    Wish I was there but since Body Pump kicked my butt today glad I have a reprieve from the torture. Have fun and make sure he can get back home without being crippled.

      sl deads 95x10 145x10 195x10 245x10

      done for the day and freaking absolutely smoked. that was one hell of a brutal workout today. gusto hung in there and hit all the exact same numbers and weights that i did, so that puts him up there in super beast mode status. he actually hung and didnt quit like damn near everyone else does, so my hats off to the man. he actually did it while a tad under the weather so that is even more impressive. he will be tearing the stage up here in the near future for damn sure. only thing i have to note other than my legs are wrecked is i have a jacked up neck that is absolutely killing me. went out to diner and was looking down at a menu and it just locked up and has been killing me ever since. hopefully it relaxes and eases up soon cause this is horrible. i also tried a new sleep product from blackstone labs called Anesthetized. this stuff is no joke and works freaking awesome. i only took one serving and could have prob moved up another half serving but it put me down pretty good with a single.


      meal 1
      protein cakes

          today:

          supposed to be a chest/delt day but i am taking it off. my neck is so freaking jacked up i cant pinch my shoulder blades together in order to work chest. so i decided to take today as an off day to try to get it rested up and loosened back up. i am icing and using pain cream to try to get it back in order. this is a shitty neck trap crick or whatever you want to call it but it sucks bad

            done for the day. neck is quite a bit better but still not 100% back to normal. i am hoping to wake up to it being good because tomorrow is supposed to be heavy back day. fingers crossed and ice packing the hell out of it today. chest and back was a good session and moved some good weight without losing speed till the end.

                I'm not a doctor but I got to think this man had to have some underlying condition or other factors that caused this. I think its a little extreme to say this type of training causes this due to one case. I find it hard to believe that the level and duration of training this man did was the sole cause of this condition. Me and guns were done within minutes and I find it hard to believe there was enough waste or broken down muscle tissue to cause damage to the kidneys as long as we were adequately hydrated.

                    i am not to overly concerned with the kidney issue since we dont really hit it that hard or often. max on occlusion for me is 8 sets in about 10 mins give or take and it is done max 2x a wk at the most. i will post up a research link to its safety and effectiveness as well when i get some down time

                      done for the day. awesome freaking day today. neck is still a smidge tender but it had no effect on my training today. moved some heavy weight that felt really good and the pump was silly. probably had another 90lbs or so on the rack pulls but didnt want to risk my neck getting more aggervated so i held back a little bit to be safe. i am overall happy with the day and my back thickness and density is def showing big time i think. def going to be showing some huge improvements from last year for damn sure.

                        Blood Occlusion Training
                        1
                        Practical Occlusion Training
                        By: Jeremy P Loenneke, Southeast Missouri State University
                        Published
                        :
                        May 2009
                        Introduction
                        Restricting blood flow to a muscle
                        , and
                        exercising; does
                        n’t
                        that sound ridiculous? I
                        used to think so, until I came across occlusion training. Occlusion training is a fairly new
                        mode of exercise that allows one to train at very low intensities and receive the benefit of
                        high intensity exercise.
                        Intensities as l
                        ow as 20% 1RM have been shown to result in
                        increased muscle mass when performed with modera
                        te blood flow restriction with no
                        increase in markers for muscle damage
                        (Loenneke & Pujol, in press)
                        .
                        How can this benefit bodybuilders?
                        As we all know, it’s hard
                        to train at high
                        intensities (>85% 1RM) day in and day out. Those conditions drain you
                        both physically and
                        mentally. Occlusion training
                        allow
                        s
                        you to give
                        not only
                        your joints a break
                        from the
                        heavy
                        loading
                        , but also
                        your mind.
                        Mechanisms
                        What does
                        restricting blood flow do that translates into bigger muscles? There are a
                        variety of proposed mechanisms, but a few seem to be the most prominent. The three
                        mechanisms below appear to act together to produce an environment that is favorable to
                        muscle gr
                        owth with low intensity occlusion training.
                        1.
                        Fiber Type Recruitment (Fast twitch fiber recruitment)
                        2.

