Kind of feeling my way around, getting to know the new equipment. I am so used to my dungeon basement and having this better quality stuff is great!

So are you officially back to using a commercial gym full time or are you going to mix things up between the two.

[JohnButz]

Wow John! Awesome and congrats! I know you've been talking about going to a commercial gym for a long period of time now, and you finally did it! What made you decide to do it? Change of scenery, or being able to add more movements to your workouts?

I'm excited to see what you're going to do!



You need to add it to your signature also! :P

My wife asked me to join at her gym. She is doing an NPC show and needs some help here and there.

So are you officially back to using a commercial gym full time or are you going to mix things up between the two.

I will be at the commercial gym exclusively.

Time to reevaluate pull-ups. Both spots where I hook my resistance bands in the ceiling are starting to get very weak, rofl. Was thinking about buying or making a bar, but I'm not sure the door jams would hold up, rofl.

---Workout---

(All pull-ups were performed with a resistance band)

Wide front pull-ups - 30
Lawnmowers - 30lbsx15
Twenty-ones - 20lbsx21

Switch grip pull-up - 30
Elbows-out lawnmower - 30lbsx15
Standing bicep curl - 20lbsx12
One-arm concentration curl - 20lbsx12
Corn cob pull-up - 20
Reverse grip bent-over row - 20lbsx15
Open-arm curl - 20lbsx10
Static arm curl - 20lbsx16
Towel pull-up - 25
Congdon locomotive - 30lbsx30
Crouching Cohen curl - 20lbsx8
One-arm corkscrew curl - 20lbsx10
Chin-up - 25
Seated bent-0ver back fly - 20lbsx20
Curl-up/Hammer down - 20lbsx10
Hammer curl - 20lbsx12
Max rep pull-up - 35
Supermans - 5 (10 second hold)
In-out hammer curls - 20lbsx8
Strip-set curl - 30lbsx8, 20lbsx8, 10lbsx10

Many of my lifts increased in either reps, or in weight. I'm really pleased!

---Core---

Standard Crunches - 100
Reverse Crunches - 50
Oblique crunches - 25 each side

---Supplementation---

I had a tub of White Flood that was just about gone, so I decided to experiment...HAHAHA!!

1 scoop of Crimson Punch Juggernaut with 1 scoop of Watermelon White Flood...HOLY CRAP!!!!!
5 Scoops of flavored BCAA in 2.2 liters of water sipped pre, intra and post as well as throughout the day.
I will have 2 whey shakes of 1.5 scoops each. Between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner
1 scoop x 2 of a protein blend. Once before bed, and with my lunch (going to be running into town, so this will be a meal replacement.)
Orange Triad multi
Oximega fish oil - 4 total
Flaxseed Oil - 4 total

Juggernaut's Performance

I tried this little concoction, and the BA tingles and energy were through the roof! However, this is not everything that I want, and I like 2 scoops of Juggernaut much better.

Energy - 10/10
Focus - 6/10 It was really lacking and I credit that to only having 1 scoop of Juggernaut
Endurance - 8/10 Same deal here
Pumps - 6-10 Also the same.

I WILL NOT be using any other pre-workout except for Juggernaut. However, it may be time to start looking for a stim-free pre-w/o so I can take a break from stims in a while.

Do you basically do 1 set of each exercise?

[J_Dieter]

Do you basically do 1 set of each exercise?

Yes sir, at least for this phase. I'm following P90X, so with this phase there is 1 set of a bunch of different types of workouts. In Phase 1, there are half the workouts and twice the sets. In phase 3, it mixes us both phases!


As far as diet goes today, I'm trying something a little different. I usually wait until about an hour, hour and a half post workout to have my first meal. However, today I ate 20 minutes after I my workout, and I'm going to see how that goes. I noticed that on some of the days, I feel pretty drained and lack energy throughout most of the day. So far, so good.

My post workout meal consisted of 68g of carbs (roughly 3/4s, maybe more of my daily carbs, I wanted less, but I felt like I needed it) and 47g's of protein. In about 30 minutes, or 1 hour after that meal, I will be having 1 scoop of whey.

Here's to hoping I'm not messing up too bad. rofl.

[CLB454]

Looking good bro. Good to see your weights and reps are increasing!!! Keep bringin it!!!

Justin you'll have to take a picture of your pull-up set-up. Bill mentioned to me once to use resistance bands to assist with the pull-ups. Since you're using that method I'm interested to see how you set it up so that I can determine if it's something I could also incorporate.

