[skrak]

day 48

20 min hiit on stairmaster

made a food plan for today, going to really work hard on this food thing

[skrak]

day 49

got to gym early sunday to avoid crowds, was great

i tried a new workout i call trap killer.

BB shrugs
50 reps at 90#
25 reps at 140#
15 reps at 180#
10 reps at 230#
8 reps at 270#
5 reps at 320#
5 reps at 320#
8 reps at 270#
10 reps at 230#
15 reps at 180#
25# at 140#
50 reps at 90#

you would not believe the burn. I looked a fool on the last set of 50, struggling to life 90#, was funny to see people looking at me like I was nuts.

finished it off with 25 min of hiit on the stairmaster.

keeping up with my food plan, even though i feel hunger in the depths of my soul

i don't know what i would do without my JHP.

I also ordered a month suppy of final cutz and final form. should be here in time to use it the last 30 days of the challenge, cant wait to log the results.

Diet, training, and supplementation are the key to achieving optimal results in any program. I have found that the diet modification tends to be the hardest and requirse the how bad you want it mentality. You can do this and if you need help with the diet reach out to are Infinite Pros for guidance, Joe really can help A lot!!!


** Little Monday Motivation coming at you on Sunday **
Take time today and step back and admire all that is you, we as people get caught up worrying about so many little things and over look a very important concept.
Praising ourselves and all that we have achieved in life. We deserve are day in the spotlight as much as anyone else... Well today is that day! Celebrate Yourself and all that makes you a amazing person. YOU ROCK!!!

* HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DIETING RESULTS?....**Regarding weight loss, There's no magical way to lose weight. It comes down to Physical Activity and Diet.... Take in fewer calories than you burn OR burn more through Training/Cardio then your taking in and you lose weight. Customizing your diet and training to your specific goal is the key to maximizing your results, dont try short cuts, fast gimmicks and so on, they will only back fire on you, if your not sure whether your training and diet is customized for your goal, reevaluate your calorie/carb daily intake and the type of training/cardio regiment your on.
For those that can't seem to lose excess weight despite diet and exercise, they should talk to their doctor, there are only two medical reasons ; Cushion's syndrome or having an under active thyroid gland, Other then that, you need to do the work.....
train hard, train smart, train safe, train to be the next Juggernaut......

Hey! I did HIIT on the stair stepper this morning! Loved it. 32 minutes of intervals, and I like how I can work my calves in there as well. Nice work!

Is that the order you do legs? Or do you switch it around depending on what is open? I tend to be rather strict in the order I do legs. I do them in a certain order to make sure they are warmed up and pumped up well before I do heavy leg presses and squats and then burn them out later with more extensions and lungesas the last exercise.

[ezericw]

Nice work Brandon!

That Leg Workout looks intense! I was wondering the same as kennknee about the weight you were using?

Keep up the great work on the log, man. It's very cool!

[skrak]

What kind of weight are you throwing up there these days?

i warm up with 135 x15 for 2 sets on squats before i go heavy. im staying fairly light n squats topping at 275x5 for the last set working on form and trying to get more flexibility in my hips. extensions and curls i do as many reps as i can with the full stack on each machine. usually in the 12-20 rep range.

im strict in my order. i do the lunges 2nd always rather then last so i can go harder with them. i hate them the most and they make me the most sore. my glutes are a huge weak spot in my lower body so i try to hit them extra hard. Not sure why lunges make hurt so bad, but they do.

[skrak]

day 52

still sick, took a extra rest day

day 53

chest and tri's

flat bb bench, low weight, 5 sets with 225# at 5-10 reps
incline bench 3 sets
cable crossovers 3 sets
skullcrushers 3 sets
cgbp 3 sets
tricep pushdowns 3 sets
weighted crunches 4 setsx30
hyper extensions 2 sets x20


started final form and final cutz today, excited to see what happens

I understand, Glutes are not a problem area for me...LOL After doing the lunges try some stiff leg deadlifts and squeeze with your glutes and not your lower back... That will help create some growth and strengthening as well!

I usually do lying hyper extensions, squeezing with glutes after both leg days. i may have to do more DL. thanks for the advice

275x5 is no joke for squats. You should do a video!

I have just started Final Form and Final Cutz as well. Let's hope for both of us, it is as advertised.

Anytime.... also.. if your knees will take it... DEEP ass to heels squats will help with the glutes... I do them deep on occasion as well as on front squats. Full range of motion is key and don't try and go heavy doing these until you build up the strength ... I typically only do the full range of motion with 135, maybe up to 225, but those typically are my first two sets...go with how your body feels and stay safe with the weight.

[skrak]

day 54

back and bi's

rows, lat pulls, shrugs, curls galore. just did as many sets as i could, then dropped the weight and did more. didnt count, just lifted till i couldnt lift anything else.

weighed in at 247.6 today, so showing some progress

day 55

rest day, also travel day; heading to Redmond WA for a week for work. hope there is a gym close by.

Being sick definitely sucks.... I am dealing with that right now as well! And it raining out does not help one bit!

[kconnell]

Being sick, stinks. Lots of liquids and Vitamin C.

************** JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT *************
~TOPIC OF THE DAY IS~
”EATING RIGHT FOR THE APPROPRIATE TRAINING REGIMENT IS THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEEDING"

As I read the logs I have come across many juggernauts eating the wrong foods at the wrong time of day or not enough food/macros for their specific training regiment goal, therefore here is some helpful information;

Fueling your body adequately is one of the most important aspect for your fitness success, failing to do so, your results will suffer... Eating before you exercise gives you the necessary energy to work out; eating after you exercise helps you restore your body’s needed resources from the training. However, you can’t just consume mindless calories. You need to pay attention to what you are putting into your body if you want the benefits from your hard earned work. This is what happens to your body when you are done with an intense exercise regiment immediately your body is working to repairing any damage, such as microscopic tears in your muscles from weight lifting. AGAIN … In order for your body to repair itself, you need to give it the correct tools. Food; It provides us with our Protein, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants.

* NOTE; What and how much you eat should be determined by your training regiment goal. The Proper and the right amount of nutrition lets you meet your goals and recovery more quickly. Skipping a single meal is not recommended because it will interfere with the healing progress.

- Train hard, train smart, train safe, train to be the next Juggernaut......Im here if you need me