                        Blood Occlusion Training
                        2
                        3.
                        mTOR pathway activation (protein synthesis)
                        Fiber Type Recruitment
                        During low i
                        ntensity exercise, slow twitch fibers (oxidative) are primarily recruited as
                        they are able to adequately handle the workload. This isn’t advantageous to bodybuilders
                        because, fast twitch fibers (glycolytic) have the greatest potential for growth.
                        When on
                        e
                        moderately restricts blood
                        -
                        flow, it limits the amount of oxygen available to the slow twitch
                        (oxidative) fibers thus causing a rapid recruitment of fast twitch (glycolytic) fibers to handle
                        the workload. Thus with occlusion, fast twitch fibers are able
                        to be trained with a low
                        -
                        intensity workload.
                        EMG (electromyography) studies were completed to confirm that there
                        is an increase in motor unit firing with occlusion. The EMG data also revealed no difference
                        between low intensity occlusion training and hig
                        h intensity exercise
                        (Moritani, Michael
                        -
                        Sherman, Shibata, Matsumoto, & Shinohara, 1992; Takarada, Tsuruta, & Ishii , 2004)
                        . This
                        means that despite the light weight, the firing rate mimics that of heavy resistance training.
                        Metabolic Accumulation
                        Occlusion training with low intensities has shown increases in lactate and growth
                        hormone (GH). The increase in GH has actually been shown to be even higher than that
                        seen with heavy resistance training. One study in athletes showed a 290x increase in G

                        .
                        Lactate
                        increasing is linked to GH, in that an increase in lactate makes the environment within the
                        muscle
                        more
                        acidic. Remember, there is an inverse relationship between lactate
                        and pH, so
                        as lactate increases, pH decreases. There is evidence to indicate that a low pH stimulates
                        the pathway that plays an important role in the secretion of GH
                        (Gosselink, et al., 1998)

                        The mTOR pathway has

                        Fast twitch fiber recruitment, metabolic accumulation, and mTOR activation are three

                        occlusion t

                        likely the most
                        prominent

                        Occlusion Device
                        So you know
                        the benefits, you know the m
                        echanisms, but how would a bodybuilder
                        occlude a muscle? The research uses something called a KAATSU apparatus. This is an
                        expensive machine that many of us don’t have lying around. My lab has been working on a
                        practical way
                        to do this by testing the effects of elastic knee wraps.
                        We have
                        postulated
                        that
                        tying
                        elastic knee wraps around the legs
                        will
                        induce a stimulus similar to that of using
                        expensive equipment.
                        Our
                        latest study was to examine a protocol that could be utili
                        zed by
                        the greatest number of people. Having blood flow restricted is very uncomfortable, so our
                        lab has directed efforts to find ways to increase the comfort to pain ratio. We investigated
                        the lactate response to low
                        -
                        intensity exercise with blood flow
                        being restored after each set.
                        Our preliminary data has shown that when flow is restored to normal it does not induce
                        a
                        significant rise in lactate over control.
                        This tells me that when blood flow is restored after
                        each set, it doesn’t allow for the inte
                        nsity of the exercise to change enough to see a rapid
                        recruitment of additional fibers.
                        So when prescribing occlusion training, it seems essential
                        to keep the occlusion on throughout the exercise, to allow for the necessary intramuscular
                        environmental cha
                        nges to occur leading to muscular growth.
                        Since it is only preliminary
                        research, future efforts will/are being done to find out more.
                        Blood Occlusion Training
                        4
                        Occlusion for the upper body can also occur by using elbow wraps for the upper arm
                        and wrist wraps for the forearms. Ag
                        ain, you would wrap it proximal to the muscle you
                        wish to train. If you are hitting biceps that day, elbow wrap the very top of your upper arm,
                        and for forearms you would occlude the upper portion of your lower arm (elbow area).
                        In
                        the next section, I’ll
                        discuss how to receive occlusion benefits for the upper body.
                        Exercise Rx
                        for UPPER/LOWER
                        As I’ve stated before, our lab did not see a significant difference in lactate between
                        groups,
                        when blood flow was restored in between sets. Thus, I
                        would recommend leaving
                        the elastic knee wraps on throughout until the 4 sets have been completed.
                        This stimulus
                        will likely
                        allow for the increased recruitment of Type 2 fibers, which would result in a
                        significant increase in lactate.
                        Occlusion benefit
                        s for the lower body have been very
                        promising, in that every study has shown significant increases in muscle mass over the
                        control.
                        As far as occlusion for the upper body, an interesting paper from Madarame et al.
                        (2008)
                        has shown that one can receive benefits of occlusion for the upper body by occluding
                        the lower body. This cross
                        -
                        over effect is likely attributed to the large increase in hormones
                        due to the larger muscles of the leg musculature. The large

                        er
                        biceps.
                        Madarame showed that when occlusion of the
                        legs followed a light upperbody exercise, it resulted in significant hypertrophy.
                        Although indirect occlusion for the upper body is effective, as stated pr
                        eviously, it is
                        possible to also directly occlude the upper body by using elbow and wrist wraps. Obviously,
                        this would directly effect the biceps, triceps, and forearms. So what about the other
                        muscles of the upper body? There is research out of Fujita’
                        s laboratory in Japan that
                        suggests that one can hypertrophy the chest, by occluding the upper portion of the arm.
                        The idea is that during the bench press, the triceps would fatigue fast, resulting in a higher
                        recruitment of the chest to pick up the load.
                        One would also suspect that the same could be

                        done for the back, by occluding the arm in the same spot (very top of the arm).
                        Theoretically, during a lat pull down, occluding the biceps would cause a higher recruitment
                        of fibers from the back.
                        One of
                        the most interesting studies was conducted by A
                        be et al.
                        (2006). They have
                        found that walking at very low speeds
                        on a treadmill
                        results in bigger muscles too.
                        Muscular growth occurred at a speed of about 2 mph.