I can do that for you! It's pretty basic. I took one of the really large planter hooks that you get to...hang planters, haha and screwed it really tight into my ceiling. rofl!

Here are some videos of ways that you could do easily!





He also mentions duct tape, which is pretty much the same thing. You get a roll of duct tape and run your band through it. Drape it over the top of your door and push it closed tightly. The tape prevents the band from sliding through the cracks!

If you still want a picture of my hook, let me know, I'll get one snapped for you.

Ahhhhh. Those are pulldowns vs. pullups. The mechanics are totally different. I could do that with my lat attachment and actually was using that as an alternate exercise to rows. Then I read this... http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/charles4.htm So I've been trying to build my strength in pull-ups ever since. When Bill mentioned it, I pictured tieing the band to my chin-up bar, and then the other end to my waste (via a weight belt) to essentially "slingshot" me up to the top. Not sure if that's what Bill was suggesting, or if what you're doing is what he was talking about.

Oh oh oh! I love videos! Especially when they're created by a Juggernaut. I suppose a video of the champ will have to do. Haha. This thread is looking alive and well! John and Deter destroying their sessions as usual. I wouldn't expect any less. Leg inspiration from Dana Linn Bailey!

I hear you there. This weekend is the first weekend for the local university and EVERYTHING is nuts! The roughest part are the drivers who don't know the area. Lotof goofy turns and such. Needless to say I think I've had a weeks worth of cardio in 2 hours today with my heart rate being up so high. rofl

[J_Dieter]

All this talk about running...


I did my first 2 miles tonight! Yessssssssssssssssss.

I'm not too sure what the time was total, but the 2nd mile was a 12minute 30 second mile. Still slow, but it's still an improvement over my last mile by 1 lousy second..rofl. But hey...it's improvement!

Did 5 minutes of stretching and about 2 minutes of a warm-up walk. Plan was to just do a mile, and I looked at my wife, who's sick and she said she felt good, so did I....so I just kept runnnnnninnnnnnnggggg.

Sick job man. I have to coach cross country in September and I have been so focused on resistance training that my cardiovascular is lacking! Great job again.

[kconnell]

That's quite the pre-cocktail you use KC!

I love how you have sets just for your forearms. Mine are lagging behind, I'm going to have to do this.

Thanks. No lie - I've been having the best workouts and most success being on the Infinite Stack. Great stuff and tastes good too!

Forearms are easily overlooked by most people - like abs and calves. These "little details" really make a bodybuilder though. Look at Lee Priest - he is known for his forearms. Mine are still subpar to my standard, but are looking better. Some people have a genetic gift, which I can usually spot - they have great insertion points and larger than normal brachioradialis.,

kc: Nice addition of those Zottmans, bro. Those things are hard. Definitely am loving your arm routine. Keep destroying them muscles!

Thanks. Once you get used to the pattern, you can do it on auto-pilot. It's somewhat a forgotten exercise. Still swole the next day, but with the Glutamine, I get the swole, but not the ache.

Nice work on those bench dips KC!

Thanks John. At the moment, I'm nursing a recurring injury - costochonritis. It is an inflammation of the cartilage in the chest between the ribs and the sternum. Therefore, I'm off back (stretches the chest), chest (obviously), and overhead pressing (stretches the chest). I feel better in that area, but want to play it safe. Using Aleve for anti-inflamitories. I should be back at them in a week, I estimate. These two exercises (bench dips and pushdowns) I can do without feeling it in my chest. Skullcrushers affect it and I did those a few weeks back and the close-grip pull-ups to the lower chest (where your upper body is virtually parallel with the floor) are hard on the chest, but are really good producers of growth. I just have to watch it.

[kconnell]

how do you like the Cyclo Bolan?

I like it. I notice "that area" is warmer. and notice a light increase in strength and size that I believe I can attribute to it. I am a light sleeper and it takes me a week (second week) to get used to it. IOW, I don't sleep well the second week on it - even with ZMA. Happened both times I've started its cycle. Other people don't notice it or are affected this way, but I've been plauged with sleep problems for 16 years or so...

So would you recommned Bolan? Or do you think there is a better alternative? I am a pretty light sleeper as well, I used to have to sleep with my eyes covered by a towel and ear plugs in haha. I tried ZMA in the past,but it didn't do much. I'm currently taking Higher Power GABA powder, and I'm very impressed with it. I sleep better and seem to recover much faster....do have some pretty crazy dreams though. Has anyone here tried GABA and had these same results? I read that it only works for some people....guess i'm one of the lucky ones
