 per leg
Leg press 10-12
leg extension heavy 8-10
Seated smith machine shoulder press 4 sets of 15,12,10,8
Tri-set 3 sets of:
Seated DB side raise x 10-12
Standing BB shoulder press x 10
incline bench DB rear delt raises x 10
Tri-set 3 sets of:
1 arm KB shoulder press x 10
cable rear delt flys x 10
pike push ups with feet on bench to failure (about 10 or 12)
Today's diet:
Today I woke up later than usual.
Meal 1: 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, scrambled with spinach. 1/2 cup oatmeal with stevia, 2 pieces of turkey bacon.
Meal 2: 4 oz talapia and cucumbers
Meal 3: protein shake with water
workout
Meal 4: 5 oz talapia with mixed vegetables in olive oil and vinegar (cucumbers, small amount of tomatoes, spinach, avocado, small amount of raisins)
Meal 5: Protein shake with water and unsweetened espresso.
Meal 6: 5 oz talapia, big mixed greens salad with olive oil and vinegar, cucumbers, banana peppers.
A little over 1 1/2 gallons of water.
Supplements:
ON hydro-whey
Xtend (4-5 servings mixed with water throughout day)
Top secret NO 370 pre-workout (It's ok, I'm looking forward to juggernaut!)
ON glutamine post workout
sci-fit kre-alkalyn post workout (I have a little left, haven't noticed anything from it)

Day 2
Took my news paper picture today.
Feeling good and motivated. Still won't get my infinite products for a couple days.
I'm already dropping weight with my diet change a few days ago. Primary protein sources are fish, egg, whey with occasional chicken. I can loose weight quickly and I'm pretty active right now so I will have to monitor my weight loss so I don't get too small. My main focus for my photos will be abs. I really want to get my abs defined for these pictures. So I will focus on that and try to minimize loss in size as much as possible but I definitely have a specific focus and look I'm going for.
Today's workout
Standing BB curls 15,12, 10, 8, 6
Seated alternating DB curls 3 sets of 8
straight bar skull crushers 4 sets 20, 15, 10, 8
Triset:3 sets
Spider curls x 10
Overhead v-bar triceps extension x 10-12
MB decline bench sit ups x 15
Triset: 3 sets
close grip EZ curls x 10
rope triceps pressdown x 10-12
Weighted bosu crunch x 15
Ran 2 miles
I still have another workout to do tonight around 6. I will do about 30 min boxing circuits and about 40 min full body circuit with a group I train.

First dose of juggernaut today! Loved it. Great taste, mixes well. I've used soooo many different pre workout drinks so I was anxious to see how this one compares. I felt really strong and got great pumps. The energy and focus is what I felt set it above others. I find with jacked, 1mr, and hemorage I get really hyper fast and sometimes tend to crash too early. With juggernaut it crept up a little slower but then the more I pushed the more momentum I gained. Towards the end of my workout I felt like I kept getting more into it and wanted to keep going. Can't wait to continue taking it to really put it to the test.
Everyone was right on about massport, tastes incredible! I will definitely be looking forward to drinking that after my workouts.
Got home late and have to be back at the gym to teach a 6am class so I'm going to be quick with my diet log. Fridays I workout with the class so I need to be rested. I'm debating whether or not to drink juggernaut before class. If I do, No one will be able to keep up!
Diet today:
1. Whey mixed with coffee and water
2. 2 eggs 3 whites, turkey bacon, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers scrambled with the eggs. 3/4 cup oatmeal with stevia and a few raisins.
3. Protein shake with blueberries
4. Massport after workout, then about 20 min later (pressed for time) protein shake with water and a bowl of chopped cucumber, avocado, tomato.
5. 6 oz white fish, sauteed Brussels sprouts, raw broccoli slaw.
6. Protein shake before bed.