                        To use the

                        you will need to know how to figure percentages of

                        For example, if you’re 1RM on the BB Squat is 405 pounds, here’s how you would
                        figure your intensity.
                        405 x 0.2= 81 pounds would be the minimum weight you would work with
                        .

                        Blood Occlusion Training
                        6
                        Upper body occlusion is basically performing an exercise for the body part you wish to grow
                        at
                        a
                        low intensity (50% 1RM) followed by occluding the legs.
                        Training at 50% 1RM is low
                        enough intensity that you ar
                        en’t causing a major stress to the joints, but it appears
                        sufficient enough to activate the hormonal receptors
                        (Madarame, Neya, Ochi, Nakazato,
                        Sato, & Ishii, 2008)
                        .
                        So
                        let’s
                        say your max bench is 400 pounds, you would use 200
                        pounds with normal bloodflow for 3 sets of 10, followed by occlusion with the leg extension
                        and leg curl.
                        Occluding the large musculature of the legs will result in a huge increase in
                        hormones. Hormone
                        s are transported in the blood and blood goes everywhere in the body.
                        So, the hormone release from the lower body will be transporte
                        d to the hormone receptors
                        activated with the upper body exercise.
                        Obviously you could do it for many different
                        exercises,
                        but listed below are just a few to give you an example.

                        Abe et al.
                        (2006)
                        had subjects walk on a treadmill
                        at ~2mph for 5 sets of 2 minute intervals with 1 minute rest between intervals. They did
                        this twice a day and after 6 weeks
                        the subjects who had been walking occlud
                        ed gained
                        a
                        significant amount of muscle over
                        those in the
                        control
                        who were walking with normal
                        bloodflow
                        . So how can you receive this benefit
                        at your gym? If you want to train
                        your
                        upper leg, wrap the very top portion of your thigh. However, if you wan
                        t to train calves,
                        wrap the knee wraps around your knees, as you would for squatting. Instead
                        of completely
                        resting
                        between intervals, I recommend lowe
                        ring the intensity and just moving
                        slower than
                        you were for your actual working interval. For example,
                        with the elliptical
                        ,
                        let’s
                        say you are
                        sticking with LEVEL 10 for your resistance during the intervals, lower it to LEVEL 4 or 5 for
                        your rest interval.
                        Remember, you shouldn’t be in an all out sprint during the working
                        interval, light to moderate seems t
                        o be the most effective environment for the benefits of
                        occluded cardio.
                        Conclusions
                        In conclusion, this paper has discussed the mechanisms by which occlusion works
                        and even more important, how a bodybuilder can occlude a muscle to receive the benefits
                        of training heavy with light
                        er
                        weight.

                        Blood Occlusion Training
                        8
                        Some Key Points

                        I would
                        recommend that one not occlude a muscle for more than 30 minutes
                        a
                        t a time
                        This is purely a safety concern. One must understand the difference
                        between acute and chronic effects. Acute blood flow restriction is a
                        definite positive, but chronically cutting off blood flow would likely
                        result in actual tissue death.

                        Ne
                        ver use occlusion with anything above 50% 1RM
                        As bodybuilders, we
                        often
                        fall into the trap of more is better. If a
                        person would use occlusion with heavy lifting; 1) they are defeating
                        the point of occlusion training; 2) it doesn’t appear to have a
                        synergi
                        stic effect anyway
                        (Laurentino, et al., 2008)
                        ; and 3) I believe
                        this could cause potential harm to the body.

                        Wrap the knee wraps tight, but not crazy tight (We want moderate occlusion,
                        not full occlusion)
                        This goes back to the phrase, moderate blood
                        -
                        flow restriction, NOT
                        COMPLETE. We only need a moderate change to receive benefit.

                        If you have any indications of impaired endothelial function (Diabetics
                        included), DO NOT OCCLUDE
                        If a person already has an impaired vascular system, I would urge
                        them not to try occlusion as it could be very dangerous to there well

                                done for the day. in and out and done super quick. good workout no real complaints other than a little pain my low back by my hip. hopefully that isnt hindering for legs tomorrow. getting the same sensation when i hurt it originally a long long time ago. funny thing is it loosened up and felt better after deads, then two days later it is ill tempered. i guess i am getting old haha.
